The Dark Knight Rises R.I.P

It is sad to say that the Christopher Nolan version of Batman is coming to an end. It has been a great seven years with Christian Bale playing The Dark Knight himself, alongside with Michael Caine as Bruce Wayne's trusted butler, Gary Oldman as Jim Gordon (the best and probably the only cop on the right side of the law in Gotham)  and the God-like Morgan Freeman playing Lucius Fox (the armorer of Bruce Wayne). Unfortunately it is time to hang up the cowl as the Dark Knight Rises will be coming to cinemas in July and will complete the Batman trilogy.

The Christopher Nolan remake of The Dark Knight will be the only successful version of Batman that has completed the full trilogy.
The Film will take place eight years after he defeated the Clown Prince of Crime/ The Joker and took the fall for all the crimes Harvey Dent/ Two Face had committed.
Batman will be tested mentally and physically through the process of defeating the terrorist Bane (played by Tom Hardy). Bane is known to be the one who "Broke the Bat" in the limited comic series "Batman  Knightfall"  where he actually breaks Batmans back.
Batman will also see the likes of Catwoman played by Anne Hathaway who will be crossing paths with the Batman.
Like I said before, it has been a great seven year Mr. Nolan and I am looking foreward to what other directors may in store for the next generation of the Caped Crusader. RIP
The movie will be gliding into cinemas July 20th.

Avengers VS X-Men prologue

Avengers VS X-Men is the Marvel crossover comic book series which were released in the beginning of April 2012.

The plot includes the return of the Phoenix Force (the avatar of death and revival) and the war between the Avengers and the X-Men.
Prologue 
The prologue begins with a member of the Nova corps named Sam Alexander arriving on the birth planet of Terrax. Sam warns Terrax of an arriving force which would destroy his home planet. He then offers assistance in the evacuation of the planets citizens. Terrax doesn't believe what Sams says  and engages in a battle with him. The conflict is then broken up by the appearance of the Phoenix which Sam Alexander came to warn about. Terrax is then destroyed along with the rest of the citizens of his home planet as Alexander escapes from the death touch of the Phoenix. He then travels to Earth to full fill his mission of warning planets of the arrival of the Phoenix.

On Earth the new host for the Phoenix force has been thought to be Hope Summers and according to the X-Men will be the Messiah for Mutant kind. The X-Men protect and prepare Hope mentally and physically for the arrival of the Phoenix. The Avengers however believe that Hope should be taken into custody before the Phoenix arrives, as it will cause damage and mass destruction if it were to choose a new host.

Personally to me this is just a remake of the Civil war story line with one side going against the other with random fight sequences. However it was a rather good start for issue one of Avengers VS X-Men and I am looking forward to seeing how the story lines develop over the next 12 issues.

Which side will you choose?  The Homo Superiors with a chance of hope? Or Earths Mightiest Heroes who may have the chance to save the world once more? You decide                                                                                                                                            

Just another ordinary day at the office.......
