And just like that, another major piece of the puzzle has fallen into place for DC Universe's live action Titans series.Hot on the heels of our scoop from earlier this morning saying that Lex Luthor is being eyed as season 3's big bad comes confirmation that his bodyguard, Mercy Graves, has been cast for season 2. If anything, this supports my own speculation that Lex will be name-dropped throughout the next wave of episodes so that groundwork be laid for his actual introduction.
Even though a few weeks have passed since “#DontSpoilTheEndgame” was a thing, I’m guessing it’ll be a while before any of us forget how adamant most folks had been about Avengers: Endgame not being spoiled for them on social media. Actually, the embargo extended beyond the borders of cyberspace, so I'm hoping that not too much blood was shed in the name of a movie.
Within the next few months, it's only inevitable that we be treated to more footage promoting the highly anticipated Batwoman TV series. Having already been gifted with a sizable and badass trailer last month, it's probably fair to assume our next significant helping will arrive at San Diego Comic-Con in July.
Right now, it feels kind of funny talking about Titans' big bads because we've yet to see Trigon's arc be resolved. Had season 1 consisted of twelve episodes as originally intended, then his defeat would probably already be in our rear-view mirror. Instead, it was shortened to eleven installments, with the demon coming out on top for the time being.
At this point, it sure does seem like it'll be a long time before discussions regarding Zack Snyder's cut of Justice League ever die down. Really, I'm not joking when I say fans loyal to said director blow up conversation threads on social media that are in no way germane to the topic. If it's Tom King getting ready to roll out the new Batman/Catwoman comic book series, then here comes "#ReleaseTheSnyderCut." Or, if the next issue of Doomsday Clock gets delayed by another month - you guessed it - a spoonful of "#ReleaseTheSnyderCut" will cure what ails you!
Expansive as the DC TV landscape has gotten, I must say that I greatly appreciate most of what it has to offer. Whether it be the superheroics of The Flash and Arrow, the brutality of Titans, or the rom-com-zom-dram that is iZombie, I've been satisfied on a variety of levels. Sure, the argument can be made for oversaturation, but I'm willing to look the other way if something can grab my attention and keep it.
Going back years, it's become expected that True Believers be treated to a Stan Lee cameo whenever the latest film based on a Marvel property hits theaters. Granted, it hasn't happened in every instance, but we're all guaranteed to smile whenever "The Man" suddenly pops up as some random character. Whether it be in a production from either Disney, Fox or Sony, there was always a chance for the legend stopping by.
By now, I'm sure you're well aware of how X-Men: Dark Phoenix was an unfortunate box office bomb. Though I'm certain being panned by critics didn't help matters, the delays and reshoots undoubtedly didn't instill consumer confidence. Hey, when something has nearly a year of negative press preceding it, failure is virtually inevitable.
Say what you want about movies based on DC Comics properties, but they've put out some pretty good stuff on the publishing side of things in recent years. After all, that whole "Rebirth" push back in 2016 reignited the brand in a creative sense and made for countless entertaining reads.
If you've been following our Arrow coverage lately, then you know that we, like you, have been wondering what exactly the eighth and final season will entail. After all, this past May's finale, "You Have Saved This City," lived up to its namesake by pretty much saying Oliver Queen did just as much. And upon leaving Star City in the capable hands of his closest allies, he went off into seclusion so that he and Felicity could raise their baby daughter together.
