As highly enjoyable as Tom King's run over on Batman has thus far proven to be, I've been very much pleased to see that James Tynion IV and the various artists that have worked with him for the past two years have succeeded in making Detective Comics feel like a markedly different book. They're both fantastic, sure, but having two flagship titles featuring the same character with the same flavor is a trapping that isn't uncommon in this medium, and I'm glad that's certainly not the case here.
Even though it appears that the DC Extended Universe will not be as dark going forward, it certainly doesn't hurt to develop a few kid friendlier movies here and there. Yes, superheroes appeal to folks of all ages these days, but odds are that you embraced the genre at a very young age just as I did.
After witnessing The Flash recapture some of its old magic around the midseason mark, I felt less than enthused to see Barry Allen remain behind bars for several weeks. Really, I couldn't have been the only one who felt much of the show's excitement had been lost by having the titular character moping in the clink, right? Not only that, but this season's big bad, Clifford DeVoe, decided to take a small vacation.
Ever since Jaws caused moviegoers to be afraid of going back into the water in 1975, the concept of rampaging sharks has been a staple in the horror, thriller and science fiction genres, often blurring the lines between them. And while the topic of today’s discussion isn’t nearly as over the top as the likes of Sharknado, Sharktopus and Ghost Shark, it sure has been generating its share of online buzz as of late.
Even with 2018 being packed with blockbusters - superhero and otherwise - it's probably safe to say that Deadpool 2 is likely among those that are most anticipated. I mean, not only is it following in the footsteps of its predecessor that just so happened to be the highest grossing R-rated movie of all time, but it also includes the long awaited live action debuts of Cable and Domino, two cult favorites in the comic book community.
Having seen the recently released trailer for Tremors: A Cold Day in Hell, it's hard not to reflect on the cult favorite series. I mean, the franchise really has come a long way from the original picture that starred Kevin Bacon back in 1990. What started stated as a flick that toed the line between horror and comedy has now given way to five sequels, a TV series and even had its influence felt in Resident Evil CODE: Veronica when a familiar looking "Gulp Worm" showed up to confound the Redfield siblings.
In recent weeks, it seems as though both we and our readers are becomingly increasingly more excited for the midseason premiere of Legends of Tomorrow. Actually, it’s quite understandable because not only has the show been on hiatus since early December, but we also have John Constantine stopping by the Waverider to look forward to, in addition to Kid Flash becoming a series regular not long after that.
Ever since the Arrow midseason premiere aired, we've seen Cayden James putting his grand plan into action, effectively taking control of Star City's technology and holding it hostage. From what we can tell, all hell may very well break loose in this week's episode, "The Devil's Greatest Trick." But before we get there, we actually have a decent amount of images from the following episode to look over.
Each year, the fine folks at Warner Bros. Animation serve up a handful of films based on DC properties and, more often than not, they knock it out of the park. Not only that, but a significant portion of the fanbase argues that they’re superior to what’s offered in the live action realm. And, to be completely honest, I have to concede in most cases.
In recent years, journalists and fans alike have kept their eyes affixed to DC's YouTube channel, especially because their daily web series, DC All Access, often drops major news about the brand's latest happenings across all forms of media. Unfortunately, it's been largely absent for a couple months, but has thankfully made an unexpected return.
