This Footage of Dan Stevens Filming Beauty and the Beast in a CGI Suit Is Glorious
The dance scenes in Beauty and the Beast were so magical they captivated audiences across the globe. So many girls wanted to be Belle even though she was dancing with a Beast. Emma Watson made it look so natural and effortless as she glided across the dance floor with a longing look in her eyes. But what we couldn't see was her actual dance partner.

Suicide Squad Main Villain Will Be Never-Before Seen...
There's some real intrigue from fans of the comic-book genre in what can be brought to life on the big screen when adapting a property like Suicide Squad. It isn't uncommon for villainous anti-heroes to be taking the place of titular roles in films (i.e. Marvel's Deadpool) and now Suicide Squad is the next comic-book property to be adapted into a cinematic medium.

In-depth Review of Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice
Man of Steel(2014) can be considered the first entry into the DC'EU but today's Dawn of Justice is the film that will tie together the future of DC' cinema. The next films to take place are Wonder Woman and Justice League-Part 1 in 2017, then followed by a Flash, Cyborg, Aquaman movie, and Justice League-Part 2; all a part of the future DC' Expanded Universe. Those films are all dependent on the success of Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice, and how it does domestically and internationally in the box office. Early reviews of the film have set low expectations in terms of the monetary success of the film. The predicted budget of Dawn of Justice was said to be at least $400 million requiring an $800 million total to make anything back on the film. Opening day is the make or break day for a movie to determine the future of its popularity, success, and sequel opportunities. There is also reason to believe that the failure of Dawn of Justice might call for the shutdown of Justice League-Part 1. But there is the matter of Wonder Woman(2017) which has already completed production. But the likeliness of B.v.S. Dawn of Justice performing horribly domestically or internationally is very low. Critic review will change once fan reaction becomes an outcry for critics to stop horribly rating films based on their own personal bias. That is what it comes down to, a bias against the film for whatever reason. Whether it be the casting selection, the tone, the genre, or one specific aspect, presumptuous critical reviews on Dawn of Justice all leaned toward the film not meeting expectations regardless of how excellent the content was portrayed on-screen. Still, the film has already surpassed expectations by beating the early review ratings on the quality of the film. Expectations being met, the cast of the film did great in their roles. Those who doubted Ben Affleck's acting chops was sorely proven wrong by his new take on Batman. Of course it was director, David Ayer's direction that pointed Affleck in the right direction but it was Affleck himself that brought the Batman to life on the big screen. Gal Gadot also shined as Wonder Woman, she wasn't given much dialogue but her presence was definitely felt through out the film. Wonder Woman/Diana Prince had one of the biggest scenes whilst going head to head with Doomsday. And Jesse Eisenberg's role as Lex Luthor was the most controversial; the role was a good fit for the actor but the eccentricity necessary to portray a character like Lex Luthor needs to bring with it a finesse that Eisenberg lacked in this role. Aside from the rating based opinion, there was much more entertaining quality in Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice to discuss than critics lead on to believe.

Will Ben Affleck Pass the Mantle of Batman in Justice League-Part One?
There's a lot of buzz around the DC' Expanded Universe right now as Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice just premiered. It is the first film to begin tying together a collective universe for DC', after Man of Steel(2014) that is. Man of Steel introduced the world to Clark Kent/Superman fighting an angered General Zod, causing serious destruction and cataclysm in Metropolis leaving many casualties. Dawn of Justice addresses those events and how the acknowledgement of Superman's existence in Man of Steel(2014) begins the world-wide conflict of what the world can do in light of these godly beings existing among them; emphasizing the idea that any one of these beings could destroy everything at a sudden whim. The film constantly deals with the matter of Superman existing among them, but once that concern is put to rest with the death of Superman, an important repercussion of Superman dying has come to pass. That consequence has to do with Batman taking the place of Superman in light of other potential threats heading toward earth. Batman has no otherworldly power to speak of, he has discernible attributes which have always made him a worthy superhero but nothing in comparison to what Superman brings to the table. And Ben Affleck's version of Bruce Wayne/Batman is aged, that is close to hanging up his cowl, though Bruce Wayne hanging up the cowl doesn't mean he's not an important member of the Justice League in a supporting role. The imminent threats heading towards Earth were teased in Bruce Wayne's dream sequence of an post-apocalyptic earth run by Darkseid and Superman as his enforcer, as well as the information of Zod's archive being available to Lex Luthor who could have learned of the 100,000 worlds worth of knowledge in the archive.(sidenote: DC' Comic history has Kryptonian archives and/or alien archives of other worlds being the root for Braniac's creation; the compilation of information is moderated by an artificial intelligence that looks for other worlds, to absorb all the information available on the planet while assimilating the information into its own artificial intelligence.) Whether either of these events are foreshadowing the future of DC' or not, there'll definitely be some upcoming threats to the forming Justice League. Bruce Wayne may not be equipped to handle these threats as Batman and could be forced to pass the mantle of the Batman to a worthy successor in future films.
