Batman, Red Hulk and ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ Sequel!
There was a superhero explosion yesterday, and until we can get a full time editor (anyone interested, hit up Jon Barkan), I’m going to round out some of the major developments.
First, a major spoiler warning, for those who don’t want to know anything going forward.
Now, let’s begin with Batman.
Heroic Hollywood has the scoop on the Caped Crusader’s appearance in Suicide Squad.
Explains the site, Batman will break into Amanda Waller’s security prison, and is “already inside her office waiting in the shadows.”
“You see, Batman is totally against the concept behind the Suicide Squad, in fact he warns Waller that he will hold her personally responsible for any innocents The Joker & the rest of the Suicide Squad kill. A warning so stern that he has to visit Waller personally to deliver the message.”
The site also teases a Bruce Wayne scene that they’re currently investigating. They may need to call Batman in to help.
In other news, Bleeding Cool is developing theory that a new Hulk may be making an appearance in Civil War.
Could we finally see the Red Hulk on screen?! Explains the site:
Since Avengers: Age Of Ultron ended with Bruce Banner flying off to be alone… it would take something might powerful to pull him back. And the rumor says that what gets him to return is the Red Hulk. Now in the comics, the Red Hulk is General Thunderbolt Ross… and it just so happens that William Hurt will be reprising his role as Ross in the film. And there is supposed to be a fight between the two Hulks to rival the fight between Hulk and Hulkbuster Iron Man.
Via Wiki: General Thaddeus E. “Thunderbolt” Ross (alias Red Hulk) is a fictional supervillain and anti-hero and one of the arch-enemies of the Hulk, who appears in comic books published by Marvel Comics. Ross is a United States military officer, the father of Betty Ross, ex-father in-law of Glenn Talbot, father in-law of Dr. Bruce Banner, and was head of the Gamma Bomb Project that turned Banner into the Hulk. After the creation of the Hulk, Ross pursues the creature with a growing obsession, and after learning that Banner and the Hulk are one and the same, Ross hunts Banner as well. In 2008, Ross was transformed into the Red Hulk in order to better combat his nemesis.
Lastly, James Gunn has revealed he’s completed his first pass at the sequel to Guardians of the Galaxy, which means we’re well on the way to seeing Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, Bradley Cooper and Groot return to theaters on May 5, 2017!

‘Curse of the Where Wolf’ Bites Into August Release With Trio of Werewolf Theatrical Screenings [Exclusive Preview]
Larry Chaney‘s hairy misadventures are continuing in the sequel graphic novel Curse of the Where Wolf from creative team Rob Saucedo, Debora Lancianese, and Jack Morelli, and its author is celebrating with a trio of horror’s greatest werewolf films.
The Curse of the Where Wolf hits shelves on August 7 from Encyclopocalypse Publications.
That coincides with the launch of a theatrical screening event in Houston, Texas, featuring a trio of seminal werewolf flicks turning 45 this year: The Howling on August 7, Wolfen on August 14, and An American Werewolf in London on August 21.
Each screening features a “werewolf in film” presentation as well as a book signing from Where Wolf author and River Oaks Theatre artistic director Rob Saucedo.
In the new graphic novel, “Being a werewolf sucks. Reporter Larry Chaney wanted to be a hero. Instead, he became a werewolf. Now, caught between incredible new powers and a desire to eat everything (and everyone) in sight, Larry must find a cure for his curse. Or die trying.”
“With Where Wolf, I wanted to tell a whodunit set in a furry convention, so the story was pretty contained within a very specific setting and genre. With Curse of the Where Wolf, I wanted to celebrate everything I love about the possibility of comic books. Curse of the Where Wolf is a funny book, in every sense of the phrase, but it’s also an earnest look at a person’s struggle to become a better version of themselves, especially when the alternative is to become a literal monster,” Saucedo says of Curse.
The original graphic novel was previously serialized as the first webcomic hosted on Fangoria before being collected by Encyclopocalypse Publications in 2023 and has already been optioned for film, podcast, and television development ahead of launch by producers James Fino (“The Freak Brothers” for Tubi, “Rick and Morty” for Adult Swim) and Charles Horak (First Date for Magnolia Pictures).
Expect Larry to find himself in even weirder situations in the 362-page full color sequel; Saucedo has provided Bloody Disgusting with exclusive art pages from the upcoming graphic novel that showcase lupine humor.
