Sins

There are many questions about the clerical abuse scandal that will continue to await answers as long as those in leadership positions in the major Christian churches have to be dragged reluctantly into acknowledging the extent of their institutions’ culpability. And for the laity in these churches, there is a different but related dilemma: how could this have been going on under our noses without us realising?

via Warner Bros. He might have conquered the action genre several times over, but Arnold Schwarzenegger and superheroes definitely don’t mix, even if Batman & Robin is pretty much all we’ve got to go on. Of course, that’s more than enough when Joel Schumacher’s infamous nipple-heavy comic book caper still ranks as one of the medium’s worst-ever efforts more than a quarter of a century on from its relief, with the Austrian Oak’s quip-happy turn as Mr. Freeze dropping so many one-liners and terrible puns it’s…

Mister Sinister has been planning his own way to defeat a Dominion by becoming one himself, and the events of Sins Of Sinister have played that up.Sinister times are upon us. Sinister spoilers as well. Since the beginning of House Of X and Powers Of X, we learned what a Dominion was. The culmination of many civilisations which turn to artificial intelligence and consciousness that become so dense they collapse upon themselves as sentient singularities of power and thought, existing outside of time and space.

Image via Warner Bros. The Flash movie has its work stacked against it when it finally emerges from the Speed Force into cinemas this June 16. What with years stuck in development hell, the controversy surrounding its star Ezra Miller, and the fact it’ll be responsible for wiping out the SnyderVerse, DC fans may already have a chip on their shoulder about the film.
