Safe
Directed by Boaz Yokin
Two outsiders, one a former hit for hire, the other a young prodigy who hates numbers. One fateful turn brings these strangers together, only to find them in a tangled web that involves more than what they see. At times it can be frantic action paced, and another it balances drama. Surprises me that Jason Statham can equal two parallel levels of storytelling very well. And the mystery is something worth keeping your eyes on.
UnKnown
Directed by Jaume Collet-Serra
Doctor Martin Harris is your typical traveller, with a beautiful wife, and a trip worth taking. All goes south when he loses his briefcase, and wind up in an accident. So things get better right? Nope way worse, he loses his identity, has no identification, literally he does not exist. Even worse is that band of people keep chasing him, and taking out others in the way. Only does he befriend a former german statsi, and the same taxicab driver that saved his life.
This is not your typical movie, watch it carefully and put the pieces together
If that doesn't convince you, it stars Liam Neeson, Diane Kruger, January Jones, and Frank Langella

Batwoman Vol.1 Hydrology
Art and story by JH Williams III and (secondary writer) W. Haden Blackman
The Other Side
Enter Kate Kane, a runner for hire / heroine of the underworld or voiceless populace of Gotham. Unknown to the topside city, she is a mysterious being that no one know unless in dire straights. Except a certain Dark Knight keeps a watchful eye over her actions depending on circumstances. Kate Kane is like no other that wields the Bat symbol, standing alone taking on evildoers in the shadows.
What makes her unique is her drive, past, present and future is her identity wrapped in mystery. Even GPD can't track her real ID, nor can the crime bosses tag her whereabouts. On top of that a mysterious entity is draining life force from the living and no one knows why.
Note: This is not a book for young eyes, its mature themed and contains a lot of graphic content. Very different aspects within this series really break it from the norm. Including the fact that Kate Kane is a lesbian (note - it is an aspect of her life only those closest know about her). Plus her father (a veteran) knows of her escapades, and it has to deal with her tragic past.
One thing is for certain, Batwoman will keep you glued to every page. don't miss it!

Catwoman vol.1 The Game
Written by Judd Winick
Art by Gulliem March
With Selina Kyle, her life as a Cat burglar was always about the rush. Never did it ever reconnect back to her home base, or hurt someone she cares about. Or did the times she ran into Batman (how does he do it?)
Now she's crossing paths with some of Gotham's finest, and nightmarish fiends. This tale takes Selina from her past and present, dealing with choices and obstacles she made along the way.
We learn of her past as a young thief on the streets, and finding shelter with a lady named Lola. A former showgirl, turned aid to those in need, and also helped others in the long run. Along the way, she begins to understand her former life is beginning to collide with her current one. Run ins with Bruce / Batman in some memorable ways. In addition, an array of new baddies are after our lady cat when a bungled assignment goes south (and it involve Gotham's finest).
Cleverly and smartly written, and sexy, sleek gorgeous art on every page.

Suicide Squad Vol. II Basilisk Rising
Written by Adam Glass
Art by Fernando Dagnino
(Covers by Ken Lashley & Rod Reis
Harley & Co.s big adventure!
Before the team was getting along till Harley lost her marbles, and planted Joker's mug on Deadshot. (who's been affected by the Joker Curse). It sounds weird, but it does have effects throughout this series. Not only does every choice have consequences, but the two end up working side by side (even against their team!) Things get even more messy when opponents wind up dead before they even declare victory. And Waller's "eyes" may also be deceiving her in the long run.
Regulus and other bad dudes
Turns out some baddies from the past have re-emerged on different sides. Deadshot's former identity was one of those that barely survived his last mission before his side by side team up with Harley and friends. Oddly enough he never got along with anyone before. Catching up with others, now on crosshairs creating alliances to take down Waller's armada of "peacekeepers". The biggest shift in gears is not knowing what side anyone is on, in volume I it was revealed that anyone could be "a mole".
Waller's true agenda
Playing out similarly like a Detective Comics tale, every page unfolds a clue towards where the true "villains" might be. But with everyone at one another's throats, some take the mantle in becoming leaders in the worst circumstances. Who lives, and who dies doesn't depend on guts or glory anymore, its built on trust whether they are the watcher, or the doer.

Batgirl Vol.2 (New 52) - Knightfall Descends
Written by Gail Simone
Art by Adrian Syaf, Ed Benes, and Vicente Cifuentes
(and Covers by Stanley "Artgerm" Lau)
When Barbara Gordon took the mantle of the cowl, she vowed to take a stand. Finding out the truth behind Batman's reason for being a hero, there was a time she took the gauntlet against her dad's wishes. Driven to make things better for her hometown, she found out a hidden truth and power behind the mask and cowl. Only for all of that life to be taken away by the Joker (years ago) *Note the intro issue in this collection retells Babs origins on becoming Batgirl, and her loss during "Death in the Family".
Fast forward to the present, Babs now encounters a new rogue set of characters led by a sinister character named "Knightfall". For those keeping track, there was another being carrying that moniker, a deranged psycho that took on the entire Bat family. With a spin on things, this new Knightfall turns out to be a woman, redeemed as part of Gotham's royalty with her own set of bodyguards. Given control and power, she pushes Babs to her limits, until she finds aid with Melody McKenna (a detective from her dad's team) and Batwoman (more on her later).
Batwoman - a mysterious being who take the mantle after the original died (see Batman RIP, and The Return of Bruce Wayne for details)
