The New 52 hasn’t been a really big hit with me, I want to be honest with that right at the beginning. I was picking up Justice League, Aquaman, Batman, Green Lantern, and so on at the beginning.

Looper: The Animated Trailer
Pretty damn awesome. So, an animated trailer for the sci-fi, time traveling Looper has made it’s way on the ‘net, and it’s a piece of work.
