JOKER Targeting Two More Actors for its Cast
Director Todd Phillips’ Joker origin movie, starring Joaquin Phoenix, is currently filling out its supporting cast. Robert De Niro, Zazie Beetz, and Francis Conroy are all in negotiations to join the film. And now, we have word of two more actors joining. Actor Bryan Callen announced on his podcast The Fighter & The Kid (via Revenge of the Fans) that he has joined the Joker cast. He previously worked with Phillips on the first two Hangover movies. However, he says that he won’t have that big a role in this movie. “I was offered a part. That’ll be fun, but i think it’s only a couple days. Play an aging dancer,…

AQUAMAN Will Reportedly Have a Post-Credits Scene
Post- and mid-credits scenes are becoming more and more common in blockbuster films. But while Suicide Squad and Justice League had additional scenes, DC Films’ other three titles did not. Thus, fans have wondered if we should expect more movies to follow suit. And if this new report is to be believed, DC’s next movie will do it. According to Discussing Film, Aquaman will have a post-credits scene. While we won’t spoil what it is here, it is designed to set up a potential sequel. Discussing Film also says that there is potential for this scene to be cut, since we’re still a few months away from release. For details on…

TEEN TITANS GO! TO THE MOVIES Comes Behind Expectations with Estimated $10.5 Million Opening
A few weeks ago, Teen Titans GO! To the Movies was tracking to open somewhere between $14 million and $19 million. However, the weekend estimates are in, and the film is opening with even less than that. Per Box Office Mojo, Teen Titans GO! is opening with an estimated $10.5 million, putting it in 5th place. Meanwhile, the film opened in eight international markets, bringing in about $1 million, putting its worldwide debut at $11.5 million. Additionally, the movie earned a lukewarm B+ on CinemaScore, while critics have been very positive. This is definitely an underwhelming debut for Teen Titans GO!, especially given its initial tracking. However, it’s still a stretch…

Review: TEEN TITANS: TROUBLE IN TOKYO
Before I start with this review, I never really saw this show all the seasons out. I saw some episodes here and there, but never watched every episode. But with that said. Throughout my watch of Teen Titans: Trouble in Tokyo, it felt like I watched a reverse Mask of Phantasm. With Mask of the Phantasm, I got the feeling that people went all out, doing a worthy entry of the animated series. Teen Titans: Trouble in Tokyo came off as a last minute attempt to cash in on the fans that desperately wanted some more content based on the show they loved. The biggest reason for this is the animation.…

SUPERGIRL Adds Rhona Mitra as Mercy Graves for Season 4
Supergirl has made some more additions to its cast for season four, and one of them is a key supporting player in Superman lore. According to Deadline, actress Rhona Mitra has joined Supergirl in the recurring role of Mercy Graves, Lex Luthor’s former bodyguard. This take on Mercy is described as “…an ex-CADMUS agent who has always believed in human exceptionalism. But with both Lex and Lillian in prison, Mercy is stepping out of the Luthor shadow and running her own show. With her biting wit and lethal brawn, Mercy steadily becomes a key figure in National City’s growing ‘human-first’ movement.” Mercy was originally created for Superman: The Animated Series, before…

BATMAN: MASK OF THE PHANTASM Review
Batman gets framed for murder while a new foe has appeared. Are these two somehow connected? When people discuss which Batman movie is the best, Mask of the Phantasm is often one of the contenders during those conversations. After rewatching it again years after my first watch, I can safely say that I understand why, even though I might not find it to be the crown jewel for the Caped Crusader, it is a spot on his personal Mount Rushmore for sure though. What I like the most about this movie, is that while it is truly a crime thriller first and foremost, it dwells more into the mind of…

THE BATMAN Reportedly Taking Influence from YEAR ONE, Plus a Production Update
We’ve heard a lot about The Batman in various rumors and reports from other sites, but very little directly from Warner Bros. or DC. Matt Reeves has been writing away, while Ben Affleck is looking increasingly unlikely to reprise the role. Now, a new report sheds some light on Reeves’ approach to the film, as well as when we can expect production to begin. According to our friend Mario at Revenge of the Fans, The Batman will “bear a resemblance” to Frank Miller’s Batman: Year One. (Think of how Batman v Superman had some influence from The Dark Knight Returns.) It’s unknown exactly how much of the original comic will…

Christopher McQuarrie Addresses Potential to Direct MAN OF STEEL 2 or GREEN LANTERN CORPS
After the debacle that occurred when Christopher McQuarrie and Star Wars director Rian Johnson started a conversation on Twitter, the Mission: Impossible – Fallout director came out saying that he lost interest in doing a comic book movie. However, if a recent interview is any indicator, McQuarrie has changed his mind about the subject matter. Talking to Screen Rant, he says “To me, I’m interested in a good story. That’s really what it is. I mean, when Man of Steel came up, it was because somebody had asked me, did I want to work with Henry [Cavill] again? Which I would in a second. I go through the door that…

Feature: Is TITANS Destined to Fail?
I love the Teen Titans. I love the characters, I love the stories, I love the giant T-shaped tower; it’s probably my favorite team in all of comics. It’s a series for all ages, so when we have rumors of the very first live-action adaptation being in a TV-MA rating range, It makes me a little nervous. Titans tone is that of The Avengers, not The Defenders. For those who don’t know, the Teen Titans are a group of young heroes (mostly sidekicks) who band together and form their own team. The team consisted of Robin (Dick Grayson), Changeling, Starfire, Raven, and Cyborg. With Kid Flash, Donna Troy and others…
