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 Jones RoboCop Prequel
Did you ever think to yourself "RoboCop is cool and all, but I'd rather watch a story about the rise of Dick Jones climbing the corporate ladder in OCP?
Me neither.
Two Joker Sequels
Current rumor flying around is that they want to make two sequels to Joaquin Phoenix's Joker film.
Frankly, I think it's a bad idea. The story works best as a standalone. If they get into sequel territory, you have to canonize the events and eliminate the "was it all real" aspect that people like about the movie. That's kind of defeating some of its purpose, like if you made a sequel to Inception and exposed that Cobb wasn't dreaming anymore.
Young Justice: Phantoms
Young Justice has been renewed for a fourth season with no other information other than that its subtitle this time will be Phantoms.
Awesome. Big fan of the show (even though it has flaws of definitely wanting to take on too many different characters and not enough stories to keep track of, and then skipping ahead to just write off not needing to wrap up some story elements).
What could Phantoms be about? Dead characters from the past influencing the present day? The Phantom Zone? Something more on the mystical side? I hope not the latter, as the magic stuff has never been my favorite.
Wonder Woman 1984 Delayed
This is the DC version of The New Mutants. This movie has gotten delayed too many times to count, yet the film's script leaked online how long ago? Now, it's coming out Christmas. How much do you want to bet that doesn't happen, either?
WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON THESE TOPICS?
