But now, a new report reveals that these two movies will indeed be present, and possibly more. Deadline has posted an article reaffirming that Marvel Studios will not return to Hall H at SDCC this year. While Marvel fans will surely be disappointed by this, this will allow WB/DC to completely steal the show at this year’s event. Both Batman v Superman and Suicide Squad will…

At a signing for the just released Batman: Earth One vol 2, DC Comics CCO and writer Geoff Johns had a chance to discuss the recent reaction to the teaser for Supergirl.  Particularly those who unfairly compared the teaser to a spoof trailer for a fictional Black Widow solo film on SNL that popped up about the same time. Johns had this to say about the comparison: “Everyone deserves to have a reaction, but at the end of the day, I believe in the pilot, I believe in the show.
