FEATURE: 5 Reasons to Get Excited for METROPOLIS
Just a short three months ago, I wrote a feature for our 14 Days of Justice League arguing why Lois Lane deserved a solo film. I stand by that piece, which is why I was positively JAZZED yesterday when DC announced a prequel television series titled Metropolis, centered on the characters of Lois Lane and Lex Luthor. It’s coming from the producers of Gotham, so you can count out Amy Adams or Jesse Eisenberg. But there’s still great reason to be excited for this venture. Here’s my top five reasons to get excited for Metropolis… #5 – The Premise Here’s how DC pitches the series: Set in the wondrous and awe-inspiring City…

Katrina Law Returning to ARROW This Season
The Daughter of the Demon is returning to Arrow for episode sixteen this season, titled “The Thanatos Guild,” according to Variety. The episode is said to be one that will change Arrow forever, as Nyssa (played by Katrina Law) will come to Star City with news of an impending danger that will affect everyone on the show. When we last saw Nyssa al Ghul on Arrow, she aligned herself with Oliver Queen and others to defeat Adrian Chase (and her sister Talia) on Lian Yu in the season five finale. She, along with (almost) everyone else, escaped the island’s destruction, but we haven’t seen her since. Stay tuned for more…

Five Actors Who Should Be Considered For Nightwing
Robin is one of the most well-known characters in all of comics. Starring alongside Batman, leading the Teen Titans, and even leading his own series as Nightwing; it only for him to get his own film. Lead by The LEGO Batman Movie director Chris McKay, Dick Grayson will return to the big screen. Plenty of actors can bring the former Boy Wonder to life, but for now, we’ve narrowed down a list of 5 actors we think are best for the role. #5: Lewis Tan At number five is Lewis Tan. He’s relatively new compared to other actors on the list, but that doesn’t mean he shouldn’t be considered. He’s…

FEATURE: Why the DC Films Were Destined to Fail
Two weeks ago I wrote a piece about the Future of the DC films. After seeing what a mess Justice League seems to be at the box office, and what happened before and after the film’s release, I think it’s time to talk about the elephant in the room. Why the DC Films were destined to fail. To get a complete understanding of what’s happening with The DC Extended Universe, we’re going to have to do some research. We can trace things back all the way to 2011 with the release of Green Lantern: this was Warner Bros. first attempt at a Cinematic Universe. They tried their best to copy Marvel.…

Ranking the DCEU So Far
Hey friends! With Justice League now in theaters, it’s safe to say the DCEU has kicked into high gear. Today I’ll share with you my rankings for the 5 films that have been part of DC’s Extended Universe thus far – and yes, this list includes Justice League! So without further ado, let’s get started with… #5: Suicide Squad This movie was a huge disappointment. I remember liking it okay the first time I saw it, and then I realized how much of a hot mess the movie was upon rewatch. The marketing, which featured Sweet’s “Ballroom Blitz” and Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody” was on point, but the film itself was…

FEATURE: The 10 Most Powerful Members of the JUSTICE LEAGUE
Wonder Woman: The Hiketeia We all know that the Justice League is the greatest superhero team in all of comics, but just how powerful are they? Today, we will be looking at the 10 of the most powerful Justice League members. This is based on the characters sheer power; meaning heroes who rely on gadgets won’t be on this list (we still love you, Batman). Also, characters such as the Green Lanterns are being excluded from the list. The Lantern Corp would take up the entire list, and that’s just not fair, is it? So, without further ado, let’s begin! 10. Aquaman Arthur Curry is the king of Atlantis, and…

SHAZAM! Audition Tape Suggests a Shazam Jr. Connection
Director David F. Sandberg‘s Shazam! is quickly moving toward production. Previously, we’ve reported on the Billy Batson casting process, the lighter tone Sandberg wishes to achieve, and the film’s working title. Now we have word on another character in the movie, thanks to an exclusive from Omega Underground. A recent audition tape from actor Brendan Heard (which has since been taken down) contained line reads for a character named “Frank.” Frank’s lines indicate a disability, which leads most to conclude that this audition is for none other than Freddy Freeman, aka Shazam Jr. In the comics, Freddy was saved by Captain Marvel while drowning in a lake. He had a crippled leg,…

Geoff Johns Reaffirms The Optimistic Approach To DC Films
The DC Extended Universe was in a pretty rough spot. Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Suicide Squad split audiences, and many were wondering if Warner Bros. should just try again with a reboot. Some said the movies are too dark, depressing, and an overall grim look on the DC world. Warner Brothers needed to look inward and see what needed to change. After the success of Wonder Woman, it seems they’ve done a complete turnaround. The Wrap spoke with DC Entertainment President Geoff Johns and their apparent rebirth. Johns’ said: “Get to the essence of the character and make the movies fun. Just make sure that the characters are…
