Having made a ton of money for Disney and Marvel Studios by directing two Guardians of the Galaxy flicks, one could say that James Gunn is currently cock of the walk. Still, he hasn't forgotten where he came from, and will soon return to the genre that introduced us to him, that being horror.
Even though I had nothing but good things to say about Black Lightning early on, I must say that I'm quite pleased to see the young series hold steady after seven episodes. I mean, not only has it emerged as one of the best things to happen to DC TV this season, but it's actually one of the shows that I most look forward to viewing each week.
When we think of the pop culture sensation that is the talking tree named Groot, there's only one phrase that comes to mind, that being "I am Groot." Having been expressed in a number of ways by Vin Diesel in a couple of films, the literal one hit wonder is either loved or hated by moviegoers and comic book readers alike.
While John Wesley Ship may not be the only actor to have enjoyed a prolific career in the superhero genre, he's one of the few to have embodied various characters pertaining to one specific icon. As you may recall, he played the Scarlet Speedster himself, Barry Allen, in the Flash TV show that aired back in 1990, before voicing Eobard Thawne AKA the Reverse-Flash on Batman: The Brave and the Bold years later.
In recent memory, a chunk of the Arrowverse fanbase has likened The Flash's Iris West to Arrow's Felicity Smoak, saying she's become just as annoying, and is now their least favorite character on the show. Personally, I harbor no ill will toward Iris or actress Candice Patton herself - it's just my belief that the writers are currently caught in a creative rut.
If you've been keeping up with the current season of Gotham and happen to also be a lover of Batman comics, then you're well aware of how the producers have borrowed generously from the source material in recent memory. Already, we've seen The Long Halloween and Year One lend their influence, with yet another classic storyline to feature the Dark Knight waiting in the wings.
If you thought that Karen Gillan was finished checking off boxes of top pop culture franchises to have starred in, well, you'd be wrong. Having already seriously boosted her geek cred by appearing in the likes of Doctor Who and Guardians of the Galaxy, the fan favorite actress seemingly has more landscapes to conquer.
Now that Kid Flash has officially joined the Waverider crew, we can begin looking forward to John Constantine's next appearance on Legends of Tomorrow. Actually, we do know that the beloved demonologist is confirmed for the season finale that's set to air next month, but let's not get too ahead of ourselves.
Aside from the fact that we haven’t seen Michael Myers on the big screen since 2009, there seems to be a multitude of reasons why we’re greatly looking forward to the next Halloween movie. Granted, we could talk about this all day, but a few of them are how it’ll ignore everything but the events of the original film, and how it’ll be set in an alternate universe of sorts, somewhat changing the ending of John Carpenter’s eternal classic.
If you've been keeping up, everyday citizens have been capturing pictures of Zachary Levi in his full Shazam regalia as the next major film based on a DC comic book continues filming in Toronto. Already, we've seen the Big Red Cheese from behind and somewhat from the front, assuring that the costuming department was trying to be as accurate to the source material as possible.
