[Updated] Here’s The Official ‘Batman V. Superman’ Trailer

Published

on

After yesterday’s leak Warner Brothers has dropped the official trailer to Batman V. Superman: Dawn of Justice onto youtube. It’s still incredibly dark, a little grainy, and somehow doesn’t look very good.

Original Story follows:

The Batman V. Superman trailer has leaked online. A day ago Zack Snyder released teaser footage online for the forthcoming brawler that really didn’t show much if anything. It was an extended take of the suits worn by each hero, effectively creating a teaser for the teaser. Footage for this superhero sequel is extremely anticipated so this leak is huge.

We now have some idea of the story behind the film. The world fears Superman after Man of Steel. The fearful voiceover of the trailer seems to imply that the entire world has caught a fever for the demolition of Superman. There are some words from Jeremy Irons that imply a good man has gone evil. Is this Superman? Is he being corrupted by Luthor? That’s where my money is at. There really isn’t much of Batman or Superman in this teaser. And, the strange thing is, if you attended SDCC last year, or managed to get a peek at the bootleg footage. That made it into this teaser. And, it’s really the only action piece in the whole thing. But! Now it’s accompanied by the Ben Affleck bat growl saying “Tell me, do you bleed?” “…You will,” which should give chills on anyone’s spine.

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice comes to theaters March 25th, 2016 and stars Henry Cavill, Ben Affleck, Amy Adams, Diane Lane, Laurence Fishburne, Gal Gadot, Jesse Eisenberg, Jeremy Irons. The film is directed by Zack Snyder.

My two cents: This film still has a lot to prove. A LOT. This trailer doesn’t really do much to quell the fears that Snyder isn’t capable of a superhero movie with any substance. There is a ton of style on display, from the dark tones to the foreboding narration. But there is really nothing of effect that gives me chills, or excites me just yet. Perhaps that will go away when I’m not watching it through someone’s out of focus cameraphone, but I doubt it.

‘The Wicked Trinity’ – Preview New Archie Comics One-Shot Inspired by ‘The Craft’ [Exclusive]

Published

on

From Sabrina’s Magical World, Bloody Disgusting has learned this afternoon that Archie Comics will be releasing brand new one-shot comic The Wicked Trinity this coming June.

You’ll be able to meet The Wicked Trinity in the 32-page comic on June 12, 2024.

In The Wicked Trinity, “Sabrina’s magical nemesis Amber Nightstone and her sidekicks, Jade Kazane and Sapphire Gill, are intent on becoming the most powerful witches in the world. Isolated from so many around them, the three have formed a coven based on their individual needs for vengeance and true freedom.

“But when there is some dissent among the ranks, their small coven is threatened to be obliterated from within.”

The Wicked Trinity features a script by Sam Maggs, art by Lisa Sterle, colors by Ellie Wright, letters by Jack Morelli, main cover by Lisa Sterle, and variant cover by Soo Lee.

Archie Comics Senior Director of Editorial Jamie L. Rotante tells Bloody Disgusting, “When Editor-In-Chief Mike Pellerito came up with the idea of the Wicked Trinity—Amber Nightstone, Jade Kazane, and Sapphire Gill—I was immediately intrigued. I even had the good fortune to work on the script for Jade and Sapphire’s first appearance in last year’s SABRINA ANNUAL SPECTACULAR comic for younger readers. What I especially loved about these magical teens is that they could seamlessly transcend from classic-Archie stories into more mature, even horror stories. I was eager to start developing their world with a modern sensibility, taking cues from the great work of Kelly Thompson and Veronica Fish on our SABRINA THE TEENAGE WITCH series, and Sarah Kuhn and Carola Borelli on our recent DARKLING one-shot. Inspired by series like Charmed and films like The Craft, I knew there was so much potential to build up this coven in a story that beautifully blends magical fantasy with horror.”

Writer Sam Maggs previews, “Real witches writing real witches—that’s how we do things over at Archie Comics! I was named after a famous witch—Samantha from Bewitched—and so I grew up absolutely obsessed with everything witchcraft, devouring every book series I could about teen witches. That makes WICKED TRINITY a dream project for me. The power and energy of teen girls is absolutely unmatched (just look at the engine behind fandom culture) and being able to harness that metaphorically for a story like this is such a delight. Everything I write focuses on the power of female friendship, and this story is no exception. And what’s better than a morally grey female character? I struggle to think of anything. Cat familiars, maybe? Also, I’m totally a practicing witch now. So maybe if you read this, you’ll find yourself imbued with magical powers, too.*

Artist Lisa Sterle adds, “I can’t wait for people to be re-introduced to The Wicked Trinity! Witches, fashion, and Archie Comics; this is truly a magical trifecta and I’m so happy to have the opportunity to put my own personal stamp on this. I love to create stories in which girls find their own power, both from within themselves and through their friendships and coven. If you’re a fan of my Modern Witch tarot, you’ll find this comic just as magical.”
