Welcome to another edition of WEEK IN GEEK here at Fanboys Anonymous—a rundown of some of the events, news and stories that went down over the past few days in the geek culture spectrum.


Here are some of the topics I felt like voicing my opinions about:

Dick Grayson in Batman v Superman

Zack Snyder confirmed that the dead Robin in BVS was supposed to be Dick Grayson.

I KNEW IT. I knew he was screwing that up and going with killing the wrong Robin just for simplicity's sake!

All these years later and now, I have vindication that I was right to be worried that they would have messed that up royally. Just like they HORRIBLY whiffed the whole Jenny Jurwich and killing Jimmy Olsen thing.

Snyder made some great decisions about some stuff in his work on this series, but he made a LOT of really, really, really bad decisions, too. This would have been one of them.

More Rumors of Thomas Wayne in Flashpoint

From the time of Batman v Superman, we've heard rumors that Jeffrey Dean Morgan would be playing Thomas Wayne in a Flashpoint film.

Over and over, this rumor comes up. It's come up again.

I'll believe it when I see it. This film - and many others in this series - have been rumored to be guaranteed to do 100 different things and 99 of them never happen.

Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time

Love the title! I thought the first game in this series was great back in the day. I never played the others, but I remember thinking Crash was a worthy companion to Mario and Sonic. It's good to see him returning.

Echo Coming to MCU

They're casting for a deaf female, 18 or older, of "Native American, First Nations, Indigenous or Latinx" actress they're calling Malia.

Maya Lopez / Echo isn't a character I know much about, but the speculation that this could be that character makes a toooon of sense.
