#DORK Episode V: Batman: Arkham Knight
Keefe & Davey talk Batman: Arkham Knight and some of the other new video games coming out this year. (I apologize for the microphone popping by me early on, I didn't edit after, that's my bad. But it doesn't last the entire thing. I'll do better next time.)

New Joker
I don't hate the new look of Jared Leto's Joker, for the upcoming "Suicide Squad" movie. In fact I really like it. It's more like the graphic novels and video games.
They've all be good really.
Looking forward to seeing Leto take on this role.

Rich Reviews: Gotham (First Episode)
I should start by saying that I am obsessed with Batman. I've read a ton of the comic books (or graphic novels, because I'm an adult), I actually like all of the movies (well the Clooney one was a piece of trash but I still found some enjoyment in it.) The video games are some of the best ever and how about the cartoon growing up?
I still find myself more a fan of Marvel Comics (X-Men, Fantastic 4, Avengers, Iron Man, Daredevil, Spider-Man, etc., etc.) compared to DC (Batman, Superman, Flash, Green Lantern, Aquaman... Aquaman?). But Batman, and his cast of villains, is my favorite. The
So, Fox released Gotham on Monday night. The show is NOT about Batman, instead the origin of some of the notable characters. Yes Bruce Wayne is in it, but the show begins with the infamous moment of his parents, Thomas & Martha, being gunned down in an alley during a mugging.
If this show lasts long enough maybe we will see Batman, but that's not the selling point here. Jim Gordon is the main character, his early days on the GCPD. We also see young villains in their infancy stages and roles within Gotham.
One criticism that is fair, is it seems like they are trying to shoehorn classic characters into the story. Without giving anything away, there is at least one character in episode one that seems really forced. Maybe they go somewhere with it, we'll see.
There are so many stories already written, the writers of the show need to pick and choose and create their own without getting buried and confusing the viewer. I just hope they don't feel the need to throw villain after villain after villain and try to tie them all in together at such young ages. To be fair, if they did not include any of the classic enemies I'd be saying, "Hey, where are the bad guys I know?"
The first episode showed a lot of promise. The acting is good. There was action, and they didn't drag their feet in setting up the plot for the season.
I'm in. Of course it would have to be AWFUL for me not to be.

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice
Movie title is out. Sweet little logo revealed. And now we got less than 2 years until this bad boy is released... MAY 6, 2016. Is Fandango taking reservations? Should I put up a countdown clock?

Ben Affleck Batman
(Director Zach Snyder tweeted this picture out.)
I was one of the only people in the world who didn't hate Daredevil, so I'm going to wait and see until I say Affleck sucks as Batman. He's got to be better than Clooney right?

Upcoming Comic Book Movies
People like comic books, people like movies, people LOVE comic book movies. You can look forward to all of these coming "soon."
They've been making comic book movies consistently for over a decade, and still there are plenty left that I am interested in seeing. The Amazing Spider-Man was better than the Tobey M Spider-Mans and the Avengers was real good. How Ben Affleck (Batman) and Jesse Eisenberg (Lex Luthor) do in Batman vs. Superman will be somethin.
All and all. Can't wait.
- Captain America: The Winter Soldier (April 4, 2014)
- The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (May 2, 2014)
- X-Men: The Days of Future Past (May 23, 2014)
- Guardians of the Galaxy (August 1, 2014)
- Sin City: A Dame to Kill For (August 22, 2014)
- The Avengers 2 (May 1, 2015)
- Ant-Man (July 17, 2015)
- Batman vs. Superman (May 6, 2016)
- X-Men: Apocalypse (May 27, 2016)

Top 10 Tuesday: Batman Villains
Time to start up a weekly segment here on The Brief. Top 10 Tuesday. Is it the most original thing? No. Are lists something a 3rd grader could do? Yes. But people like rankings and it's easy to argue someone's list. So for as long as it lasts, I present, Top 10 Tuesdays: Batman Villains. (I don't consider Catwoman a villain, just too friendly with Batman.)
Honorable Mention: Hush, The Penguin, Mr. Freeze, Holiday, Victor Zsasz
10. Calender Man
Julian Day committed crimes based on significant days/ holidays on calender, hence the name. It may seem corny, but in the graphic novel The Long Halloween, Calender Man basically played the role of Hannibal Hector.
9. Bane
I didn't love The Dark Knight Rises. Bane, however is one of the best bad guys to mess with Batman. Brains and Bronze with the voice of an underwater Sean Connery, what's not to like? Oh and he also broke the Bat.
8. Ra's al Ghul
His daughter Talia, could probably also be on this list. Ra's is the leader of the League of Assassins, and one of Batman's toughest foes. He was the perfect villain in Batman Begins and I'm pretty sure he is everything proof.
7. Scarecrow
Dr. Jonathan Crane. He was a great addition to the Christopher Nolan trilogy. He uses a lot of drugs and toxins to mess with the minds of whomever. Lot of toxin-wielding villains in Gotham City. Toxins.
6. The Riddler
I have always enjoyed, Edward Nigma aka The Riddler. Who doesn't love riddles, puzzles, and word games? Throw in a sweet green suit, question marks, and a cane... that's a villain!
5. The Mad Hatter
Is Jervis Tetch a rip off of an Alice in Wonderland character? Of course he is. But he's a real sick-o. Another dude who relies on mind-control devices. Dare I say toxins? He's obsessed with the Lewis Carroll book and is a genius. He needs to be in one of these 13 Ben Affleck movies.
4. Two-Face
D.A. Harvey Dent was a guy fighting for Gotham. WAS. A court room incident (in the comic storylines) turned him into one of the best villains of all-time. The coin flip is bad ass and where does he get those suits?
3. Poison Ivy
Pamela Isley is all about the toxins. She can also control plants. You wouldn't think that would be very helpful, but turns out it works for her.
2. Harley Quinn
Dr. Harleen Quinzel was a psychiatrist at Arkham Asylum where she was working with The Joker and boom she falls in love with him and goes nuts. Great idea. She started on the animated TV series, was worked in the comics and is probably at her best in the video games such as Batman: Arkham City.
1. The Joker
Couldn't be anyone else. The most famous villain in all of comics. The Joker is the best. Whether it's old school Adam West Batman, or Jack Nicholson and of course Heath Ledger. Check out the graphic novel Batman: The Killing Joke if you want an origin story for the greatest villain all-time.
Honorable Mention: Hush, The Penguin, Mr. Freeze, Holiday, Victor Zsasz
10. Calender Man
Julian Day committed crimes based on significant days/ holidays on calender, hence the name. It may seem corny, but in the graphic novel The Long Halloween, Calender Man basically played the role of Hannibal Hector.
