Aquaman hasn't swum overseas to the United States yet, but he's already flush with cash, to the tune of almost $250 million in worldwide box-office pull according to The Hollywood Reporter. The movie hit Chinese theaters in the second week of December and another 42 markets this weekend. The total take so far is up over $260 million, with $189 million of that coming from China....
It looks like the DC Comics movie universe is on the lookout for a new chiseled jawline and steely gaze – Henry Cavill is out as Superman according to The Hollywood Reporter. After playing the Man of Steel in three Warner Bros films, Cavill will be stepping down from the role. The studio had been reportedly trying to bring him in for a cameo in next spring’s Shazam! film, which stars...
Every time word of that Joker movie in production by DC Comics and Warner Bros. comes up, I can’t help but wonder if the movie itself is the joke. But the pieces are coming together and, while I’m still not sure it’s a great idea, it’s starting to make sense. According to The Wrap, the movie is going to show the Joker “as a failed 1980s comedian who becomes the clown prince of crime...
After hearing rumors that it'd been scrapped, it seems the Warner Bros. is still eyeing DC anti-hero Lobo to star in his own feature film, and they know who they want at the helm. The studio is looking to big-budget movie director Michael Bay to bring the easy-ridin' merc to life. Despite the reputation of Bay as the director of some of the most over the top, big-budget productions out...
The Flash might be the fastest man alive, but development of his movie has been moving along at a snail’s pace. Instead of running, it’s been stumbling through one director after another, and set for a long time without a director attached. Now Variety is reporting that Flashpoint will soon have not one director, but two. John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein are in negotiations to...
While we’ve had something like ten different movies starring the Dark Knight himself, it’s usually been a solo affair. The other part of the Dynamic Duo, Robin, has suited up only for a minority of those outings. It’s with that in mind, then that we’re super stoked to see what he looks like for DC’s upcoming Titans show. The comic company has released the first image, and things are...
It’s fun to collect technology, but there’s an upper limit, as much as it hurts to admit. Most of us are going to be happy with one phone, one game console, one television. After that, you need stuff to do on all that tech. And maybe a little something for when the power goes out. We love the Marvel Cinematic Universe and DC Extended Universe, so we’re going to dive into the best ways...
It’s hard to tell who is in control at Warner Bros. these days. The mouth is saying one thing while the hands are doing another. The latest evidence of this comes from the opening scene of the studio’s new film, Justice League. If it seemed to you like it stopped short, it wasn’t just you. The opening scene of Justice League has Batman tangling with a random criminal, with their...
Justice League is a movie that, from end to end, is at odds with itself. It calls out themes but doesn't embody them. It moves like a flash in some parts (sorry, had to say it) but is a slog in others. The characters are a blast, but the story is a snooze. There are flashes of brightness, but the movie is still trying to snuff them under a blanket of oppressive darkness. There's good to...
I was stoked about Wonder Woman even before it hit theaters, but I would never have guessed just how successful it would end up being both with critics and moviegoers alike. While the DCEU in general has struggled, DC’s reigning princess has pulled a lot of weight onto her shoulders. It’s not surprising that the studio and big parties interested in the movie are taking a hard look at...
