First Look: Stephen Amell as Green Arrow for CW's "Arrow"



Tvline.com has released the very first "first look" image of actor Stephen Amell as Oliver Queen/ Green Arrow for the new upcoming superhero TV series by The CW called "Arrow".
Considering it's based on the DC Comics' emerald archer, it does have an odd title. Nevertheless, it's going to be a "darker and hard-edged show", as executive producer David Nutter points out.

Also released is the official synopsis for the new TV series, which goes like this:

"After being marooned for five years on a remote island, former billionaire playboy Oliver Queen returns with a mysterious agenda and a lethal set of new skills that he uses in a war on crime."


While it has no relation to the other Warner Bros. and CW TV series Smallville, Arrow will follow the same path of retelling Green Arrow's origins and adventures in his early years. For more info, visit the source posts at tvline.com, Comic Book Movie, and Io9

Street Fighter X Tekken fan films pay tribute to awesome!



Having been out for almost a week and enjoyed by fighting game buffs worldwide, Street Fighter X Tekken is nothing short of awesome. Yes, it weighs more on the Street Fighter IV side in terms of gameplay since it's a Capcom developed game, but we'll be getting Namco Bandai's version of the crossover eventually. Right now, the game is doing wonders by delivering some serious competition and fun for brawlers, and I'm enjoying every minute of it. Suffice to say, there are creative peeps out there who have been inspired to create fan films as tribute for this dream match pairing between two franchises. Here's a couple that I found that are too great to describe and absolute need to be viewed!



STREET FIGHTER (SFxTK) Vega VS Jun

Directed by Mike Diva, this awesome fan video shows a fight to the death between Tekken's Jun Kazama and Street Fighter's Vega! It's quite literally one of the best fighting game inspired fan videos I've seen to date, and the music by Diva's brother DAT BEAT hits the mark nicely!

Street Fighter x Tekken: The Devil Within - Short Film

Another instant classic fan video by a team that has composed some of the best fight choreographed fan videos out there, Thousand Pounds delivers their own take of the Street Fighter X Tekken saga by pitting Ryu against Kazuya! The Satsui No Hadou faces off The Devil Gene, in this 9 minute plus short film that's aptly titled "The Devil Within"!

The Avengers: New Japan trailer shows new footage!


With just a month to go before the release of one of the biggest superhero team up movies ever, Marvel Studios and Walt Disney Pictures have released a new Japanese trailer featuring new clips and reveals for The Avengers! Consider this a SPOILER warning, as there will be stuff you'd like to keep away from looking! If you have no inhibitions, click at the jump to see more of Earth's Mightiest Heroes!
