Warner Bros. previously confirmed that Suicide Squad, along with every other upcoming DC film, is targeting a PG-13 rating. This came after speculation amongst fans on whether this would be an R-rated installment. Now, MPAA has confirmed (via Box Office Mojo) the PG-13 rating, along with the reason for it. Suicide Squad has been rated PG-13 for “sequences of violence and action throughout, disturbing behavior, suggestive content and language.” So, pretty much exactly what we expected. Plenty of violence was to be expected, while the presence of characters such as Harley Quinn and Enchantress up the ante in “suggestive content.” For more of the latest MPAA ratings, including Independence Day:…

Vixen stars in her own animated series on CW Seed, and in her live action debut, she guest starred on an episode of Arrow last season. Megalyn Echikunwoke played the character in both mediums. Now, Vixen will appear on one of The CW’s other DC shows. According to TV Insider, Vixen will be a series regular on DC’s Legends of Tomorrow next season. However, it won’t be the same Vixen we met before. Echikunwoke is unable to reprise the role due to scheduling conflicts. But, instead of recasting, Legends will bring in a second, “old” Vixen. She is described as “…an earlier version of the character who may or may not…

Director James Wan was hired to helm DC Films’ Aquaman last year, but that was not the only DC movie he considered. In an interview with Uproxx, Wan reveals that he chose between Aquaman and one of DC’s other 2018 outings, The Flash. When asked why he declined to direct The Flash, Wan explains, “This is how I weighed it: For me, we’ve seen various versions of The Flash…There’s a popular show on TV and there was a great one in the ’90s.” As for Aquaman, however, there aren’t as many versions of him, and people don’t feel as strongly about him as they do with, say, Batman and Superman.…

With the release of every animated direct-to-video film from DC, there is a sneak peek at the next installment. Normally, this comes in the form of a behind-the-scenes featurette with interviews, artwork and more. DC’s next movie, Batman: The Killing Joke, is no exception. And a new classification reveals that the following film will be. The British Board of Film Classification has classified additional content for The Killing Joke titled, “A Sneak Peak at Justice League Dark.” So, it appears that the next animated DC movie will bring this team of magical heroes to life. Warner Bros. and DC haven’t officially confirmed Justice League Dark, but stay tuned for an…

While Superman has a big presence on Supergirl, the Man of Steel never made a full-fledged appearance. We saw a couple blurry glimpses (no look at his face), he talks with his cousin Kara via text messenger, and a young Kal-El guest starred in an episode. That’s it. But next season, we’ll actually be seeing Superman for real. Warner Bros. has announced (via TV Line) that Superman/Clark Kent will appear in Supergirl‘s second season, which will air on The CW. “The iconic character of Superman will first be seen visiting his cousin Kara in National City at the beginning of the series’ second season.” Producer Andrew Kreisberg adds, “Greg [Berlanti],…

Director James Wan is currently promoting his new film, The Conjuring 2. But inevitably, he has also talked more about his next project, DC Films’ Aquaman. In a new interview with Cinema Blend, the filmmaker further discusses his desire to make Aquaman different from every other superhero movie. Wan praises the “interesting” supporting cast in Aquaman’s mythos, and he implies that we’ll see more than one villain in the movie. “I gotta say, one thing I love about the Aquaman world is all the really different, really interesting characters. They are interesting characters, including the villains – I’m not going to tell you which villains I’m going to play with!…

The latest issue of Total Film includes a feature on Warner Bros. and DC’s next film, Suicide Squad. The magazine visited the movie’s set last year and learned some new details on what to expect. Many thanks to Batman-News for compiling this information. In the Suicide Squad trailers, the team is seen fighting a group of mysterious creatures. Who are they, exactly?

They don’t know how they got here, but…
