It took over 20 years, but Warner Bros. is finally doing it: on Friday, they announced their plans to give the Teen Titans a live-action movie. Ana Noguiera, who’s already written Supergirl: World of Tomorrow, is on deck to do the impossible and bring the teenage superhero team to cinematic life. Previously, the Titans have dabbled in both ive-action and movies, albeit separately: Titans wrapped its four-season run just last year, and Teen Titans Go to the Movies! is their only cinematic incarnation period. Teen Titans…

Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom already has its home release dates, and they’re closer than you may think. While there’s no word yet on when it’ll debut on Max, the film will be available digitally next week on January 23, ahead of its DVD/Blu-ray/4K release on March 12. One would expect the Max date to be somewhere in that time frame too.Spoilers of the Week: July 29thDirected by James Wan, Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom hit theaters less than a month ago and, so far, has grossed about $380 million worldwide, including about…

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…

Unless something truly crazy happens, Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom will be the final film in the DC Extended Universe that began 10 years ago with Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel. It was a universe dominated by Snyder’s decisions, which resulted in some memorable highs and embarrassing lows. And while Lost Kingdom completely ignores that it’s part of that universe in every way, leaving all open questions about its inhabitants untouched, it’s actually a hopeful, fitting ending for that universe, especially since a new one is on…

Almost every DC Comics movie released in the last five or six years has done so with baggage attached that can’t help but talked about. In many cases, said baggage helps inform why the film is what it is, but in other cases, it gets in the way of what makes an individual film rise or fall despite a game effort from all involved in production. Spoilers of the Week: July 29thSo it goes with Aquaman: released December 21, 2018, this was the first movie to follow the 2017 version of Justice League, and starting from that…

Do you like the Star Wars franchise? How about the new version of Dune? And what about Avatar, The Matrix, Starship Troopers, Lord of the Rings, and Game of Thrones? And also: Westerns, samurai movies, Inglourious Basterds, ancient mythology (Greek, Roman, and a smattering of Eastern), the Dungeons & Dragons monsters’ manual, those old-school Roger Dean album covers, Frank Frazetta’s paintings, Hideo Kojima’s video games, James Fenimore Cooper’s “Leatherstocking Tales,” the collected works of Robert Heinlein and…

Next week sees the release of Aquaman & the Lost Kingdom, DC’s final movie of 2023. The original 2018 film was a billion-dollar hit, but the sequel feels like is occupying this weird space where it feels like it should’ve been out by now, or is farther away than it seems. Either way, if you were wondering about the future of the character, it sounds like the writing’s already on the wall.Spoilers of the Week: July 29th“It’s not looking too good,” Jason Momoa told Entertainment Tonight. The outlet asked him about the…

Few superheroes have had as tumultuous a media presence as Superman. Joel Shuster and Jerry Siegel’s 1938 creation grew in popularity outside of comics thanks to Christopher Reeve’s movies and the 1990s cartoon (and the subsequent DC Animated Universe shows that spawned from it). During the 2000s, the character’s live-action efforts consisted of the 10-season Smallville from the WB (now the CW), and 2006’s Superman Returns served as the hero’s last theatrical movie for nearly a decade. Warner Bros. made several efforts to…

The question of “What if someone with the powers of Superman was evil?” has become something of a cliché in the last decade. From the horror movie Brightburn to Homelander in The Boys, and even DC’s cinematic universe and the upcoming (and recently delayed) game Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, many stories have asked that question. It’s a video game, though, that perhaps most definitively grapples with the topic. A decade after its release on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Wii U, Injustice: Gods Among Us still…

Since the reports last month that Rocksteady’s Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League might be delayed again, fans have been waiting for any official word from Warner Bros and Rocksteady. And they finally got it via an official statement on Twitter. The publishers have now decided that the new release date for Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League will be February 2nd, 2024.The statement reads, “We have made the tough but necessary decision to take the time needed to work on getting the game to be the best quality…
