…Aquaman is suddenly cool?!

Have you seen that promo spot for “The New 52″ from DC Comics and Warner Bros. promoting the reboot? Well, I have and they are a bit boring if I say so myself. Well, now thanks to Patrick Willems (@pwillems), we kind of get a good idea of what is going on with “The New 52″ with a little rage in this fan-made commercial. I do understand that it’s kind of mocking the new changes that is happening in the DC universe, but it kind of had the opposite effect on me. Now, I’m a bit excited about the reboot and can’t wait to see what happens (again?). Fans make the best shit.

I Heart Gadgets: DC Comics x PENTAX Optio RS1500 Digital Camera Collector Pack

19 April 2011 Eric Kwun | Posted in: I Heart Toys

dccamera00

Every geek loves to show the world how much of a geek they really are. One of the favorite ways to doing so is customization. A pin or patch here and there sets you apart from the rest. I guess this is the idea that DC Comics and PENTAX decided to run with. Introducing the PENTAX Optio RS1500 digital camera. The RS1500 will have a unique feature that will allow the owner to change the faceplate on the camera with a selection of seven different DC Comic characters including Batman, The Joker, The Flash, Superman, Wonder Woman, Catwoman, and Green Lantern. The limited edition collector’s set will also include a 4 GB SD Card and a protective case imprinted logo of the Green Lantern. Also, if you’re not a fan of the seven provided, you can use the PENTAX Personal Skin Designer software that will allow you to create your own and print out on a color printer. The camera will be the size of your standard credit card and feature a fourteen megapixel CCD, a three inch LCD monitor, and a wide-angle 27.5mm to 110mm lens with a 4X optical zoom. Cool! Unfortunately, from what I have read, the camera will be released in Europe on May 1st for only 129 Euros. Shucks!

It’s a TEASER!: The ‘Smallville’ Finale May Make You “Believe” a Man Can Fly

8 April 2011 Eric Kwun | Posted in: Watch It!

smallvillebelieve00

Deep into it’s tenth season, ‘Smallville’ will be coming to an end very soon. Everyone is wondering what is in store for the series finale and whether Clark Kent (played by Tom Welling) will be donning the red cape before the series wraps up. Well, based on a trailer released by EW, we just might. Titled “Believe”, the short trailer features John Williams’ classic score, “The Planet Krypton”  from the original ‘Superman’ movie. The words “Believe” and the Superman shield eclipses planet Earth with Clark saying “I finally know who I am”. Maybe the series creator has big plans to show that in Smallville, “you will believe a man can fly”

A Closer Look at Eric Martsolf as Booster Gold in ‘Smallville’

30 March 2011 Eric Kwun | Posted in: Eye Candy, Watch It!

boostergold00

Couple days ago, it was announced that Booster Gold and Blue Beetle will be appearing in the 18th episode of the last season of ‘Smallville’. ‘Days of Our Lives’ star Eric Martsolf (@ericmartsolf) is set to star as Booster Gold while Jaren Grandt Bartlett will play the Blue Beetle. The episode will be written by Geoff Johns (@GeoffJohns0) and directed by Tom Welling (who plays Clark Kent/Superman on the show).

Eric Martsolf on playing Booster Gold:

The episode takes place in Booster’s very early stages where he’s at his conceited best, where he believes he can do whatever he wants. He’s gonna stay for the photo op and bask in the glory of his heroic efforts. [Beetle] wants to stand in the back and not be a glory hound, they are completely opposites of one another.

DC Comics’ Chief Creative Officer Geoff Johns on the script:

The one thing Booster does prove to Clark is that people want to look up to this guy. They want to be inspired, and no one’s doing it for them. This guy always shows up at the last second to make a dramatic rescue, which is really suspect… Sometimes you laugh with Booster, sometimes you laugh at him.

This is the first time the scarab comes on to Jaime [Reyes], so it creates a bulkier, more dangerous armor. Ultimately he’ll gain more control over the scarab and it will become more friendly looking.

I have found this last season of Smallville to be cornier and cheesier than ever, but I am intrigued about the appearance of Booster Gold and Blue Beetle. It think I’m going to have to check it out.

Super Casting: Amy Adams is Lois Lane in Zack Snyder’s ‘Man of Steel’!

28 March 2011 Eric Kwun | Posted in: Watch It!

Malin Ackerman, Kristen Stewart, Rachel McAdams, Jessical Biel, Dianna Agron, Olivia Wilde… These were all actress who’s names have been circling Hollywood since the beginning of this year as the possible candidates who may play Lois Lane in Zack Snyder’s ‘Man of Steel’. Well, now we know who Lois will be and it wasn’t the actresses we thought it was going to be. Zack Snyder’s pick for Lois Lane is none other than three time Academy award nominee, Amy Adams. You may know Amy Adams for films such as ‘Enchanted’, ‘Doubt’, and ‘The Fighter’. Well, now she can add the iconic role of Lois Lane to her already impressive resume. I love the choice as Amy Adams has been proven to be able to play a diverse collection of roles ranging from comedy to drama. She is a perfect choice to join Henry Cavill (Clark Kent/Superman), Kevin Costner (Jonathan Kent), and Diane Lane (Martha Kent). This cast is turning out to be a high-calibur ensemble and it’s exciting to see who else will join Zack Snyder’s ‘Man of Steel’.

Illustrations: What If Jon Hamm was Batman or Superman?

24 March 2011 Eric Kwun | Posted in: Eye Candy

superhamm02

Easily one of the manliest man I know, Jon Hamm dazzles. He is amazing and a real pimp on ‘Mad Men’ and the man makes both women and men weak in the knees. So what happens if our beloved Jon Hamm is either Superman or Batman? I’ll tell you what happens. Your face explodes. “Bathamm” and “Superhamm” were created by caricaturist/illustrator, Stanley Chow (@stan_chow). I would think Don Drapper would be an amazing pairing with Bruce Wayne and they would drink up all the whiskey and scotch in Gotham, but even Drapper would think Kent is a real drag. Drapper would probably just end up sleepin’ with Lois for good measure before waking up in a drunken rage. Good times!

Revealed: Superboy Makes His Way to ‘Smallville’

15 February 2011 Eric Kwun | Posted in: Current Events, OMGWTFBBQ!

‘Smallville’ is in a mad rush to squeeze as many new characters into the final season as possible. During last weeks episode (I actually watched it… go figure…), we find out that Lex Luthor clone (yeah… clones…), Alexander (played by Lucas Gabreel0) has some similar “traits” that you find with Clark Kent. When the needle of a syringe failed to puncture Alexander’s skin, it was obvious that he was not an actual Lex Clone. Well, it is reported that Smallville will reveal that the psycho bastard Alexander Luthor actually is Kon-El AKA Conner Kent. An as you may already know, Conner Kent is Kryptonian/human hybrid clone of Superman and Lex Luthor. Later, Conner becomes Superboy in the DC Universe. Well, from the picture released earlier this week, it looks like Conner will be busting out the black shirt with iron-on logo very soon. Damn, Smallville is so confusing…
