I do not understand why we can idolize one actor who became Batman for a time but continuously replace the actor who plays Joker. And the killing joke is, we just accept it. It must be admitted that accepting a new cast to become Batman is just as hard as accepting a new cast for the Joker. And as the latest news, Joaquin Phoenix as The New Joker.
In our era, it was felt when replacing Christian Bale with Ben Affleck. All the fuss and criticism loud at the time, but then silent when seeing the results in Batman V Superman. I’m sure all those who criticize Ben Affleck are now watching BVS and the Justice League. While it may be that Jared Leto’s critics are not necessarily watching the Suicide Squad. Are they not?
While there are only two actors playing Batman (not Bruce Wayne since Bruce is not Batman yet in Gotham), we have three people playing Joker at the same timespan. Heath Ledger, Jared Leto and Cameron Monaghan, and all in the different universe.
More About Joaquin Phoenix
This is not the first time Joaquin collaborate himself in DC’s project. He was once having a small role in Superboy as Billy Hercules. You might have known him from:
Unlike other superhero films that release lots of leaks and trailers a few years before its release date, Venom is scheduled to hit the cinema this year just pulled out the teaser trailer this time. Not to confuse this Venom with Venom movie in 2005, because this one is Spiderman’s archenemy in Spider-man 3. Yes, the sticky wet asphalt spider-like character. Anyway, in my opinion, this Venom official trailer looks promising.
As always, the Marvel characters who enter Sony’s production lab will have some changes. Like, the change of origin and even sometimes leaving only the costume and name alone. Still, remember the disappointment of Wolverine’s fans when until his death in Logan never wear the costume? Or is that a good thing?
Looks like Spiderman will not appear in this movie, and I do hope Spiderman will not show up. Because, to accept the Spiderman version of Holland that Marvel worked on was hard, but then I watched Homecoming and immediately fascinated, no matter how wrong it was. And when Avengers comes and Sony’s Spiderman also appears, I’m sure this will create a sickening confusion. Moreover, Sony cannot even mention S.H.I.E.L.D, remember when Deadpool also can’t mention S.H.I.E.L.D in the movie?
S.H.I.E.L.D is also had experienced with symbiote attached to Eddie Brock’s body as its host to survive on earth, who then called themselves Venom.
Venom’s History
Initially, symbiote hosted on Spiderman’s body before but then separates itself.The Symbiote first appeared in Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars #8 (May 1984), in which writer Jim Shooter and artist Mike Zeck depicted the heroes and villains of the Marvel Universe transported to another planet called Battleworld by a being called the Beyonder.
After Spider-Man’s costume is torn up in a battle, he is introduced by Thor and the Hulk to an advanced machine that can instantly create a new Spiderman costume just by thinking about it.
As the result, a black sphere to appear before him, which spreads over his body, dissolving the tattered old costume and covering his body to form a new black and white costume. To Spider-Man’s surprise, the costume can mimic street clothes and provides a seemingly inexhaustible and also increases his ability.
Actually, this story is described in a friendlier fashion in Spider-man 3, the movie. So it’s a good idea to watch the movie once again to refresh the memory. At least this Venom most probably comes from the same history as the one we watched on Spider-Man 3.
Even though some of the people still think that cartoon is just for kids, deep down, we also know that most cartoon or animation has other intention than just merely entertain us. And I realized that after watching most Pixar animations. Both the full lengths movies and the short clips. Most of Pixar animation send us good moral of the story in beautiful packages. Now, let’s see what Pixar animation taught us:
Up
This is the top of my list. The story about friendship and persistence of Mr. Fredrickson and Russel. Both have the similar character, very persistent. Mr. Fredrickson dreams of taking his home up to the top of the waterfalls. While Russel’s a lot simpler, getting his boy scout badge. Both persistent later become handful when they finally meet the same goal, rescuing Kevin, an endangered species from Charles Muntz with the aid of Dug.
Lighting McQueen found himself stranded in a place where his idol secludes himself from the racing business. The arrogant McQueen must learn to be humble and prioritize his friendship with Matter rather than the glitter of fame. And he learned that the hard way under the guidance of his idol.
This is the story about a cloud who had a hard relationship with a baby delivery stork. In this short clip, the clouds mend his relationship with the hoodoo stork by compromising and his acceptance the condition of their best friend. And even more, foreknow himself with their current condition. On the other hand, the stork also shows us about dedication to his job. Hmm … this seems important even for the grown-ups.
Just like comics and novels, the world of video games is also hitting the cinema for decades. Let’s say, Mario Bros and other Japanese games we never heard of. Sometimes it’s hard to tell which comes first? Let’s say Hokutonoken a.k.a The Fist of The North Star, I played that game long before I read the comic, yet my friend told me that the anime came first. And that’s not the only game that’s successfully adapted to the big screen (well, the big screen version actually sucked big time). Here is the list of cool games that made it to the cinema, in random order:
Cool Games That Made it To The Cinema Section: A
Hitman
An assassin teams up with a woman to help her find her father and uncover the mysteries of her ancestry.
Picking up immediately after the events of Resident Evil: Retribution, Alice (Milla Jovovich) is the only survivor of what was meant to be humanity’s final stand against the undead. Now, she must return to where the nightmare began – The Hive in Raccoon City, where the Umbrella Corporation is gathering its forces for a final strike against the only remaining survivors of the apocalypse.
These movie sequels are fun to watch without the need of overthinking it. Unlike the horror atmosphere found in the game, Resident Evil series feels more like an action-packed movie of human vs zombie. The zombies were so well designed and cool, especially the inhuman ones.
Set 15 years in the future in post-earthquake California, where San Diego and Los Angeles are merged into one city, two teenage brothers have half of a powerful ancient Chinese talisman.

The most successful and most loved fighting video game of all time, Street Fighter’, is finally being given the epic, and faithful treatment it deserves. Street Fighter: Assassins Fist takes us back to the formative years of the iconic characters, Ryu and Ken, as they live a traditional warriors life in the secluded, mountain wilderness of Japan.
Training under their master, Goken, the boys are the last practitioners of the ancient fighting style known as Ansatsuken (Assassin’s Fist).

As Ryu and Ken learn about the mysterious past of their Master Goken and the tragic and dark legacy of the Ansatsuken style will the two best friends become bitter rivals as their training intensifies and reaches a climax?
This is not the first Street Fighter adaption to the big screen But for me, Assasin’s Fist is the only one close to the game. But I’m not sure it’s distributed to the big screen or not.
Lara Croft, the fiercely independent daughter of a missing adventurer, must push herself beyond her limits when she finds herself on the island where her father disappeared.
