Supergirl trailer introduces the world to TV’s newest superhero

We’re in the middle of a renaissance of comic book films and it seems like comic book television shows are just getting started. The newest member of DC’s stable, Supergirl, was recently ordered up for a season by CBS, and now we get our first look at it with a 6 minute summary of what looks to be the pilot.

Supergirl comes from Berlanti Productions – you might remember that name from The CW’s Arrow and The Flash.

Just about every channel has a comic book show airing or in the works right now, though NBC’s Constantine is on the way out, Fox’s Gotham is struggling, and many are worried about their take on the Vertigo property Lucifer.

CW’s shows are the most obviously comic-booky and they’ve also been the best-received by fans as well. With Greg Berlanti at the helm of Supergirl as well, I actually have some reason to get excited about this show. If CBS can leave it alone, it could be a lot of fun based on this short clip. I’ll admit it has a bit of a Black Widow: Age of Me feel to it at the beginning, but for a character like Supergirl, that kind of works as a starting point. Melissa Benoist seems to fill both of her character’s identities pretty well, too.

The show seems to pick up on some of what we saw in Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel, interestingly, but it doesn’t follow slavishly. The character is treated as an alien like Superman was, and many people are suspicious of her. She also mentions that the emblem on her suit isn’t an “S” but her family’s coat of arms. However, the show is bright and has an optimistic feel to it.

There’s a lot to be excited about here, from the producer and costume design to the effects we’ve seen so far. I just hope they stop referring to her cousin – the show can’t actually say Superman) every five minutes after the first episode, because that’s going to get old fast.

We can look forward to seeing more of Supergirl, most likely, at San Diego Comic-Con, but definitely when it starts airing Monday nights at 8 p.m. on CBS in November.

Mad Max meets Mario Kart is just bloody brilliant

How is this for a clever mash-up?  sundbergkr ‘s Mario Kart: Fury Road parody trailer mashes up the worlds of Mad Max and Mario Kart to epic results in this wonderful parody of the film’s trailer. What’s really special about this mash-up is that it isn’t entirely overdone. The Mario references are brief, subtle, and appear just long enough for you to appreciate them before waiting eagerly for the next one. Without a doubt the giant Chomp is the most laugh out loud moment, but the creators also slip in some perfectly timed and inappropriate voice clips during the violent action. I still haven’t seen Mad Max: Fury Road , due it not coming out in Japan until June 20, but I had purposely avoided the trailers to not get any spoilers. Now, thanks to Mario, June 20 can’t come fast enough! Source : Via : Destructoid from TechnoBuffalo http://ift.tt/1AvRv58

Exec behind “Next Big Thing” campaign has departed Samsung

Samsung Mobile CMO, Todd Pendleton, has reportedly departed the company, according to CNET . Pendleton is credited with creating Samsung’s famous “Next Big Thing” campaign, which took aim at the company’s rivals while highlighting the benefits of its own mobile lineup. The ads were smart, terse, and ultimately helped raise the awareness of Samsung’s brand as a major smartphone maker here in the U.S. It’s unclear why Pendleton left, but it’s being reported that Samsung executives became dissatisfied with the campaign’s recent success, even going so far as auditing the mobile division’s Dallas headquarters. It seems you can only use the Next Big Thing tagline so many times; the commercials have taken a decidedly different turn over the past few months, focusing on design, functionality and features rather than bashing Samsung competitors. The timing, I suppose, seems appropriate given that Samsung has just unveiled two new flagships, the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge. Samsung is clearly ...

Star Wars: Battlefront will not have classes

See full gallery on TechnoBuffalo When it comes time to pick your gear and weaponry in DICE’s upcoming relaunch of  Star Wars: Battlefront , you won’t be sifting through classes or class-specific stuff. That’s because the new  Battlefront has no class. I don’t mean that in a belch during dinner at a fancy restaurant kind of way, either. I mean you won’t be picking stuff like Engineer, Assault or Support before you roll onto the battlefield. In an interview with OXM , as summed up by the magazine’s sister site  Games Radar , Design Director Niklas Fegraeus indicated that classes are out. You’ll be able to pick and choose between unlocked weapons and gear freely and build to your own style. Furthermore, Fegraeus also indicated that  Battlefront will not feature the five-person squad feature that  Battlefield  offers. Instead, players will run as partners, a group of two system that lets players stick together, appear on one another’s HUDs and spawn besi...
