In this week’s episode of DC’s Legends of Tomorrow we finally got to see how The Legion of Doom musketeers got together. Back in Star City 2016 when Darhk was killed by The Green Arrow, Eobart Thawne arrived at Malcolm Merlin’s apartment with the recently departed. That is where the duo were informed of Thawne’s plan to change reality and where they eagerly jumped aboard Team Reverse Flash.

Legion of Doom Holding Cell 2017:

Jump to present day (2017) and the trio is in-fighting over what to do with their newly gained hostage, Rip Hunter. Merlin wants to try to hypnotize Rip using regression therapy. The League of Assassins didn’t call him The Magician for nothing. Unfortunately Merlin lost his touch when he lost his hand and was unable to gain anything from Rip because Rip’s memories are gone. Darhk then decided to take matters into his own hands and removed one of Rip’s teeth. The tooth he sadistically pulled had a barcode for a safe deposit box in Switzerland.

The last time the box was accessed was January 2025. Merlin and Darhk went after the deposit box while Thawne was noticeably absent.

Central City 2017:

Back on the Waverider, The Legends tried to decipher what the Languid Medallion does and how it communicates the location of the Spear of Destiny. Luckily Martin’s daughter Lily is able to lend the team a helping hand. She is able to get the medallion to open using a short ionic pulse. On the timeship Lily meets the team and pairs the medallion with Gideon.

Ray and Lily celebrated their success but it was short lived when Mick arrived to the party. Mick purposely let it slip that Lily is a time aberration and forces Martin to tell her the truth.

Martin originally didn’t want children because he was afraid to become the father his father was. He tells Lily that at first he didn’t want children but now he knows he needs her and that he wouldn’t want a life without her in it.

The professor then miraculously remembers Eobart Thawne aka Reverse Flash and how he was erased from the timeline when Eddie Thawne killed himself. The team realizes that’s why they didn’t have any information on the speedster. Nate then figures out that Thawne can’t stay in one place for a very long time which is why he is constantly on the move. He is running from something.

Zurich, Switzerland 2025:

Merlin and Darhk take Phil (aka Rip) to Switzerland with them thinking he will be able to safely open the deposit box without causing Darhk to take civilian causalities. Their scheme does not go according to plan and they are forced to leave the bank without safe deposit box 4587.

Legion of Doom Holding Cell 2017:

Merlin and Darhk had another squabble after returning to the holding cell. They of course settled the dispute with a good ‘ole fashioned sword fight, League of Assassins’ style. Rip is able to get the duo to stop fighting when he makes them question Thawne’s motives and whereabouts during their attempted bank heist. Merlin and Darhk then agree to team up and take on the speedster for equal treatment; they head back to the bank this time with the security override code.

When Thawne returned he was only greeted by Rip. His henchmen went rogue. Rip tells Thawne where the pair went and he takes off after them.

Zurich, Switzerland 2025:

Merlin and Darhk are greeted by Thawne after they discover a nuermonic archive (used to store memories) in the safe deposit box. Thawne takes the device and the duo trap him inside the vault with them.

His watch goes off and he begins to panic. Turns out Thawne is running from The Black Flash, a zombie-like speedster, that wants to kill him and can sense the speedforce within him. Merlin and Darhk agree to help Thawne if he treats them as equals from now on. He agrees and the duo set up The Black Flash.

They have Thawne stand still, thus no longer using the speedforce, so the creature can’t detect him. Merlin and Darhk were able to attack and capture the creature. They placed it inside the safe where Rip’s deposit box was but it won’t hold the creature for long so the musketeers make a move and head back to the holding cell. This sequence was quite enjoyable to watch as we got to see this big-bad villain squirm and shake with fear.

Legion of Doom Holding Cell 2017:

Once back at The Legion of Doom’s headquarters, Thawne uploads Rip’s memories and makes some adjustments to them before giving them back to Rip.

New Jersey 1776 – Christmas Day:

Armed with his jostled memories, Rip travels back in time and murders General George Washington.

Next Week:

The Legends go back to 1776 to save General Washington and learn that Rip’s brain has been scrambled by The Legion of Doom

DC WEEK FINALE – ‘DC’s LEGENDS OF TOMORROW’ RECAP: “Invasion!”

The post ‘DC’s Legends of Tomorrow’ Recap: “The Legion of Doom” appeared first on RESPECT. | The Photo Journal of Hip-Hop Culture.

Tuesday’s (January 24^th) episode of DC’s Legends of Tomorrow finally revealed what happened to Rip Hunter and introduced us to a young George Lucas.

Back in N.Y. when the Waverider was on the verge of exploding, Rip grabbed a piece of wood from the floor board (The Holy Lance/Spear of Destiny) and then used the timedrive on himself in order to reset the timeline and consequentially rearrange his own reality. The spear he left with has the power to rewrite reality permanently. Hence why Darhk, Merlin and Thawne are after it.

Fast forward, well technically reverse back to L.A. 1967 and Rip Hunter is a hot-shot AMERICAN student director named Phil who has George Lucas as his prop master for a film based on Rip Hunter’s life. Rip’s repressed memories are the backbone of the screenplay Phil has written.

The languid medallion that Merlin and Darhk have in their possession is a compass to spear of destiny. The team finds Rip in L.A. but unfortunately for them he doesn’t remember them at all. Rip and George are then attacked by Merlin and Darhk. The Legends are able to save them but can’t prevent Rip/Phil from being arrested.

Therefore, Martin, Sarah and Mick are forced to break him out of jail. This is after Martin takes a break from being Mick’s shrink; Mick divulged to Martin that he has been seeing Snart for some time now, hoping the professor might be able to help him get his brain back. The Legends are able to break Rip out but Merlin and tow aren’t that far behind them. Luckily Ray drives the Waverider to their location and picks them up. This of course causes Rip to pass out as he thought he was making everything up.

Once back on the ship Ray and Nate start to have side effects of an aberration. Turns out good old George Lucas is the aberration. After the attack George dropped out of film school and thus altered the career paths of Nate and Ray. The two with the help of Amaya go get George and convince him to go back to school.

Back on the ship we learn that Mick had an antenna of sorts placed in his skull when he was Chronos. That antenna gathered up black matter that Snart merged with when he blew up. It turns out the antenna was never on and Mick has been seeing Snart because he is questioning his morals. On the other side of the timeship Jax and Sarah learn that Rip gave the spear of destiny to George Lucas, his prop master for the movie.

Of course, Merlin and Darhk have already figured this out and have placed George, Amaya, Nate and Ray inside a garbage compactor where George dumped the spear. The compactor is turned on and The Legends tell George that he has to believe he will make inspiring movies one day in order for Nate and Ray to get their powers back. George screams “I want to be a director!” and Nate/Ray get their powers back. Thus they are able to escape.

When the team is outmanned Phil decides to take on the role of Rip Hunter and fire a gun at Merlin/Darhk. Unfortunately for him it doesn’t work but luckily Gideon does and she fires everything she has at them. The last remaining member or The Legion of Doom musketeers arrives in time to snag Rip before the team can get him back on the Waverider.

Sarah was able to grab the medallion and the fragment of the spear before Thawne captured Rip.

Next Week:

Darhk/Thawne/Merlin aka The Legion of Doom torture Rip to get the location on the remaining pieces of the spear

The Legends plan to rescue Rip and possibly trade the amulet for his life

The final installment of DC’s 4 night epic crossover event concluded with last night’s episode of DC’s Legends of Tomorrow. Still located in Central City The Legends team up with the rest of the crossover team to eliminate The Dominators.

Central City 2016

After escaping the mothership and their abductors the team decides they want to commit an abduction of their own. Mick, Amaya, Nate, Felicity and Cisco head back in time to 1951 to kidnap a Dominator. Back at the base aka the Star Labs hanger, Oliver wants Kara to sit out or minimize her involvement in order to regain a sense of normalcy. He can’t handle all the aliens, even if a good one is on his side.

While Oliver continues to piss off Kara, Caitlin and Martin work on a plan to figure out how to defeat The Dominators back at Star Labs. Without Ray they aren’t doing too well. Luckily Martin’s daughter Lily helps them out as she has a PhD in Nanophysiology.

Timeship Central City 2016

On the timeship Cisco and Felicity geek out and start asking Nate all these techy questions that he can’t answer. They also throw in a Grease reference. “This ship is automatic. Systematic. Hydromatic.”

Redmond, Oregon 1951

The team lands in 1951 Redmond, Oregon moments later and Felicity experiences all the side effects of time travel. Therefore Felicity and Cisco are forced to stay on the timeship but not before Nate throws in a Princess Bride reference.

In the field Nate finally brings out his star spangled supersuit. Mick is not a fan but then again he really doesn’t like anything. While Mick, Amaya and Nate wait for a weak alien in the group, Cisco and Felicity have a mini therapy session. She tries to get him to see Barry’s point of view and understand that Dante’s death wasn’t his fault. It doesn’t work.

Cisco doesn’t have to dwell on it for long as Mick, Amaya and Nate spot a stray Dominator and make a move. They torch and beat it up a bit in order to grab it. Unfortunately they were not the only one’s looking to capture a Dominator. The group encounters a special government agent squad lead by Agent Smith and they are tranquilized and taken. Cisco and Felicity jump into action to rescue them.

Inside the cell Amaya and Nate realize the tranquilizer they were shot with is affecting their powers. They also learn of their cellmate; The Dominator they tried to capture earlier. They attempt to communicate with it.

Star Labs Central City 2016

Back at Star Labs Martin’s daughter (Lily) notices her father seems off. He is acting distant and treating her like a stranger, which to him she is. However, Martin doesn’t plan on dealing with this adversity for too long. He plans on restoring the timeline and in doing so will erase Lily from existence.

On the other side of town The White Canary (Sarah), The Green Arrow (Oliver), The Flash (Barry) and The Atom (Ray) are waiting for the president but are greeted by Agent Smith. The same Agent Smith, now much older, who kidnapped Amaya, Mick, Nate and The Dominator back in 1951. Smith informs the team that The Dominators dislike metas because they perceive them as a threat. Instead of accepting the team’s help, Smith and his special agents engage in a battle with the team.

Redmond, Oregon 1951

The other half of the team learns The Dominators are here to determine if the metahumans (at that period of time the JSA) are a threat. They are then rescued by the nerds (Cisco and Felicity) and set The Dominator that they captured free. Turns out the Waverider has a Dominator ship and they use that ship to send the Dominator back to its mothership. Not before Cisco snagged a transponder from the ship though.

Amaya, Mick, Nate, Felicity and Cisco strap in and return home to Central City 2016.

Central City 2016

At the hanger Agent Smith lets Barry know he knows everything about him and how he altered the timeline. The Dominators are back because of Barry. He unknowingly broke the truce by changing the timeline and creating flashpoint. However Agent Smith lets Barry know of the deal he made with the alien invaders. If Barry surrenders himself to The Dominators they will leave in peace.

The other half of the team returns to the hanger and gets a phone call from The Dominator they saved. He tells them he will spare their lives but if Barry doesn’t turn himself in The Dominators will unleash a weapon that will destroy all metahumans.

After getting this news Dominator ships begin to land all over the world. Cisco tries to call The Dominator back but he doesn’t answer. Hoping to get in contact with The Dominator he spoke to earlier Cisco vibes into the mothership with Nate.

They find him and learn the reason why The Dominators are threatened by Metahumans. They are afraid if bad people get powers they will use them to harm others and destroy the planet. The Dominators have seen it happen before and refuse to let history repeat itself. Speaking of history. Turns out Nate, Amaya, Cisco, Mick and Felicity altered the timeline when they saved The Dominator back in 1951. Cisco is finally able to understand Barry’s side of the story and the regret he feels.

Star Labs Central City 2016

Martin reconciles with Lily and she is able to figure out how to get the Nano-device to work. Is he having a change of heart? Will he still erase her from existence and restore the timeline or choose to save his daughter?

Central City 2016

As usual Barry wants to be a martyr and prepares to turn himself over. No ifs, ands or buts about it. Except for the fact that Oliver and the rest of the team won’t let him leave. Even Cisco wants him to stay. He calls Barry his friend again.

Ships all over the world and in Central City begin opening up. The team quickly discovers that it was a guise used to distract them from the real threat pummeling toward the Earth; The Dominators metabomb.

Martin arrives in time to give Barry the Nano-device crafted by Lily. Team crossover takes on The Dominators to distract them while Barry plants Martin and Lily’s weapon on all them. Amidst the battle Oliver is thrown off a building by the invaders but is saved by Supergirl.

In the air Sarah and Cisco use the Waverider to try and grab the metabomb. They recruit Firestorm to help them. Firestorm has to transmute the device into something harmless.

Supergirl and The Flash go across the globe planting devices on the remaining Dominators. Felicity uses the device to hurt The Dominators allowing Firestorm to successfully transmute the device causing The Dominators to retreat around the world.

Team crossover celebrates their victory and Ray slips in a nod to his Man of Steel days when he says Kara looks like his cousin.

Speaking of Kara. Oliver apologies to her and results in a Barry-Kara-Oliver (an unwilling participant) group hug. Cisco interrupts the moment to Oliver’s relief and presents Kara with a gift he made. The gift is an interdimensional extrapolator that creates small breaches so she can come back to this earth anytime she wants. It also has a communication device so she can contact the team when she wants/needs to.

Mick eavesdrops and learns of the device. He uses it to segway into a pickup line and hits on skirt aka Kara, telling her to call him.

In another part of the hanger Martin makes Jax promise not to tell the team about his daughter. He has had a change of heart and doesn’t want to lose her. If Jax tells the team they will be forced to restore the timeline and erase her from existence. The question remains: what other changes will this aberration make to the timeline if left alone?

Agent Smith briefly returns to speak to the team but before he can get a word out Kara tells him he has been reassigned to Antarctica. After silencing Smith Kara uses her breach device and returns home.

Forgiveness came full circle for Barry in the close of this episode. Diggle forgives him and tells Barry that he has to forgive himself.

Looking to continue the celebration Barry and Oliver head out to have a drink. After a few jabs their conversation turns more sincere. They realize that their lives would not be full if they were normal. They finally appreciate just how lucky they are.

Next Week:

Mid-season finale of The Flash: The Flash from Earth 3 and Barry take on Savitar.

Mid-season finale of Arrow: Evelyn goes rogue and unveils herself as a traitor who is working for Prometheus.

Mid-season finale of DC’s Legends of Tomorrow: Al Capone arrives and Leonard Snart aka Captain Cold returns but not as The Legends version of Snart. He is just a criminal. Could this be the beginning of The Legion of Doom?

The post DC WEEK FINALE – ‘DC’s LEGENDS OF TOMORROW’ RECAP: “Invasion!” appeared first on RESPECT. | The Photo Journal of Hip-Hop Culture.

DC Week’s 4 night crossover event continued on last night’s episode of The Flash. The invasion began in Central City when a spaceship landed in the center of town.

Barry approached the spaceship but was sent flying from a silver beam of light. Moments later The Dominators were unleashed, dashing off the spaceship. Lyla Diggle arrived in Central City shortly after the landing of The Dominators and she filled Team Flash in on what she knows. She then informed the team to stand down and let A.R.G.U.S. handle it.

Barry won’t back off that easily and heads out to Star City to recruit Team Arrow. While this is going on Iris and Joe watch as Wally reaches mock 2 during testing. Iris makes Caitlin and Cisco lie to Wally about his abilities hoping it will delay his use of his newly found superpowers.

Barry reaches Star City and saves Spartan and The Green Arrow from getting shot by a vigilante. He brings them both back to Felicity’s apartment and tells them about the invading aliens. Speedy aka Thea Queen walks in on their conversation and decides to come out of retirement to battle The Dominators. Oliver and Barry then have Felicity send a message to The Legends asking for their help.

The Legends arrive in Central City while Barry and Cisco go to Earth 38 and pick up Kara aka Supergirl. A new team assembles (Team Flash + Team Arrow + The Legends (minus Nate and Amaya who hang back to watch the wave rider) + Supergirl) and formulate a plan to take down The Dominators. Barry becomes team leader aka Oliver calls the shots and Barry repeats them. Oliver/Barry tell the team to prepare to train against Kara since she is an alien. The team battles Kara but nothing phases her.

While this is going on invasion continues. The Dominators ready a mind controlling device and prepare to use it on the president. They kidnap the president and take him back to a warehouse.

Barry learns that Snart died sacrificing himself for the team and also learns about the message he sent Rip in the future.

Wally shows up to try and train with the team. Iris is able to stop him from interfering. That is until he heads back to the lab and sees his test results; his powers are excelling and his body is adapting well to the changes. This only makes Wally want to get in the field more but Joe and Iris don’t want him to get involved, therefore Wally turns to an unlikely ally; HR. Wally tries to convince HR to secretly train him but HR turns him down not wanting to jeopardize his position with the team.

After his discussion with Barry, Martin starts having his visions again. Caitlin walks in mid-vision and Martin asks her to escort him back to his home to go see the woman in his visions. Martin arrives home and is finally able to confirm that the woman he is seeing in his visions is in fact his daughter. He is also still married to Clarissa.

Martin’s daughter is a direct result of Barry messing with the timeline. At least this aberration had a positive result for Martin. Unfortunately for the other members in the arrowverse it’s not the same story, which is why Cisco forces Barry to tell the team about his message and the changing of the timeline.

Diggle learns that he originally had a daughter and not a son. The rest of the team now distrusts Barry and therefore Barry sits out round one. Oliver refuses to go into battle without him and is forced to stay behind as well. The rest of the team lead by Kara go retrieve the president.

While in the field Kara tells the team about her x-ray vision. Mick being his usual repulsive self says he will call her skirt not Supergirl. That is right after he asks if she can see everyone’s giblets with her x-ray vision.

The team then heads into the warehouse and finds the president. Unfortunately for them it is a trap by The Dominators; the president was a hologram. They are then attacked by The Dominators and taken over by them.

Barry and Oliver have a heart to heart back at Star Labs. Barry shows Oliver the news article from the future where he goes missing. The news article from Barry’s future isn’t written by Iris West-Allen any more. What did Barry do in the future? Did he sabotage their relationship?

Oliver tells Barry that he isn’t a God and that he is going to make mistakes. What matters is that he learns from those mistakes. Moments later Barry and Oliver are alerted by Cisco that the team is under control of The Dominators. Barry and Oliver arrive on the scene and are attacked by their friends. They have to take them out one by one without killing them.

Seeing the trouble Oliver and Barry are in Wally goes out to help them. Wally gets injured by Kara when he tries to protect Barry. Ollie takes a now unconscious Wally and runs for cover while Barry challenges Supergirl to a race.

Ollie reaches a building but is cornered when he runs out of arrows. He is forced to compete in hand to hand combat with The White Canary aka Sarah Lance. On the other side of Central City Barry has Kara chase him back to the warehouse where The Dominators device is being held. Barry vibrates and Kara flies through him and the mind control device controlling the team breaking it, therefore breaking the mind control on them.

An injured Wally returns to Star Labs and is scorned by Joe and Iris. However all hope is not lost for Kid Flash as HR agrees to train Wally after he saw he was willing to sacrifice himself to save Barry and Oliver; he sees potential in the young speedster.

At the close of the episode Sarah is taken by The Dominators along with Ray, Oliver, Mick and Speedy.

TO BE CONTINUED ON ARROW!

More of what’s to come:

What remains of the crossover team searches to find its abducted members.

The Dominators play head games. Katie Cassidy aka Laurel Lance/Black Canary and Slade Wilson aka Deathstroke return for Arrow’s 100th episode. Who else will return for the 100th episode? Oliver’s mom? Tommy?

Look out for a recap of tomorrow’s episode of Arrow to find out!

Last season The Legends were left to take the place of the Time Masters that were destroyed. The season premiere of Legends started in Star City 2016 and uses flashbacks to tell the story of what happened to the Legends.

Star City 2016:

Dr. Nate Heywood comes to Oliver Queen to tell him that the Legends are in trouble. Heywood is a time detective/historian who found the Legend’s timeship in the bottom of the ocean. Queen and Heywood enter the ship and see that it is still keeping Mick in stasis. They wake Mick up and he begins to tell the story of what happened to the rest of the team.

France 1637:

The team is trying to save the King of France. Well most of the team. Sarah is busy fornicating with the Queen while the men are battling. They end up saving the King and restore a small portion of history.

Once the team heads back to the ship they experience a time quake; an unusually large aberration in NYC 1942. NYC was nuked by Nazi’s in 1942. The exact place Rex Tyler told them not to return to as this would be the year the team is killed. The team then discovers that WWII last two more years and Einstein goes missing. Putting two and two together the team realizes Einstein was kidnapped to create the atomic bomb.

NYC 1942:

The team kidnaps Einstein only to discover his ex-wife was the one who helped the Nazi’s create the atomic bomb. Mick’s love for “roasting Nazi’s” and Sarah’s quest to kill Damien Dhark costs the team greatly. They are unable to get the bomb and it makes its way onto a submarine.

Rip Hunter decides to take matters into his own hands. He has been secretly teaching Jefferson about the timeship and uses the time scatter he created to send the team into different parts of history. All except Mick of course who was too injured to travel. Mick is placed in stasis as Rip and the timeship make a collision course for the torpedo with the bomb and stop NYC from being nuked. Rip presumably goes down with his ship.

Star City 2016:

Mick and Heywood team up to find the other Legends.

South Dakota 70 Million Years Ago:

Ray is a caveman being chased by a T-Rex.

England 821:

Jefferson and Martin are Jesters that are about to have their heads taken off.

Salem 1693:

Sarah is corrupting women as usual and is deemed a witch to be burned at the stake.

After the team is reassembled they hear Rip’s final message. “History is yours now, my dear Legends.” The team is still unable to locate him.

Columbia 1942:

We then head to 1942 Columbia where Einstein acknowledges his ex-wife’s contributions and in turn restores history. We also learn that Damien Dhark and Eobard Thawne (Reverse Flash) are working together. The Legends are then confronted by the Justice Society of America (JSA).

The JSA is made up of Commander Steel, Dr. Mid-Nite, Hourman (Rex Tyler), Vixen, Stargirl and Obsidian.

JSA Headquarters 1942:

The Legends are held in a cell at the JSA headquarters while Thawne is out there giving a serum to Hitler that creates super soldiers. After pleading their case the Legends are let go and oddly enough Martin is appointed interim captain of the ship.

Both the JSA and Legends team up (well The Legends intrude on the JSA’s undercover operation…. same thing) to go after Krieger aka Captain Nazi to save the JSA members from dying. Martin sings for his life and Ray causes a fight after he won’t salute Hitler. Stargirl shuts down the fight with one blast from her staff.

The teams head back to the ship and that is where Sarah discovers Heywood is a hemophiliac; his blood doesn’t clot and he could die from a minor injury.

Fountainbleu Forest 1942:

Captain Nazi injects himself with the serum and becomes a hulk-like figure. The teams are forced to pull back and leave behind Vixen and Ray. However, Rex does recover the amulet.

Captain Nazi and tow capture The Atom (Ray) and Vixen. Rex is willing to sacrifice the two to end the war a day earlier, however Sarah (now the new captain of the ship) won’t allow that to happen.

Back in the bunker where Ray and Vixen are being kept Ray discovers the serum and tweaks it in order to give him superpowers. Unfortunately before he is able to inject himself he is stopped by the JSA and Legends rescue.

Outside the camp Commander Steel and Dr. Mid-Nite are being attacked by Captain Nazi. Heywood to the rescue! Nate rescues his grandfather via motorcycle and watches Captain Nazi be decimated by an airstrike. However, the celebration doesn’t last long as the grandson-grandfather team are also hit by the airstrike. Nate suffers severe internal bleeding and is basically dying until Ray sacrifices his chance at superpowers and gives the serum to Nate, saving his life. They return to NYC 1942.

NYC 1942:

Commander Steel’s dog tags return around Nate’s neck signifying the timeline has been restored.

JSA Headquarters 1942:

Rex meets Thawne face to face and learns that Thawne erased him from the timeline. Thawne then kills Rex and steals the amulet.

Next Week

The team heads to Japan and faces off with Shogun.

Nate Heywood becomes Citizen Steel.

Bada** woman alert! Warner Bros and DC Films are definitely doing Wonder Woman justice in this film. Gal Gadot perfectly embodies the bada**ery that is Diana Prince. The slow-mo shots of Gadot in action in this trailer are incredible. This trailer is giving us high hopes about the film in its entirety.

Wonder Woman hits the silver screen June 2^nd, 2017.

Justice League trailer:

This trailer alone has turned me into SUPER GEEK! Aquaman, The Flash, Batman, Wonder Woman and Cyborg all coming at you while The White Stripes’s Iggy Thump plays in the background. Barry Allen is quirky and hilarious in this trailer. Aquaman is quite frightening and Cyborg is well your typical Cyborg. The IMDB cast listing for this movie is also swoon worthy. There are rumors of Iris West and The Joker making a cameo in this film. I may be reading too much into this but if an Arkham Guard has been cast in this film it must mean we are heading to Arkham Asylum at some point, which happens to be the last place we saw The Joker. Coincidence, maybe? Or maybe not?

Justice League hits theaters November 17^th, 2017.

The Walking Dead season 7 trailer:

Season 7 premieres October 23rd on AMC.

As per IMDB, Marvel’s “Doctor Strange” follows the story of the talented neurosurgeon Doctor Stephen Strange who, after a tragic car accident, must put ego aside and learn the secrets of a hidden world of mysticism and alternate dimensions. Based in New York City’s Greenwich Village, Doctor Strange must act as an intermediary between the real world and what lies beyond, utilizing a vast array of metaphysical abilities and artifacts to protect the Marvel cinematic universe.

This visually spectacular film hits theaters November 4^th.
