Hilarious New Easter Eggs Found in Black Panther

Like any Marvel fan with too much time on their hands, I was rewatching Black Panther when I noticed the interesting Wakandan text in the background of many of the scenes. Now, translation keys for the Wakandan alphabet were available online even around the time the main trailer was released, but when I tried translating one of the signs, I just got "HIJKL." Which spells nothing. Absolutely nothing.
But this time, I decided to give it another go. I started with the writing on the shoes Shuri built for T'Challa, and what I found was pretty interesting. Check out my video below:

So please, join me in the hunt for more translation Easter eggs in Black Panther! I used this key someone posted on Imgur, which came from an official behind-the-scenes booklet Brisk Tea released. Happy hunting, and Wakanda Forever.

Whatever Happened to Tarantino's Luke Cage Movie?

I'm not necessarily a die-hard fan of Tarantino (although Django Unchained was fantastic), but of all of Hollywood's tales of lost films, this is one of the most intriguing. In the interview, Tarantino said he would have liked to have cast Laurence Fishburne as Luke, which would have been amazing given Fishburne's versatility as an actor and Luke Cage's penchant for combining comedy with drama. Tarantino's comic-loving friends, however, thought Wesley Snipes would make a better Luke Cage, given his physique, and this frustrated Tarantino so much that he decided his efforts would be better spent creating original material than adapting existing characters. But what would his version have looked like, anyway...

I Watched The Cancelled 'Aquaman' TV Pilot, and It Sure Is Something

The Superman origin series Smallville was changing the face of superhero television, and its creators Al Gough and Miles Millar were thinking about possibilities for other DC Comics adaptations. After the successful introduction of Aquaman in season 5, they decided to give him his own series. The show wouldn't be a spinoff of Smallville, but it would have a similar style. (I'll probably do another post about why this series never got off the ground.) The CW rejected the pilot, but Warner Bros. eventually released the single episode on iTunes. So, I forked over $1.99 and watched this thing. And boy, do I have some thoughts. (I'm gonna spoil the whole thing, so if you plan on watc...

Whatever Happened to 'Gotham High'?

The DC Multiverse is full of elseworlds. What if baby Superman landed in the Soviet Union? What if the Flash went back in time to save his mother? But one of the most intriguing premises remains to be answered: W hat if Batman and his rogues gallery all went to the same high school? Enter Gotham High , a cancelled animated series by Jeffrey Thomas and Celeste Green. Photo courtesy Jeff and Celeste! Blog While the idea of combining the usual grittiness of the Batman mythos with what looks almost like an animated Freaks and Geeks might be a divisive idea, it could have been really interesting. The concept art is incredible -- especially those character designs on Bruce, Harley, and Killer Croc -- and the DC execs knew it. In fact, Thomas explained in a blog post , "[W]e were approached to create a spec series based off of an old drawing of mine that we then sent to DC," which is shown below. Photo courtesy Jef...
