Welcome to Collider’s Heroes, hosted by Jon Schnepp, with John Campea and special guest Robert Meyer Burnett. We bring you the latest news about the Cinematic World of Heroes and Villains! On this episode of Collider’s Heroes (Tuesday Dec 22nd, 2015) we discuss the following:
Batman v Superman International Trailer and Run time!
A new international german spot has dropped, cutting out the Doomsday/Wonder Woman Superfriends reveal, and instead highlighting the conflict and the battle between both Batman and Superman. A few new clips were also added, but with this spot comes the movies official running time of 2 hour and 31 minutes, 8 minutes longer than Man of Steel. What do you think about the film’s runtime?
Captain America Civil War interview with The Russo Brothers!
So the Russo Brothers spoke about how Captain America and Bucky are like brothers, who are bonded by their past and the only thing left from their past. They also mentioned that Cap will indeed be getting a new suit, his traditional chain mail outfit, and they again spoke about the newer younger Spiderman, and how can they contemporize his relationship with Aunt May?
Krysten Ritter for Jessica Jones season 2 and the Defenders?
Jessica Jones herself Krysten Ritter recently spoke positively about her hope to get a second season rolling for her character, saying there is lots of story left to tell with Jessica, and she would throw on the boots and leather jacket anytime. Do you think she’ll be in Luke Cage, Daredevil season 2, before she’s in the Defenders?
Kurt Russell might play Star Lord’s dad?!
Can we please make this happen, I mean it’s Kurt Russell. He has just rocked it with The Hateful Eight and Bone Tomahawk, and the list: Escape from New York, The Thing, Big Trouble in Little China, .I think the idea of using the original earthman Vance Astro, an astronaut who later became Major Victory would work with the time periods set up with young Peter Quill aka Star Lord. What do you think?

Flashback - Batman (1966)
The first feature Length Batman movie happened back in 1966, hitting theaters right after the final epsiode of the first televion season finished airing. America was hit with Batmania!!! starring Adam West as Bruce Wayne Batman, and Burt Ward as Robin. We had the rogues gallery represented by Ceasar Romero as The Joker, Burgess Meredith as the Penquin, Frank Gorshin as the Riddler, and Lee Meriwether as the Catwoman on screen, which was played by Julie Newmar and Eartha Kitt on the television series. This pop comedy styled film was written by Lorenzo Semple Jr,and directed by Leslie Martinson, who just turned 100 years old this year!! . This was the way the modern world looked at comic books, and superheroes in general, as comedic fluff entertainment, and what fluff it was! I saw the series on TV as little kid, and this version of Batman was so entertaining, so action packed, with wild colorful villains every episode, and I had a crush on Yvonne Craig as Batgirl! This was before comics entered the 70’s, and way before we got the grim and gritty dark knight detective. Let’s talk about nanananananana Batman!!!
Spotlight: Invincible
This week’s spotlight is on a superhero written by “The Walking Dead’s” own Robert Kirkman and artist Corey Walker, and the title is called “Invincible” about a high school kid who develops superhuman powers, finds out his dad is a super powered alien sent as a scout to prep a hostile takeover, and he must ultimately battle his dad, all the while falling in love and befriending all types of superpowered aliens and various superheroes and villains.Would this comic book series best make the translation to film or television?
