X-Men Days of Future Past DVD Release Date Set



X-Men: Days of Future Past is arguably the greatest X-Men movie to date. Not only did it reach critical acclaim but it also was the most financially successful X-Men yet. With a sequel already underway titled X-Men: Apocalypse it's hard to see the series slowing down any time soon. In case you haven't seen the movie for whatever reason you can officially own or rent the movie on Blu-ray and DVD on October 14th. An extended cut which will include several deleted scenes such as the rumored Rogue scene will be coming out later next year. The film stars Hugh Jackman, James McAvoy, Michael Fassbenner, Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen.

Batman V. Superman: Dawn of Justice Batmobile Revealed!

(The first official photo of Ben Affleck as Batman)
          A few months back director Zack Snyder gave us a glimpse at not only the first image of Ben Affleck as Batman but also the Batmobile in the background. With shooting underway, it was only a matter of time before the vehicle
was spotted on set.  
Thanks to Instagram user 
amacro13 and AICN we are able to get our a birds-eye view of the vehicle. The vehicle appears to open up from the top and has a mix between the Nolan and Burton Batmobile's. As of right now it looks dirty and possibly dusty. Whether this will be the final look after post-production is complete is yet to be seen. What are your thoughts on the new Batmobile?


UPDATE:

Zack Snyder took to Twitter to quiet down the leaked set photos by releasing the first official image of the Batmobile.

Introduction

           
           Movies are America's past time. It is the only thing that combines every type of art into one great ensemble. Art design, composing, filming, writing, costume design, cinematography are all apart of a movie that takes about a year to complete. In the past few years the highest grossing movies have all fallen under the same category. This category is comic book movies. I will be diving into upcoming comic book movies and the news associated with them. Additionally, I will review movies that comes on DVD and Blu Ray and will compile lists of some of the best comic book movies already released. As an avid comic book reader it is amazing to see the characters that I grew up with coming alive on the big screen. I hope to spread that feeling to others who are interested in these characters that have had an impact on their life!
