After the leak of the “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” trailer online the other day, Warner Bros. decided not to wait until Monday to unveil the official copy. It’s still going to play on IMAX screens this coming Monday, but now with additional footage for the IMAX viewing audience to enjoy.

Welcome to Trailer Thursday! There are some new high profile trailers appearing (and disappearing) online today. I will begin posting them here – starting with the full trailer from “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.” Some scallywag recorded this thing in a theater. And for the record, I do not recommend this sort of thing. It’s wrong! But the scallywag in me just had to show it.

Jared Leto was missing from the “Suicide Squad” cast photo the other week, but now comes a stand-alone with him seemingly in Joker makeup. The photo is taken in a way that is to remind us of Alan Moore’s cover for his 1988 Batman Comic “The Killing Joke.” That’s the comic that finally gave the Joker an origin story and paralyzed Barbara Gordon (Batgirl). And – SPOILER (but hey, it’s 27 years old so come on now) – it’s the one where Batman may or may not have killed The Joker at the end (which I guess is still in debate).
It hasn’t even come out yet, but doesn’t it feel as though we’ve seen so much from this film already? Actually, it probably only adds to about maybe five to ten minutes total. Well, let me add to that count. Almost nine minutes of behind the scenes footage has popped up over at CBR Trailers on YouTube. I love watching this stuff, even if it does spoil more of the movie for me. Oh yeah, SPOILER ALERT! But only in a ‘behind the scenes’ kind of way.

“Suicide Squad” is a DC property about a group of Super Villains recruited by a government agency to go secret missions that could most likely result in their deaths (hence, the name Suicide Squad). Why do they do it? Well, it’s better than being locked up for the rest of your life. And they get some time knock off their prison sentences if they survive.
There is no question that the CW show “The Flash” has been hitting it out of the ballpark all season long. It’s my personal new favorite show of the TV season. And I think the reason for that is because they seemed to have found the right balance of ‘stand-along villain of the week’ and their compelling season long-arc. Of course, add to that a mix of both good casting and great special effects.
Have you ever wanted to look like the Red Skull, the archvillain from “Captain America?” I didn’t think so. I don’t think the Red Skull wanted to look like the Red Skull. But this superfan certainly did. Thirty-seven year old Henry Damon of Caracas, Venezuela, (who now officially goes by the name “Red Skull”) took artistic expression to a whole ‘nother level. And probably one that no one on the planet Earth should go to.
This isn’t makeup that this fan applied. He had a medical school dropout by the name of Emilio Gonzales (who does this sort of thing for a living) make modifications to his face. Damon (Red Skull) had part of his nose removed, facial implants, well, implanted, and lots and lots of tattoos applied to his face. This includes tattooing his eyeballs as well. (Ouch! I mean really… Ouch!) All so he could look like the Red Skull.

Thor himself, Chris Hemsworth, hosted last nights (March 7th) edition of SNL. He was actually pretty good though I found the show this week mostly laugh free. And even though you knew it was coming, they went ahead and did an “Avengers: Age of Ultron” parody. I really didn’t find it very funny at all. The best part was a line by Bruce Banner (Pete Davidson) when he said “I think I ate a guy.”
Former criminal Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) fights crime with a super suit created by Dr. Hank Pym (Michael Douglas) that allows him to shrink to the size of an ant, but yet, increase in strength. He becomes the superhero known as “Ant-Man” – now part of the MCU.
