Justice League Dark is the next big animated movie from Warner Bros. and the direct to DVD/Blu-ray release promises to finally bring to life one of DC Comics' most beloved teams. Among other things, what's got fans particularly excited for this one is the fact that Constantine star Matt Ryan will be reprising the role of demon hunter John Constantine, and now, following the news of the LA/NYC premiere and some other cool clips, this latest look at Justice League Dark puts the spotlight solely on the fan-favourite character.
While the X-Men won't be making the leap to the Marvel Cinematic Universe any time soon, it's been revealed today that another collaboration between Marvel and 20th Century Fox TV is close to becoming a reality. The untitled drama will air on Fox and is nearing a pilot order as "exploratory casting" is starting to take place ahead of the official green light coming through.
While the vast majority of fans enjoyed Batman: The Killing Joke, just as many took issue with the fact that Bruce Wayne and Barbara Gordon became romantically involved. The LEGO Batman Movie, which arrives next month, obviously won't get as R-Rated as that home video release, but a new TV spot makes it clear that romance will once again be in the cards for the two characters.
A recent report shed some light on when The Inhumans will start shooting, and now some character breakdowns have surfaced which reveal the seven key members of the royal family we can expect to see receive the spotlight in the highly anticipated series from Marvel, ABC and IMAX.
We already knew that it was probably on the way, but Marvel has officially announced today that The Defenders will launch this June. We'll get our first taste of it in a Free Comic Book Day offering in May, while it's also been confirmed that the series will reunite Civil War II creative team Brian Michael Bendis and David Marquez.
2017 is set to be the year that DC turns their Extended Universe around. At least, we sure hope it is. After the poor response to both Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice and Suicide Squad, the company now has the chance to right their wrongs with two huge films: Wonder Woman and Justice League. So far, things look promising, but before we get the chance to lay eyes on those aforementioned blockbusters, there's going to be another DC effort coming our way that looks to deliver something quite different.
One of the most exciting new TV shows on the way this year is Marvel's The Inhumans. While it was originally set to be a movie, an eight-part series is now being developed by ABC and Marvel Television, though IMAX is also involved with financing to ensure that the show features top-notch visuals and special effects. Why? Well, the first two episodes will be shown on IMAX screens, a first for a TV series, and a sign that Marvel is taking Black Bolt and the rest of these characters very seriously.
The first images from the midseason premiere of Supergirl have been revealed today and they're particularly exciting as for this installment, Kevin Smith is at the helm. The filmmaker has directed two episodes of The Flash, but this marks his first entry into the world of the Girl of Steel in the appropriately titled "Supergirl Lives." We say that because as you may already know, Smith was hired to pen the screenplay for Superman Lives, one of the many movies starring the iconic DC Comics superhero which never reached the big screen.
One of the biggest losses in recent memory when it comes to TV cancellations has to be Hannibal. After three incredible seasons, the show came to a premature end with a series finale which very much left the door open for some sort of return, and while there's been talk of that possibly happening, we've heard nothing even remotely concrete.
At the end of The Clone Saga, Ben Reilly was impaled on the Green Goblin's glider and crumbled into dust in Peter Parker's hands. Ben then made his return in the pages of The Clone Conspiracy as the new Jackal with a method of bringing Spider-Man's greatest enemies and loved ones back from the dead and a plan to resurrect Uncle Ben to make up for the wall-crawler's past mistakes.
