24 on Jai Courtney took magic mushrooms and burned himself to prepare for 'Suicide Squad'Jared Leto wasn't the only Suicide Squad cast member who did crazy things to prepare for his role! In the September issue of Empire magazine, Jai Courtney revealed that he took magic mushrooms and put out lit cigarettes on his own arm during a Skype chat with director David Ayer. "That night I happened to eat…
I may have enjoyed covering all of these guest appearances earlier in this run, but Deathstroke is really starting to feel like a chore under this creative team. On a positive note, this is the last issue that we will be reviewing (until Christopher Priest’s run brings in Damian, anyway), so at least I can…
Warner Bros. released their electronic press kit over the weekend for Suicide Squad. It included 8 clips from the movie and behind-the-scenes footage, and now the 16 video interviews below. Each member of the cast and crew spends a few minutes talking about various topics, and there's some interesting nuggets in there. Hear from Jared…
Yesterday Bleeding Cool reported a rumor saying that Geoff Johns had been promoted to President of DC Entertainment, and they were right! Variety just confirmed the news, saying that Johns will retain his Chief Operating Officer title and continue to report to DC Entertainment's Diane Nelson, who also has the title of "President". The change…
James Tynion IV is quickly proving to be one of the best Batman writers out there. For me, his stuff is simply hitting that perfect sweet spot. It's definitely an homage, but presented in a new way that doesn't debase the material being referenced. But that's not all. You've got plenty of moments thrown in…
This is a strange conclusion to Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti’s run on Harley Quinn, mostly because the series is ending only to be rebooted in August as a twice-monthly ongoing series with basically the same original team intact. It’s a slightly bizarre decision on the part of DC, but honestly nothing surprises me with…
The big question everyone is asking: is Hope Larson going to bring Batgirl back to her potential glory? I won’t make you suffer through a whole review to get the answer. The short of it is that Hope has put HOPE on the horizon. “Beyond Burnside” gets us out of the Gotham burb and half…
Jared Leto is on the cover of the August 11th issue of Rolling Stone magazine, and there's a big feature story on him inside. It was published online today, and Leto talks a lot about playing The Joker in Suicide Squad. At one point during the interview, kind of randomly, Leto just blurted out "If…
You look at a title like "Better Than Batman" and your mind can go several different places. Are they trying to say that Nightwing is better than Batman? Ignoring the fact that Batman himself has said just as much before, it's easy to think that such an inflammatory title can come across as disrespectful to…
The Killing Joke. There’s a good chance you’ve heard of this book. I mean, it’s only one of the most famous graphic novels of all time, and some would even argue it is THE most famous graphic novel of all time. Often considered the greatest Joker story ever told, The Killing Joke has served as…
At Comic-Con, Warner Bros. and Samsung teamed up to give fans a Suicide Squad virtual reality experience. Samsung released the video above to show how they were able to put fans into one of the biggest action scenes from the movie. There's some new footage in the video, but what's really cool is all the…
What follows is a complete transcription of the interview I had with James Tynion IV on Saturday July 23rd at the 2016 San Diego Comic Convention. While my interview with Tom King was very straightforward, my chat with Tynion devolved into nothing more than a couple of guys geeking out over there favorite character. When…
After San Diego Comic-Con wrapped this weekend, the inevitable question arose. Who "won" the big show? Was it DC Films or Marvel Studios? Well, according to some cold hard facts, it was DC Films. More specifically, Suicide Squad! Variety gathered metrics put together by ListenFirst Media, to determine which movie this weekend received the most…
I’m back from SDCC! I originally planned on writing this post on the train back to Los Angeles, but the moment I got on the train, I was informed that their wifi wasn’t working. I’d also made a promise to my other half that I wasn’t going to come home and just stick my head…
Suicide Squad is all over the upcoming September issue of Empire magazine, which goes on sales on July 28th, but there's some new Wonder Woman goodies inside as well. Empire shared an exclusive new image of Gal Gadot from Wonder Woman today, which shows the Amazon warrior crouched down, ready to go to battle. Last…
What follows is a complete transcription of the interview I had with Tom King on Friday July 22nd at the 2016 San Diego Comic Convention. Tom King was a delight to speak with. Funny, sincere, and exuberant. Before I even had a chance to speak, the man thanked ME for interviewing HIM. It usually goes…
Jared Leto just shared a new photo of himself as The Joker from Suicide Squad on Instagram. It's simple, yet creepy. His caption once again included just some green emojis. This time it's a heart, snake, and an apple. We're less than two weeks away now from David Ayer's movie about the "bad guys". It…
Suicide Squad is all over the September issue of Empire magazine, and they couldn't keep everything contained to just one cover! There are three covers overall, one that features Jared Leto as The Joker, another that features the entire cast in costume, and finally there's a subscriber exclusive cover that features Margot Robbie as Harley…
The Flash director Rick Famuyiwa got his pick! Earlier this month we learned that Kiersey Clemons was the director's first choice to play Iris West in The Flash, and today Variety is reporting that it's a done deal. Clemons will star opposite Ezra Miller as Iris West, the tough-as-nails journalist and friend of Barry Allen,…
