Comic-Con 2022 was a blast, bringing all-new trailers and announcements for your favourite pop culture franchises. This year's event lasted four days — with a live, in-person audience and hundreds of panels scattered throughout the venue in San Diego, California. The last couple of years saw Comic-Con succumb to a digital, online-only presentation, thanks to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Key highlights this time include trailers for The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Shazam! Fury…

Image: Warner Bros.This weekend’s San Diego Comic-Con has been nothing short of big, as it likely intended to be as we continue the pandemic age.There’s been some big news for just about everyone under the sun: Marvel fans got a mostly clear timeline on the next two Phases and three years of our lives, with some welcome (and somber) returns for fan favorites, along with interesting teases of newcomers who are surely expected to be a big deal for the next few years. DC fans, meanwhile, were given yet another look at the…

Image: Daniel Sampere/DC ComicsYou may recall that a few months back, DC Comics decided to go ahead and kill off the Justice League as the inciting incident for their big event of the year, Dark Crisis. Over the last several months, DC’s been quick to assure us that there wouldn’t be a big multiversal reboot, but since the thing has “Crisis” in the name, it’s not hard to guess the event’s grand ambitions. This is an event that doesn’t just want to be a follow up to to Marv Wolfman and the late George Pérez’s Crisis on…

The Batman — the Robert Pattinson-led reboot of the Dark Knight from director Matt Reeves — is out Wednesday, July 27 on Amazon Prime Video, the streaming service announced early on Friday. The latest DC superhero movie will be available in English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam. That's two more dubs — namely Kannada and Malayalam — than what The Batman got on the big screen in India. There's no word on what the maximum available resolution will be on Prime Video. Going by recent Warner Bros. releases on…

One of the reasons the Joker was such a thrilling phenomenon in Christopher Nolan's 2008 masterpiece The Dark Knight was that the film opted to make him an enigma. It made him all the more terrifying because you didn't know why the DC villain did anything, and he deliberately contradicted himself every time he offered a glimpse at his thought process. Ultimately, we are told next to nothing about his background. In other words, The Dark Knight's Joker had no origin story. The comics have largely avoided fully sketching…

The sheer proliferation of superhero culture in this century — more so, the past decade — has pushed filmmakers to venture into hitherto unexpected avenues. That has given us genre crossovers from period war epics (Wonder Woman) to animated spoofs (The Lego Batman Movie), highly self-aware commentary (Deadpool) to counter self-serious dramas (Logan), and fresh visual styles (Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse) or aural experiences (Black Panther). More recently, some have toyed with the very boundaries. The Boys…

A little over four years ago, as part of the early expansion of its Marvel Cinematic Universe rival, DC gave us Suicide Squad, an edgier, darker version of Guardians of the Galaxy, so to speak. (That analogy has now been further cemented by the fact that James Gunn, the writer-director of the latter is in charge of a soft reboot of the former, due in August 2021. It's a small world, what can you say. But we digress.) Suicide Squad was a monumental disaster — albeit not commercially with nearly $750 million at the…

Gotham Knights unveiled a brand-new story trailer at DC FanDome on October 16. After over a year since the last DC FanDome, the upcoming co-op action RPG offered a deeper look at its overall plot. Nightwing, Batgirl, Robin, and Red Hood will take on the sinister Court of Owls, an evil organisation overseeing nearly every nefarious activity that goes on in Gotham City. With Batman being dead, it's up to the remaining Bat family take up the Dark Knight's mantle this time.The new Gotham Knights trailer starts off with an…

Wonder Woman 1984 follows the beleaguered DC cinematic universe's best movie to date. The original Wonder Woman, released in 2017, was everything that DC needed to be. It was joyful and exhilarating, unlike the dark and brooding tone of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Its attempts at comedy were successful, unlike Suicide Squad. And it was true to its character's roots, unlike Man of Steel, as Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot) exuded hope even in the worst of times: World War I. Too bad Warner Bros. pushed for a generic…
