So as you may know, if you follow this blog, I am very excited for the new Star Trek film, Star Trek Into Darkness. I have been working on this blog post for a couple of weeks, and now it may be totally irrelevant due to the latest trailer.: As you can see they call him a top agent, so he's some sort of ex-Starfleet member. Now I had a different theory as to who he was and here it is, for purely speculative purposes.  The mystery swirling about the internet is around the character of the film's villain, played by break out star of the BBC's Sherlock, Benedict Cumberbatch. I have not been particularly interested traditionally in speculating on who he could be. However, with the film not coming out till May the wait is killing me and I must do something to pass the time. First off. Why? Why should we care and speculate at who Mr. Cumberbatch will be playing in this film?

Comic By Comic has a great post about celebing up the Marvel Universe. Check it out then return for my two cents. I totallly agree with all of Rich's points, he's got the archetypes right and it's interesting that this really can't work on a total universe wide scale with DC like it could with marvel. Marvel comics has always had the aspect to its universe that there is a public at large and it may not fall in love with superheroes the way that they do in Metropolis. The best example of using celbrity in superhero comics is Peter Milligan and Mike Allred's X-Statix. Which as I have said before is one of my favorite comic runs ever. This book really looks at the superhero life as more celebrity driven than heroic. What no one ever talks about though is the celebrity associated with villainy. How would the world deal with some one like the Shocker or Rhino as a role model for troubled youth? Would Hank Pym go on the surreal life? Does America still ...

OMFG! This is the most supercool news like ever . I have never been so hyped just from a strange quirky concept idea. I mean Ollie Queen, who if I had a time machine would be played by a young Kurt Russell, in jail with DC supervillains is bad ass in a million ways. SUPERMAX!!! Who will play the Joker, Ledger's dead? Could I see James Franco or Sam Rockwell ? Also can the main villain be Captain Nazi played by Daniel Craig or Neil Patrick Harris or even better Deathstroke aka Slade Wilson played by Ron Perlman or Clint Eastwood and Luthor played by Clancy Brown or Micheal Rosenbaum ? Could this be the greatest movie ever. As good as Con-Air!!!
