The Final Ranking of DC Extended Universe Films

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…

Marvel Became Its Own Worst Enemy in 2023

This year, the once-untouchable Marvel Studios finally showed some vulnerability. For 15 years, the studio behind some of the biggest and best superhero movies ever was all but invincible. Every single gamble paid off. Every story expertly seeded over a decade blossomed beautifully. And even in the less cohesive few years after Avengers: Endgame, when the studio was releasing all manner of seemingly unrelated, superfluous shows and movies, it all seemed to work out. The Woman Who Would Be PhotonNot so much in 2023—which…

Jason Momoa Basically Says It’s Momover, His Aquaman May Be Cooked

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…

New Batman Movie, Brave and the Bold, Nabs Flash Director

He’s directed a movie with multiple Batmen in it so surely he can handle just one. That’s what Warner Bros. thinks, at least, as it just signed up Andy Muschietti, director of The Flash, to helm one of the biggest movies of its upcoming DC slate, The Brave and the Bold featuring Batman and Robin.“We saw The Flash even before taking the reins at DC Studios, and knew we were in the hands of not only a visionary director but a massive DC fan,” DC presidents James Gunn and Peter Safran told Variety,which confirmed news that

Shazam 2 Post Credit Scenes Explained: An Optimistic Future?

Can a post-credit scene be more important than the movie itself? It’s an intriguing question to ponder, particularly if you’ve seen the two post-credit scenes waiting at the end of Shazam: Fury of the Gods. One’s a shocking, confusing bombshell that—actually, let’s get the spoiler warning up before I discuss them in even vague terms.We’ll discuss the second scene first, which finds the original Shazam movie villain—Dr. Sivana, played by Mark Strong—who’s clearly still being imprisoned since the events of the first movie,…

Abrams—lives on. It’s just going to live over on Prime Video.The show, which Warner Bros. ordered 10 episodes of, planned to put in HBO Max, and then scrapped during its messy

DC Links, The Flash, Fast Furious

For the past few years, as fans have watched the drama unfold at DC Films, David F. Sandberg has had a front-row seat. His latest film, Shazam: Fury of the Gods, is a follow-up to his 2019 hit, meaning it was put into production by the previous regime. The film was then delayed due to covid, had its release date shuffled a bunch, and eventually, one of the film’s producers, Peter Safran, became (along with James Gunn) the new head of DC. But Sandberg was not deterred. He made his movie, which brings back all of the…

James Gunn Teases Even More DC Movie Characters to Come

Image: Dan Mora/DC ComicsNow that we know who’ll headline the first part of James Gunn and Peter Safran’s DC universe, the question (and speculation) has naturally pivoted to who can show up in what movie. Superhero fans have been trained for over a decade to expect more than just the title characters in a film or show, and the eclectic lineup of shows and films presents some interesting opportunities for guest appearances.Recently, IGN made a poll asking fans which DC characters they wanted to see pop in future films.
