SDCC 2015

SDCC has given us a glimpse at Mike Colter and Krysten Ritter as Luke Cage and Jessica Jones in the Netflix series Jessica Jones, and it's on fire! Literally. Luke Cage has unbreakable skin, so he'll be fine.

San Diego Comic Con attendees at the Warner Bros panel this morning got to see new footage from Batman v Superman, featuring Wonder Woman and Lex Luthor in action. Luckily for us, Warmer Bros has already put it up online. The cast of BvS took the stage to talk production and revealed some interesting tidbits:

• Christian Bale's advice to Ben Affleck re: the Batman suit: "make sure you can piss in that thing." Touché, Bale, touché.
• Batman v Superman is an homage to Frank Miller and the Dark Knight, according to Snyder, but is not the same story.
• Gotham and Metropolis are twin cities in the film, much like Oakland and San Francisco.
• Batman's suit in BvS is intentionally larger to protect him from Superman, so maybe it won't be as cheesy as it looked in some of the promo images.

Attendees also got a look at Suicide Squad, which many described on Twitter as being very dark, cynical, and violent. Looks like there won't be any goofy, Marvel-esque antics here. Watch the potato quality version below:





The panel also revealed that next Green Lantern film won't be just another retelling of Hal Jordan's story; it'll feature the Green Lantern Corps, an intergalactic police force made up of more than 7000 lanterns. This reveal isn't surprising, given Tyrese Gibson's recent tease of two lanterns on Instagram:

Normally, we're used to seeing the Magic Mike side of Channing Tatum, and no one's complaining.



But it's easy to forget that he's also a good guy. While promoting his passion project at Comic-Con, a solo superhero flick about Gambit, the 21 Jump Street star rushed to help veteran nerd hero, Stan Lee off the stage after taking an awesome selfie. 

Panel 10 - Hall H, @20thCenturyFoxPanel - I mean this HAS to be some kind of damn record. Most superheroes in one selfie? Casts of Wolverine, X-Men, Deadpool, Gambit, and Fantastic Four PLUS the Generalissimo!!! #sdcc2015 #HallH #sdccDiarywick

DORITO MOM

Conan O'brien is on a post-Comic Con streak, here. Especially since he was able to gain access to George R. R. Martin's home camera system. 

And lo, we all learn what keeps Mr. Martin busy while his characters remain in some sort of literary limbo.

SDCC attendees got a look behind the scenes of the new Star Wars. Check it out!

The Doctor is joining Wyldstyle, Batman and Gandalf on a new adventure through time, space, and bricks in LEGO's answer to Skylanders/Amiibo/Disney Infinity, LEGO Dimensions. Players build LEGO sets that allow them to access characters in the game by use of an NFC portal. LEGO Dimensions will feature levels based on Back to the Future, Portal, the Simpsons, and as seen above, Doctor Who.

Not a fan of the newest Doctor? Don't worry, all the Doctors will be joining the fray as playable characters. The game will be released on September 27 in North America and September 29 in Europe. 

Conan O'brien's decision to host his show from the San Diego confines of the country's biggest Comic Con provides him with some unprecedented access. 

That includes this hidden footage of many actors looking to play Wolverine and replace Hugh Jackman, who's hanging up his claws after portraying Logan in about 2,000 movies.

The variety of stars wanting to join the ranks of the X Men are a lot more varied than you would expect.

Example:



That's some real access he got there. Use your Comic Con power wisely, Conan.
