Dick Grayson evolves into something else in new "Grayson" comic series

Consider this a post-FOREVER EVIL spoiler of comic book universe altering proportions... So if you haven't been up to date with the latest happenings in DC Comics' New 52 universe, you have been properly warned.

That being said, the cat has been let out of the bag courtesy of USA Today... BIG CHANGES are happening for Richard "Dick" Grayson, and he's getting the "Secret Agent" treatment in the upcoming "Grayson" comic book series, to be done by the creative team of Tim Seeley of Revival fame and former CIA operative Tom King.

Better known by his persona as "Nightwing", Dick Grayson was the very first Robin and sidekick to Batman, before stepping out of his mentor's shadow and becoming his own man. However, he still maintained ties with the Bat-Family, and even took over as The Dark Knight for a time following Bruce Wayne's supposed death. Now it seems that Dick has to adopt a new role following the result of his identity being exposed in Forever Evil by the Crime Syndicate... And whatever happens as a result of the end of that main event storyline by DC Comics. Only time will tell for certain what follows afterwards. For more on the story, visit the source post at USA Today.

"Nightwing" ends with issue #30 when it hits on May 28, with "Grayson" to follow soon afterwards.

Arrow: Ferris Air teaser poster posted

With five episodes left for the second season to wrap up, the producers and showrunners behind the smash-hit superhero TV Series "Arrow" have decided to tease things up that may possibly appear further down the line... And it's a reference to a certain "Emerald Warrior" of the DC Universe that may follow in the footsteps of The Scarlet Speedster who made his debut in the show as well.

The teaser, courtesy of Marc Guggenheim's official Twitter page, is all about "Ferris Air", the airline owned by the family of Carol Ferris, aka Star Sapphire and the love interest of the one and only Hal Jordan, aka Green Lantern! Ferris Air of course is based in Coast City, and one has to wonder of Stephen Amell's Oliver Queen and his crew of "Team Arrow" will visit the place...

Arrow is currently airing in The CW every Wednesdays.

The Amazing Spider-Man 2: Thoughts on the 30-Minute Preview, Comic Book & IMAX Poster, & Final International Trailer online

Not pulling the stops in the promotional campaign before its release, Sony Pictures and Marvel have released a couple of new posters and a FINAL international trailer to Marc Webb's upcoming Spider-Man film sequel, The Amazing Spider-Man 2! It's literally just a few weeks left until the release of the film, and after seeing the 30-Minute Preview c/o Columbia Picture Philippines, I cannot stress how exciting and intense this sequel is going to be!

The "30 Minute Preview" was a three act sequence that began with a prologue showing what truly happened to Peter Parker's parents, Richard and Mary Parker, just after leaving their boy with Uncle Ben and Aunt May. Act Two then focuses on Spidey saving the day and fighting the man who would be Rhino, while barely trying to catch up with his own graduation! Then Peter tries to rekindle time with his love interest Gwen Stacy, only to have Electro make an entrance at Times Square. Finally, the preview ends with Harry Osborn teaming up with the electric powered villain himself, and Spidey in for a world of hurt with teases on what's to come for the sequel! These all illustrate what kind of sequel we're dealing with here, and it also proves 3D may be the best way to view and experience this superhero movie altogether! There's plenty of action, wise-cracking, and the kinds of dynamic and story that make this possibly THE Spider-Man movie we have been waiting for!

Right above and as seen in Superherohype is a stellar "comic book poster" that pays homage to the actual cover seen in "The Amazing Spider-Man #121", which in itself is a SPOILER for those who don't know their Spidey history well!

And here's a pretty daring IMAX poster by artist Matt Taylor, as seen in Comic Book.com

And finally, here's what may be the FINAL international trailer promoting the film!

Captain America 3 confirmed for May 6, 2016

After speculation and rumors persisted that the mystery Marvel film going toe-to-toe with "Batman Vs Superman" in 2016 was the follow-up to this year's Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Marvel Studios and Disney have indeed confirmed that the next Star-Spangled outing of Chris Evans would indeed hit that very year, on May 6. Once again to be helmed by Anthony and Joe Russo, the third Cap film has no description or title to it yet, but it's likely that the popularity and big earnings of Cap 2 have played a key part in the release date's confirmation, with the film earning $96.2 Million on its opening weekend!

Cap is set to return next year however with his fellow heroes like Iron Man and Thor with Marvel's The Avengers: Age of Ultron, which is currently filming. In fact, photo leaks of the Super Soldier's new uniform have gone online, and here's a look at it via fangroup Marvel Cinematic Universe's Facebook page. 

Captain America returns on Avengers: Age of Ultron on May 1, 2016, while Captain America 3 is scheduled to hit on May 6, 2016.

Have you seen Captain America: The Winter Soldier yet? If you haven't, you DEFINITELY SHOULD, as it's the real "Game Changer" that puts "Phase 2" on the peddle and on the road to "Avengers: Age of Ultron" next year.

Before that however, the events of Cap 2 will have severe consequences for Agent Phil Coulson and the rest of his team and organization in "Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.", and one has to wonder what will be the fallout given the events that have transpired in The Winter Soldier.

Scarlett Johansson explodes with power and skill in the first trailer for "Lucy"

What would you get if you had a movie from the guy who directed Nikita, The Professional, and The Fifth Element and wrote/ produced the Transporter and Taken films, and put Scarlett Johansson in the lead and Morgan Freeman thrown in for good measure as well?

Simple... You get LUCY.

And suddenly gains powers and skills beyond our comprehension after the cargo is accidentally ingested into her system. You can think it's like "The Matrix" meets "Wanted" and "Taken", but with the beautiful actress who plays Natascha Romanoff/ Black Widow in the Marvel Cinematic Universe... And Lucius Fox/ God added in the form of Morgan Freeman.

The Walking Dead: Season 4 wraps up; "Survive" Poster released

If you've caught the Season 4 finale of AMC's "The Walking Dead" last Sunday, then you very well know that things are far from over for Rick Grimes and the other survivors, and the long wait to Season 5 has officially begun. To commemorate that countdown and tease things further to come, the official Walking Dead Facebook page has released a brand new poster, featuring Rick in a solemn contemplative moment and the word "Survive" sketched right in the middle of the one sheet.

The final and 16th episode of Season 4, entitled "A", was pretty much a Game Changer as well for the former Sheriff's Deputy, and if you've seen it then you know that Rick is not somebody to be trifled with... Whether it be Zombies or Enemies, PERIOD. Now that things have more or less scaled up with the Terminus plot, it'll be quite the anticipation and wait for the next season.

The Walking Dead returns with Season 5 this coming October.
