HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MR. J! THANKS FOR THE FIRST LOOK!

The Joker turns 75, and we are given the first official look at Jared Leto's character in the upcoming "Suicide Squad".

It would seem he has taken a unique approach, almost similar to Heath Ledger's "The Dark Knight" version of The Joker, but completely different at the same time. Jared Leto's clown prince of crime appears to have some edge to him. At least visually. He's tattooed, and even has a shiny grill. Which actually make sense given how many time Batman has punched his teeth out. And hopefully there is a Batman logo somewhere on his pale white frame. Now to see where Leto takes Mr. J in "Suicide Squad" performance wise.

SPIDER-MAN SWINGING INTO DISNEY

It's official. The rumors can end. Spider-Man will be appearing in the Marvel Studios "movieverse". What is huge about this, for those unaware of licensing and all that, Sony Pictures will still own the rights to Spider-Man while he will be appearing in Marvel's films. Also, there will be Marvel Studios owned characters appearing in Sony's Spider-Man films.

“Spider-Man is one of Marvel’s great characters, beloved around the world.  We’re thrilled to work with Sony Pictures to bring the iconic web-slinger into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which opens up fantastic new opportunities for storytelling and franchise building.”-Bob Iger, CEO and Chairman  of The Walt Disney Company.

"Marvel’s involvement will hopefully deliver the creative continuity and authenticity that fans demand from the MCU. I am equally excited for the opportunity to have Spider-Man appear in the MCU, something which both we at Marvel, and fans alike, have been looking forward to for years.”-Keven Feige, President of Marvel Studios.

It will be interesting how this will all play out, with there being two companies involved like this. It is not that anyone would be worried that Spider-Man (and other characters) would be misused per say, it is the creative direction that could slow things down here. Other questions arise of course, as to who will play Spider-Man in Marvel's movieverse? Will it be someone new, or Sony's current Spidey, Andrew Garfield? Which of the Marvel Studios owned characters will appear in a Sony fillm? And of course, will we see something similar with FOX and the X-Men franchise? Like everything, we'll have to wait and see.

WONDER WOMAN WEIGHS IN ON WONDER WOMAN

Former Wonder Woman star Lynda Carter recently did an interview with The Huffington Post and weighed in with her thoughts on the iconic character returning to the spotlight with Gal Gadot and the Man Of Steel (2013) follow-up. Lynda may not be the official "first" live action Wonder Woman (Cathy Lee Crosby has that honor), but she is defined the most recognized after starring in the hit television series in the 1970's.

"I'm in her corner. I just hope they write well for her!" Lynda says of Gal Gadot's upcoming role as the Amazonian Princess. "I'm very hopeful she embodies the essence of Wonder Woman," she told the Huffington Post, "It's less about super powers and more about heart and intellect and a sense of right and wrong with a goodness in her." She also adds, "Often times, writers really want to take a male superhero and dress him up as a female - and that's just not who she is."

You can read more of the original interview at The Huffington Post and read more on Lynda Carter's thoughts and current music endeavor. It is nice to see that she supports Gal, though it seems to be the trend amongst those who have actually played the parts of iconic superheroes and villains. Any negative feedback on things seem to come from the actors who may be fans, may also be bitter about not getting cast, or ever being cast. Lynda Carter also seemed to nail things on the head in that it it falls onto the shoulders of the writing of the character and how they plan to portray her. Two routes are generally taken with female characters, men dressed as women like she said, but also as pure sex symbols. Hopefully, neither of these are the case in the Man Of Steel follow-up. Like everything in this film, we must wait and see. Things are about to film in Detroit (enter Batfleck) so it won't be long before we get an idea of the direction of both the film and the icon that is Wonder Woman.
