Opinion: Why Venom Should Be the Spider-Man of Sony’s Marvel Universe
No matter if you are in camp “hype” or camp “I hope this bomb,” it does not change the fact that there has been a controversy about this since day one. I’m of course talking about the idea of giving Venom an origin separate to Spider-Man. As a fan of comic books in general, I have to admit that I’m in the camp of why? Why can’t they do that? If anything, I think you could cover some interesting areas with Venom without connecting to a Spider-Man alter ego. Before you attack me with your nuclear bombs, pitchforks or what have you, allow me to explain. With the expected absorption of…

Opinion: 5 Comic Book Characters That Tom Hanks Can Play
Back in 2013, Tom Hanks said in an interview that he wants to get a role in a comic book movie. Five years later, and that has yet to happen. Because of this, I need to ask something. Why, and how? It’s not like Hanks is an unknown D-list actor coming out of nowhere. Because of this, an editorial has to be made to get the word out. Tom Hanks needs to be in a comic book movie. So, we have five ideas. 5. Batman/Thomas WayneWhen I first heard Hanks say that he wanted to play Batman, I first laughed a little considering it felt no way that would work,…

VENOM: An Interview with the Director
In a couple of weeks, Venom enters the theater screens. People seem to be quite mixed about it, mostly because of the lack of Spider-Man. I’m looking forward to this, and happy about no Spider-Man (as far as we know right now) but that’s a post for another time. If you hunger for more information, I have some good news for you. Fandango recently interviewed the movie’s director. He talked about an aspect that makes me very excited about the film. In case, you did not know, one of the major influence. They approach the movie as a werewolf movie. How the movie An American Werewolf in London was an…

SUPERGIRL: Potential Story Details, Villain
No matter your thoughts about the potential for a Supergirl movie, it clearly is going to happen by the looks of it. While we have no idea who’s playing her, we might have some story nuggets. According to Superbromovies’ DanielRPK, the movies appear to go half/half. According to him, the movie is going to spend a good chunk of it on Krypton and a good chunk on earth, with the time period being the 1970s. The villain? That’s apparently going to be Brainiac. What do you think about this? Comment below and let us know, or let us know on any social media site, @WOBAMEnt. Source: Discussing Film

Opinion: The POKEMON Anime Needs a Reboot and Ash Should Retire
No, I don’t think they should stop doing a Pokémon anime or movies for that matter. The series is such a big cash cow that I can’t blame The Pokémon Company for keep on doing this. But Ash is a character that has met his “best before date” years ago. I’ve had this feeling for years, but it got abundantly clear when I watched a movie called Pokémon: Clash of Ages. It’s a movie that starts off fairly strong but loses its focus faster than a speeding bullet as soon as Ash and his friends get into the picture. How are they introduced you might ask? They happen to be…

JUMP FORCE Adds Yugi from YU-GI-OH!
Do you love card games? Do you love fighting games? Do you love anime? If you said yes to all three, then I have some good news for you. Yugi, from the card loving franchise Yu-Gi-Oh!, is joining Jump Force, Shonen Jump’s answer to Super Smash Bros. Our card wielding hero joins the likes of Son Goku from Dragon Ball, Luffy from One Piece, Naruto from Naruto, Ichigo from Bleach, and Gon from Hunter x Hunter. Jump Force is said to be released on Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC next year. No word on a Switch version, but considering Dragon Ball Fighter Z came out later on the Nintendo Switch…you get the drill.…

Shane West Joins GOTHAM Season 5 in Villainous Role
Gotham seems to be a show that you either love or hate. Everywhere, from YouTube to social media, the only reactions to the show I see is either “this is the best show ever” or “I hate this ….. show.” I’ve yet to find anyone that seems to be in the middle with its taste. Anyway, with it gearing up to its final season, Gotham seems to have added yet another villain to its roster. Enter Shane West, who, according to Deadline, is playing Eduardo Dorrance which is an old war buddy of Jim Gordon (played by Ben McKenzie.). Any big fan of Batman lore more than likely recognizes that…

SWAMP THING Writer Teases Costume and Hard R-Rated Approach
For you that are unaware, DC Comics’ upcoming Swamp Thing show and recent Conjuring spinoff The Nun share screenwriters. But I guess that’s Nun of my business. During an interview with /Film, Gary Dauberman talks about Swamp Thing among some other stuff. He confirms that, just like Titans, the show will be rated R (and a hard one at that). They want to try and push it as hard as they can. He also confirmed that Alan Moore’s run of the creature is their main inspiration, and he mentioned that the creature will not be CGI but an actual suit. What do you think about this? Comment below and let…

Film Review: Bleach (2018)
Just like how we in the west love to adapt comic books, Japan loves to adapt their mangas. So I guess it was a matter of time that Bleach got the treatment. For those who are unaware, Bleach is a manga that started in 2001, created by Tite Kubo. The story follows the human Ichigo Kurosaki, whose life changes when the soul reaper Rukia visits his home. In the near future I will be covering the Bleach anime for WOBAM, and I’m aiming to start around Halloween for that. With that said, let’s start the movie review. Sweet Christmas. After the fiasco that was the Attack on Titan movies, as…
