9 on This Week in Comics: Batman vs. DeathstrokeThe internets have been buzzing like a fridge ever since Ben Affleck dropped some test footage of Deathstroke, one of DC Comics's baddest mamma-jammas. Since then, we've learned that the elite assassin will be a significant adversary in Affleck's solo Batman film, and this week, Deathstroke #4 whet our appetites for a showdown between the…
Suicide Squad has turned into one wild ride! While the first issue made me a little nervous, every issue since then has proven that the debut was just a fluke. This chapter does drop a little in quality compared to the previous two issues, but it's still a good, fun read! If you haven't been…
Lynda Carter, best known for playing Wonder Woman on the TV show in the '70s, spoke to Variety this week in honor of the character's 75th anniversary. During the interview, Carter revealed that she spoke with Wonder Woman director Patty Jenkins about a role, but unfortunately the timing didn't work out. "I’ve spoken to Patty…
If you haven't heard, creepy clowns have been making threats on social media all over the country, making everyone a bit jumpy as we get closer to Halloween. Apparently this is spreading all over the world too, and a man in the UK is stepping up to be the hero that we deserve. According to…
Gotham Academy Second Semester is so all over the place that it's difficult to decide where to even start. In and of itself, this is little more than setup for events to come. And while it's important to lay groundwork for the story ahead, it feels very disjointed and unnatural in it's presentation. Maybe even…
Just like he did to promote the Blu-ray for Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, set photographer Clay Enos is starting to build hype for the home video release of Suicide Squad. In this new, behind-the-scenes look, Enos shared an image of Jared Leto's Joker hanging upside-down in the helicopter from Suicide Squad. Suicide Squad: Extended…
A few weeks ago Greg Rucka, who has been writing Wonder Woman comics for years, explained that he thinks the character is bisexual. His argument was that because Wonder Woman lives on Themyscira, which is populated by women, she must have had same-sex relationships. In an interview with Variety this week to celebrate the 75th…
E! caught up with Ben Affleck on the red carpet at the premiere of his new movie The Accountant this week. It's the Halloween season, so he was asked if he was trying to persuade his kids to wear Batman costumes this year. Affleck laughed and then revealed his son's favorite superhero. Spoiler alert... it's…
Oh Batgirl & the Birds of Prey, I just don’t know how to feel about you! I love the idea of you and there are moments when I genuinely enjoy you, but then there are times when I wonder what your actual goal is in this universe. Birds… Don’t take this the wrong way, but…
There's nothing wrong with this installment. It's tonally consistent with the rest of the series, the writing and illustrations are as good as you'd expect, and it feels like Batman '66 Meets Steed and Mrs. Peel should. There isn't much to dislike here. In fact, there isn't much here period. This is the briefest, breeziest…
The final chapter of "Night of the Monster Men" has arrived, and wouldn't you know it, now it decides to start getting good. Seriously?!? I've waded through all this monster goo to make it this far , and it's nice to finally be rewarded in some small way, but couldn't we have had more of…
Batman and Two-Face edge ever closer to their destination in All-Star Batman #3, while a deeper history between the two is revealed. After the zig-zagging narrative and outright zaniness of the first two issues, it's nice to have a little breather. That's just what this issue is: it's slow. It's pretty straightforward. It's even a…
This is crazy timing! Yesterday on Twitter I was just saying how great Ben Affleck and Anna Kendrick's chemistry has been in their interviews for The Accountant, and that maybe she'd make a good sidekick for him in The Batman. Today, MTV released a skit with the two actors about that very subject! It started…
Last night we learned that she arrived in Iceland, and now IGN has the first look at Amber Heard as Mera in Justice League! The photo was taken by director Zack Snyder. Mera is the queen of Atlantis, and wife of Aquaman. Heard is expected to have a small supporting role in Justice League, before co-starring…
Christopher Priest has accomplished something great with Deathstroke: he's balanced the ideas of a road trip, a family drama, and the exploration of a supervillain's inner psyche to create a genuinely gripping comic series. Even more surprising? He's made me care about Slade Wilson. Deathstroke has always been one of those villains that I've appreciated…
After Artemis gives him a savage beating with everyone's favorite blunt instrument—the truth—Jason Todd comes face to face with a truly terrifying prospect: a clone of the world's most powerful being in the hands of Black Mask. Why Bizarro? Before Jason or Artemis can do a thing, Black Mask shows up and gasses them. But…
The Justice League shoot in Iceland is really starting to come together now! Jason Momoa and director Zack Snyder have been there since yesterday, and now Iceland website DV claims to have info on some other big stars. According to DV's sources, Gal Gadot and Amber Heard have arrived in Iceland. They also say that…
The team at How It Should Have Ended has released their latest episode, this time poking fun at Suicide Squad. I love How It Should Have Ended, especially their Super Cafe episodes with Batman and Superman. But if I'm being honest, their Suicide Squad episode above wasn't as funny as I hoped it would be.…
2016 marks the 75th anniversary of Wonder Woman, and Warner Bros. and DC Comics have been celebrating all year. Today, Variety published a big piece in Wonder Woman's honor, and spoke to everyone from Gal Gadot to Lynda Carter, director Patty Jenkins, and DC president Diane Nelson. Earlier this year Gal Gadot said that Wonder…
Nominees for the 2016 American Music Awards were announced today on Good Morning America, and "Suicide Squad: The Album" made the cut! Weirdly, its biggest competition may come from Prince's 1984 album "Purple Rain". I have no idea why it'd receive a nomination after winning American Music Awards back in 1985, but I guess the…
