On Thursday, Batman v Superman: Corn of Butteryness* director Zack Snyder unveiled a pretty crappy and lazily put together little five second teaser on Twitter for the real teaser trailer which would get unveiled …
The very successful and very geektasttic Star Wars Celebration drew to a close in Anaheim, California last night, bringing to an end a weekend of pure Star Wars nirvana that began with that incredible The Force Awakens goodness.
