Ever since the first Iron Man film debuted in theaters back in 2008, Marvel Studios have put on a clinic nearly every time a poster for one of their movies is revealed. Really, they've got some veritable wizards working in the graphic design department and, not surprisingly, the latest bit of promotional material for Thor: Ragnarok carries on that proud tradition.
Now that the season premiere of Gotham is so close we can taste it, Fox is rolling out generous teasers by the day. Just yesterday, we were treated to an oversized trailer for the show's fourth year and, now, a couple sneak peeks have found their way online to whet our appetites.
With the "super season" now being just three weeks away from officially commencing, The CW is finally rolling out more substantial teasers for each respective Arrowverse series. Not long ago, we were treated to another trailer for Legends of Tomorrow, with the latest surprise coming in the form of a new batch of images.
When we received our first look at the evil Batmen to emerge from the pages of Dark Nights: Metal a few months back, we understandably thought each of them looked pretty darn awesome but reserved our judgment for their respective one-shots. Well, if this week's release of Batman: The Red Death #1 is any indication of what lies ahead, none of these issues are to be missed.
Last week, The CW finally broke their silence by dropping the first official TV spot for The Flash season 4. In it, we received hints as to how Barry Allen will return from his ethereal prison in the Speed Force as a changed man. But now, the network is being a little more generous with the premiere being three weeks away.
With the upcoming "super season" set to commence in three weeks, anticipation for the return of Legends of Tomorrow and its other DC TV brethren is understandably very high. Obviously, The CW is well aware of this and has put out a new featurette teasing what lies ahead for the Waverider crew.
Even though we receive at least a half dozen superhero films on a yearly basis these days, the fact of the matter is that we owe a great debt to Richard Donner and all involved in the production of Superman: The Movie back in the late 1970's. Before then, a blockbuster of that scale centered on a comic book character was simply unheard of, so to think that a genre was handily legitimized with such an effort is indeed commendable.
I think it's safe to say that we were knocked on our collective rears when a Flashpoint movie was announced at San Diego Comic-Con back in July. Granted, we've known that Warner Bros. have been keen on the idea of bringing the Scarlet Speedster to the silver screen for some time now, but an origin story was probably what we were all expecting - not an adaptation of one of DC Comics' most definitive tales to have been produced in this decade.
As Wonder Woman comes off a highly successful box office run and is now ready to tackle the Blu-ray market, it's only understandable that trivia concerning the Amazon Princess be discussed. Naturally, the character can lay claim to several projects that never came to fruition, just as other top tier superheroes can.
This year, Arrow proved itself to be The Comeback Kid of the comic book TV landscape. Despite having given birth to a shared universe that spans several nights of prime time television - appropriately dubbed the "Arrowverse" - many viewers seemed to favor its sister series, The Flash, especially after Arrow churned out a highly divisive fourth season.
