There is this wild rumor gaining steam on the internet about the forthcoming “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” being split into two parts. The rumor sprung up yesterday when this image hit imgur, and was picked up by Aint It Cool News

While this is a wild rumor and should be taken with a grain of salt, you can see there clearly: Part I: Enter The Knight according to this image would hit in October of this year. With part two hitting on the release date we already knew about. Now, whether or not this is true we should consider some things.

WB is no stranger to separating films. Look at The Hobbit or Harry Potter both of these franchises have been chopped apart. The schedule is feasible since they could conceivably finish the VFX work and shoot the material needed to complete this first half. From what we know about this movie, production is been underway for some time and the cast continues to grow with each week.

We’re expected to get the first teaser for the film when WB’s Jupiter Ascending hits in February, and wouldn’t be a surprise to see PART I: ENTER THE KNIGHT: OCTOBER 23, 2015 at the end. It would be a surefire way for WB to enter the Superhero movie ring fighting in a year where they have nothing and Marvel is launching their second Avengers film.

Doesn’t look like there is much of chance of this happening, but it’s a fantastic idea. What do you guys think?

‘Witchblade’ is Getting Resurrected This Summer in New Comic Series from Top Cow and Image Comics

Witchblade, the popular comic series that initially ran from 1995 to 2015 and launched a TV series, is getting resurrected in a new comic series from Top Cow and Image Comics. It’s set to unleash heavy metal, black magic and blood this summer.

Look for the new Witchblade series to launch on July 17, 2024.

In Witchblade #1, “New York City Police Detective Sara Pezzini’s life was forever fractured by her father’s murder. Cold, cunning, and hellbent on revenge, Sara now stalks a vicious criminal cabal beneath the city, where an ancient power collides and transforms her into something wild, magnificent, and beyond her darkest imaginings. How will Sara use this ancient power, or will she be consumed by it?”

The series is penned by NYT Best-Selling writer Marguerite Bennett (Animosity, Batwoman, DC Bombshells) and visualized by artist Giuseppe Cafaro (Suicide Squad, Power Rangers, Red Sonja). The creative duo is working with original co-creator Marc Silvestri, who is the CEO of Top Cow Productions Inc. and one of the founders of Image Comics. They are set to reintroduce the series to Witchblade’s enduring fans with “a reimagined origin with contemporary takes on familiar characters and new story arcs that will hook new readers and rekindle the energy and excitement that fueled the 90’s Image Revolution that shaped generations of top creators.”

Bennett said in a statement, “The ability to tell a ferocious story full of monsters, sexuality, vision, and history was irresistible.” She adds, “Our saga is sleek, vicious, ferocious, and has a lot to say about power in the 21st century and will be the first time that we are stopping the roller coaster to let more people on. I’ve loved Witchblade since I was a child, and there is truly no other heroine like Sara with such an iconic legacy and such a rich, brutal relationship to her own body.”

“The Witchblade universe is being modernized to reflect how Marguerite beautifully explores the extreme sides of Sara through memories, her personal thoughts, like desire and hunger, in her solitude and when she is possessed by the Witchblade. So, I had to visually intersect a noir True Detective-like world with a supernatural, horror world that is a fantastic mix between Berserk and Zodiac,” Cafaro stated.

Marc Silvestri notes, “This is brand new mythology around Sara, and I can’t wait for you to fall in love with her and all the twists and turns. Discover Witchblade reimagined this summer, and join us as we bring all the fun of the 90s to the modern age and see how exciting comics can be. I can’t wait for you to read this new series.”
