Before Justice League was released, Warner Bros. kept Superman’s role shrouded in secrecy, leading to much fan speculation. One of the most popular theories was that Superman would be wearing a black suit when he was resurrected, just like in the comics. Of course, the movie came and went, with no black suit in sight. But that wasn’t always the plan. Justice League cinematographer Fabian Wagner confirms to Inverse that they did shoot some scenes with Superman’s black suit, but they were cut. “There were [scenes shot]. It’s a cool looking costume. Sadly we didn’t see that either in the final cut.” The exact context of the black suit in the…

We’ve talked before about how underwhelming Justice League‘s box office has been. This week, however, the DC film finally passed a couple key box office milestones. On Tuesday, Justice League finally hit $200 million in North America. That’s still well below every other DCEU movie, as well as the other comic book movies from this year. It is the 10th movie of the year to hit this mark domestically. Overseas, things are looking a bit brighter. The film crossed $100 million in China this week, making it the highest grossing DC movie in that country. Its worldwide total is currently at $574 million; only another $130 million or so until…

[Warning: The Following Contains SPOILERS From This Week’s Legends of Tomorrow, as Well as the “Crisis on Earth-X” Crossover.] During last week’s “Crisis on Earth-X” crossover, original Legends of Tomorrow member Martin Stein was killed off. His death particularly affected Jax, the other half of Firestorm. This led Jax to ponder what his role on the Waverider crew should now be. Well, the midseason finale aired last night, and we already have an answer. In the episode, Jax decided to leave the team. He meets a time-displaced young Stein, who advises him to live his life to the fullest. Thus, Jax left the Waverider to do just that. In addition to…

After Avengers 4, fans should expect to see a very different Marvel Cinematic Universe. Not much is known about the next 20 films Marvel Studios has planned, but one thing we know is that there’ll be a big focus on the cosmic side of the universe. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 will set up at least some of these stories, which may include a Power Pack movie. What next? The cosmic side of the Marvel Universe is vast and full of dozens of characters ripe for franchise potential. We figured we’d list the five movies that we most want to see from this corner of the MCU… Nova The intergalactic…

Despite being the most poorly received Marvel Netflix series to date, Iron Fist is returning for a second season. The series has a new showrunner this time around, with production expected to begin soon. Now, we have the first casting news from this season. Marvel has announced that actress Alice Eve (Star Trek Into Darkness) has joined the cast of Iron Fist for season two. Her character is currently unknown.

Manu Bennett’s Slade Wilson/Deathstroke has consistently been one of the highlights of Arrow. The character recently returned to the show for a two-episode arc, which brought Slade closer to his comic book roots. It’s unclear if Slade will return again in the future, but in the meantime, we have another live action Deathstroke out there. Joe Manganiello was cast as the character last year, and he made his first appearance in the Justice League post-credits scene. Manganiello is attached to reprise his role in a Deathstroke movie, while he was originally announced as the villain of The Batman, which may or may not still be happening. Regardless, Bennett is very…

Justice League has been in theaters for three weeks now, and to say that the film’s box office is disappointing is an understatement. The DC movie only grossed about $94 million in its opening weekend, which is embarrassing for a movie with a $300 million production budget. This week, the film is slowing down…at least domestically. Per Box Office Mojo, Justice League grossed an estimated $16.5 million this weekend, a whopping 60% drop from last week. It is still in second place behind Pixar’s Coco ($26.1 million). This brings its domestic total to $197.3 million. Things are faring a little better overseas, however. Justice League made it to $370.1 million internationally…

[Warning: The Following Contains SPOILERS From the “Crisis on Earth-X” Crossover.] This week saw The CW’s fourth annual Arrowverse crossover, “Crisis on Earth-X.” In this story, our heroes come together and face an army of Nazis from Earth-X, as well as old foes and evil doppelgangers. The crossover not only delivered in spectacle, but also excelled in heartfelt, character-driven arcs. One of those stemmed from the death of one of the shows’ most prominent heroes. In the second half of the crossover, Martin Stein, aka one-half of Firestorm, was killed off. He opened the breach from Earth-X back to Earth-1, but was critically wounded in the process. He later severs…

Production is currently underway on Titans, a new live action series from DC. The series will stream exclusively on DC’s upcoming digital service. Brenton Thwaites will star as Dick Grayson, who forms a team consisting of Starfire, Raven, Beast Boy, and more heroes. Now, we have a first look at Grayson in the Robin costume. DC has debuted a first image of Thwaites suited up as the Boy Wonder. The costume was designed by Laura Jean Shannon, who also did the Black Lightning suit. In the original TNT pilot, Titans starts out with Grayson still being Robin, and he would have eventually evolved into Nightwing. It’s unconfirmed if that’s still…

Following the success of Suicide Squad, Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn quickly became the subject of several more movies that are in development. Robbie is attached to reprise the role in Suicide Squad 2, Gotham City Sirens, AND a Harley/Joker movie. Now, it looks like yet another project is in the works. Speaking with MTV (transcription via ComicBook), Robbie confirms that she’s developing another Harley Quinn spinoff, which is separate from both Gotham City Sirens and Harley/Joker. “Yeah, I’ve been working on it for two years now. I mean, it’s hard to kind of talk about it, because all the stuff is kind of under lock and key. But I’ve been…
