Action-Packed New Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out Of The Shadows Clip
Okay, bear with us on this one. You might start watching the clip below expecting a clip from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie sequel Out Of The Shadows and wonder why you’re watching a fight at a fancy dress roller disco. Don’t worry. That’s just some preamble from the Nickelodeon’s Kids Choice Awards, which then morphs into the clip. And what a clip it is. Whatever you think of these live-action Turtles films you have to admit there’s some mad, crazy action in there that’s almost an artform in itself, like classic Loony Tunes brought to life.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out Of The Shadows, starring Megan Fox, Will Arnett, Alan Ritchson, Noel Fisher, Pete Ploszek, Jeremy Howard, Stephen Amell, Tyler Perry, Laura Linney, Stephen ‘Sheamus’ Farrelly and Gary Anthony Williams, is released in the UK on 3 June.

Guardians Of The Gallery: Nordic Harry Potter, Dying Batman, Avengers Coke Cans & More
This week’s selection of great pics and vids that have been creating a buzz on the internet this week
••• This week the Pottermore Twitterfeed revealed details for four new schools of Wizardry and Witchcraft in Japan, central Africa, Brazil and North America. But Norwegian artist Even Amundsen has already created the Nordic branch of the magical franchise. Here are a few his characters for a school called Vølurheim. Where’s the Professor Of Troll Hunting? [via Nerd Approved]
••• Various US film and TV mags and websites this week were sent a mysterious package containing these six Avengers-emblazoned Coke cans a message saying, “02.07.16 – The Big Game Is Just the Beginning. Follow @CocaCola to watch the story unfold…” This obviously means that there’s going to be some kind of big new advert during this year’s Super Bowl, but as Screen Crush points out, it’s unlikely to be just another new trailer – after all Hulk isn’t in Captain America: Civil War (as far as we know). While we wait to find out we’re getting a little bit freaked by the Black Widow can. Can’t see many arachnophobes drinking out of that one.
••• Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol 2 director James Gunn Tweeted this pic of some of the main cast in rehearsals adding the message, “When someone’s screwing up a scene during rehearsals I show them Dave Bautista as an example of good acting.” If you’re wondering who the guy squatting down is, that’s Sean Gunn, James’s bro’ who does stand-in of Rocket Raccoon. Click on the image for a larger version.
••• From the artist who brought you Star Wars characters as classic Greek sculptures, Travis Durden, come these new collaborations with photographers on an evocative and moody set of images showing an imagined bleak future for Batman as the Dark Knight enter his twilight. “I wanted the final images as real as possible,” explains Durden, “as if Batman really spent time in these abandoned places.”
••• Just in case you do have feet like a Ninja Turtle, artists Hussain Almossawi and Quintin Williams have designed a pair of trainers just for you!
••• Although not quite the masterpiece that was the Batman V Superman trailer re-edited with George Reeves, Adam West and Lynda Carter footage we showed you earlier this week (“>see here) the version of the Suicide Squad trailer redone with cartoon footage is still well worth a look.
••• What if Tim Burton directed a bunch of Disney cartoon remakes? Artist Andrew Tarusov imagines they’d look very much like this. For some reason, we really the wallpaper in the 101 Dalmatians poster.
Guardians Of The Gallery: Christmas Groot, Strictly Doctor Who, Punisher Harpist & More
There’s a definite seasonal flavour to Buzz’s round-up of interesting, weird and cool pics and videos this week.
••• Guardians Of The Galaxy director James Gunn Instagrammed this fantastic Groot Chtistmas tree, created by WolfenM. You can see loads more on his Flickr.
••• Comic characters rarely age. Mr Fantastic actually looks like he’s grown younger over the years, though he may just be dyeing his hair these days. But what if they did age? That’s exactly what artist Eddie Liu has been pondering with these great portraits. Though quite why all his male DC characters have aged into distinguished-looking senior citizens while Wonder Woman has become Dot from EastEnders remains a mystery…
••• We thought Doctor Who had finished last Saturday, but there was a surprise extra episode on BBC One this Saturday night. It was very short and the Doctor had regenerated again into The Wanted’s Jay McGuinness but at least we know who’s playing the new companion now – Strictly Come Dancing’s Aliona Vilani.
••• Comic Book Resources has an occasional feature called “Shelf Porn” (we would explain the concept but the pictures speak for themselves) and the most recent entry was an absolute doozy. Sherry Konkus is a harpist and Punisher fan from Michigan, and she’s combined her two interests into a wonderfully bizarre display at her home. We just love the idea of Frank Castle sitting on a giant ball of wool…
••• A bunch of Star Wars: The Force Awakens stars took part in a Twitter Q&A to promote the film earlier this week. Nobody expected this would lead to a duet from Daisy Ridley and Oscar Isaac, but they spontaneously burst into a version of perennial favourite “Baby, It’s Cold Outside”. Maybe they thought they were on Hoth.
.@sherrilynling asks to Oscar and Daisy: can the two of you do a duet sometime? #TwitterAwakens pic.twitter.com/z6WkI3dXIa — Star Wars (@starwars) December 5, 2015
••• So who’s the fastest man alive? The Flash or Quicksilver? Marvel fans may not like the answer…
••• BOOM! Studios is launching its new Mighty Morphin’ Power Ranger series in January with a #0 issue. IGN this week revealed that every issue will have a Zord variant cover, starting with the Tyrannosaurus Zord. We know which set we’ll be collecting if they’re all as mighty as this.
••• This image is actually a couple of years old now, but we love the idea of TMNT Christmas tree baubles so much they may become the Wizard Of Oz of Guardians Of The Gallery, putting in an appearance every year. You can find out how to make them here…
••• After weeks of Star Wars-dominated Guardians Of The Gallery articles (is there a film coming out or something?) but this week there’s only one. A pair Hellcat muscle cars were pimped in the black-and-white uniform of a First Order Stormtrooper while a Viper ACR was repainted with a Kylo Ren-themed in a joint Star Wars/Fiat Chrysler publicity stunt. They toured the streets of LA over the weekend Fiat Chrysler encouraged Star Wars fans to post photos of themselves with the landspeeders… cars.
••• These are a late addition this week, added after we first went live with the feature, but they were too good to wait until next week to show you. Digital artist Allan Johnson shared a portfolio of his digital makeover of US dollars at Moviepilot [via ComicBook.com], replacing the faces of the US political luminaries with comic and movie characters.
