Jason Momoa Opens Up On Playing Aquaman, JUSTICE LEAGUE, Where His Solo Movie Can Go And More
After months of evading rumors, Warner Bros. finally confirmed last week that actor Jason Momoa is set to play Aquaman in the DC Cinematic Universe. The actor will first make a minor appearance in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, which hits theaters March 25th, 2016, before having a larger role in November 11th, 2017’s Justice League Part One. Then, on July 27th, 2018, Momoa will star in an Aquaman solo movie. When word first came out that the former Game of Thrones star was cast as the King of Atlantis, he remained mum and initially outright denied these reports. Now that it’s official, however, Momoa couldn’t be happier to…

Neil Gaiman Explains Why SANDMAN Wasn’t Included In Warner Bros.’ 2016-2020 DC Movie Slate
This week finally saw the full announcement of Warner Bros.’ DC movie schedule for the next few years, featuring films for the likes of Wonder Woman, Aquaman, The Flash and more.

This surprised some, since a script is currently in the works. Now, Sandman creator Neil Gaiman – who is also involved with the big screen adaptation – explains why the movie was not named in WB’s big announcement. And the reason should not be that surprising. Answering a fan’s question…

The GOTHAM/ARROW “Crossover” Explained
Viewers of the second episode of Gotham got a bit of a surprise. The “Queen Consolidated” logo from Arrow was seen in neon on the side of a building. It came as a shock as the two shows air on competing networks, to further fuel speculation the villain of the episode was the Dollmaker. Dollmaker had also appeared in two episodes of Arrow. Was it possible that the CW-Universe was actually spreading across networks? Is the present of Gotham the past of Arrow and Flash? As it happens, two of the most surprised people were Arrow show-runner Marc Guggenheim and his Gotham counterpart, Danny Cannon. While the observant viewers that…

Jena Malone IS A Part Of The BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE Cast
A few months ago, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire actress Jena Malone was spotted on the set of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Naturally, this led to speculation that she had some sort of role in the movie, but this was quickly debunked when it was said she was just visiting. That made sense, considering she previously worked with director Zack Snyder on Sucker Punch. However, recent rumors have linked Malone to the role of Carrie Kelly, who was the Robin of The Dark Knight Returns. This was fueled by a reporter on the Dawn of Justice set claiming that there was a female Robin in the movie. Now,…

ARROW: Season 3, Episode 2, ‘Sara’ Review
This review contains spoilers for previous episodes of Arrow. After last week’s episode kicked this season off with a bang (or a twang… too soon?), episode 2, Sara, starts to flesh out more of what we can expect for the rest of the season. There are many high points, but an unfortunate weakness—that has been mostly tolerable to this point—is now being drawn to the forefront of the show. This season is establishing a much more mature Oliver Queen than the previous seasons. Season 1 and 2 focused more on Oliver becoming the Arrow, but now he’s responsible for a whole team, not just himself. In this episode, Oliver feels the…

FLASH: SPOILER Review 01×02 “Fastest Man Alive”

Is this the case for “The Fastest Man Alive?” Let’s find out. Our episode opens similar to the first, clouds giving way to a bird’s eye view of Central City with a voice over from…

New Details For JUSTICE LEAGUE PART ONE And PART TWO For The Villains And Green Lantern’s Role
Today was a monumental day for DC’s cinematic future, as Warner Bros. finally laid out its plans for its superhero properties through 2020. Among the surprises was Ezra Miller playing The Flash, who will go on to star in his own movie; solo films for Cyborg, Green Lantern and Wonder Woman; and Shazam not releasing until 2019.
