These days, it's certainly easy to argue that the TV side of things makes dreams reality more often than movies. Really, even though stories told on the small screen aren't afforded the budgets of their big screen brethren, they offer so much more in the way of character development, not to mention introducing heroes and villains we may not have seen otherwise.
If anything, the finale to Gotham's fourth season lived up to its name by taking inspiration from the classic No Man's Land story arc known to comic book readers. To put it succinctly, the destruction caused by Ra's al Ghul and Jeremiah Valeska has left the city in shambles, as it must now fend for itself.
As a longtime lover of The Shining (the novel, feature film and the TV miniseries), you'd better believe that I'm right there with those of you who've been seemingly waiting an eternity for a sequel on the silver screen. Fortunately, the gargantuan success of IT forced Hollywood to fast track an adaptation of Stephen King's 2013 novel, Doctor Sleep.
One thing I've learned in my time as a DC fan is that if an actor does an exceptionally well job of playing a certain character in either a movie, TV show or animated production, then there's a pretty good chance they'll be offered gigs in future endeavors. A recent example would have to be that of Sam Witwer, who debuted as Davis Bloome (the human side of Doomsday) on Smallville before later voicing Ocean Master in Justice League: Throne of Atlantis. And now, he's been hired as Supergirl season 4's big bad, Agent Liberty.
Being someone who owns every DC Universe animated movie, I can certainly remember when the line kicked off in 2007 with Superman: Doomsday. To this day, I love that one through and through, though I'm able to understand the most common complaint aimed in its direction: the flick just didn't adhere to the source material enough.
For some, hearing that Thanos somehow knew of Tony Stark's existence prior to the events witnessed in Avengers: Infinity War has been picking at their brains ever since the film stormed theaters this past spring. Personally, greater details such as Thor not chopping off the Mad Titan's arm in the third act were what bothered me, but that's a discussion for another day.
With Avengers: Infinity War's home video release looming, it's only natural for various clips and deleted scenes to make their way online. When it comes to the exhibit being discussed today, though, True Believers who dig one of Marvel's more recognizable power couples are really in for a treat.
Considering how long it’s been since Dwayne Johnson was first cast as Black Adam (2014, to be exact), you’d think he’d have played the character in at least one or two films by now. But when you factor in how plans concerning Worlds of DC change every time the wind blows in a different direction in Burbank, none can be too sure.
In this digital age, it's much easier for rumors to spread then ever before. Thus, urban legends surrounding various films seemingly grow by the day. Avengers: Infinity War, of course, was in no way immune to such things, which we'll discuss right now.
Though there are many topics to discuss when it comes to all that was witnessed in Avengers: Infinity War, such as the Red Skull's overdue return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, one thing people have been wondering about is why Thanos waited so long to gather the Infinity Stones.
