Whenever any actor is cast as the Joker - be it in live action or animation - fans immediately begin wondering what their laugh will sound like. After all, it's quite apparent on the printed page that the Clown Prince of Crime's mirth comes from a place of malevolence and mania, so any translation to screen must leave a lasting impression.
Having covered a variety of events throughout southeast and mid-Michigan, I must say that each have their own distinct flavor. In fact, that's one reason why I don't get tired of the better shows in the area. And now that Michigan Comic Convention (formerly Michigan Comic Con) has returned for a second go-round, I hope to make this an annual summer tradition of mine.
Now that characters pertaining to the X-Men, Fantastic Four and Deadpool franchises reside under Disney's umbrella and all that jazz involving Fox lies in the past, it's not like we can just wipe it from our memory. Plus, it's always fun learning new bits of trivia.
Whenever something is said about Justice League Mortal, I can't help but give my undivided attention. Heck, I remember when I vehemently kept up with all news pertaining to the film's production more than a decade ago - only to feel heartbroken when it was cancelled.
Though director James Gunn has certainly been playing it coy as of late, we're all pretty much expecting for The Suicide Squad to be a soft reboot. After all, it's set to feature a lineup greatly differing from the one featured in the previous flick.
For some time now, we've known which actor will be suiting up as the Dark Knight in Matt Reeves' upcoming blockbuster, The Batman - and that's Robert Pattinson. But with that out of the way, we've all been waiting to learn which actors will be orbiting him as Gotham City's most familiar faces.
Over the course of its impressive run, Arrow sure has delivered its share of memorable overarching villains. To say that the likes of Malcolm Merlyn, Deathstroke, Ra's al Ghul, Damien Darhk and Prometheus left a lasting impression on Oliver Queen is a massive understatement. In fact, some of them even returned in various capacities after their initial defeat.
Ever since last fall's "Elseworlds" event first aired, many of us had theorized that Oliver Queen would die in place of the Flash and/or Supergirl once "Crisis on Infinite Earths" rolled around. After all, the Emerald Archer and the Monitor did exchange some words off camera.
One of the more amusing tantrums thrown by fandom I've witnessed in recent memory was when it was revealed that a new female 007 will be introduced in Bond 25. For the most part, people on social media read only the headlines, and it didn't help matters when certain outlets blatantly referred to Lashana Lynch's character as being "a female James Bond" in every sense.
If Venom and Wolverine were to share anything in common right now, it's that moviegoers are pondering both their cinematic futures. When it comes to the former, things are a bit clearer, as Tom Hardy is set to return as Eddie Brock in a sequel directed by none other than Andy Serkis.
