Brother Voodoo and Dr. Occult

 

I hope everyone is managing  to give Halloween to the kids in some way today.  You only get a handful of Halloweens during your childhood, and this is one that actually falls on a Saturday.  It would be a shame to just cancel it altogether and hopefully everyone will be able to enjoy the spooky holiday safely.  

Dr. Occult and Dick Tracy

Before Superman came around and began the costumed hero movement, a trench coat and fedora seemed to be the apparel of choice for fictional crimefighters.  I can understand why, it is a pretty cool look.  I don'y know how practical it was, though.  I used to wear a trench coat, and they are not easy to run in, let alone engage in fisticuffs.  Plus, I have to imagine those hats would fall off in the midst of battle.  

Doctor Strange and Doctor Occult

The first images of Benedict Cumberbatch in full Doctor Strange garb and the sets he will inhabit have been released, and I must say that he looks even better than I was hoping he would in the role.  The details are all correct as well, from the Eye of Agomotto to his signature window in the Sanctum Sanctorum.  So, they have the visuals right - if the story and performances are up to par, this could be very cool indeed.
