Merchandise Sales Settle Whether Batman is Better Than Superman
According to a new Google Survey, 65% of people prefer Batman over Superman.
The survey, conducted by online retailer Zulily offers several other interesting insights. Though The Last Son of Krypton loses out to The Dark Knight, Supergirl merchandise is still more popular than Batgirl merchandise.
On that note, the same survey also indicated that a whopping 78% of participants, about half of all women and a third of all men, feel there aren't enough toys for female superheroes. Star Wars: The Force Awakens director J.J. Abrams certainly felt that was the case too.
Spider-Man Spin-Off Venom Revived
The Spider-Man spin-off film Venom is back in development at Sony Pictures.
There was a time, not that long ago, when Sony was planning several Spider-Man spin-offs. Then Amazing Spider-Man 2 happened, and the studio’s execs decided to join with Marvel and share the character of Peter Parker. When the Marvel/Sony alliance happened last year, it was clear that the proposed Spidey spin-offs were all on hold at best (and cancelled at worst -- sorry Young Aunt May movie).

Reeves Shreds Training Course in Prep for John Wick 2
If this new video is any indication, Keanu Reeves may not even need a stunt double for John Wick: Chapter 2.
The video, released by Taran Tactical Innovations on Facebook, showcases "The One" shredding up a training course, swapping from an AR-15 rifle to a semiautomatic pistol and then to a semiautomatic shotgun with ease. Check out the video below:
Of course, the 51-year-old Reeves did most of his own stunts in the first John Wick anyway, but this video proves just how much he can really do.
Hopefully the training pays off for Reeves, who recently said that the action in John Wick 2 will take the franchise to the next level, calling it a "third degree black belt."
