Snake Eyes takes aim in this pic from G.I. Joe Retaliation

Snake-Eyes, probably one of the most popular “badass” characters in pop culture; He’s mysterious, wears a knight-visor mask, has a pet wolf named Timber, and a fondness for Uzi’s.  Oh, and he’s a ninja.  Put that in a blender and hit puree and you’ll get…well, you’ll get nothing because you don’t put ninjas in blenders.  You’ll see a puff of smoke, hear a metallic slice, and, oh yes, that’s your head toppling to the floor.

Played by Darth Maul himself, Ray Park, Snake-Eyes is the only character that they almost got right in the first film, which really isn’t that hard. See paragraph above. With that said, here is Snake-Eyes, baddest ninja of them all, from G.I. JOE: RETALIATION:

G.I. Joe: Retaliation, like many of the films being released this summer, is shaping up to be a real contender.  Never, in a million years, would I have expected the director of the STEP UP dance films to deliver a G.I. Joe film that paid true homage to the source material.  With everything I’ve seen, heard, and read, this film seems like it will deliver on the lore of the Joe’s of the 80’s that so many of use grew up with. 

G.I. JOE: RETALIATION opens on June 22, 2012
