Having already taken in several fine superhero movies in 2018 alone, I must confess I'm excited to realize that Venom is next on the docket. Controversial as the decision to give Eddie Brock his own flick that's completely free of Spider-Man has proven to be, that doesn't change how I think this film looks pretty badass. Really, have many people just put their complaints aside and thought about how this thing may actually turn out well?
In most cases, comic book readers debate over which hero would win in a fistfight, but one argument that's endured for decades has been that of who would reach the finish line first in a race between The Flash and Superman. Of course, this has been explored in everything from comics themselves to an episode of Superman: The Animated Series. Well, the mid-credits scene in Justice League did leave the victor to our imaginations, but let's not forget about when Smallville showed Bart Allen (yes, Bart) leaving Clark Kent in the dust.
Ever since the DC Universe streaming service and the various series comprising it were announced, fans have been wondering if it'll crossover with the Arrowverse, as well as questioning if the entities occupy the same space. Based on the red tape alone, our earliest of assumptions says it won't happen because this platform and The CW are separate beasts.
Though Doom Patrol won't be leading the charge once Warner Bros. finally rolls out the DC Universe streaming service later this year, the series centering on a band of superpowered misfits has still been garnering its share of attention as of late. After all, it should be quite intriguing to see how the gang factors into the live action Titans show to precede it, and how it'll spinoff from that.
While many of us may think being an actor would be the coolest job in the world - and it very well may be - it can be easy to overlook the less glamorous moments that come with the territory. Don't forget, these folks often have to work long hours and possibly endure some not so comfortable moments during the pre-production process.
Slowly but surely, we’re learning more about what to expect from the upcoming Aquaman solo film when it comes to how the major players will appear. I mean, Justice League gave us a good idea of what’s in store for Jason Momoa’s Arthur Curry and Amber Heard’s Mera’s respective fashions, but it wasn’t until last month that we knew what Nicole Kidman’s Queen Atlanna, Patrick Wilson's Ocean Master and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II’s Black Manta looked like.
Being someone who owns each and every DC Universe animated movie, I can’t help but feel how the line is coming full circle.
Back in 2007, Superman: Doomsday began the party by telling a truncated account of the Man of Steel’s demise and resurrection. Awesome as that flick was, I can’t wait to see the story expanded into two films, those being The Death of Superman and Reign of the Supermen, the latter of which will debut in 2019.
About a year ago at this time, word began circulating that massive reshoots on Justice League were well underway, a story which many devout fanboys said was concocted by us in the evil media. Then, once the movie finally arrived, it became apparent to all that pretty much everything making it into the final product had been shot by Joss Whedon, barring the main action pieces. As such, demand for the Zack Snyder cut remains a hot topic online.
If you possessed any doubt that Hollywood had kicked its remake fever, one need only simply look toward The Grudge as the latest example proving this malady won't end anytime soon. Actually, I'd say the horror genre is mostly responsible for the trend spreading its tendrils throughout Tinseltown, but that's a discussion for another day.
Having treated us to what were arguably some of the best superhero video games of all time in the form of the Batman: Arkham series (well, the three main entries, at least), it's understandable that many fans remain chomping at the bit for the hallowed development team known as Rocksteady to tackle the Dark Knight yet again - or even some other prominent DC characters.
