At this point, the Terminator film franchise is right up there with Halloween when it comes to "choose your own adventure" series. By that, I mean each have had their timelines branch in various directions since the original first debuted in cinemas.
With various DC properties having made it to screens big and small in recent years, we’ve naturally found ourselves being acquainted with heroes and villains beyond the A-list. Truth be told, we owe most of the thanks to the television side of things, especially the ever-expanding Arrowverse over on The CW.
As was expected, Robert Pattinson being revealed as the titular character in The Batman has inspired passionate reactions on both sides of the aisle. Whereas some embrace the new Caped Crusader - or are cautiously optimistic at the very least - others are seemingly unaware that he's starred in movies aside from just Twilight.
When it comes to Spider-Man: Far From Home, I'm not sure I can put into words why it's such an important movie. I mean, not only is it Webhead's second solo adventure in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but it's also the first flick rolled out in a post-Endgame world. In other words, it may very well begin charting the new course for the brand as a whole.
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, but not everyone wished to adhere to it.
For the past seven years, the Arrow TV series has pretty much encompassed the life of Stephen Amell. Yes, he's worked on a few other projects such as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows and Code 8, but his primary focus has been that of the role of Oliver Queen.
Considering that Arrow's impressive run will soon end with its eighth and final season, I'm sure pretty much everybody will be doing their share of reflection as the series finale draws near. During the first seven seasons, we'd been introduced to so many heroes and villains, not to mention the Arrowverse itself growing out of this beast that proved to be very different from Smallville.
Something I'm enjoying seeing lately is animation catching up to the comic book realm when it comes to crossovers. In most instances, we've been forced to rely on the latter because it's really been the only medium to get around red tape separating various franchises. But thanks to some of the top publishers out there, Batman has fought the Predator, Archie has had to survive a Sharknado, and the Ghostbusters will soon meet up with the Transformers.
In the case of an enduring icon such as the Batman, pretty much everybody on Earth has that one actor in mind who should play him. From A-listers down to lesser known martial arts experts, there exist a variety of opinions regarding this matter. Personally, I tend to leave it to the studio and trust the director's instincts.
Anyone who's long been familiar with DC TV knows that whenever an actor has played a certain iconic character, they may find themselves employed for life. Some prime examples of this are folks such as Dean Cain, Helen Slater, Sam Witwer and John Wesley Shipp, each of which have found happy homes in the Arrowverse more recently. Really, the actual list goes on and on - especially if we were to discuss voice acting.
