“There is only dark, my friend.” – Alejandro

In the turbulent area between the Mexico-U.S. border, idealistic FBI agent Kate Macer (Emily Blunt) is enlisted by a big-shot government liaison (Josh Brolin) to join an elite task for and disrupt the powerful Juárez Cartel.

Led by a Colombian operative known only as Alejandro (Benicio Del Toro), the team sets out on a covert black-ops mission that forces Kate to break the rules in her pursuit of justice.

Directed by Denis Villeneuve (Prisoners, Incendies), Sicario is a searing crime-thriller about consequentialism; about choices. Do the ends justify the means? If we do immoral things to achieve a virtuous goal, can we still call ourselves the good guys? Or are our hearts darkened beyond repair?

Marvel has dominated the entertainment world in the past decade with it’s MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe), including blockbusters like the Avengers films and Guardians of the Galaxy, while DC has been a distant also-ran. But this year at SDCC, DC is building serious momentum for a run at toppling Marvel on top the comics foodchain. Kind of appropriate that the middle letters of SDCC are “DC” as we saw the new Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice trailer, footage of the Suicide Squad, and panels for their three hit TV shows, Gotham, Arrow and The Flash… did I say three… soon to be four as Arrow and Flash characters will spinoff into DC’s Legends of Tomorrow debuting in 2016.

Check out the incredible video below.

CW’s mounting DC TV Universe success continues on. With shows like Arrow and The Flash bringing in new heroes and villains, it was only a matter of time before the Universe expanded with their own show. The network’s latest superhero property is Legends of Tomorrow, with a brand new trailer introducing all sorts of new heroes and villains from past and present. If you’ve been following both shows religiously, then you will notice the appearance of Caity Lotz, who will sort of reprise her character from Arrow, only under a different color.

Check out the first trailer for DC’s Legends of Tomorrow below.

The CW is trying to corner the superhero market, and totally dominate the crossover trend. Already mixing and matching actors between Arrow and its spinoff The Flash, The CW ordered the series for its 2015-16 season, cementing the crossover utopia.

Called Legends Of Tomorrow, Rip Hunter, time traveling extraordinaire, puts together a band of super and not so superheroes (ok – villains), to save the planet in its current existence, its existence through time, and time itself.

I may explode at how awesome this video is. The “Superhero Fight Club” features The CW TV series superheroes and starts with The Flash (Grant Gustin) and the Arrow (Stephen Amell) getting in an elevator and riding to the bottom (as an excited fan with a Palmer Technologies box tries to talk to them).

Arrow: “Look. You’re part of the club now so I thought you deserved a proper initiation.” Presses the skull and crossbones button. “Just remember. This club has only one rule… There are no rules!”
