WARNING: This article contains SPOILERS for Batman: White Knight #6 – One of the most ridiculous parts of the movie Batman & Robin gets done right in DC’s Elseworlds mini-series Batman: White Knight. Granted, the idea of freezing Gotham City with a giant ice cannon is no less insane than it was in the 1997 Joel Schumacher movie. But writer/artist Sean Murphy’s comic story utilizes the infamous Freeze-scheme in a way that actually makes sense, given the motivations of the characters involved....

There are reports that James Wan’s Swamp Thing TV series could start filming in fall 2018, with production expected to take place in North Carolina. Last month, the DC Universe online streaming service handed out a script-to-series order for a live-action Swamp Thing series, with Aquaman director James Wan producing, though quite a few details about the project remained unclear. Although the series order is contingent on a strong script, recent casting breakdowns have suggested work on the series is proceeding at a pace....

Reshoots seem to be a big trend for recent DC properties, as Titans also saw significant alterations. Just how much did they transform the show? The first season of the DC Universe streaming service’s original series appears to have been popular, but it’s not without its faults when viewed through a critical lens. Characters drop in and out of focus, arcs aren’t quite resolved, and there are a few moments that are confusing rather than effective....

The first logo and official title for Pokémon: Detective Pikachu have been released. Legendary is bringing the popular Nintendo franchise to the big screen in a brand new way next year. Although fans of the property have been able to see animated films in the past, Legendary is helping make the first live-action Pokémon film. Thanks to the necessary CGI elements, the movie will be a live-action/CGI hybrid with Pikachu leading the way....

DeWanda Wise (She’s Gotta Have It) dropped out of Captain Marvel, but she has her eyes set on Storm if the mutant ever joins the MCU. With Captain Marvel on the verge of entering production, news is finally starting to pour in regarding Marvel’s first female-led solo film. Although fans got a sneak peak at Captain Marvel’s costume earlier this year thanks to some initial shooting, the film will finally start rolling cameras later this month....

Warning: Contains SPOILERS for Secret Empire #9. The end is coming for Captain America’s Secret Empire and, in its wake, nothing will be the same. Over the past few months, writer Nick Spencer has taken the once beloved hero and flipped him into one of Marvel’s most charismatic villains, thanks to the Red Skull reprogramming history with a Cosmic Cube. Catching his allies and enemies by surprise, Steve Rogers overran the United States and spreading the cancerous terrorist organization, Hydra, around the world....

According to rumors, Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn may lose her Suicide Squad tattoos in Birds of Prey (And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn). After debuting the character to memorable effect in 2016’s Suicide Squad, Robbie will make her long-anticipated return as Harleen Quinzel aka Harley Quinn in the upcoming DCEU movie with the long - and arguably irritatingly confusing - title. As that title suggests, Birds of Prey will see Quinn freeing herself from the influence of the Joker and moving on to new adventures....

Facebook’s video streaming platform Facebook Watch just added the entire runs of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, and Firefly, absolutely free. For decades, Joss Whedon has been a powerful creative force in Hollywood, and - some personal scandals and his involvement in the debacle that was Justice League’s production aside - is generally one of the most revered among fans. Whedon of course helmed both 2012’s The Avengers and 2015’s Avengers: Age of Ultron for Marvel Studios, and had a large influence overall on the MCU’s first two phases....

Ever since the soundtrack for Star Wars: The Phantom Menace revealed that Qui-Gon Jinn would be the first Jedi to die in the prequels, major movie tracks have been scoured for possible film spoilers or, at the very least, launch points for fan theories. With that in mind, studios have tightened up on names and details behind major soundtracks thus far – but, if you look deep enough, you might find some story hints in the new track list for Captain America: Civil War....

When news broke of actor Dave Bautista’s eager pursuit of the lead role in Epic Games’ Gears of War film project, gamers were hyped and wondering who could fill out the rest of the cast. On the one hand, it was exciting to hear more news about the Gears of War film, which has been quietly — and slowly — undergoing development, now in its home at Universal. Although precious few details have trickled out from the studio about the film, franchise fans, and appreciators of Bautista’s acting credits in general, are suitably hungry for more details....

[This interview contains spoilers for the series finale of Casual.] - Hulu is currently streaming the final eight episodes of Casual, and in addition to delivering plenty of emotionally satisfying moments, the season also takes its characters into the near future. While the idea of a time jump isn’t too foreign to most television watchers, Casual takes it a step further by actually making a number of predictions about where technology and politics may be in four years’ time....

If you had gone back to the ’90s (the days of shows like The Flash, Power Rangers, and Swamp Thing) and told someone that live-action superhero shows would someday be some of the highest-rated series on prime time, they would have laughed you out of the building. Where the adventures of costumed vigilantes were once laughable fodder, nowadays people tune religiously every week. Marvel and DC both rule the airwaves, with shows like Agents of S....

Networks are actively revealing their 2016-17 television slates as part of the ongoing TV Upfront Presentations for this year, and The CW has likewise revealed its TV show lineup for this fall. The CW’s original entertainment lineup varies a good deal in terms of genre - from telenovela-inspired Jane the Virgin to the subversive musical rom-com Crazy Ex-Girlfriend and the latest season of long-running supernatural adventure romp Supernatural. Moreover the network now boasts four DC Comics-based TV shows under its watch (all of them co-created by Greg Berlanti): the mystical/martial arts crime drama/action of Arrow, the multi-verse traversing sci-fi mayhem of The Flash, the time-traveling antics of Legends of Tomorrow, and the upbeat super-heroics of Supergirl (now on The CW after airing its first season on CBS)....

With San Diego Comic Con 2018 now underway, it has been revealed that Deadpool 2 and Aquaman are the most tweeted about movies of 2018 heading into the renowned festival of all things film, television, comics and video games. Released back in May this year, Deadpool 2 followed on from the extraordinary success of the first film and introduced the likes of Cable, Domino and the X-Force. With a critical response more or less in line with the original and continued prosperity at the box office, Mr....

The English film adaptation of Death Note has been long-in-development. While the metaphysical thriller manga has already been adapted into a successful two-season anime series and a 2006 Japanese film, last April it was reported that Warner Bros. had purchased the rights to make their own Americanized version of the story. Shane Black (The Nice Guys, Iron Man 3) was once attached to direct, but later backed out, leaving Adam Wingard (You’re Next) to pick up the project with a script by Jeremy Slater (Fantastic Four)....

If you thought Destiny was disappointing, Destiny 2’s beta most likely will not address your concerns. We spent some time in the Destiny 2 beta this week, available first on PlayStation 4 and a day later (yesterday) on Xbox One for those who pre-ordered and below are our impressions. The PC version is last to the party and doesn’t have a beta date yet, but the full open beta for consoles begins this weekend....

When James Franco revealed that he would play the role of Tommy Wiseau in The Disaster Artist (an adaptation of the book of the same name about the production of the notorious film, The Room) many fans of both Franco and The Room may have been skeptical. Now, fans can see if Franco passes the doppelganger test in a new official image released today by New Line Cinema. Up to now, there have only been behind-the-scenes photos of Franco at various stages of makeup and costuming for the role, but they gave little indication of how he would look in front of the camera....

Earlier this year, rumors pointed to an ad-supported Disney+ tier, which would presumably make the service more affordable for people. On Wednesday, Disney confirmed its plans to launch a new ad-supported tier during a call with investors. However, despite the new subscription plan, Disney+ is getting more expensive in the United States. Currently, the Disney+ subscription costs $7.99 per month. While the company will keep this same price on its basic plan, it is now introducing advertisements for these users....

The following article includes SPOILERS for Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice is finally in theaters. After seemingly an eternity of buildup (Warner Bros. has been trying to make this movie for so long that there was footage of a still-living Christopher Reeve making fun of the idea in a news special), the biggest prospective superhero crossover ever has arrived onscreen with an entirely new Batman, the first live-action feature film Wonder Woman, a bucket full of teasers for Aquaman, The Flash and Cyborg and the promise of Justice League and a DC Extended Universe....

In an odd turn of events, Ben Affleck’s 2016 action film The Accountant was the most-rented title of 2017. Among all the other digital offerings last year, the MPAA has confirmed that Affleck’s film was the number one rented title. The Accountant is a mostly fine action film starring Affleck as Christian Wolff, an autistic accountant for criminal and terrorist enterprises. On the side, and through a series of flashbacks, we learn that he is an adept fighter who has had a hand in several deaths of the Gambino crime family, a mafia presence in New York City....
