This past week, Karl Urban said that he’d do a Dredd series for Netflix or Amazon. The response to his remarks have been overwhelmingly positive (as it has been for the past 4 f*cking years!) and it’s gotten everyone wanting a series. Literally EVERYONE. My cat even mentioned that she’d like to see Urban reprise his role as the Judge. After the huge success of Marvel’s Daredevil, Jessica Jones and even The Punisher’s appearance in Daredevil –  it’s been proven that there is an audience for adult comic book characters, so I can see why fans want this now more than…

Fans have been asking for a continuation of 2012’s Dredd ever since it’s home video release after it’s initial disastrous theatrical run. People still felt the stigma of the Sylvester Stallone film and just figured this new Karl Urban version would suck. They figured wrong, and have been clamoring for more ever since. In a recent tweet, Karl Urban had this to say about the possibility of doing a Dredd series: Dredd 2 : I’d do it !! @netflix or @Amazon . There’s a gold mine of Awesome Mega city 1 stories ! https://t.co/5KeUAizPNS — Karl Urban (@KarlUrban) April 21,…

The upcoming take on Dr. Seuss’s How The Grinch Stole Christmas will have a new voice behind the iconic character (obviously). This time, Benedict Cumberbatch will be the one to portray the character. Here’s what Chris Meledandri, CEO of Illumination Entertainment had to say about the casting decision: “Choosing the actor to voice The Grinch, we were determined to make a choice that would not only define this version of The Grinch as absolutely singular, but most importantly, we were looking for a voice to express comedic wickedness while embodying vulnerability,” Meledandri said. “It is that vulnerability that allows us…

At the Warner Bros. panel at CinemaCon this evening, CEO Kevin Tsujihara gave a run down of the upcoming movies from the studio. After stating that they have at least 10 DC Comics movies coming in the next five years, he finally gave confirmation about something fans have been asking for for some time now – and it involves Batman: “We’re working with Ben Affleck on a standalone Batman movie,” the CEO announced. Not much else is known at this time, but once information becomes available, we’ll be sure to let you know. We last saw Ben Affleck’s Batman in Batman v Superman:…

While everyone is currently thinking about Captain America: Civil War, another thing that has been discussed as of late is who exactly will appear in Avengers: Infinity War. The Russo Brothers have stated that 68 characters will be appearing in the film but haven’t really said who (outside of the major ones of course). In a recent sit down with ComicBook.com, here’s what they had to say about certain characters: “The movies are intended to be a culmination of everything that’s happened before in the MCU so you don’t want to get into spoilers but I’m a big fan of…

In a bit of strange news, the next Suicide Squad trailer is going to be featured before a very unlikely film – none other than Marvel’s Captain America: Civil War. Apparently, the next trailer will be in front of Civil War, potentially showcasing more footage that may support the Batman scenes and “rumored” to add another well-known track in the form of “Ballroom Blitz” by Sweet. You can hear the original source from 15:03- 15:54 on the latest episode below: The synopsis for Captain America: Civil War: Political pressure mounts to install a system of accountability when the actions of the…

As most of you already probably know, DC Comics Rebirth initiative starts this month and Aco (a member of the art team) went to Facebook to share concept art for the new series – which included Deathstroke’s brand new look.

It’s no secret that Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice didn’t really have much humor. It’s often what starts fights between Marvel and DC fans. DC fans say that their films don’t need a bunch of jokes to be great. While I don’t consider Marvel films to be comedies, there’s definitely more humor in them. For the record, I’m not implying all fans are like that. Well, after the mixed response for Batman v Superman, it appears that Warner Bros. are taking note of said humor – according to Birth.Movies.Death: A couple of weeks ago I spoke with an excellent…

Obviously, whether you liked the film or not, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice has gotten a mixed reaction from fans and critics alike. Whether it’s certain fans saying that Marvel paid critics to bash the film or people just hating it just to hate it – it’s a hot topic right now.

There has to come a time when WB and DC want someone at the helm that…
