    Months after disappearing from the wrestling scene, CM Punk broke his silence about his departure from the WWE. Here's what happened: Shortly after walking out of WWE RAW the day after Royal Rumble on January, Vinnie Mac suspended him for two months. At the same time, Vinnie Mac announced to his stockholders that CM Punk was on a "sabbatical". CM Punk explained that he walked out due to health reasons. He was wrestling with broken ribs (courtesy of Ryback), a concussion, injured knees, and a fever for months. He was also diagnosed with an MRSA staph infection on his back, which WWE's doctors had ignored for months. The doctor that diagnosed him told him the staph infection should have killed him. On at least two occasions, CM Punk was sent back into the ring almost immediately after surgery. He also said that Ryback "took 20 years" off his life. To no surprise, CM Punk hated Triple H. He was furious when he was told he would face HHH at Wrestlemania XXX. Despite wrestling the Undertaker at WrestleMania 29, CM Punk was underpaid compared to everyone else on that card. CM Punk revealed that the WWE has no union to compensate injured wrestlers like the NFL does. CM Punk proposed to wear MMA-style shorts with sponsor logos on them to help increase revenue, but Vinnie mac shot it down on grounds of conflict of interest. Then he signed Brock Lesnar, who wears MMA shorts with sponsor logos. During his tenure as WWE Champion, CM Punk was offered to star in WWE Films' 12 Rounds 2. Before signing the contract, he noticed that the filming dates were the same as WWE's European tour. Then, without any notice, WWE announced that Randy Orton would star in 12 Rounds 2 instead of CM Punk. On the day of his wedding with AJ Lee, CM Punk received his termination notice from WWE for "breach of contract". In retaliation, he hired a lawyer to counter the WWE's claim. In the end, both parties agreed to a settlement. WWE feared CM Punk would jump ship to TNA, but CM Punk assured that he's completely done with wrestling.

    You should. It's a completely mind-blowing experience. As it's an independent film, there's no issue on who greenlit it; it's just a question on why people agreed to work with Tommy Wiseau on this.

    Batman: Assault on Arkham DC Comics/Warner Bros. Animation, 2014 Directed by Jay Oliva (Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, Justice League: War) and Ethan Spaulding (Avatar: The Last Airbender) Based upon characters created by Bob Kane (1915-1998), Bill Finger (1914-1974), and DC Comics. Running Time: 76 minutes Rated PG-13 for graphic violence, slight nudity, sexual situations, and strong language. Cast Kevin Conroy (THE animated Batman) as Bruce Wayne/Batman Neil McDonough (Dum Dum Dugan in Captain America: The First Avenger, M. Bison in Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li) as Floyd Lawton/Deadshot Hynden Walch as Dr. Harleen Quinzel/Harley Quinn Matthew Gray Gubler (Simon in Alvin and the Chipmunks) as Edward Nygma/Riddler Troy Baker (Joel in The Last of Us, Ocelot in Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain) as The Joker C. C. H. Pounder (Mo'at in Avatar, Angela in ER) as Amanda Waller Greg Ellis (Lt. Groves in Pirates of the Caribbean, Rocket Raccoon in Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes) as George Harkness/Captain Boomerang Giancarlo Esposito (Cassius Clay, Sr. in Ali, Ra's al Ghul in Son of Batman) as Eric Needham/Black Spider John DiMaggio (Crosshairs in Transformers: Age of Extinction, The Joker in Batman: Under the Red Hood) as Nanaue/King Shark Jennifer Hale (Elektra in Cowboy Bebop: The Movie, Starfire in Superman/Batman: Public Enemies) as Louise Lincoln/Killer Frost Nolan North (Raphael in TMNT, Ant-Man in Ultimate Avengers) as Anatoly Knyazev/KGBeast and Oswald Cobblepot/Penguin Chris Cox (Star-Lord in Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes, Deadshot in Batman: Arkham City) as Commissioner James Gordon Martin Jarvis as Alfred Pennyworth Christian Lanz as Jonathan Crane/Scarecrow Synopsis Batman barges in on a capture operation headed by government agent Amanda Waller and sends the Riddler back to Arkham Asylum. In response, Waller assembles Task Force X - a ragtag band of assassins, villains, and convicts assigned to sneak into Arkham and retrieve the Riddler's cane, which contains top-secret information about the Suicide Squad. Failure to cooperate will result in their self-destruction via explosives implanted in their necks. At the same time, the team must be careful not to attract the Dark Knight's attention. "Yahtzee!" Story: B At last, a full-length animated feature about DC's much talked-about antihero team Suicide Squad. But there's a catch: In order for DC to make quick bucks out of it, they marketed it as a Batman feature - despite the Caped Crusader not actually being the main focus of the story. In addition, it's a side-story to the acclaimed Batman: Arkham video game series. Assault on Arkham does a pretty good job at inserting humor between the main characters and having them interact with Batman and members of his Rogues Gallery. As with nearly all superhero or supervillain teams, there are tensions between members of Task Force X - especially between Deadshot and Captain Boomerang. There are even some Easter Eggs to look out for within Arkham. Compared to other DC animated features, this one borderlines on the R rating due to a lot of fan service, courtesy of Harley Quinn and Killer Frost. Animation: B- In contrast to Bruce Timm's iconic cartoon art, Assault on Arkham is drawn in a more realistic, comic book style. It's a case of love-it or hate-it, as it displays average Korean-made artwork and animation. The idea of Batman fighting a black-ops team in the beginning is great, but the execution leaves much to be desired due to erratic pacing and framerates. The battle between Batman and Task Force X is pretty intense, though. Soundtrack: C+ The background music by Robert J. Kral (Superman: Doomsday, Green Lantern: First Flight) is just that - background music, as it's generic and hardly noticeable throughout the film. The Bottom Line Despite not really having Batman most of the time, Batman: Assault on Arkham is a good rental for those who are itching to know more about the Suicide Squad before they make their big screen debut in 2016.

    Mr. White Returns Jesper Christensen to be James Bond villain for the third time Jesper Christensen has already pulled the strings of the criminal organization Quantum in the two James Bond films Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace. Now he once again stars in a James Bond movie, in his former role as the super villain Mr. White. He is in fact part of the team for the new James Bond film SPECTRE. The title of the film, which will be the 24th in the series of James Bond films, has today been published along with the film's cast. Again, it is British actor Daniel Craig, who heads the cast as the always well-dressed secret agent, while British director Sam Mendes, who directed Skyfall from 2012, the artistic main responsibility. About his involvement in the SPECTRE says Jesper Christensen to Euroman.dk: "I am looking forward to working with Sam Mendes and Daniel Craig. It is a truly exciting script and a very capable team. So it'll be fun." In addition to Daniel Craig and Jesper Christensen is Ralph Fiennes, Ben Whishaw, Naomie Harris, Rory Kinnear, Christoph Waltz, Léa Seydoux, Monica Bellucci, David Bautista and Andrew Scott in the cast.

    WB once cast Will Smith as James West, so what could go wrong?

    Hopefully, they'll do all four RWBY members. I'd love to have a Blake Belladonna figure in my collection.
