Although the third season of The Flash ultimately proved to be divisive amongst both fans and critics, I personally found it to be pretty enjoyable for the most part. And while its finale that aired last week wasn't the grand slam that Arrow served up, it was pretty memorable nonetheless. But now that it's all behind us, everyone is free to talk spoilers, the cast included.
Something we've all come to take for granted when it comes to shared superhero universes on film is their chronology, basically assuming that they're unfolding in a linear fashion. A prime example of an exception to the rule would be Iron Man 2 actually taking place before the events depicted in The Incredible Hulk - despite it being released two years later. Or, on the DC side of things, Wonder Woman taking place a century prior to Justice League.
In recent weeks, the various folks that make up Gotham's criminal element have been forced to choose sides in a war that may threaten to tear the city asunder, making for the strangest of bedfellows. In fact, that theme will play a vital role in tonight's episode as the Batman prequel series pays tribute to Nine Inch Nails with "Heroes Rise: Pretty Hate Machine."
Now that the the theatrical release of Wonder Woman is merely days away, expect the film's marketing to be kicked up a notch. Whether it be a mini-documentary, more TV spots or a batch of visually striking IMAX posters, it's become apparent that Warner Bros. are doing all they can to keep the Amazon Princess in the public's consciousness.
If you’ve ever ventured to any sort of convention celebrating some aspect of geek culture, then odds are you’ve seen a cosplayer at some point. You know, the folks who take their love for certain characters to the next level by dressing up as them as accurately as possible? In fact, some excel at this craft so well that they’re able to do it professionally, even picking up sponsors and being honored guests at cons. Such is the case with Ani-Mia.
For some time now, Captain America has been split into two titles - Steve Rogers and Sam Wilson - each chronicling the respective journeys of two men taking up star-spangled shields, with the former being a secret Hydra agent and the latter being a bit more heroic.
A couple months back, word came down that the man behind the Court of Owls is, in fact, Ra's al Ghul, something the creative minds behind Gotham weren't exactly thrilled about being spoiled. Despite the leak, the prospect of seeing one of Batman's deadliest enemies be reinterpreted for this prequel series intrigued many, especially when you factor in that he's being played by Alexander Siddig.
This week has undoubtedly been one for fans of Arrow to remember. After first delivering an incredible season finale that may very well have been one of the series' finest entries, lead actor Stephen Amell was finally granted the chance to attempt the grueling course set forth by American Ninja Warrior, something his social media followers have been hoping to see for years.
Still riding high from the success of the "a-holes'" latest silver screen adventure, it's only fitting that the lineup to be found on the printed page mirror its cinematic counterpart. Having said that, it comes as no surprise that All- New Guardians of the Galaxy has found a sizable audience in short order, and, for the most part, has resonated with critics (you can read our review of the first issue here).
It's almost hard to believe that we're nearly a year into this whole Rebirth thing. As such, some of DC's top titles that have been shipping on a twice-monthly basis will reach the milestone of 25 issues in June, one of which is that of Aquaman. Not surprisingly, higher page counts will be allotted, but when you consider that you'll be paying only $3.99 for the comic you can sample in the gallery above, that doesn't seem like too bad of a deal, now does it?
