Comic-Con 2013 — Well, That Was Different

Leave a reply

It often takes me several weeks to finish writing up the whole Comic-Con experience, and while I’ll probably think of a few things I need to add somewhere, I’ve actually finished already, just hours after the convention’s end.

You can read my full article at K-Squared Ramblings, where I write about:

  • Trying to blend the chaos of Comic Con with the chaos of a toddler.
  • Booth-sitting for Brian Buccellato.
  • Doing the impossible: adding a night’s hotel stay during the con (and not at the Bates Motel!)
  • Losing Friday afternoon to a stay in the emergency room. (Food allergies. We hates them.)
  • Breakfast fiasco and success.
  • Thwarted attempts to get exclusives.
  • Protester parodies, floating minions, giant Teen Titans, and lots and lots of LEGO.
  • Oh yeah, and costumes too.

Minions!

I’m back from Comic-Con! (Yeah, I know it’s still going on.) I’ve got about 80 photos up on Flickr covering everything from cosplay to protest signs to action figures and statues to booth displays to giant inflatable Teen Titans to — I kid you not — a blimp done up as a Despicable Me minion.

Here’s a selection of Flash-related photos to get you started.

Flash Film Date Announced at SDCC (or not)

18 Replies

The big news out of Comic-Con on Saturday is the announcement of a Flash film. As described by The Hollywood Reporter, a Flash movie is tentatively planned for 2016, with a Justice League film slated in 2017. There will also be a team-up film starring Superman and Batman, due out in 2015 and directed by Zack Snyder. Henry Cavill will reprise his role as Superman, but it’s not known who will play Batman. And there’s no word yet of actors or scriptwriters for the Flash film.

Finally a possible date for a Flash movie, and he’ll probably be in the Justice League film too! (Otherwise there would be no point to making the Flash film first.) Are you excited? What do you hope to see in both movies?

Edited to add: It seems I may have jumped the gun, as according to Bleeding Cool the film has not been officially announced. Only The Hollywood Reporter’s “sources” have said so at this point. That’s…kind of a kick in the pants, and mea culpa. That said, Bleeding Cool notes that just because it wasn’t announced today doesn’t mean the rumours are false, so fingers crossed.
