Early buzz on Denzel Washington’s reunion with Training Day director Antoine Fuqua for The Equalizer has been so good that Columbia Pictures already approved a sequel, and the latest television spot for the film offers an indication of why everyone is so high on the film with a hard-hitting preview that also offers up a clip from Eminem’s upcoming single, “Guts Over Fear.”

A big-screen version of the popular ’80s series that cast Edward Woodward as a former special agent who uses his unique set of skills to help people in dire need, the new film puts Washington in the title role as a man who intends to put his bloody past behind him, only to call upon his deadly skills once again when he meets an innocent girl caught up with violent Russian gangsters. In the new preview for the film, we get a peek at what drives Washington’s character, McCall, to come out of retirement and exact vengeance on the gangsters and criminals that terrorize the people around him.

The television spot for The Equalizer also features a short clip from the appropriately titled “Guts Over Fear,” as performed by Eminem and Sia. The song will be officially released August 25, a month before The Equalizer hits theaters.

Along with Washington, The Equalizer stars Marton Csokas, Chloë Grace Moretz, David Harbour, Bill Pullman, and Melissa Leo. The film premieres September 26.

10 best Batman stories ever, ranked

Batman Year One cover

Bounding from rooftop to rooftop, the Dark Knight never misses his mark. He operates like a well-oiled machine tracking bad guys, beating them to a bloody pulp, and throwing them in the slammer - or Arkham Asylum should they be anyone of Gotham's notable supervillains. As the brainchild of Bob Kane and Bill Finger, an artist and writer duo, Batman has been pounding the pavement of Gotham ever since his debut in Detective Comics in 1939. He's undergone a number of changes since his original conception ultimately becoming the brooding powerhouse we know today.

Most understand the basic tenants of Batman these days. His parents were murdered before his young eyes leading him down this path of personal vindication and pursuit of justice. Batman, in most iterations, never resorts to killing -- the one crime that separates his outlaw vigilante operations from the real criminals. Of course, it wasn't always that way. In Batman's earliest days, he had no qualms about ending the lives of baddies on the streets. Even now, some stories and films like Tim Burton's gothic take on the character depict him looking on with cold and uncaring glares as criminals meet their end. Regardless, Batman is mostly a well-established hero simply seeking justice and there are countless stories of the Caped Crusader. Let's take a look at the best among them.
