This Week in Geek: Early March

Less than timely, but let's have a look at the biggest happenings of the nerd world, this week, in geek!

Title of the new Star Wars spinoff revealed!
The first Star Wars spinoff film has finally been announced, with an official title of Rogue One! This has created a good bit of fandom buzz, as 'Rogue One' was the callsign of Wedge Antilles, a minor character from the original trilogy who was part of a popular video game spin-off in the 90's.

New Wonder Woman costume revealed!
DC reveals the latest of Wonder Woman's costumes. She seems to be in a cycle as of late- DC tries to move away from the classic one-piece look with a more 'modern' design, fans react in disgust, and DC moves back to the one piece. When DC will realize the one-piece just works is not evident.

Tim Burton to direct a live-action Dumbo
I take this as very clear proof  Disney's live-action studios operate largely on throwing darts at a wall filled with things they own and pulling directors from a hat. It's the only thing that could possibly explain the idea of Dumbo in live-action, much less from Tim Burton.

First look at TV's Supergirl
So, the first picture is out of Melissa Benoist as Supergirl for the upcoming TV series. All I can really say is, well, that's Supergirl. And that is not a bad thing- in fact, it's great. It means they've kept enough of the costume that it's pure, iconic Supergirl look. Yes, it's mildly desaturated, but that might be lighting messing with the image- it's happened before. So the hopes reach higher for the Maid of  Might. Here's hoping we're not let down.
