In today's digital age, it's undeniably harder to keep spoilers under wraps than ever before. Years ago, we had to wait for which of our favorite magazines had the latest exclusive to hit stands, but now, anyone with a cell phone has the potential to leak the juiciest of information onto the internet. Thus, it's very much understandable that the folks at Marvel Studios keep their cards as close to their vest as humanly possible when it comes to anything regarding Avengers: Infinity War.
Right now, it seems to be an exciting time to be a fan of Wonder Woman regardless of whether you're a fan of her highly successful movie or of the comic books she headlines. But, if you're someone who enjoys taking in her adventures in a variety of media, it's probably safe to say that you're on cloud nine these days.
Although Warner Bros. Animation has already kept its sterling reputation intact thus far in 2017 with solid offerings such as Justice League Dark and Teen Titans: The Judas Contract, it's only understandable that all eyes be on the next DC film to step up to the plate, Batman and Harley Quinn. After all, not only does it feature two of the hottest characters in comics right now, but the studio has such confidence in it that it'll be released in theaters for a limited time.
Considering that we live in an era populated by remakes and reboots - especially in the horror genre - you really have to tip your hat to the Child's Play franchise, which, for the most part, has kept true to the same continuity all these years. Sure, there were a few tongue-in-cheek detours that remain cult favorites, but to not completely start from scratch with recent installments is indeed an extreme rarity these days.
Thanks to Marvel Studios, shared cinematic universes are all the rage these days. Sure, Warner Bros. applying that model to their DC Comics properties seems only natural, but we've also seen the studio use that strategy on the world created by The Conjuring, just as Universal has likewise followed suit with their Dark Universe.
Much like its predecessors, Injustice 2 isn't simply a tie-in comic, but rather, a compelling prequel that sets the stage for the blockbuster video game of the same name. Oh, and there's also the fact that it happens to be one of the best books currently published by DC.
While Gotham has certainly featured no shortage of some of the most iconic Batman villains around over the course of its first three seasons, it goes without saying that some have risen above others. Of the principal cast, Robin Lord Taylor's Penguin and Cory Michael Smith's Riddler immediately come to mind, but it could be argued that the performance of one man eclipses them all. That, of course, being Cameron Monaghan as Jerome Valeska, the proto-Joker.
Over the weekend, we came across something rather peculiar, specifically an Amazon listing for a Harley Quinn calendar that looked to be the first piece of merchandise for the highly anticipated film, Gotham City Sirens. Normally, something like this would be newsworthy in its own right, but when you factor in that this is set to be the first time the Clown Princess of Crime unites with Catwoman and Poison Ivy on the big screen, well, there's no way it can be ignored.
Now that the DC Extended Universe is kicking into high gear, and with no shortage of movies being spun from Batman's corner of it to boot, it's only a matter of time before casting news pertaining to the iconic characters to be featured arrives. One such highly anticipated movie is that of Gotham City Sirens, which is set to be directed by David Ayer and will unite Harley Quinn, Catwoman and Poison Ivy for the first time on the big screen.
While there's no shame in saying the cliffhanger that The Flash season 3 left us on will make enduring the summer hiatus difficult, it's probably safe to assume that very few of us think Barry Allen is gone for good. As you should recall, he willingly entered the Speed Force in the closing moments of "Finish Line" to atone for the guilt that has accompanied him since creating Flashpoint.
