Whose trying to kill Batman in Arkham Origins pt. 1

Batman Arkham Origins has left Black Mask with the incentive to kill Batman of course, hiring the assassins Deathstroke and Deadshot to kill him for money and glory that's already two confirmed who want the head of the Batman. Here I'll name other characters who could possibly appear in the game as the rest of the assassins who want the big payout for our Dark Knight:



Name: David Cain
Skills: Assassin skilled in many forms of armed and unarmed combat, peak physical condition, Master spy and Master Martial Artists.
Why: Being a top assassin it'd be no surprise as to why Black Mask would find and hire him to kill Batman, not only did he train a young Bruce Wayne, framed him for murder and can give him a run for his money let me say if he's in this game out to kill me as Batman gamers need to be prepared because he is no cake walk as a boss. Also he has a bad relationship with the other two assassins Deadshot and Deathstroke.


Name: Lady Shiva aka Sandra Wu-San
Skills: Not only is she one of the most skilled martial artists in the whole DC Universe she shares her title with other great fighters such as Batman, Black Canary, and Richard Dragon among few others. She's mastered fighting styles such as Leopard and Dragon Style Kung Fu, Stick Fighting, Judo, Capoeira, Karate, Kokusho and Savate. Mix that with her Tatical Skills and total control of her emotions and blood flow and you've got another serious contender.
Why: "Her hobby is hunting down the best fighters in the world and beating them to death with her bare hands" said by Barbara Gordon you'd think that would be enough but there is always more, Shiva sells her services of assassination for the money and the challenge it brought her so why not give her the challenge of Batman as well as the other assassins after him?

Plus let's not forget who David Cain and Sandra are the parent's of.... Possible forshadowing to Cassandra Cain aka Batgirl in a future Arkham Title!?




Name: Jade Nguyen aka Cheshire 
Skills: Being a skilled and deadly assassin she's got the skills of an acrobat and skilled martial artist, also being a poison specialist can help with her caliber of killing her targets.
Why: Black Mask is going to need diversity with his assassins each to be different from the last offering all kinds of skills Batman will have to think twice about as well as something he isn't ready for, and being poisoned by her blades or nails even isn't something Batman would be ready for.




Name: Arthur King aka Merlyn 
Skills: Being one of the best archers in the world is not an easy thing to have on your resume as a villain and of course being an archer goes back to the diversity I mentioned earlier and whats more diverse than bows and arrows in a city of guns and bullets. He's a Green Arrow villain MrDarkPhoenix how can he fit in the game? Being an assassin Black Mask can hire one but here's a more important reason:

Superior Spider-Man gets a costume change come August


For those of you reading up on Superior Spider-Man Otto Octavious has taken the mantle and it might have taken August's 15th issue but he'll be returning to his roots with his new found body and Spider-Man costume. Otto will don a darker toned costume, sharper and longer talons, mirrored lenses, prehensile arms similar to the Iron-Spider and his Dr. Octopus costume. Reminiscent of Ben Reily's older costume and an unused concept of Alex Ross for the Sam Raimi 2002 Spider-Man film. 

The new costume is being introduced during new story arc "Run, Goblin, Run!!" it takes Superior Spidey vs Hobgoblin during Otto's battle with Kingpin and the Shadowland forces. 



Is Spidey-Ock going to be a bad boy and go to far again? Stay tuned and stalk your local Midtown Comics and or local comic book stores this August.

Robert Downey Jr./ Iron Man involvement in Avengers 2


For the fans going insane and wondering how Marvel could do what they did to us with Iron Man 3 I'm hoping this article will be a breath of extremis air. Joss Whedon when asked about the "challenge" of including Iron Man in the next Avengers movie had this to say:

“Well, I feel like in Iron Man 3, even though he said, ‘ I've changed' -- he blew up his remote suits, but I don’t think anybody thinks he doesn't have one anymore. The question is, if The Avengers are called, does he show up? And the answer is, ‘Yes!’”
You heard it here.. well read it Iron Man is answering the call for the Avengers 2 and we can rest assured from Whedon himself that we can breathe easier!

Nicholas Cage doesn't see another comic book movie in his future


Well I'm not going to write here and tell you that Ghost Rider was the best choice for Nick Cage, but what is going to be said is that he shouldn't give up on the genre as a whole. Nicolas Cage is a great actor he just gets attached to roles that don't fit him and with the money they possibly offer would you say no to free money?

Let's not forget his redeemed factor as Big Daddy in Kick-Ass and with hopeful training flashback cameo's in both Kick-Ass 2 and Kick-Ass 3 movies we can still have hope to see him in a great super hero persona, but then that leaves what other roles he can play? He was slated to play Doctor Strange back when they first had the idea in the 90's but was canned and as you can tell by my casting for Doctor Strange other characters hero or villain fit the role for Nick Cage's talent:

DC Comics:
Catman (He has the most fun with anti batman characters)

Spider-Man 2099 making a comeback!


Anyone remember Miguel O' Hara aka Spider-Man 2099? Well in case you need some reminding he'll be making a comeback in Superior Spider-Man #17 due out in September! A big threat (Surprising) is coming and it's going to take two wall crawling Spider-Men to take it down.

But don't think this is a one shot guest appearance Miguel will be around even after the threat is finished so let's wait to see the build up until Spider-Man 2099 makes his re-debut in September.

The Walking Dead Season 4 regulars confirmed


With the agonizing 6+ month wait for the Walking Dead to come back I've been appointed to give you guys some helpful news regarding the show to at least get you hyped up for this news. The following characters have been promoted to series regulars and we'll be seeing more of them once season 4 rolls around:


  • Phil Blake since it's not fair to call him the Governor (Obviously) 
  • Chad L. Coleman as Tyrese
  • Sonequa Martin-Green as Sasha 
  • Hershel's youngest daughter who has been around for most of the series and was pretty convinced she was a regular since way back when.
With this confirmation fans can rest easy that Tyrese is going to possibly have more screen time and have great character development and prove he is the bad ass we comic fans know he is.

Guardians of the Galaxy getting a visit from the Nova Corps?!


Guardians of the Galaxy might just prove the universe is big enough for more than one galaxy defending team, in the latest for Marvel's space movie Guardians of the Galaxy the Nova Corps could be making an appearance which honestly scares me and excites me at the same time.

With Thanos coming I'll always say this and stay on the subject of us as earth needing all the help we can help and if that means we pull out all the stops to save our galaxy then bring on the Nova Corp! Although I'm pretty sure that myself and other fans are hoping the man under the helmet is Richard Ryder! His banter with Star-Lord would be a priceless experience and no movie goer should be robbed of that.

Deadpool: The Game gets two special guests


Deadpool threatened me as I wrote an article on Gamersbliss.com and he's somehow found a way around my nude magazine and beer maze here we go on my blog to give Deadpool twice as much fan support and *gun cocks behind my head* Two new characters have been added to the game Mr. Sinister and Psylocke are to appear as characters in Game of the Year title Deadpool: The video game.

Mr.Sinister:

Psylocke:

Glad  to see Psylocke Scared to see Mr. Sinister Deadpool has added this note for you guys also regarding the new character inclusions:


Sooo, uhhhh, APPARENTLY there are characters in my new upcoming Activision game, DEADPOOL, who are not Deadpool! Right?? 
I thought it was pretty clear when I said I wanted a true Deadpool game that it would star Deadpool…in every role! My star power shouldn’t be limited to the central protagonist. I should be playing the hero, the anti-hero, the villain who eventually changes sides to join forces against the TRUE villain (me), the romantic interest, the quirky best friend, the comic relief, and at least 8 other characters in fat suits! Is that too much to ask?! 
But… I’ve been talking to my therapist… and she says it’s important that I not allow the existence of other people who are not me to determine my own self-worth. I just have to be the best unhinged mutant mercenary I can be. So, here’s a look at some of the… other… characters you can meet in DEADPOOL…
I'm looking forward to the character inclusions and hoping so hard that Psylocke is a playable character she is too awesome to leave out just as someone who has great asssssss.... to Deadpool.

Bishop and Warpath join the Days of Future Cast


You read that title correctly our time traveling energy blast absorbing mutant and our X-Force member have been included in the X-Men: Days of Future Past cast.


Actors Omar Sy (Bishop) and BooBoo Stewart (Warpath) will portray the said characters, we all know Bishop fits due to his inclusion in the 90's cartoon and how time travel is pretty much in his mutant contract.

Warpath however is prominently on X-Force so it's going to be interesting to see how his portrayal can help his chances of coming to the movie-verse and possibly have more in store for him.

Anyone reading this I can already tell what your next question is... Where is Cable?

Captain America: The Winter Solider Costume Revealed


A leaked image of a new Captain America suit for the sequel Captain America: The Winter Solider may have hit and this new costume based on his short run change in costume changes for Cap since Marvel might want to keep the costumes different for our beloved heroes, I mean Tony Stark is always changing armor and Amazing Spider-Man 2 is getting a costume change also so why not Chris Evans as Captain America?

Kevin Conroy not voicing Batman in Arkham Origins


Veteran voice actor and the voice of the Dark Knight Kevin Conroy could not be returning to Batman: Arkham Origins, as fans are angry and hurt towards this I've got to say it makes perfect sense. Think about it Kevin Conroy is a master Batman he is the Batman... Batman doesn't make mistakes and neither does Kevin Conroy (considering he's Batman and all) A Batman just starting out doesn't fit the resume of awesome that Kevin has built for himself and he needs to be ready for the Arkham sequel!

Although this hasn't been confirmed by Kevin or Warner Bros. it should make a different turn in the voice department for now especially since the rumor is the studio has hired a new no name voice actor to play Batman. Only time can tell but here are some great Batman voice performances that would be good to give a second shot to.

Rino Romano (The Batman)
Bruce Greenwood (Batman Under the Red Hood)
