These days, we tend to think of Titans and Teen Titans as being two separate groups, not only because the former consists of superheroes slightly older in age, but also because they're two distinctly different ongoing comic books. But despite the upcoming live action series set to debut on DC's digital streaming service not having "Teen" in the title, it looks like that's the direction they're going in when it comes to characters' ages.
Whenever any type of movie is being put together, it's undoubtedly going to go through some changes - especially if there's a lot riding on it. Today, we know Marvel Studios to be a juggernaut in the industry, but I won't forget how crucial the first Iron Man movie was to them. Not only did it jump-start a cinematic universe, but it also kept the Marvel brand afloat. Basically, they sunk pretty much everything they had into at and, thankfully, it paid off.
One thing among many that Marvel Studios have excelled at has been that of incorporating the rich amount of supporting characters that complement each of its heroes. To date, we've seen the likes of Pepper Potts, Happy Hogan and General "Thunderbolt" Ross play key roles in a variety of movies. And with Avengers: Infinity War's release looming, one could expect to see some familiar faces resurface, but odds are that much of the focus will be placed on the super team themselves in the first of a two-part magnum opus.
While some may hold dear movie franchises such as Star Wars, The Lord of the Rings or anything having to do with Harry Potter, it's actually Death Wish that does it for me - and I'm probably one of the few guys under fifty years of age who will say that. Hey, I've always been a fan of vigilante justice on film, and few other series have pulled it off so well.
Being someone who has been a loyal fan of Supernatural since the pilot episode first aired all the way back in fall of 2005, I'm not ashamed to admit that I would have never predicted how long the horror series would endure. Even with creator Eric Kripke bowing out as showrunner after the fifth season, it's somehow managed to keep us all on the edge of our seats, with season 13 set to commence in a couple of months.
While we'll always anticipate the next trailer to arrive in advance of blockbuster movies, some characters oftentimes flash too briefly onscreen for us to get considerable looks at them. Funnily enough, it's through action figures and other forms of merchandise that we're able to gain some of the best perspectives on the major players. Not surprisingly, a heavily hyped, yet closely guarded, flick like Justice League has joined that club.
When Gotham Academy first launched back in late 2014, it came at a very opportune time. While the New 52 had been branded as being darker and more straight-faced than some longtime readers may have preferred their DC books, Cameron Stewart and Brenden Fletcher changed the game by turning Batgirl into an almost hipster-like character in her own solo series, offering a bit more of a light-hearted tone that some thought previous issues in the run lacked.
Even though last year's big DC TV crossover certainly gained a lot of positive feedback, a fair amount of viewers expressed some displeasure with the fact that Supergirl didn't truly take part in the festivities, only serving as the prologue to what was actually an event shared by three other shows (The Flash, Arrow and Legends of Tomorrow). Yes, the Girl of Steel herself got to participate, but we didn't get to see our other favorite heroes venturing to National City.
Not having seen our favorite super spy grace cinemas since late 2015, moviegoers such as myself couldn't help but become excited upon hearing last week's news stating that the next entry in the enduring James Bond franchise has been slated for November of 2019. With that, it's only expected that plot details emerge in due time.
As of now, it's not abundantly clear as to what threats await the Waverider crew in season 3 of Legends of Tomorrow, but we do know that they'll be struggling to fix time, something they somehow managed to break in last spring's finale. Still, some flesh and blood antagonists have been outright named, be they returning foes such as Captain Cold and Damien Darhk, or Kuasa, who's set to make her live action debut in the Arrowverse (she previously appeared on the Vixen animated web series).
