Squirrel Girl Vs. Catwoman

 

I lot of times I will pair characters together on this blog because I feel that they would get along and work well together.  This is a case in which the opposite is true.  I imagine that Selina Kyle would have no patience for a squirrel-themed hero.

Nightwing and Mockingbird

 

Out of all of DC's heroes, I think Nightwing would make a great recruit for S.H.I.E.L.D.  He's got the skills that Batman taught him, and is comfortable working within a team as well.  He's even worked in law enforcement before, so this might be a natural step.

Zatanna and Brother Voodoo

I'd heard of  a couple of live action features starring Zatanna in the past few years - a solo film and a Justice League Dark movie - but with all of the restructuring going on at Warner Bros/Discovery, I don't believe either is moving forward at the moment.  The solo film was to be straight to streaming, which they are trying to get away from and the JLD movie was part of a production deal with JJ Abrams that hasn't

seemed to have really worked out.  I'm guessing we see Brother Voodoo on the big screen first.

Steel and Photon

 

I am really looking forward to seeing Monica Rambeau return in The Marvels.  I'm hoping she uses Photon as a code name (it was her mother's call sign in the air force after all) rather than Spectrum.  Actually, my true preference would be for her to take over the name of Captain Marvel by the film's end.  I never liked that she lost the title in the comics.

Ms. Marvel and Captain Marvel Jr. in: "Sivana's Pet Sentinel!"

 

The first trailer for the Disney+ Ms. Marvel series has been released, and it looks fun.  The show seems to be targeting a slightly younger demographic, sort of a John Hughes-type high school comedy mixed with the MCU.  That approach has worked for the Spider-Man movies, so it should do well here.  Her powers seem to be altered from the comics, I'm guessing so as not to be too similar to Mr. Fantastic.  

Ms. Marvel and Captain Marvel Jr. first met in STF #3034...

Hercules and Vixen in: "The Olympian Has Fallen!"

Presenting the second meeting between two heroes that really need to join their respective cinematic universes.  Vixen was realized well on TV, but they didn't do enough with her character.  Marvel's Hercules has yet to make a live action appearance, and that is something that must be rectified.

Hercules first became attracted to Vixen in STF #3014... Will he be able to win her over?  Only time (and future covers) will tell...

 

Adam Strange and Star-Lord (Part Two)

Because I keep showing it to people, I have watched Guardians of the Galaxy five times now, and I have thoroughly enjoyed it each time. I am especially impressed by Chris Pratt's performance as Peter Quill.  He created a character that is at once goofy, heroic, charming and sympathetic.  I look at the "dance off" scene, and it's hard to think of another actor that could have pulled that moment off so well. In a movie filled with CGI characters and sci-fi concepts, he still found a way to be the most interesting character to me.
