We all know that everyone’s favorite shell-kicking heroes are making their way back to the big screen, and there’s been a lot of mixed reactions. I, for one, am super amped to see a live-action Turtles movie. It looks like director Jonathan Liebesman has got the right tone for the film by blending the dark and the humorous. Below, a bit more of the darker side as we get four new character posters. Check out the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as they get ‘weapons ready.’
