The CW’s Arrowverse was once the talk of the superhero town, and arguably DC’s more successful live-action venture in the 2010s. But in recent years, the network’s superhero outings have all been shuttered, with Superman & Lois standing as the last Arrowverse hurrah for one more season. Sean Gunn on Working With His BrotherIn a recent interview with TheWrap, CW’s entertainment president Brad Schwartz and overall company president Dennis Miller talked about keeping some shows from the old regime. Superman & Lois…

As the year wound down, the io9 crew found time to look back on the year’s events, say goodbye (and possibly hello?) to some old friends, and return to some haunts we left behind. Check them out here!—James…

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice - Official Trailer 2 Even without “Martha,” Batman v Superman is, in our mind, the worst of the DCEU films because of its wasted potential. Zack Snyder put everything DC fans could want into a single movie: Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Lex Luthor, Doomsday, and more, but it was just too much, too soon. Maybe if it came out later, when we knew these characters better, it would’ve worked better. But here, early on in the DC saga, it’s just a mess. Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice…

Tom found her, they fell in love, and had Arthur, proof that the people of the ocean and the surface could co-exist... in more ways than one. Arthur’s existence threatened the kingdoms of the sea, and infuriated the powers that be, so Atlanna…

It’s often impossible to watch something completely divorced from the context surrounding it. Despite what some may have you believe, once you know about the controversy attached to a film or show, you can’t un-know it, and that’s going to affect how you view the finished product in question.Doctor Strange 2's Sam Raimi on America ChavezRight now, Warner Bros. is learning this the hard way with The Flash. After about two months of pre-release positive buzz, the film ultimately crashed and burned at the box office and is…

I almost can’t believe I’m typing this next sentence but here goes. The Flash is now in theaters. Yes, after years of delays, scripts, and different filmmakers attempting to tackle the project, Ezra Miller is finally starring as the DC speedster in a theater near you. And we think the movie was worth the wait, providing an exciting, surprising, and heartfelt experience. There’s also a lot to talk about in terms of spoilers—the film’s ending, its end credits scene, and so much more—so let’s break it down and see if we can…

I didn’t expect to feel this delighted stepping back into Zack Snyder’s DC Universe. Not just because of the merits of Andres Muschietti’s The Flash, but also the feeling and familiarity of returning to this world. This interpretation of Alfred, Bruce Wayne, the Batcave, and beyond. The Flash is essentially a sequel to Snyder’s Justice League. Barry Allen (an inimitable Ezra Miller offering perhaps the most affecting DC hero performance since Henry Cavill in Man of Steel) is getting used to the new superhero life. He’s…

We’ve been hearing about The Flash for so long—it had a bumpy road through production, plus there were some major DC Studios shake-ups along the way—it’s hard to believe it’s finally opening in theaters next week. The first full reviews are now online; they’re mostly on the positive side, but not everyone was a fan.The Woman Who Would Be PhotonFirst, here’s an excerpt from io9's own review by Germain Lussier:“The number of plates The Flash spins is incredible, mixing time travel tropes with multiversal madness and big…

Despite what the commercials, trailers, and posters are telling you, The Flash is not a movie about Batman or Supergirl. They’re both very much in it, sometimes more than once, and maybe after years of controversy and delays, Warner Bros. thought their inclusion would help get people into the theater. It probably will.But, as the title succinctly suggests, The Flash is very much about “The Flash,” and those other characters are there merely to enrich a very personal story with the type of big-screen bombast fans expect…

Image: Warner Bros./DC ComicsIn two weeks time, Warner Bros. will finally release The Flash, its loooooooong in development superhero movie. So much of the movie’s marketing has been playing up the movie as an epic team-up between Ezra Miller’s Barry Allen, Michael Keaton’s returning Batman, and newcomer Sasha Calle as Supergirl. You’d think there wouldn’t be anything else in the movie that can really be surprise worthy, given we know the general endpoint of the movie (and at least one cameo), but WB is apparently keeping…
