Entertainment Weekly’s recent feature on the upcoming Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice gives us clues on what’s to come in this DC Extended Universe.  We know that the next two flicks will be Suicide Squad and Wonder Woman. We also can expect a two-part Justice League, much like how Marvel is doing with the third Avengers picture. Also, there will be solo outings for Flash, Cyborg, Shazam, and not one Green Lantern, but the whole Corps. But so far, there hasn’t been any slates for another Superman, or a solo Batman starring, and maybe even directed by, Ben…

The rumor that Jared Leto’s Joker was in fact Jason Todd had fans all in a frenzy. Soon, it was a competition between him and John Cena of how many secret identities they had. But before all that, where did the idea of Jason Todd arise? Of course, it was that Robin suit in the Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice trailer with Joker’s graffiti, “Hahaha Jokes on you Batman.” In the comics, Jason Todd was the second Robin after Dick Grayson. He had a snot-nosed attitude, far from Grayson, that readers did not enjoy. Therefore, when the publishers ran…

There’s been talk for a while now that the cast of Legends of Tomorrow hasn’t been set in stone. The first couple episodes consisted of: Rip Hunter, Hawkman, Hawkgirl, White Canary, Firestorm (Jefferson Jackson and Dr. Martin Stein), Captain Cold, Heatwave, and Atom. But soon, Hawkman gave into his relentless destiny and fell at the hands of Vandal Savage. If Hawkman is out of the picture already, and more Legends might be ushered in, who will step up to the plate. Recent episode, “Star City 2045,” took the Legends to exactly what the title proposed. There, we saw successors to…

You asked for it, now here’s your chance to do something about it. For awhile now, fans have been asking for a season three of the DC animated series, Young Justice. Jason Spisak, the voice of Wally West/Kid Flash, had this to say on Twitter : https://twitter.com/jason_spisak/status/705170494018813954 So there you go. If you want more Young Justice, you heard Kid Flash say it himself: watch the crap out of it. Binge your heart out. Because this week, evidently, will be quite vital to the fate of this fan-favorite cartoon. You can find season one and two of Young Justice…

The casting of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 has been underway. While curiosity is on who will play this mystery man that is Star-Lord’s father, many are quick to attach Kurt Russell to the role. The two mysteries for the upcoming Marvel sequel are: who is Star-Lord’s father, and will Kurt Russell be playing him? Volume One left us with Yondu (Michael Rooker) and his crew knowing the man who gave DNA to Peter Quill. Though, director/writer James Gunn says that he won’t be his father from the comics: J’Son of Spartax. Well, we don’t know who his father…

Fans have been pretty excited for the return of Jay and Silent Bob in two more View Askineverse films: a third installment to Clerks, and finally a Mallrats sequel. Kevin Smith switched his focus to horror this last decade. The last comedy he made was Cop Out, in which he only directed. Since, he made Red State with John Goodman and Michael Parks. Then he went one to Tusk, which has evolved into a trilogy. For this part three, Smith announced on Facebook that the stoner pals would return even sooner than Mallbrats. “#MooseJaws features the cinematic return of @jayandsilentbob!…

Digital artist, BossLogic is at it again. This time, at the brink of Leonardo DiCaprio finally winning his much-deserved Oscar, we are shown what it would be like if he played Green Arrow. Stephen Amell does such a great job on his show. But we know now that the DCEU (DC Extended Universe), the movie world that includes Henry Cavill as Superman, Ben Affleck as Batman, and Jared Leto as the Joker, lives in a separate dimension than the Arrowverse; even if TV’s Flash travels to different Earths. In the cinematic world, which will finally culminate into a Justice League,…

Last fall, Marvel announced that they were taking a stab at half hour comedies. No date has been slated yet, but Damage Control will snuggle in at ABC, alongside fellow Marvel shows Agents of SHIELD, Agent Carter, and the upcoming Marvel’s Most Wanted. Damage Control will be about the clean up crew for some of the most devastating superhero battles. While Damage Control sounds like a fresh take on comic book television, it looks as though it will have some competition. DC has thrown its hat in the ring with Powerless, which will air on NBC. Though we all know…

Arrow star, Stephen Amell, took to Twitter to announce Madison McLaugh’s arrival to the show. Though his tweet was as ominous as his character, leaving much to the imagination as to who she will be playing, and where she’ll show up. https://twitter.com/amellywood/status/702933893276545026 However, McLaugh’s tweet from the day before might have gave a few more clues, as she added devil and angel emojis. https://twitter.com/madisonmclaugh/status/702608674989080576 Could her character have anything to do with such? As we dive deeper into magic this fourth season, with the likes of Damien Darhk and John Constantine, that wouldn’t be too far out of the…

Last year, Kevin Smith created a big splash, announcing a reunion of the original cast mates for his upcoming Mallrats sequel. It was enough to get up every morning to know that he would be announcing a new return (Jason Lee, Stan Lee, Micheal Rooker, Shannon Doherty, etc). Though no date slated yet, the anxiety for the return of Jay and Silent Bob is unbearable. We last saw the “hetero-life-mates” in live-action in 2006’s Clerks 2. Since then, they’ve only showed up in animated form. But it looks like we don’t have to wait until Mallbrats or Clerks 3.…
