JUSTICE LEAGUE: J.K. Simmons talks Reshoots and Jim Gordon
J.K. Simmons has been back in the studio according to comicbookmovie.com. He recently did some Automated Dialogue Replacement (ADR) for Warner Brothers, so Justice League is going down to the wire, wanting this movie to be as perfect as it can be. Simmons also talked about his role in the movie, saying “Don’t blink and you’ll miss it”. His role is small, but he was obviously excited to work with Ben Affleck again in The Batman, in a hopefully bigger role. He said the dynamic between a weathered Batman and Commissioner Gordon will be interesting, versus the spring chickens we’ve seen in the past. Check us out @WatchtowerBabel to keep up…

SUICIDE SQUAD: Leto sticks to his Rule of Thumb
According to comicbook.com, Jared Leto has decided to not watch his performance in Suicide Squad. Leto has said that watching his own performances makes him self conscious, or prone to repeat his performances. Leto has said that he even hasn’t watched his Oscar winning performance in Dallas Buyers Club. He’ll break the rule for a few movies, like Requiem for a Dream, and Blade Runner 2049, but has decided for now, he won’t be watching the middling performance he gave in Suicide Squad. Personally I think he’s better off, but let us know how you feel about the movie by tweeting us @WatchtowerBabel.

SHAZAM! Audition Tape Suggests a Shazam Jr. Connection
Director David F. Sandberg‘s Shazam! is quickly moving toward production. Previously, we’ve reported on the Billy Batson casting process, the lighter tone Sandberg wishes to achieve, and the film’s working title. Now we have word on another character in the movie, thanks to an exclusive from Omega Underground. A recent audition tape from actor Brendan Heard (which has since been taken down) contained line reads for a character named “Frank.” Frank’s lines indicate a disability, which leads most to conclude that this audition is for none other than Freddy Freeman, aka Shazam Jr. In the comics, Freddy was saved by Captain Marvel while drowning in a lake. He had a crippled leg,…

Review: INHUMANS Episode 2: "Those Who Would Destroy Us"
Oh, the Inhumanity! “Those Who Would Destroy Us,” you sure are something. After the pilot split everyone up and deposited the royals in Hawaii, Sly Spy The Iron Fist Guy takes the show in a fish-out-of-water direction. Black Bolt is causing crashes, stealing suits, and totaling police cars. Medusa is hitchiking on a tour bus and rocking the shaved head look. Gorgon is palling around with surfer bros. Karnak falls off a cliff and looses his sense of direction. Crystal is locked in her apartment. Lockjaw is sleeping (seriously). And Maximus… schemes, and stuff. So… um… that’s the episode. And that’s the problem. Episode 1 made a point to set-up…

Review: INHUMANS Episode 1: "Behold… The Inhumans"
Ahhhh, Inhumans! You’ve had the bumpiest ride to screens both big and small.

Let’s find out… High from their perch on the moon, the Inhuman city of Attilan stands as a haven for Inhuman kind. Sorta. All is not well in the city, and unrest abounds…
