DC’s Latest Leak Turns Out to Be a Good Thing as ‘Blue Beetle’ Is Declared the DCU’s Surprise New Savior

Image via DC Studios/Warner Bros. Pictures The back-to-back blows of Black Adam and Shazam! Fury of the Gods left the DCU in need of a new savior, and it appears that it’s found just that in an unlikely form. During this hotly discussed period of transition for the franchise, DC has been hit by a few unsavory leaks in recent times, some spewed by Zachary Levi himself, but the latest turned out to actually be a good thing. The Blue Beetle trailer dropped a few hours before it was meant to, but it only ended up…

Washington, DC’s Cherry Blooms Draw Crowds—and Climate Questions

But Rosemartin echoed Alonzo in cautioning against attributing the earlier bloom directly to climate change. “I wouldn’t say that climate change caused the early spring,” she said. “But climate change is loading the dice every year. We’re more likely now than we were 30 years ago to have an early spring.”This is a trend with some consistency. In 16 of the past 20 years, peak bloom has occurred earlier than the historic average date of April 4. That average has advanced by seven days since 1912, when the first cherry…

DC’s Peacemaker Is Teaming Up With A Brand New Character, Peacewrecker

Amanda Waller is making her play for control of the DC Universe, as the ending of "Dark Crisis on Infinite Earths" played a significant part in her assembling a team of Multiversal "heroes" to take down its greatest heroes. Seeing how the Justice League essentially defeated death in the event, Waller formed a new group to ensure humanity's survival. In the final issue of the "Dark Crisis," she sought the help of the mysterious Council of Light, who gave the former Task Force X head permission to fully…

As the Phase 5 Curse Leads to Threat of Legal Turmoil, a ‘Doctor Strange’ Star Says No to Being DC’s New Batman

Photo via Marvel Studios While DC’s drama is playing out for all to see right now, thanks to Zachary Levi’s unfiltered Instagram content, Marvel‘s own messy time of it is playing out more behind the scenes, and yet it could spell much grander trouble for the studio that would make Shazam! 2 bombing look small-fry. Elsewhere, an MCU veteran who already came close to donning the cape and cowl once talks the chances of him becoming James Gunn’s Batman. Let’s dive in… Victoria Alonso drama intensifies as alleged…

Zachary Levi Dishing All DC’s Dirty Secrets Leaves Fans Convinced We’ve Seen the Last of Shazam

Photo via Warner Bros. Remember when Shazam! came out in Easter 2019 and, while it didn’t blow up the box office, it was one of the most harmless, least-antagonizing comic book films of the decade? Honestly, it’s hard to recall that time now, in the wake of its sequel Shazam! Fury of the Gods inciting so much controversy and backlash online. To such an extent, in fact, that star Zachary Levi has, in a surprising move, taken to Instagram Live to spill some behind-the-scenes secrets in a bid to stem all the hate.…

Shazam! Fury of the Gods review – second dose of DC’s imposter-syndrome superhero | Film

The first Shazam movie from 2019 was praised for its lighter, brighter worldview, its Gen-Z brio and for being generally unencumbered by the portentous and spurious gloom of earlier DC films. This is true of this sequel too, only it’s hard not to notice that it could simply be fitting into another boilerplate model (there’s a cheeky gag about The Avengers). A group of superheroes, all with cartoony character traits and a sprinkling of funny lines, wind up battling an intergalactic invasive menace, culminating in the usual…

‘Suicide Squad’ Director Regrets One of DC’s Worst Creative Decisions

via Warner Bros. It’s awfully easy to forget given that Suicide Squad has reigned supreme as the worst-reviewed installment in DCU history on Rotten Tomatoes ever since it was first released seven summers ago, but the hype was through the roof in the buildup to the movie landing in theaters. While that was reflected in a monstrous opening weekend and hugely lucrative run at the box office, the theatrical cut has now become a figure of widespread mockery and ridicule, with fans instead focusing their energies on…

Michael Shannon Was Confused About Returning For DC’s Flash Movie

Screenshot: Warner Bros.Multiverses are all the rage in superhero movies nowadays, but they can be a tough idea for non-nerds to wrap their heads around. Non-nerds like, say, Michael Shannon, who played the Superman villain General Zod in 2013's Man of Steel. So when Warner Bros. asked him to reprise his role in The Flash movie, his response was—and I’m paraphrasing here—“Huh?”The problem, as Shannon saw it, was that he was reasonably confident Zod died in Man of Steel. (For the record, he is correct, the character having
