FEATURE: Five More Female DC Characters Who Should Get a Movie
So far, there have been very few female-led comic book movies, from both Marvel and DC. However, that’s about to change, as DC Films’ Wonder Woman is about to hit theaters. DC is also planning a Wonder Woman sequel, as well as films starring Batgirl and the Gotham City Sirens. At other studios, Marvel is producing Captain Marvel and an Ant-Man sequel co-starring Wasp, while Sony is developing a movie starring Spider-Man characters Black Cat and Silver Sable. But why stop there? There are so many female heroes and villains, especially in the DC Universe, who are more than capable of headlining a solo movie. Below, I’ve compiled a list of…

FEATURE: Five New Characters We Want to See in WONDER WOMAN 2
DC Films’ Wonder Woman is gathering strong early reactions from both fans and critics, while it is on track for a great opening weekend at the box office. Thus, it would make sense for Warner Bros. to put a sequel on the fast track. Director Patty Jenkins previously expressed interest in making a second Wonder Woman movie, specifically telling another standalone story. Wonder Woman introduces many iconic characters from Diana Prince’s cast of supporting characters, including Steve Trevor, Etta Candy, Ares, and all of the Amazons on Themyscira. Naturally, a sequel should continue that trend. There are many different heroes and villains from Wonder Woman’s 76-year history that can definitely pop…

SUPERGIRL’s Maggie Sawyer Will Have a Smaller Role in Season 3
[Warning: The Following Contains SPOILERS From the Supergirl Season 2 Finale.] Detective Maggie Sawyer was one of many new characters introduced on Supergirl this past season. She quickly draws close to Alex, and she winds up playing a key role in Alex coming out and exploring her sexuality. This resulted in one of the season’s strongest story arcs. In the season finale, Alex proposed to Maggie, who did not say yes or no, leaving us with a little cliffhanger for next season. Unfortunately, we’re gonna see less of Maggie next season. It has been announced (via TV Line) that actress Floriana Lima will return to Supergirl, but only in a…

Over the span of five years, The CW’s Arrowverse (consisting of Arrow, The Flash and Legends of Tomorrow on Earth-1, plus Supergirl on Earth-38) has introduced countless iconic villains from DC Comics lore.

This goes to both the big bads of each season and recurring foes. Below, I’ve compiled a list of my 10 favorite villains in the Arrowverse so far. [Warning: The Following Contains MAJOR SPOILERS From Recent Episodes of The Flash, Arrow, and DC’s Legends of Tomorrow.] #10 – Damien Darhk (Neal McDonough) Darhk served as the…

Director Doug Liman Exits JUSTICE LEAGUE DARK Movie
Last year, director Doug Liman came on board to tackle DC’s Justice League Dark movie, replacing Guillermo del Toro. In the past few weeks, Liman has been hyping up his take on the source material, promising a more personal and character-driven film. Unfortunately, we won’t be seeing that take…at least with Liman behind the camera. Variety confirms that Liman has dropped out of directing Justice League Dark. The reason behind the exit is a scheduling conflict. Liman is attached to direct Lionsgate’s Chaos Walking, which just got the greenlight. However, Warner Bros. is already in the process of meeting with new directors. According to The Hollywood Reporter, one of the directors…

WONDER WOMAN Won’t Have a Post-Credits Scene
The trend of a post- or mid-credits scene in movies has become very common over the past decade or so. Marvel Studios popularized the concept of having at least one additional scene during or after the credits of each movie, teasing what’s to come next. Other franchises, such as X-Men and Warner Bros.’ MonsterVerse, have adopted the practice in recent years. However, the DC movies rarely have credit scenes. Green Lantern tried it back in 2011, but that obviously didn’t pan out. The DC Extended Universe’s first two installments, Man of Steel and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, did not have credit scenes. But Suicide Squad did have a mid-credits…
