Warning: SPOILERS for The CW’s Elseworlds The minds behind The CW’s “Elseworlds” crossover didn’t make fans wait long to understand the secret of their Black Suit Superman. Well, the villain who has taken the form of Superman. Or, a male Supergirl. It’s complicated. First things first: the Supergirl portion of the Arrowverse crossover dropped the real mystery of Tyler Hoechlin’s black suit-ed Man of Steel in its opening narration. After the previous villain of this crossover, John Deegan, was encouraged to make himself a god by The Monitor, he showed his true idea of divinity....

Charles Boyle is probably the most eccentrically unique character on Brooklyn Nine-Nine. The series features a very charming cast of lovable detectives, but Charles definitely stands out as one of the most interesting and wonderfully odd. Throughout the series, fans are given snippets of Charles’ life outside of being a detective. As the show goes on, quite a lot of information is revealed about the Boyle family, and just how strange they actually are....

Captain America: Civil War will be the third Captain America movie from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but it has such a big ensemble that many view it as being essentially Avengers 2.5. Civil War will feature all of the established Avengers (minus Thor and Hulk), as well as newcomers to the MCU in the forms of superheroes Black Panther and Spider-Man. The eponymous conflict will be ignited by the Sokovia Accords, which are a response to events that unfolded in Avengers: Age of Ultron and question who is in charge of the Avengers - and therefore who is responsible for the consequences of their battles....

Ronan the Accuser, one-and-done villain of Guardians of the Galaxy, can get a redemption with his upcoming appearance in 2019’s Captain Marvel. Ever since the announcement that Carol Danvers’ origin would be set in the 1990s, many fans speculated that old faces would return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It was already confirmed that Samuel L. Jackson’s Nick Fury would appear in the movie with both eyes intact, although he was just the first....

It will feature the much-anticipated return of Samuel L....

Actor Charlie Sheen helped fuel an urban legend in 1991 when he reported Guinea Pig 2 to the Federal Bureau of Investigation under the mistaken belief that he was looking at a genuine “snuff” film. The notoriously violent film, the full title of which is Guinea Pig 2: Flower of Flesh and Blood, was released in 1985, written and directed by Hideshi Hino based on his own manga comics. It was the second title in the five film Guinea Pig series released in the mid to late eighties....

Over the years, both Hollywood and the general public watched as a variety of one time child sweethearts like Drew Barrymore, Macaulay Culkin and Lindsay Lohan faced career threatening battles with drugs, alcohol and ongoing legal issues. In some cases those involved managed to salvage their lives if not their careers, but the cost of fame at a young age definitely has its risks....

WARNING: This article contains spoilers for Stranger Things 2. - It turns out Stranger Things took inspiration from Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight for its opening sequence. Stranger Things has always been a series that’s worn its influences out in the open. Often, these fit well with the show’s 1980s setting, be it in the form of a brief reference or a larger overarching plot point. However, The Dark Knight nod is a little closer to home for Stranger Things creators Matt and Ross Duffer....

Now that the hype has died down and the smoke has cleared around Deadpool’s record-breaking theatrical run – and with the film now selling like gangbusters on home video – talk has turned to the prospects for Deadpool 2, and whether it can possibly top the first film. One new addition fans can be certain will be part of Deadpool 2 is Cable, the time-traveling son of noted X-Man Cyclops (Scott Summers)....

It’s hard to believe it’s taken this long. I feel old. Almost seven years ago, a number of weeks before X-Men Origins: Wolverine would open in theaters to crush the souls of many hardcore fans, there was quite a lot of buzz surrounding Ryan Reynolds’ role in the picture. Reynolds was playing Wade Wilson and marketing materials depicted him as some odd, not-really-from-the-comics antagonist for Hugh Jackman’s Logan to battle against....

Walt Disney Pictures has enjoyed a streak of not only commercial success, but also critical success with its recent live-action remakes/re-imaginings of such beloved Mouse House animated films as Cinderella and The Jungle Book, as well as a 21st century version of live-action/animated hybrid, Pete’s Dragon. Next in line to get the live-action treatment is Disney’s 1991 animated film Beauty and the Beast (which opens in March of next year) and the studio most recently announced that The Lion King is getting re-imagined for the big screen in the same cutting-edge technological manner as The Jungle Book (complete with Jon Favreau calling the shots as director)....

Ben Affleck is apparently still attached to The Batman as a producer, and the film will begin production at some point next spring. Making his debut as the Caped Crusader in 2016’s Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice, Affleck silenced most of the naysayers with a well-received turn as an aging, world-weary Bruce Wayne. However, especially following Justice League’s poor performance (critically and commercially), there have been numerous questions about his future in the role....
