After The Flash's season 3 finale left everybody reeling upon seeing Barry Allen willingly enter the Speed Force in a sort of self-imposed exile, some fans were left wondering if he'd ever make his return. Well, we obviously will see more of series lead Grant Gustin, otherwise we wouldn't have ourselves a TV show, but it looks like the producers are in no rush to arrive back at the status quo. Instead, it looks like they'll let the story unfold organically.
By now, you've probably seen countless memes lampooning Barry Allen for his constant messing with the timeline over on The Flash, but if anyone is supremely guilty of doing such a thing, it's most definitely the Waverider crew on Legends of Tomorrow. I mean, for a group tasked with fixing "time aberrations," you'd think they wouldn't kill people in the past all the freaking time. Thus, it surprises none of us that they "broke time" in the season 2 finale.
To date, we've seen Supergirl show herself to be one of the kinder, more empathetic heroes that DC TV currently has to offer. Actually, one would say those qualities come with the territory when you're part of the House of El.
Saying a lot happened this past season on Gotham is a massive understatement. Still, those who cut the trailer shown today at San Diego Comic-Con did their best to sum it up. Throughout the sizzle reel, we got to relive some of the finer points such as the rise of the Riddler, the return of Jerome Valeska and Bruce Wayne taking his first great strides toward becoming Batman.
Whenever San Diego Comic-Con rolls around each July, one of the panels I look forward to most is that of the one put on by those who put together the wonderful line of DC animated movies. Not only do they premiere their next film that's set to arrive in stores, but they also tend to announce the following year's slate. Needless to say, they didn't disappoint this year, as they confirmed the releases of what are sure to be several greats, chief among them Death of Superman.
Although DC's next major event that's set to reunite the fan favorite creative team of writer Scott Snyder and artist Greg Capullo doesn't officially kickoff until next month, it's probably safe to say that anticipation for Dark Nights: Metal has reached critical mass.
By now, you've hopefully seen Spider-Man: Homecoming, not only because it's a great movie, but also because it served as the wallcrawler's first major solo outing within the Marvel Cinematic Universe. As such, it didn't waste any time connecting to the bigger picture by showing some of the events seen in Captain America: Civil War from Peter Parker's point of view.
When word came down yesterday that a Shazam movie will, in fact, still be happening and could begin production as soon as February of 2018, we were admittedly taken by surprise since there hadn't been anything substantial to report on the project in quite some time. And despite recent rumors saying that Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson wouldn't be co-starring as Black Adam in Billy Batson's first big screen outing, we remained hopeful.
When "The Button" concluded a few months back, we were told to look forward to the next piece of the puzzle, Doomsday Clock, that's set to play a major part in DC's grand plan when it comes to the first two years' worth of Rebirth storytelling.
Despite having most of 2017's San Diego Comic-Con ahead of us, DC certainly hasn't wasted any time making big announcements. In fact, two were made just yesterday when one of the most imaginative writers around, Grant Morrison, crashed the "Meet the Publishers" panel and announced sequels to some of his most well-known works, those being Arkham Asylum 2 and Wonder Woman: Earth One Volume Two.
