28 on Arrow's Stephen Amell promises "super happy ending"Nailing the ending of a long, epic tale can be really tough. A lot of Game of Thrones fans would argue it's impossible. But with Arrow ending this fall, series star Stephen Amell and his producer Marc Guggenheim are promising that at the very least, we'll get a "super-happy ending." Talking last week at San…
We're now 20 episodes into our re-watch of Batman: The Animated Series, and a trend is starting to emerge. While the overall series holds up extraordinarily well, it's hardly surprising that certain parts just don't. Inevitably, though, it's the villain-of-the-week episodes that stand out most often as being disappointing. We get an exception like the…
It's easy for us to look at all the comic book movies and shows hitting our screens these days and say "I could do better," but any adaptation is going to have challenges. In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, Arrowverse creator Greg Berlanti talks about his approach to adapting an idea that seems incredibly…
Supergirl season 5 is shaking things up a big way and it hasn't even started. Cast members are leaving and joining, getting hair cuts, and more. One of the biggest changes coming this season is that Supergirl is finally - in season 5 - getting her first new supersuit. Melissa Benoist revealed it via Instagram…
If you've been paying attention over the last few months, you know we loved Doom Patrol. But with the premature cancellation of Swamp Thing and the unveiling of HBO Max, we wondered if our unheroes would get a chance to get weird again. And, mercifully, news came at the DC Universe San Diego Comic-Con panel. Doom…
There are a million streaming services and premium channels, and it seems like every one of them has a comic book show. It's tough to know which one to put your money down on, and most of the trial periods are hardly enough to get your feet wet. With Pennyworth hitting EPIX next weekend, the…
Last week, we talked about a one-off episode that showed Batman fighting a villain whose complicated and tragic family dynamic was a bigger part of the story than his gimmicky invisibility suit. This week, we're talking about one of my all-time favorite episodes of Batman: The Animated Series: "Beware the Gray Ghost." It's a meta…
After an intense - and very good - season 4, Supergirl season 5 is approaching and it looks like the show is shaking things up. Not only is Supergirl getting a new suit for the first time ever, but some principal cast members are changing. If you consider casting news spoilers, this is your chance…
When Shazam! released earlier this year, a lot of people were impressed. Critics were impressed enough that the movie pulled a 91% on Rotten Tomatoes. Fans were impressed enough that the movie made $364 million worldwide on a $100 million budget. And Warner execs were impressed enough that they're fast-tracking the sequel. Speaking at the…
In the final fight scenes of Supergirl season 4, Supergirl donned a Kryptonite-resistant suit of power armor in an effort to stop Lex Luthor, protect her Russian body double, and save the world. It seems like Kara Zor-El got used to life without her swishy skirt, because this year, Krypton's last daughter is donning something…
As we've gone through the first 16 episodes of Batman: The Animated Series, the results have been surprising. The show holds up extraordinarily well as a whole work, but many episodes aren't quite as good as I remember them being. Our next two installments of Remastered and Rewatched will cover two that have actually improved…
When I say "Superhero Furniture," I can predict with pretty good accuracy what images pop into your head; lumpy, silly furniture designed for kids. Spider-Man bean bags, Superman pillows, Wonder Woman sheets. We might love that stuff, but for many of us it's more suited to our sons, daughters, nieces and nephews who are still…
Our previous installment of Batman: Remastered and Rewatched outlined a high point for the series. If you thought that meant Batman: The Animated Series was hitting its stride, you might be unpleasantly surprised by this week's offering, which introduces Catwoman, a weird and unlikeable version of Batman, and a villain that sits among the animated…
With all these Marvel and DC movies hitting the big screen in the last 10 years or so, we're watching some of our favorite source material being mined for scripts and concepts. And usually, it's a one-directional affair. The stories in the comics influence the movies and rarely is it the opposite. But in the…
We don't talk about video games here on Batman News very often because, honestly, there aren't very many good DC video games - or many good comic-book video games for that matter. One of the highlights has been Rocksteady's Batman: Arkham series, and since Arkham Knight hit in 2015, we've been waiting to hear more about…
News is just filtering out that Warner Bros. won't be going all-out for Comic-Con this year, and that means no Hall-H panel to unveil trailers, promotional images, or any of the fun stuff we can usually hang onto as we wait for the next DC films. With Wonder Woman 1984 delayed into 2020, it's especially…
I've been a Batman fan since I was very young. Six or seven years old. As much as I've loved Batman throughout my life, though, I'm realizing as I watch through Batman: The Animated Series that more than simply a Batman fan, I'm specifically a Batman: The Animated Series fan. It's far from my only…
Now that it's all wrapped up, it's time to talk about Supergirl and just how obscenely good this last season ended up being. It's hard to know where to start because there was so much going on. What we got, though, was a satisfying story that depended on the relationships Kara had built, examined her…
For the last few weeks, one question has been on everyone's mind: Who the heck is Polka-Dot Man? At the end of April, it was announced that actor David Dastmalchian would appear as Polka-Dot Man in James Gunn's Suicide Squad film. After a couple of hilarious appearances in Ant-Man and Ant-Man and the Wasp, Dastmalchian's…
One of the wells Batman writers love to dip into over and over again is the question of whether or not Batman creates his villains. It's like the Bat-Egg and the Joker-Chicken. Is Joker a response to Batman? It's a convenient way of re-interpreting the canon of the Batman comics, which had him initially fighting…
