I mention this because that’s how much salt you need to take upon hearing Gal Gadot imply her Wonder Woman could return.Spoilers of the Week April 18-22This…

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…

But the bones of Star Wars, like the rusting remains of an AT-AT, still remain inside. The question is, how much does Snyder realize they’re still there?Spoilers of the Week | June 3rdIn a sprawling look at the…
