While everyone is buzzing about what's going on in the Dark Nights: Metal mainline series by Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo - and understandably so - it's hard not to think the various tie-ins are giving their bigger cousin a run for its money. Aside from the "Gotham Resistance" arc that's unfolding in several ongoing titles from DC, the series of one-shots detailing evil versions of Batman hailing from the Dark Multiverse are proving to be essential reads once they hit stands.
After turning in an impressive season premiere last Thursday night, the cast and crew of Gotham look to keep the ball rolling with next week’s episode, “A Dark Knight: The Fear Reaper.” From that foreboding title, you can probably surmise that the Scarecrow will play a huge role, no doubt confounding Jim Gordon and the rest of the GCPD at every turn.
Knowing how broad the horizon is when it comes to DC films said to be arriving in theaters over the course of the next few years, I'll be bold in saying that the movie I'm most looking forward to in a post-Justice League world may very well be Nightwing. Sure, my favorite character may be Batman himself, but we've grown quite accustomed to seeing him on the big screen and, let's face it, a picture focused squarely on the Boy Wonder grown up is long, long overdue.
Well, you can file this one under "things we never saw coming." To everyone's surprise, Warner Bros. have decided which film they'll fill the June 1, 2018 slot with. Not only have they chosen it to be Teen Titans Go!, but the studio has also pushed it back ever so slightly to July 27, 2018.
In its five year history, Arrow has managed to produce a lineage of Canaries that’s starting to rival the number of Robins that Batman has accrued. First, Sara Lance broke the ice as the Canary (keep in mind that she never used “Black” as a prefix), with her sister, Laurel, following in her footsteps as the first proper Black Canary. And although neither women were metahumans and instead relied on hypersonic technology to produce their “Canary Cry,” both boasted loyal fanbases.
Now that the season premiere of Supergirl is just under two weeks away, more hot news pertaining to the Maiden of Might is finding its way online. Just last week, we learned that she'll be appearing in this fall's four-show DC TV crossover, "Crisis on Earth-X," and, yesterday, we were treated to a healthy supply of photos taken from season 3's opening episode.
Being someone who has covered their share of conventions, I have a general idea of what to expect from events of varying sizes. Basically, you have your big shows that are chock full of celebrity guests, vendors and activities, and then you have your smaller ones that are made up mostly by vendors but can be great places to score some cool collectibles.
No matter if you prefer Marvel or DC, I think we can all agree that 2017 has thus far been an exceptionally great year for comic book movies. Having said that, I and many of you out there probably can’t wait to add each of them to your respective home video collections. In fact, one in particular that I’m especially looking forward to purchasing is that of Peter Parker’s first solo outing in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Spider-Man: Homecoming.
If you’re someone who’s been looking forward to seeing Amityville: The Awakening, then odds are that you’re about ready to put your fist through a wall – and understandably so. After first being unveiled all the way back in 2014, the latest entry in the legendary haunted house franchise has been subjected to suffering delay after delay after delay, the most recent of which seemingly put it in limbo.
Are you tired of major comic book publishers spoiling deaths, returns and other significant happenings before anyone has a chance to even read them? Yes? Well, then you must be in space, because nobody can hear your screams.
