Margot Kidder Open To Appearing On A DCTV Show But Does Not Like Portrayal Of Lois Lane In The DCEU

Margot Kidder (Superman, Black Christmas), the original Lois Lane from the Christopher Reeves‘ Superman movies did an interview with HeyUGUys, which you can read in its entirety here. She touched on different aspects of Superman‘s history both past and present.

She expressed her interest in appearing on a DC TV show:

“Yeah, sure. Depending on the script or what they wanted me to do. I am 67, I am an old broad now! So I look back at this with much more amusement than I did. I don’t have a career I need to worry about protecting. My life has nothing to do with movies anymore. I live in a little town in Montana and basically do political activism. So I guess it would be fun to fly-in and do a couple of days work.”

She appeared on a couple episodes of Smallville so her appearing on Supergirl would be the best fit of all the DC TV shows. But before we can start speculating on what role or what show she could appear it still remains to be seen if DC would cast her in anything since she had choice words about the current portrayal of Superman in the movies.

When asked about why people prefer her and Christopher Reeves‘ portrayal of Lois Lane and Superman than the current movie offering, she placed part of the blame on the studio’s handling:

“In that sense, it’s so much simpler than the later films made it out to be. I think there was a cynical decision on the part of the studios, which are now owned by multi-national conglomerates just like everything else on the planet. So they would make these artistic decisions by non-artists – guys would want to hit the millennial demographic because they literally make up about one quarter of the population.

Probably, my guess is what happened is when they decided to hit the demographic of the millennials in the later films. I think the directors were good, the actors were good but the basic approach wasn’t there.”

And also her thoughts on the current portrayal of Lois Lane in the DCEU:

“They took one of the best American actresses’ around, Amy Adams, and didn’t give her anything to do! I mean, how stupid is that? They made her what used to be the girlfriend, which kind of ended in the 60s with women’s rights.”

Although I agree with her on how much the studios interference in the artistic decisions hamper a good movie that has been well cast I don’t believe we have seen the same movie when it comes to Lois Lane‘s portrayal. In Man of Steel she uncovered Superman‘s identity even before he was Superman and in Batman vs. Superman she figured out Lex Luthor was behind everything, something that not even Batman figured out completely. Even though Amy Adams could use more screen time she hasn’t been wasted to the extent that Margot Kidder expresses.

Hopefully DC does cast her in some role in one of their shows. She always knocks it out of the park in whatever she plays.

Daredevil SN2 EP1 – ‘Bang’

After a titanic end to season 1 and an overall good first season, the premiere for the second season of Daredevil has a lot to live up to. “Bang” lays its cards on the table early on with Daredevil in action against a group of street hoods. Matt, Karen and Foggy are all on the trail of a criminal who has violently murdered several mafiosos. Seeing Foggy and Karen in action is good because one of my criticisms of the first season overall was the way those two felt like extras.

Foggy and Matt’s relationship is good again, but it has the edge of Foggy being worried about what may happen to his friend. There are some fun scenes where the gang just shoot some pool. This does work in showing their rapport when they are out of action. They are also faced with a moral dilemma. They are officially broke, but they have to decide whether or not to take on a client with a shady past.

This stuff is all good, but this episode introduces the real star: The Punisher. While not referred to by name yet, this episode builds suspense for the character much like the first season built suspense for Fisk. This episode does cut to the chase (which is for the best – the slow burn for Fisk worked ONCE) as we do see his face by the end of the episode. But in the confines of this one episode, the show still builds suspense.

We see quick glimpses of him. He usually appears in shadow or from behind. We see that the Punisher is one tough customer. We see the damage that he caused laying waste to the mafia members – and trust me, this is some gruesome stuff. He waltzes straight into a hospital to take out his targets. He even holds his own and fights off Daredevil. We only get one full shot of the Punisher and says only one word “Bang” on screen. The man says so little with so much.

Overall, this was an excellent start to season 2. Show enough action to get the audience interested, but keep enough secret to make them want more.

Gotham Is A Mad City In Series 3 Trailer

Gotham Season is heading to our televisions on September 19th! After crashing the bus and releasing the monsters in the city Fish Mooney is back and ready to cause problems.

We already have Selina Kyle who is quite the criminal, but this season will be adding more to the fray. The city is going to be quite mad when Gotham: Mad City premieres.

This trailer highlights a lot that is coming and it really is exciting! It includes a view of many interesting things that will happen throughout the season including the change of Poison Ivy, Bruce really stepping up, and Fish amassing an army of Monsters.

Penguin will also be up to his own games and Riddler is locked up for now but he could be freed. The police will lose their grip on the city as monsters run free causing chaos these cops couldn’t think about stopping. The only one for the job is definitely James Gordon who is going to have to do some crazy things in an attempt to arrest these monsters.

Tune into Gotham Mad City when it premiers on September 19th!

 

Big Bang Theory Season 10 Premiere News!

Big Bang Theory Season 10 is coming up soon, on September 19th and it sounds like it’s going to be a doozy. Picking up where last season ended, we are going to have to deal with a lot of awkwardness.

Leonard’s Father Alfred and Sheldon’s Mother Mary have spent the night together, and they weren’t just sleeping. So of course the boys will have to deal with the awkwardness of knowing that their parents are dating. It could be humorous if the pair got married though as then Leonard and Sheldon would be step brothers.

Also adding to the craziness is Penny’s Mother played by Katy Sagal and her brother played by Jack McBrayer. We haven’t seen either of these characters but Penny’s brother has been in jail for drugs dealing and was just released do to over crowding.

I’m curious how this will all play out as Leonard and Penny re do their wedding. I’m excited for the 10th season and hope you are all excited too!

Star Wars:Rogue One Reveals R2-D2 Evil Twin

So we already know were getting a new droid in the form of K-2SO but now it has been revealed by The Star Wars Show that we will be seeing the Empires evil version of R2-D2.

The new droid will be called C2-B5 and is from the same family of robots, as it is a Astromech droid. It appears that it wont be as kind and friendly as R2-D2 due to the following. “unlike the Rebel Alliance, imperial technicians do not grant them their independence and subject them to frequent memory wipes to maintain their subservience.”

There were not many details released about the new Empire droid and whether or not it will play a big part in the movie but I think it’s safe to say that whatever part it plays is going to be interesting.

Star Wars:Rogue One will be released on December 16th.

Steven Universe SN4 EP5 – ‘Future Boy Zoltron’

Steven Universe is back at it again in another new episode. This time focusing not on a gem fight but on a few residents in Beach city.

Steven sees Mr.Smiley the resident who owns the great Funland Arcade setting up a mysterious new attraction. This fortune tell who is called Future Boy Zoltron, is reminiscent of Zoltar from the movie Big.

He goes over excited to find out about this new attraction and finds that it isn’t quite as great as is and even ends up breaking it in the process. To compensate Mr.Smiley Steven agrees to dress up as Zoltron and answer questions.

Steven is able to answer many people’s questions with his eager attitude and advice doing wonders for the people who ask for advice. Suddenly a sad man appears before Steven and asks him a question.

He is curious if anything will make him happy and Steven cannot think of an answer as he keeps asking more depressing questions. Steven finally gets him to go away by pretending to be malfunctioning. He wishes he had future sight and that is when Garnet appears.

Garnet has future vision and kissing Steven on the head, she loans it to him for a while. This is a beautiful part of the episode as Steven sees three ways the situation could play out. When the man asks the question Steven however again only sees sadness in his future. The man sighs and reveals himself to be Mr.Frownie and that he is in fact looking for Mr.Smiley.

Earlier in the episode Mr.Smiley said he was once a comedian and it turns out he was part of a duo with the aforementioned Mr.Frownie. At Steven’s urging Mr.Smiley follows Mr.Frownie to the bus stop.

This show is beautiful for many reasons and this episode showcases it. The two old friends talk and their emotions are laid bare. Mr.Frownie just wanted his friend to be serious and Mr.Smiley just wanted his friend to have fun.  It was touching seeing these two characters work out a problem that had been hiding for years.

In a surprising turn of events Mr.Smiley makes his old friend laugh. He says his goodbyes and it is clear that Mr.Frownie has turned a corner. Truly this episode that really just revolved around three characters was great in my book. Steven Universe shows that you can have an episode of a cartoon not be action packed and it will still be great.

I can’t wait for next week’s episode Last one out of Beach City!

Jumanji And Dr. Indiana “Bravestone” Johnson

Wow! Did you check out The Rock as his new character in Jumanji? The Smoldering “Dr. Bravestone”! As a big fan of Dwayne Johnson, of course I’m one of his followers on Instagram and about twelve hours ago, he shared with us this first glimpse of his character in concept art for the movie Jumanji!

Don’t you think he looks like he would be playing a character in an Indiana Jones sequel instead? Grant it, he makes the outfit look great I’m not quite sure where this new Jumanji sequel will be taking us! Now we all loved the first Jumanji and the adventures it took us on as normal suburban neighbors bringing in the unimaginable challenges of battling giant bees, a stampede of large animals, and even evil naughty monkeys! What made the movie fun was the idea that all of these crazy things were happening right in your own backyard.  Similarly, you would get the same feeling like you would while watching “Honey I Shrunk the Kids”!  S

o, with that in mind and looking at the image of Dr. Indiana Bravestone Jones character, I can’t formulate any ideas on the angle this sequel will be coming from.  However, I do know that with Dwayne Johnson’s talent for developing his characters to exhibit the fun, excitement, and adventure with a drop of drama and a dab of comedy, I am more than anxious to see this film on the big screen! I do anticipate it to be available in 3D as parts of Journey to the Center of the Earth were seen, remember the berries and the peck pop? 😂😂 In addition, there will be no way that we won’t be choking on popcorn while watching this flick with a cast to include Kevin Hart, Jack Black, AND the newest addition, Karen Gillan. Movie is due to be released in box offices on July 28, 2017. Mark your calendars!

Greg Berlanti Developing ‘Black Lightning’ TV Series

It seems the Superhero TV news just doesn’t wanna stop this week, as Deadline reports that Greg Berlanti is working on yet another DC superhero series, alongside Mara Brock Akil (The Game, Being Mary Jane) and her husband Salim Akil. The description for the hero is as follows:

“Black Lightning centres on Jefferson Pierce. He made his choice: he hung up the suit and his secret identity years ago, but with a daughter hell-bent on justice and a star student being recruited by a local gang, he’ll be pulled back into the fight as the wanted vigilante and DC legend — Black Lightning.”

Created in 1977 by Tony Isabella with Trevor Von Eeden, Black Lightning was one of DC’s first major African-American superheroes. The series is currently being pitched to networks, with the Akil’s set to write and executive produce the project together with Berlanti and his production partner Sarah Schechter.

Given all Berlanti’s other DC projects have been picked up by The CW it would be surprising to see this taken elsewhere, however given the sheer number of comic book shows on the network it’s not a certainty that this one would join the group.

Some of Berlanti’s other efforts air on different networks, such as Blindspot on NBC, and he has several series in development for ABC. Clearly then he’s a busy man, but if ‘Black Lightning’ manages to get picked up and holds a quality akin to that of ‘The Flash’, we could be looking at receiving another very popular TV show next year.
