If anything, this week is shaping up to be a memorable one for people who love horror anthologies. Not only did we recently learn that Trick 'r Treat 2 may be finally getting off the ground, but word has now come down that the upcoming television series, Tales for a Halloween Night, will start off with a bang.
So far, the latest season of The Flash hasn't wasted any time when it comes to introducing more heroes and villains culled from the DC Universe, with the likes of the Thinker and Hazard already putting in appearances. But next week, we'll be treated to what may be one of the more memorable debuts to be seen this year when Hartley Sawyer makes his first appearance as Ralphy Dibny AKA the Elongated Man.
While some of you out there may be sitting down with a collected edition of H.P. Lovecraft's more notable works this Halloween, those who also enjoy the cinematic side of things may indulge themselves with anthologies of a different sort. Sure, we may flock to standards such as Friday the 13th and A Nightmare on Elm Street on an annual basis, but you have to admit that flicks such as Tales from the Darkside and V/H/S bring something different to the table.
Despite having stepped down from his directorial duties during post-production on Justice League, Zack Snyder has still been given sole credit in that regard. Sure, Joss Whedon probably made some significant contributions in the time since, but we've been told that Snyder's vision remains intact.
To date, The Flash has utilized no shortage of villains culled from the comic books, which is quite understandable when you take the Scarlet Speedster’s impressive rogues gallery into account. While we’ve seen more well known knaves such as Captain Cold, Mirror Master and the Reverse-Flash give the S.T.A.R. Labs crew headaches, there have also been more obscure baddies featured like Girder and Magenta. And, as you could probably gather, the latest addition to the enduring television saga falls in with the latter.
As far back as I can remember, tie-in comics were just something to be expected whenever a new superhero movie arrived in cinemas. To this day, I still have my copies of adaptations for Batman Returns and Batman Forever. But unfortunately, the industry has somewhat shied away from this practice over the years, with such books now being few and far between.
While we’re fully well aware that the wait for Justice League is arguably harder to endure now more than ever due to opening weekend being right around the corner, the folks at Warner Bros. marketing are at least helping us pass the time.
If anything, the first two Terminator movies have remained among the greatest, most memorable science fiction films to grace the big screen in the past thirty or so years. Not only did they launch the respective careers of director James Cameron and actor Arnold Schwarzenegger into the stratosphere, but they also happen to be highly quotable, serving as inspiration for many Austrian Death Machine songs.
Last week, we Arrow fans experienced quite the shocker at the end of “Tribute” when Oliver Queen passed the Green Arrow mantle to John Diggle. Basically, Ollie wants to assure that his son, William, has no fear of losing yet another parent. Thus, it only made sense to him that he hang up his bow.
Even though it takes place in a dimension separate from where most characters in the Arrowverse live, Supergirl has done quite the fine job of expanding its supporting cast and embracing DC's rich pantheon of heroes. One example of this would have to be that of J'onn J'onzz/the Martian Manhunter, who actually happens to be my favorite character on the show.
