Review: TITANS Season 1 Episode 1
Hopes and expectations are difficult things. There’s a joke that the best comic books are the ones you read when you’re thirteen, and I think that extends to all media. Especially nowadays when nostalgia is the shorthand to connect with an audience, and the franchises we loved as kids return for Box office Gold. The Teen Titans animated TV series left its mark on western animation, and I feel it’s impossible to talk about Titans without feeling its fingerprints. The leadup to the premiere of Titans was marked by reactions by the fans who clearly have a love of these characters. It is very hard to come to Titans with…

The CW has released a new promo image, giving us a first look at Rose suited up as Batwoman. The costume was designed by Colleen Atwood, who also created the suits for Green Arrow, Flash, and Supergirl. Needless to say, the costume looks very faithful to the comics’ version, and it is arguably one of the better costumes in the Arrowverse already. Check it out below,…

Jennifer Beals Joins SWAMP THING
Swamp Thing has found another one of its leads. Straight from DC themselves, we have news that Jennifer Beals (The Book of Eli) has been cast as Sheriff Lucilia Cable, an original character. We don’t have too much to go on because the character doesn’t have a comic book origin, but DC was kind enough to give us some character details. Tough as nails and pragmatic, Sheriff Lucilia Cable’s fierce devotion to her son, Matt, is rivaled only by her sworn duty to serve and protect the town of Marais. As the community she has dedicated her life to defending is beset by strange forces, Lucilia must double down in her efforts…

We Have Our First Look At Amazon’s THE BOYS
Are you a fan of comic books but have lost track of every adaptation that has been announced or is on its way? If so, then I have some good news for you. The trailer for the Amazon produced TV adaptation of The Boys just released its the first trailer. In this world, Superheroes has become corrupted due to their celebrity status. Because of this, the US government have put a group of super-powered humans called The Boys to keep these “heroes” in check. While the trailer didn’t show much, I think it made a good job presenting the atmosphere and tone. The show starts actors like Karl Urban (Lord of the…
