Is Nightwing Ending?

DC has already announced "Fallen Grayson", a new story arc that will culminate writer Tom Taylor and artist Bruno Redondo's time on Nightwing. "Fallen Grayson" will be a five-part arc beginning in Nightwing #114, which will be available wherever comics are sold on Tuesday, May 21st. In it, the culmination of Heartless's sabotage on Nightwing reaches its dramatic climax when Nightwing loses his ability to leap, impeding his duties to be the superhero we know and love.

"We're pretty damn proud of our guy," Taylor revealed. "and I'm very proud of our whole team on our 40+ issues of Nightwing. Everything we've worked on since issue #78 has been leading to this story. The villain, Heartless (working with Tony Zucco--the man who killed Dicks' parents), has planned what comes next for a very long time. He has watched a city changed for the better by one hero, and he has waited for the moment when tearing out the heart of Bludhaven would hurt the most. Bruno and I wanted to put Nightwing on a pedestal. We wanted to show how high this flying Grayson could soar. Now, it's time for him to fall."

As mentioned above, Super-Pets Special: Bitedentity Crisis #1 will be released wherever comics are sold on Wednesday, July 30th.

After a lengthy hiatus, Superman & Lois is about to turn to our screens. The CW's DC series has been renewed for a fourth and final season, which was recently revealed to be debuting Thursdays this fall. While plot details around the final season of Superman & Lois remain largely under wraps, it sounds like it will be more than worth the wait. In a recent interview with TVLine, The CW's President of Entertainment Brad Schwartz offered high praise for the final season of Superman & Lois, teasing that the show's remaining episodes are "f-cking awesome."

"I have watched nine of the 10 episodes and [they are] f-king awesome," Schwartz revealed. "It is weekly event television. Greg Berlanti and the producers have constructed 10 bangers. They really go for it. I've cried twice watching [the first nine episodes], and I haven't even gotten to the finale yet. It's Emmy-worthy. And, by the way, you can watch this final season without having watched the previous [seasons] and still be emotionally invested in what is happening. It's a wonderful, 10-episode, contained arc."

When Will Superman & Lois' Final Season Air?

It has been confirmed that Superman & Lois' final season will air at some point in 2024, after the final batch of episodes were already delayed due to last year's Hollywood strikes. Superman & Lois will be, for the foreseeable future, the final DC TV show to air on The CW, a trend that began with Smallville all the way back in 2001.

"Over the last three seasons, SUPERMAN & LOIS redefined both the superhero genre and family drama as Tyler, Elizabeth and the entire cast effortlessly portrayed these classic characters with new layers of depth and complexity that had never before been explored in the Superman universe," said Brad Schwartz, President of Entertainment, The CW Network. "We are grateful for the years of hard work and graceful storytelling from the show's writers, producers, actors and crew, as well as our terrific partners at Warner Bros. Television and Berlanti Productions. As Superman embarks on his final flight, the team is leaving us with an absolutely epic 10-episode must-watch-every-minute farewell to one of the most legendary CW families ever."

"While we're sad to say goodbye to SUPERMAN & LOIS at the end of Season Four, we're grateful for the time we've had with our amazing cast, crew, vfx teams, editors, musical geniuses, and writers. Since the day this show was first discussed, it was about family. And that's what was created-on and off screen," said executive producers and co-showrunners Todd Helbing and Brent Fletcher. "We'd like to thank our partners at Berlanti Productions, DC, WB and The CW for their endless support and enthusiasm during this journey...and give a very special thank you to all the fans for tuning in. We're thrilled about what we have in store in our final season, and can't wait for everyone to watch as Superman, Lois and all our heroes face off against the biggest threat in the show's history-Lex Luthor."

Who Will Return for Superman & Lois Season 4?

Superman & Lois was just one of four original shows that The CW renewed for the 2023-2024 season, in addition to Walker, All-American, and All-American: Homecoming, amid a slew of programming changes made by its new parent company, Nexstar. Shortly after the Season 4 renewal, it was confirmed that the show would be trimming down its cast of series regulars, with Dylan Walsh (Sam Lane), Emmanuelle Chiriqui (Lana Lang), Erik Valdez (Kyle Cushing), Inde Navarette (Sarah Cushin), Wole Parks (John Henry Irons), Tayler Buck (Natalie Irons), and Sofia Hasmik (Chrissy Beppo) all demoted to recurring or guest star roles.

As a result, Tyler Hoechlin (Clark Kent / Superman), Elizabeth Tulloch (Lois Lane), Michael Bishop (Jonathan Kent), and Alex Garfin (Jordan Kent) in their series regular roles for Season 4. Additionally, Michael Cudlitz has been promoted to a series regular role for his portrayal of Lex Luthor, and Douglas Smith as Jimmy Olsen.

"After Flashpoint, Superman's uncle Zor-El, escaped Krypton's destruction, thanks to Collector of Worlds Brainiac. Subjected to cybernetic augmentations that deranged his personality, Zor-El became Cyborg Superman--Brainiac's scout for a stronger species in the universe. He attempted to conquer Earth, battling Superman and his own daughter Kara Zor-El, but somehow escaped the black hole doom that befell Brainiac. Also surviving the Rebirth event, Cyborg Superman reanimated the dead Krytponians of Argo City and again attacked Earth, only to be defeated by Supergirl and Superman."

Superman & Lois' Final Season now has its official time slot for the upcoming Fall Season. DC fans will be able to catch Superman & Lois Season 4 on Thursday nights at 8 pm ET. The show will be paired with the sequel series The Librarians: The Next Chapter, which will follow at 9 pm ET.

Superman & Lois seems to be going out on its highest note yet: the series has steadily gained attention and hype after The CW started streaming seasons on Netflix. The show premiered in 2021, shortly after Arrow ended its run. Superman & Lois was born out of the multiverse-altering events of The CW's Supergirl series, and the Arrowverse crossover event, Crisis on Infinite Earths. Supergirl first introduced us to the version of Clark Kent played by Tyler Hoechlin, later introducing his Superman persona, while Bitsie Tulloch became the new Lois Lane. After Crisis, the Superman & Lois series established a rebooted timeline, in which Superman and Lois are married and parents to a pair of twin teenage sons.

Although that concept for a Superman story was seen as more radical in 2021, Superman & Lois has arguably helped push the entire Superman character and mythos (including comics) into a new era of Superman and Lois similarly being parents to a son (Jonathan Kent), and surrogate parents to an entire Superman Family (Supergirl, Connor Kent, Kong Kenan, Steel, etc...). Moreover, Superman & Lois has earned its acclaim for being the first Superman-based series since Smallville to successfully bring a vision of the Man of the Steel to live-action - and it actually delivered the full-fledged Superman costume and action experience Smallville wasn't able to.

Superman & Lois star Bitsie Tulloch recently made an impassioned post commemorating the final days of filming on the series:

How lucky am I, to have been able to inhabit this woman's bones, and brain, and heart, for the last 6 years, 4 of which were on #supermanandlois.

Lois Lane has been an icon for as long as Superman has because of her fierceness, her work ethic, her determination, her playfulness, her commitment to finding the truth no matter the cost.

Thank you to our creator Todd Helbing, co-showrunner Brent Fletcher, all of our writers and producers and post-production team, our incredible VFX department... And to our on-set crew: #SupermanAndLois was a big, beautiful, epic show and it wouldn't have happened without each and every one of you. Thank you thank you thank you. I already miss you all so much.

Thank you to our wonderfully amazing cast - but mostly to @tylerhoechlin. My Superman. I am so grateful for your talent, your work ethic, and your commitment to making me laugh. I wish the best of luck to @jamesgunn and the rest of his cast and crew, and especially to @rachelbrosnahan - I'm sure you will be a wonderful Lois and I can't wait to see what you do with the role. Have so much fun - I know I did.

I'll be grateful til the day I die that I had these few years to wake up every day and be

Lois. Lane.

Superman & Lois Season 4 will premiere this Fall on The CW.

The CW Network today revealed its 2024-2025 fall lineup, as well as some midseason shows.

We have new seasons of returning hit scripted series Sullivan's Crossing and Superman & Lois, whose final season is weekly can't-miss event television. Our scripted lineup continues to grow with Joan, starring the brilliant Sophie Turner, and The Librarians: The Next Chapter.

THE NEW FALL 2024 SERIES:

JOAN

Sophie Turner ("Game of Thrones," "X-Men: Dark Phoenix," "The Staircase") stars as notorious jewel thief Joan Hannington in this exhilarating yet emotional story set against the vibrant backdrop of the 1980s - an era known for its bold fashion trends, iconic music and cultural shifts. The series opens with Joan, a fiery and uncompromising woman in her twenties who is deeply scarred and vulnerable. She is a devoted mother to her six-year-old daughter, Kelly, but is trapped in a disastrous marriage with a violent criminal named Gary. When Gary goes on the run, Joan seizes the opportunity to create a new life for herself and her daughter. Joan becomes a masterful jewel thief. She embarks on a thrilling, high-stakes journey that challenges her every limit, driven by her desire to care for her daughter and create a secure home for them both. Through her sharp intelligence, charm and talent for impersonation and performance, we follow the twists and turns in Joan's life, the ups and downs, the heartache and the joy that makes this story so compelling to follow. Turner stars alongside Frank Dillane ("Fear the Walking Dead") as Boisie, a London antiques dealer. Kirsty J. Curtis ("Match Not Found") plays Nancy, Joan's older sister and salon worker while Gershwyn Eustache Jr. ("I May Destroy You") portrays Albie, an old acquaintance of Boisie who's made a new life in Spain with his wife Val, played by Laura Aikman ("The Split").

JOAN is written by acclaimed screenwriter Anna Symon ("The Essex Serpent") and directed by BAFTA award-winner Richard Laxton ("Rain Dogs"). The series is from Snowed-In Productions and executive produced by Ruth Kenley-Letts ("Stonehouse"), Jenny Van Der Lande ("Too Close"), Neil Blair ("The Midwich Cuckoos") and Richard Laxton. JOAN has been commissioned for ITVX by Head of Drama Polly Hill. The series is produced in association with All3Media International and The CW Network.

THE LIBRARIANS: THE NEXT CHAPTER

THE LIBRARIANS: THE NEXT CHAPTER is a spinoff of the original TV series "The Librarians," which followed the adventures of the custodians of a magical repository of the world's most powerful and dangerous supernatural artifacts. The new series centers on Vikram (Callum McGowan), a "Librarian" from the past, who time traveled to the present and now finds himself stuck here. When he returns to his castle, which is now a museum, he inadvertently releases magic across the continent. He is given a new team to help him clean up the mess he made, forming a new team of Librarians. The series stars Callum McGowan as Vikram Chamberlain; Jessica Green as Charlie Cornwall, the Guardian; Olivia Morris as Lysa Pascal, The Scientist and Bluey Robinson as Connor Green, the Historian. Dean Devlin serves as Showrunner and executive producer alongside Marc Roskin and Rachel Olschan-Wilson of Electric Entertainment. Noah Wyle also serves as executive producer. Mark Franco of Electric Entertainment and Jonathan English of Balkanic Media also produce.

SCRABBLE

SCRABBLE is a captivating, fast-paced take on the global board-game phenomenon. In each episode, wordsmiths battle it out over a series of addictive word games of skill and strategy to win points and master a giant Scrabble board in the center of the set. Hosted by fan-favorite actor, singer, producer and director Raven-Symone?, SCRABBLE is produced by Hasbro Entertainment, The CW, Mattel Television Studios and Lionsgate Alternative Television. David Garfinkle, Gabriel Marano and Michelle Mendelovitz serve as executive producers.

TRIVIAL PURSUIT

The beloved trivia game TRIVIAL PURSUIT is reimagined in a question-packed entertainment format. Gameplay takes place on a giant version of the iconic Trivial Pursuit game board, as contestants battle it out over a range of play-along question categories to win wedges and beat each other to the center. The victor then takes on a dramatic finale against the clock to claim the big money jackpot. Hosted by Emmy(R) Award-winning actor, director, producer and podcaster LeVar Burton, TRIVIAL PURSUIT is produced by Hasbro Entertainment, The CW, Lionsgate Alternative Television and Talpa Studios.

Nearly 90% of the participants in last year's WrestleMania were developed under the NXT banner. Led by WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels, NXT is popular with younger audiences, ranking No. 1 in cable primetime on Tuesday nights among Adults 18-49 and 18-34. WWE Superstars such as Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch have come up through NXT.

THE NEW MIDSEASON 2025 SERIES:

GOOD COP/BAD COP

GOOD COP/BAD COP is a one-hour procedural dramedy centered around Lou (Leighton Meester, "Gossip Girl") and Henry (Luke Cook, "Katy Keene," "Chilling Adventures of Sabrina"), an odd couple sister and brother detective team in a small Pacific Northwest police force. They must contend with colorful residents, a serious lack of resources, and their very complicated dynamic with each other and with their police chief, Big Hank (Clancy Brown, "Dexter: New Blood," "Billions")-who happens to be their father. From Future Shack Entertainment and Jungle Entertainment for commissioning broadcasters The CW Network and The Roku Channel in the United States and Stan in Australia, GOOD COP/BAD COP is written and executive produced by John Quaintance with Jeff Wachtel, Trent O'Donnell ("Ghosts") and Chloe Rickard serving as executive producers. Trent O'Donnell also serves as director with Phil Lloyd set as co-executive producer. GOOD COP/BAD COP is produced in association with and distributed by ITV Studios. The production is supported by the Queensland Government through Screen Queensland's Production Attraction Strategy.

SHERLOCK & DAUGHTER

The mystery thriller series SHERLOCK & DAUGHTER puts Sherlock Holmes (David Thewlis, "Fargo," The Artful Dodger") out of his comfort zone, mysteriously unable to investigate a sinister case without risking the lives of his closest friends. Enter: young American Amelia (Blu Hunt, "The Originals," "The New Mutants"). After her mother's mysterious murder, she learns her missing father may be the legendary detective. Despite wildly different backgrounds and attitudes, the pair must work together to solve a global conspiracy, crack her mother's murder, and find out for sure if she really is Sherlock's daughter. International Emmy(R) Award-winning Dougray Scott ("Batwoman," "Crime") also stars as Holmes' nemesis, Moriarty. From Starlings Television Distribution, Albion Television and StoryFirst, SHERLOCK & DAUGHTER is led by showrunner and executive producer James Duff ("The Closer," "Major Crimes") and is created, written and executive produced by Brendan Foley ("Cold Courage," "The Man Who Died"). Micah War Dog Wright ("They're Watching," "First Nations Comedy Experience") and Shelly Goldstein ("Cold Courage," "Laverne & Shirley") join Duff and Foley as writers on the series. Karine Martin, Chris Philip, Peter Gerwe, Dominic Barlow and Ivan Dunleavy also serve as executive producers.

DC is paying tribute to legendary comic artist Ramona Fradon, following her passing in February. The publisher has unveiled a two-page story honoring Fradon and her work across the DC Universe, titled "Ramona & Me". "Ramona & Me", which is being published in DC's May 14th books, is written by DC editor Brittany Holzherr with art by June Brigman and Roy Richardson. The story sees Holzherr recount some of her memories of Fradon, including bonding over one of her creations, Rex Mason / Metamorpho, heading to the big screen in 2025's Superman movie.

"Ramona's body of work entertained generations of comics fans who grew up on her artistry on The Brave and the Bold, Aquaman, Super Friends, and more," Jim Lee said in a statement. "Not only did she co-create Aqualad--she also brought into this sad, gray world arguably one of the most colorful, odd, and powerful superheroes in the DC Universe in Metamorpho--a character who always freaked me out when I was a young kid reading DC Comics! Even after recently retiring this year at the sage age of 97, Ramona's passion for comics never waned, as her presence was a highlight at many comic cons. Ramona's legacy is one of creativity, dedication, and timeless characters. Rest in power, Ramona. Your work, creations, and influence will live on!"

Fradon had a prolific career in the comic space, spanning from her debut in 1950 through her retirement in 2024. This largely included work at DC, which included co-creating Metamorpho and Aqualad and illustrating Plastic Man, Freedom Fighters, and Super Friends. She then took over as artist on the strip Brenda Starr, Reporter, from 1980 through 1995. She officially retired rom the industry just prior to her passing, after years of doing commissions and sketch art.

"After an extremely long run in the comic industry, at 97 Ramona has decided it's time for her to retire," Catskill Comics shared in January about Fradon's retirement. "She will no longer be doing commissions. She apologizes to all the fans who have been waiting patiently on her wait list to get one. She did say though from time to time she'll do a drawing or two to put up for sale on the website."

Who Is DC's Metamorpho?

Created by Bob Haney and Ramona Fradon in The Brave and the Bold #57, Rex Mason is an adventurer and archaeologist who accidentally gets exposed to a radioactive meteorite and turned into Metamorpho, the Element Man. Able to shape-shift into virtually any element or combination of elements, Metamorpho uses his powers to fight alongside The Outsiders, the Justice League, and The Terrifics. The character will be played by Anthony Carrigan in James Gunn's Superman movie.

"I certainly think that at least in the source material, Metamorpho, when he was transformed into his superhero state, I think he was very reluctant to have it because he felt like he was a freak and he felt like he was no longer who he was," Carrigan explained in an interview last year. "I can certainly kind of relate to that, in terms of my alopecia. So, that's definitely something that I'll be channeling and am excited to bring to the character itself."

"Especially with something of this magnitude, it can be very easy to get in your head and get psyched out," Carrigan added. "But at the end of the day, you just try to find truth with the character, and align yourself as much as you can with what you're saying, and try not to forget your lines."

We now know when DC's Maid of Might is headed to the big screen. On Tuesday, DC Studios announced that Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow will be released exclusively in theaters on June 26, 2026. This officially makes Woman of Tomorrow the second film in James Gunn and Peter Safran's new DC Universe, following Gunn's Superman movie, which is scheduled to be released on July 11, 2025. Production on Woman of Tomorrow is poised to begin in late 2024 and early 2025, after production on Superman draws to a close.

House of the Dragon star Millie Alcock is set to play the film's lead role of Kara Zor-El / Supergirl. Craig Gillespie, known for directing Cruella, Pam & Tommy, and I, Tonya, is expected to direct. Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow is based on Tom King and Bilquis Evely's DC series of the same name, and will follow Kara across the cosmos as she attempts to protect a young girl named Ruthye.

Who Is DC's Supergirl?

Created by Otto Binder and Al Plastino in 1959's Action Comics #252, Kara Zor-El is the cousin of Clark Kent / Superman, who is also sent to Earth from their dying home planet, Krypton. Shortly after her debut, Supergirl appeared in a backup strip in Action Comics, and became a public-facing superhero beginning in 1962. She made an array of comic appearances -- including a 23-issue solo series -- leading up to 1985's Crisis on Infinite Earths crossover, in which she was killed off in an effort to streamline continuity. The mantle of Supergirl was held by multiple women in the years to follow, including Linda Danvers, Cir-El, and eventually Kara herself when she was brought back to life in 2004.

Supergirl has been portrayed onscreen a number of times over the years, across film, television, and animated projects. In live-action, she has been played by Helen Slater in the 1984 film Supergirl, Laura Vandervoort in later seasons of Smallville, Melissa Benoist on the Arrowverse's Supergirl television series, and Sasha Calle in last year's The Flash movie.

Who Is Writing Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow?

It has been confirmed that Ana Nogueira is writing the script for Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow. Nogueira was actually previously attached to write an earlier incarnation of a Supergirl movie, which would have starred Calle and spun directly out of the events of this year's The Flash movie. According to the reports, even though Nogueira's previous version of the movie was scrapped, Gunn and Safran liked her work and gave her an overall DC writing deal. Nogueira is also reportedly attached to write a Teen Titans movie for DC Studios.

"A hearty public welcome to Ana Nogueira to the DC Studios family," Gunn stated on social media last year. "Ana is an amazing writer whose screenplay adaptation of Woman of Tomorrow is above and beyond anything I hoped it would be. We're excited to be moving forward on this unique take on Supergirl in this beautiful, star-spanning tale."

As mentioned above, Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow will be released exclusively in theaters on June 26, 2026

As long as there are superhero comics, there will be stories hoping to challenge the conventions of superhero comics. More often than not, I have found myself championing those kinds of stories, especially those that reframe our own understanding beyond the tights and fights that our popular culture takes for granted. The current volume of Outsiders has been delivering in that regard, and Outsiders #7 plunges an already fascinating series head-first into even weirder, and potentially even more meaningful, territory.

Outsiders #7 pulls back the curtain on the series' elusive Drummer, who was revealed in the previous issue to really be former Planetary member Jakita Wagner. As we learn what pulled Jakita into this current corner of the DC multiverse, her journey leads to some surprising discoveries that might challenge the way readers see superhero comics.

This run of Outsiders certainly isn't the first, nor will it be the last, mainstream comic to take a metatextual approach to the conventions of superhero storytelling. As the past six issues of Outsiders have proven, the DC universe alone has an entire pantheon of ways to turn the reader, the protagonist, the canon around them, and even the literal page into some sort of myth or form of higher thinking. But, for both the reader and for the character, there's a difference between knowing those structures can exist and actually believing in them. Collin Kelly and Jackson Lanzing's script tackles that dilemma wholeheartedly, as Jakita wrestles with her massive personal losses in fluctuating degrees of hope and despair. The end result is a sort of comforting nihilism that feels fitting, both for a refugee of the Wildstorm universe and for a DC universe that seems torn between remembering everything and starting fresh once again. There are even moments where, depending on your interpretation, Jakita is either speaking to some omnipotent unseen character, or to the readership themself.

That sense of ambiguity has been prevalent throughout Outsiders thus far - something that has undoubtedly been met with a mixed-to-frustrated response, especially when the series is nearing its four-issue final act. But there is something admirable about that lack of clarity, especially when many of the storytelling steps along the way have been filled with such great heights. Even this issue's approach to DC lore--Jakita's colleagues in Planetary, as well as a handful of other cameos and larger connections--is approached from such an intriguing angle. It all gives me confidence that, once Outsiders builds to the bizarre finale it has been teasing thus far, all of those possibilities will culminate in something remarkable.

Robert Carey's art, which has been a grungy but multifaceted delight throughout Outsiders, is really given a chance to shine in this issue. Double-page spreads dotted with a dozen heroes are treated with the same majesty and thoughtfulness as introspective moments solely involving Jakita, but even then, Carey's intimate close-ups help us start to realize just how much we're missing outside of the panel. Valentina Taddeo's colors bounce between virtually every context and shade, but even those extremes with a sense of warm uniformity. Tom Napolitano's lettering is unfussy, but helpful in conveying the wide array of emotions on display.

Outsiders has been subverting reader expectations from the second it launched - weaving from the threats Kate Kane and Luke Fox are investigating to the fact that they aren't the sole focus of the series' story. While that approach might not be for every reader, Outsiders #7 is a valiant and largely-successful example of how it can be made to work. Even if Outsiders doesn't have a massive impact on the canon of the DC universe when all is said and done, I'm at least thankful that it is reframing how I look at those stories.

Mark Strong isn't one to squawk at a DC role. The British actor -- who previously played DC villains Sinestro in 2011's Green Lantern and Dr. Sivana in 2019's Shazam! -- has reportedly joined the cast of The Penguin, the upcoming Max/DC series set within the world of The Batman.

Strong's undisclosed role was seemingly confirmed by his personal trainer, Giacomo Farci, who replied to a fan inquiring about The Penguin on Instagram: "Yes, I've trained Mark for it." Asked by another commenter to reveal which DC character Strong is playing, Farci teased: "I cannot answer this question but I'm sure you will figure it out." (Victor Fries, a.k.a. Mister Freeze? The bald baddie Calendar Man? Gotham crime boss Roman Sionis / Black Mask? Or... the Bat-Verse version of Lex Luthor?)

The actor, 60, is no stranger to comic book adaptations. Strong portrayed a New York crime lord in Matthew Vaughn's 2010 movie Kick-Ass, based on the Marvel comic, and reunited with the filmmaker when he played Agent Merlin in Vaughn's adaptation of Mark Millar's Kingsman comics in 2014's Kingsman: The Secret Service and 2017's Kingsman: The Golden Circle. Strong has also been cast as Emperor Javicco Corrino in another upcoming Max series, the Dune saga prequel Dune: Prophecy.

Colin Farrell reprises his role as Gotham City gangster Oswald "Oz" Cobblepot in the series set in the immediate aftermath of Matt Reeves' The Batman, which ended with the crime-infested city half-submerged underwater following an attack by the Riddler (Paul Dano).

Strong joins a cast that includes Cristin Milioti (The Sopranos) as Cobblepot's chief gang war rival, Sofia Falcone, daughter of the late crime lord Carmine Falcone (John Turturro); Michael Zegen (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel) as Sofia's brother, Alberto Falcone; Clancy Brown (Dexter: New Blood) as Gotham City crime boss Salvatore Maroni; and Michael Kelly (Man of Steel) as Maroni underboss Johnny Vitti. Rounding out the cast are Rhenzy Feliz (Runaways), Shohreh Aghdashloo (The Expanse), Deirdre O'Connell (Daredevil), and John Cenatiempo (Joker) in undisclosed roles.

Lauren LeFranc (Hemlock Grove, Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.) is the writer, creator, and executive producer on Penguin, which is expected to premiere later this year on Max. The eight-episode series also hails from The Batman producers Reeves and Dylan Clark, and executive producers Farrell, Daniel Pipski (A Teacher), Adam Kassan (Ordinary Joe), Bill Carraro (Lovecraft Country), and director Craig Zobel (The Leftovers, Westworld).

The DC crime drama contains "tons of violence, abject darkness and a man and a great struggle to try and claw his way to the top," Farrell said in a recent interview. "You know, there's a power grab in Gotham now. It's dark, man. Lauren LeFranc with her room of writers wrote eight extraordinary episodes. I mean, just really, really bold stuff. I couldn't believe that it got as dark as it gets... It would be a hard-R [rating]."

DC's The Penguin premieres later in 2024 on Max.

Over the years, Chris Pratt has lent his talents to a wide array of projects, from Parks and Recreation to The Super Mario Bros Movie to the Jurassic World series. Following the release of last year's Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, which ended with a title card teasing that his character of Peter Quill / Star-Lord will return, fans have wondered if another Marvel Cinematic Universe appearance will be on the horizon. Additionally, with Guardians writer-director James Gunn now co-leading DC Studios, there have also been plenty of theories suggesting that Pratt could follow him to this new franchise. While speaking to ComicBook about his work on The Garfield Movie, Pratt argued that either option is equally likely, and that he could very well end up appearing in both superhero sagas.

"Well, it probably make more sense that I would be Star Lord again," Pratt said in our interview, which you can check out above. "But anything is possible, and especially with James over at DC. Maybe there's something that would be right over there. Maybe both. How about both? Let's do both. I think it's 100% both."

Is Chris Pratt Joining the DCU?

Gunn has already teased that a number of Guardians of the Galaxy cast members could end up joining the DCU, although no roles have been cast thus far. One popular fan theory has been that Pratt might play Michael Carter / Booster Gold, who is set to get his own exclusive Max series. In a 2023 interview with Rolling Stone, Pratt addressed that possibility, and admitted that he would be open to it in the right circumstances.

"If James thought I was right for it, then you know that I would have to consider it," Pratt explained at the time.

What Is The Garfield Movie About?

In The Garfield Movie, Garfield (voiced by Pratt), the world-famous, Monday-hating, lasagna-loving indoor cat, is about to have a wild outdoor adventure! After an unexpected reunion with his long-lost father - scruffy street cat Vic (voiced by Samuel L. Jackson) - Garfield and his canine friend Odie are forced from their perfectly pampered life into joining Vic in a hilarious, high-stakes heist. In addition to Pratt, The Garfield Movie features a star-studded voice cast that includes Samuel L. Jackson, Hannah Waddingham, Ving Rhames, Nicholas Hoult, Cecily Strong, Harvey Guill?n, Brett Goldstein, and Bowen Yang.

The Garfield Movie is directed by Mark Dindal (The Emperor's New Groove), from a screenplay by Paul A. Kaplan & Mark Torgove (Raising Hope) and David Reynolds (Finding Nemo). Producers on the film include John Cohen, Broderick Johnson, Andrew A. Kosove, Steven P. Wegner, Craig Sost, Namit Malhotra, and Crosby Clyse.

Crisis on Infinite Earths showrunner Marc Guggenheim revealed via his Substack newsletter "The Legal Dispatch" that the five-part Arrowverse event almost got a theatrical release. The plan was to celebrate the Arrowverse with Fathom Events, with deleted scenes from the series and other one-off goodies airing in between episodes, as well as appearances by cast members and other giveaways in some parts of the country. Unfortunately, it never happened. Why? Well, the second half of Crisis on Infinite Earths aired in January 2020, and the theatrical event would have happened a few months after, just before that season's Arrowverse shows came to DVD.

So -- yeah. Planned as a major social event for April 2020, the Crisis on Infinite Earths theatrical screenings were cancelled before they were ever officially announced. That might seem hard to believe, but remember that Fathom Events typically does one or two-day engagements for their theatrical events, and that they often don't get announced until it's time to start selling tickets.

Here's how Guggenheim explained it:

I don't believe this is publicly known (again, statute of limitations) but we had been working with Warner Bros. to release all five hours of Crisis in movie theaters across the country. The event -- arranged through Fathom Events -- was going to include special surprises like cast appearances and giveaways and we'd also cut together a few bonuses that would have been screened in-between episodes and, yes, they would have included the deleted scenes -- with all the VFX completed, the sound mixed, and the picture color-timed -- that I'd mentioned.

At this point, you're probably wondering why this event didn't go forward. Well, the answer is that it was scheduled for April 2020.

Covid ruins everything.

Above, he's referring to the "statute of limitations" on getting in trouble for spilling Arrowverse secrets. Earlier in the entry, he had talked briefly about two deleted scenes from the Crisis on Infinite Earths screenplay -- one in which Pariah (Tom Cavanagh) witnessed the destruction of Argo City, and another in which Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell) transformed into The Spectre. Guggenheim said that while it doesn't necessarily seem immediately likely, he would put the possibility of those scenes coming out someday as higher than zero.

Crisis on Infinite Earths, based on the comic book story by Marv Wolfman and George Perez, took place over five episodes -- one each of Supergirl, Batwoman, The Flash, Arrow, and DC's Legends of Tomorrow -- in late 2019 and early 2020. The series also featured an appearance by Cress Williams as Black Lightning, and producers on that show included a Crisis on Infinite Earths kinda-crossover episode, where the world was destroyed by antimatter and Black Lightning was saved. Other characters who appeared in Crisis included Burt Ward as Dick Grayson, Robert Wuhl as Alexander Knox, Derek Mears as Swamp Thing, Brandon Routh as Superman, Tom Welling as Clark Kent, Kevin Conroy as Batman, and the casts of Birds of Prey, Titans, and Doom Patrol.

Gotham Knights, which normally costs $70, is on sale for $10, aka $60 off, for any DC fan who hasn't checked out the Batman game yet, but wants to. Unfortunately, this $10 price point is only available to Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and PS5, not PC, as it comes the way of Walmart. If you are on PS5, Xbox Series S, or Xbox Series X though, right now, you can grab the game for the cheapest it has ever been.

How long it will be available at this price point though, we don't know. There is no word of when the deal will expire, but it may simply be as supplies last. If this the case, it could run out fast. Whatever the case, this is the cheapest the 2022 game from WB Games Montreal will likely be for a while.

"Batman is dead. A new expansive, criminal underworld has swept the streets of Gotham City. It is now up to the Batman Family - Batgirl, Nightwing, Red Hood, and Robin - to protect Gotham, bring hope to its citizens, discipline to its cops, and fear to its criminals," reads an official blurb about the game. "From solving mysteries that connect the darkest chapters in the city's history to defeating notorious villains in epic confrontations. Gotham Knights is an open-world, action RPG set in the most dynamic and interactive Gotham City yet. Patrol Gotham's five distinct boroughs in solo or in co-op and drop in on criminal activity wherever you find it. Your legacy begins now. Step into the Knight."

"Gotham Knights is far from perfect, but it is also a bit unlike anything else that The CW has tried when it comes to its DC-inspired series," reads a snippet from our official review of the game. "While it struggles just a bit to get out of the gate, once it does it, delivers an interesting approach to a Gotham-centered, Batman-adjacent story that's got just enough mystery and enough comic book DNA to make it an intriguing watch. Whether that will be enough to keep things going in what is an interesting time for the network remains to be seen, but this is a series that is worth investigating."

The worlds of North American comic books and Japanese manga have been meeting more times than we can count in recent years. While not an official crossover, DC Comics' Jim Lee has recently shared a new art piece that demonstrates what the legendary comic book artist's talent might have looked like were they dedicated to Weekly Shonen Jump. In a surprise release, Lee has shared his take on Son Goku, honoring both the long-running anime character and the recently deceased Dragon Ball creator Akira Toriyama.

This take on Son Goku is far from the first time that Jim Lee has tackled creating anime character with his unique style. In the past, Lee has shared sketches of Berserk's Guts, Ultraman, My Hero Academia's All Might, and more. This latest art isn't even the first time that the DC Comics artist has tried his hand at Son Goku as he first tried to depict the Saiyan in his Super Saiyan form back in 2018. It's been quite some time since Lee was handling artistic duties on a monthly comic book having moved up the ranks to be a major player in DC's future, but it's clear that his art hasn't suffered as a result.

DC x Dragon Ball

Recently, Jim Lee once again created official art for the comic book world thanks to creating the cover of the DC Versus Marvel Omnibus. Thanks to the various stories that were a part of the various crossovers, the cover let Lee tackle some of the biggest characters from both characters in one major pin-up. With Lee being more than willing to dive into the anime world, it will be interesting to see if he is able to create an official piece of Dragon Ball Z art in the future.

Following the tragic loss of Dragon Ball creator Akira Toriyama, the anime world, anime fans, and even world leaders have paid tribute to the legendary mangaka. At present, the manga remains on indefinite hiatus as fans continue to speculate if Dragon Ball Super will continue under artist Toyotaro or if the last chapter released might just be its last.

James Gunn and Peter Safran's DC Universe is continuing with great fanfare, and the connections between its movies and television shows are only building. On Friday, Gunn took to social media to confirm that Creature Commandos star Frank Grillo will be reprising his role as Rick Flag Sr. in the forthcoming second season of Peacemaker. The news was accompanied by a photo of Gunn and Grillo on some sort of set -- which, in the background, features a banner for an event sponsored by Big Belly Burger and Stagg Industries.

It is unclear at this point if the set is actually for Peacemaker Season 2, or for Gunn's currently-filming Superman movie. Given the fact that Rex Mason / Metamorpho (Anthony Carrigan) -- a superhero closely tied to Stagg Industries in the comics -- is in Superman, either option definitely feels possible. Either way, the banner confirms that both companies already exist in the DCU. Big Belly Burger has already appeared throughout previous DC movies and television shows, including The CW's Arrowverse of shows and last year's Blue Beetle movie.

Who Is Frank Grillo Playing in the DCU?

Grillo has been cast as Rick Flag Sr., a decorated war veteran and the original leader of DC's first incarnation of the Suicide Squad. Created by Robert Kanigher and Ross Andru in 1959's The Brave and the Bold #25, Flag is also the father of Rick Flag, who was portrayed by Joel Kinnaman in previous DC movies.

"I did Creature Commandos with Gunn and Peter Safran, and they have a whole plan for Rick Flag Sr," Grillo told ComicBook in a 2023 interview. "That's going to play out throughout the whole DCU. I can't say what it is. And I'm hoping it'll be equally as good, if not better, than Crossbones."

What Is Superman About?

Per DC Studios, Superman tells the story of Superman's journey to reconcile his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing as Clark Kent of Smallville, Kansas. He is the embodiment of truth, justice and a better tomorrow, guided by human kindness in a world that sees kindness as old-fashioned.

Superman will also star David Corenswet as Clark Kent / Superman, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, Skyler Gisondo as Jimmy Olsen, Wendell Pierce as Perry White, Sara Sampaio as Eve Teschmacher, Terence Rosemore as Otis, Mar?a Gabriela de Far?a as Angela Spica / The Engineer, Isabela Merced as Kendra Saunders / Hawkgirl, Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner, and Edi Gathegi as Michael Holt / Mr. Terrific.

Superman is currently scheduled to be released exclusively in theaters on July 11, 2025. Creature Commandos and Season 2 of Peacemaker do not have confirmed release dates.

Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes Review

Critic Spencer Perry's Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes Review gives the film 4 out of 5 stars as a promising new chapter:

It can already be daunting to join a franchise that has remained steadfast for almost sixty years, not to mention one that successfully rebooted itself in the 2010s to critical acclaim, but director Wes Ball has managed to stare down that mountain of intimidation with his cast and crew to deliver. Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes proves that there is still life left in this franchise and that it can grow beyond the fan-favorite Andy Serkis trilogy while still drawing influence from its roots. Even with minor faults, it's a grand time, and a worthy follow-up.

Rating: 4 out of 5

2023 was an interesting time at the box office, especially for superhero movies. While Barbie crossed $1 billion to become the highest-grossing film of the year and Warner Bros.'s highest-grossing movie ever, the studios' DC projects all underperformed. Shazam! Fury of the Gods, The Flash, and Blue Beetle did poorly in 2023 before Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom had a rough turnout during the holidays. In addition to having a poor run at the box office, the movies also weren't huge hits with critics. Out of the four DC films that were released last year, Blue Beetle came out on top with a 78% critics score whereas The Flash earned a 63% score, Shazam! Fury of the Gods earned 49%, and Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom a 34%. Shazam! star Asher Angel recently spoke with ComicBookMovie.com, and opened up about the sequel's disappointing numbers.

"Look, I think the superhero genre is a really hard genre," Angel explained. "I hate when people talk about superhero fatigue. I don't believe in that stuff. I think whatever DC or Marvel puts out there, it's gonna resonate, but if it resonates, it resonates. If it doesn't, it doesn't. I think a lot of the time, people put so much pressure on Marvel and DC in that every movie has to be amazing. It's a hard genre, for sure, and I'm just happy I had the opportunity to be involved in that world. It was wish fulfilment because I always wanted to be a superhero when I was a kid."

During the interview, Angel also addressed the possibility of a third film, which no longer seems like now that the DCEU is being rebooted.

"Yeah, I think we always planned on making a third one, but you have new people come in and take over and plans can change and things can shift. I guess we'll see. We'll see what the future holds," Angel shared.

What Warner Bros. Movies Are Releasing in 2024?

Warner Bros. has many big films scheduled for 2024. Dune: Part Two already hit theaters earlier this year with more on the way. The upcoming slate of films includes Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, Twisters, Joker: Folie ? Deux, and The Lord of the Rings: The War of Rohirrim. The first movie in the rebooted DCU, James Gunn's Superman, is not set to be released until 2025.

Stay tuned for more updates about the future of DC.

Frank Grillo, who played Crossbones in Captain America: The Winter Soldier, is set to make his live-action DC Universe debut in the upcoming second season of Peacemaker. Grillo will play Rick Flag, Sr. -- the father of Joel Kinnaman's character from The Suicide Squad. While it's not clear that the entire movie is fully canon in the new DC Universe, one thing seems sure: Rick Flag was murdered by Peacemaker, and Old Man Flag won't be thrilled about it. Grillo is set to play the character in Creature Commandos later this year, which may help set up his Peacemaker role.

Gunn posted the casting news -- which confirms a theory some fans have been working with since Creature Commandos was announced -- on social media today. Gunn said that Grillo will play the role "throughout" season 2, which seems likely to indicate he's a series regular, although he could also be a recurring guest star whose appearances are spread out through the season.

"Christopher Smith and Rick Sr have a little unfinished business to take care of," Gunn teased.

Given that the show's first season dealt with Chris's own daddy issues, and helped him come to grips with the mistakes he has made as Peacemaker, Grillo's role is an interesting one. There could be a few different ways that a more contrite Peacemaker could head with the father of a man he killed.

"I would love it," Grillo told ComicBook back in March. "I was just with Kevin Feige and Lou D'Esposito and the Russo Brothers. They honored Lou. And I was with Pratt and Batista, and I was like, 'God, I wish you would bring me back.' I said, 'Lou, before I'm too old, bring me back.' He said, 'We'll talk.' But now I'm doing the DCU. I did Creature Commandos with Gunn and Peter Safran, and they have a whole plan for Rick Flag Sr. That's going to play out throughout the whole DCU. I can't say what it is. And I'm hoping it'll be equally as good, if not better, than Crossbones."

In a recent string of comments on Threads, Gunn confirmed that Creature Commandos is still on track to debut at some point in 2024, but there is no official release date yet.

Peacemaker's second season has been pushed back until after Creature Commandos drops, although whether that's to accommodate Flag's story or just due to scheduling and the strikes hasn't been officially confirmed.

Superman director James Gunn gave fans another look behind the scenes of the upcoming superhero blockbuster today, revealing that he had some company over for a little visit. A number of comic book luminaries, along with some behind-the-scenes folks in comics and film, took a photo with Gunn outside of the production studios, all wearing matching Superman t-shirts. The crew included a number of creators, both past and present, who are closely associated with the Man of Steel himself, notably current Superman writers Jason Aaron and Joshua Williamson as well as legendary Superman writer-artists Dan Jurgens and Jerry Ordway.

Justice League International's Kevin Maguire was there, too, along with Scott Snyder, who has had successful runs on about half of DC's major characters. John Ostrander, co-creator of Mr. Terrific and someone who has already been pictured on set before, also turned up for a cameo.

"Great day with some comic book titans visiting the Superman set," Gunn captioned the image. "So many of my heroes all at once it was really overwhelming.

Then, he shared a key for anybody who might not recognize comic book artists at first glance (perish the thought):

Front Row: Frank Quitely, me, Jim Lee. Middle Row: Angelo Exarhkios, Kevin Maguire, Carrie Williams, Scott Snyder, Josh Williamson, John Ostrander, Anne DePies. Back Row: Jerry Ordway, Christina Merkler, Cameron Merkler, Dan Jurgens, Jason Aaron.

You can see it below.

At least two of these folks -- Dan Jurgens and Jerry Ordway -- have actually had an onscreen cameo in Superman-related media before; they appeared in a "Superman Day" celebration in an episode of Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman shortly after their best-selling "Death of Superman" storyline was published in the comics. That story famously went on to inspire Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and Jurgens's iconic cover for the movie was homaged in posters for Zack Snyder's Justice League.

It's a bit surprising not to see Quitely's All-Star Superman collaborator Grant Morrison present, given how much influence that comic clearly has had on Gunn's production. Morrison, who wrote a draft of The Flash with Ezra Miller, is an experienced producer with adaptations of their work including Happy! and Doom Patrol already having aired. In an episode of Doom Patrol, Morrison even has a cameo as themself.

Little is known about the story of Superman, other than that it will involve a version of Superman who is settled into his role as the world's protector, but who also has a network of allies to fall back on. Gotham's Anthony Carrigan is set to appear in the movie as Metamorpho, and other superheroes in the film include Hawkgirl (Isabela Merced), Guy Gardner (Nathan Fillion), and Mister Terrific (Edi Gathegi). The Wire and Jack Ryan star Wendell Pierce will play Perry White, with Pruitt Taylor Vince (Constantine) and Neva Howell (Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul) on board as Jonathan and Martha Kent.

Superman's origin story, already shown in a number of prior film adaptations, won't take up a significant amount of real estate in Legacy, according to prior statements from Gunn.

Gunn is lining up some familiar talent on the project, with cinematographer Henry Braham (The Suicide Squad, Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 3); production designer Beth Mickle (The Suicide Squad, Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 3); costume designer Judianna Makovsky (Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, Avengers: Endgame); and art director David Scott (Godzilla: King of the Monsters, Spider-Man: No Way Home). Casting is by Yellowstone and Oppenheimer's John Papsidera.

Superman flies in to theaters on July 11, 2025.

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League released earlier this year, and the game hasn't lived up to anyone's expectations. The game's user score on Metacritic is a dismal 3.5, and the game's active users on Steam have cratered since launch. It seems Warner Bros. has not been too happy with the game either. On an earnings call earlier today, Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav said that the "disappointing release of Suicide Squad" had an impact on the company's quarterly financials.

The End of Suicide Squad?

Those comments don't seem to bode well for the game's future. Developer Rocksteady Studios has been adding new content to the game through DLC, starting with the Joker. Three more characters will be added over time, but anything beyond that sounds highly unlikely. Some games have managed to overcome negative perception over time; Cyberpunk 2077 is one of the biggest examples of a game that had a disastrous launch but managed to turn things around. Given Zaslav's comments, it doesn't seem like there's an overwhelming desire to put that kind longterm investment into the game, though.

Once development on Suicide Squad has officially come to an end, it will be interesting to see what comes next for Rocksteady Studios. Prior to Suicide Squad, the development team handled the beloved Arkham trilogy of games. Those single-player titles were all very well-received both critically and commercially, and it would be exciting to see the team get back to doing what it clearly does best.

What's Next for Rocksteady?

Of course, a fourth Arkham game is probably unlikely. Batman's status after the end of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League would make it pretty hard, though there has been speculation that his fate in the game might not be so cut and dried. However, with the death of Batman voice actor Kevin Conroy, Rocksteady might not be eager to revisit the character's storyline with a new actor in the role.

Whatever the future might bring, Warner Bros. clearly isn't pleased with how Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League turned out, and fans will have to wait and see what that means for future games from Rocksteady. Given how many years passed between the releases of Arkham Knight and Suicide Squad, it might be a very long time before we know what's next for the developer.

[H/T: Jason Schreier]

Chip Zdarsky's Batman run has led to some pretty wild new developments for The Dark Knight - and Batman #147 is no exception.

(SPOILERS) "Dark Prisons Part Three" sees Bruce Wayne on the run and all alone, with his Batman mantle having been usurped by his militant alternate persona, the Batman of Zur En Arrh. Zur built himself an unstoppable android body called Failsafe and downloaded his persona from Bruce's mind into the robot, convincing the world he is the "failsafe" backup plan of a now-dead Bruce Wayne.

In Batman #147, Zur's plan gets complicated when Bruce escapes from the secret prison his alternate persona has built. Zur also has to contend with Amanda Waller, who sends a strike team to Wayne Manor to take him out. Damian Wayne handles Waller's forces, still under the belief that his father is inside the robot.

However, Zur tips his hand after revealing to Damian that he's building an army of Amazo androids, and downloading personas for Batman variants from across the multiverse into them. Damian quickly deduces that it couldn't be Bruce's consciousness and must be variants of Zur; Damian rebels against Zur, only to find out that his heel turn was predicted, and planned for.

Zur snares Damian in some coils and reveals that he already has a countermeasure in place: a Robin that he creates himself.

We only get the brief reveal of this new Robin (Robin of Zur En Arrh?), but it's easy to presume that it is some kind of android made to look like Damian - or maybe a composite of the former Robins (Dick Grayson, Jason Todd, Tim Drake). The new Robin carries a glaive and has a sinister look in his eye like he won't be afraid to use it.

The Batman of Zur En Arrh is defined as being the more efficient and focused version of a Batman, one that's been distilled from any of the "Bruce Wayne" personas. Zdarsky creates an interesting parallel in Batman #147, wherein both Bruce and Zur come to respective revelations that the 'dark loner Batman' way of doing things is insufficient, and allies are necessary. But while Bruce is headed toward a lighter place (including a return to a classic color scheme), Zur's Robin seems to hint the renegade persona is spiraling down into a darker abyss.

Batman #147 is on sale at DC.

Netflix couldn't have found a better actor to bring Monkey D. Luffy to life than Inaki Godoy. The actor found themselves thrust on the world's stage last year when One Piece's live-action adaptation went live. With a second season on the horizon, Godoy is staying busy, but he's on the lookout for work just like any other actor. And now, Titans star Ryan Potter says they'd pass the baton of Beast Boy to the actor.

Recently, Potter made the Internet double take when he shared his pick for the next live-action Beast Boy. "Inaki Godoy or nothing," the actor pitched. So there you have it!

Of course, Potter finished his tenure at Beast Boy recently with Max's Titans. The live-action series made its debut in 2018, and it wrapped last year. Before taking on the DC Universe, Potter made their acting debut on Nickelodeon before taking to Disney with Big Hero 6. Potter voiced the movie's lead Hiro Hamada, and the actor reprised that role in the Baymax mini-series circa 2022.

As for Godoy, the 20-year-old actor is considering an up-and-coming talent in the wake of One Piece. The star got his start in television in 2006 with the telemundo series La querida del Centauro. In 2020, the actor scored his first leading role with Go Youth and continued to star in Spanish-language productions before tackling The Imperfects for Netflix. Of course, the star has now become a household name as Godoy plays Luffy in the live-action One Piece series. He earned rave reviews for his work in season one, and One Piece is expected to kickstart production on season two this summer.

Godoy may be busy with One Piece, but the actor has the range to bring Beast Boy to life. So if the DC Universe is looking to reboot the Teen Titans in the future, the team should give Godoy's people a call!

Batman has a new costume, and DC is going the throwback route with the suit's design!

Writer Chip Zdarsky has taken Bruce Wayne/Batman on one of the craziest self-reflective journeys possible. Batman's militant secondary persona "The Batman of Zur En Arrh" took control of Bruce's body, and used him to bring an android body named Failsafe online, with Zur ultimately "downloading" his consciousness into the robot body. The Zur/Failsafe hybrid has usurped the Batman mantle, convincing the world and Justice League that he is Bruce, having died and become an android as a backup plan.

In Batman #147, Bruce is alone and on the run after escaping from Zur's private prison. The context of that situation makes Bruce reflect on who he's been and should be - namely, seeing what Zur has become makes Bruce deeply question the "gruff loner" version of Batman he often resorts to being.

The choice Bruce needs to make gets driven home when Tim Drake, Robin III, turns out to know Bruce so well that he deduces that Thomas Wayne's old cabin is where Bruce would hide. With Batman and Robin (III) back together again, Bruce and Tim prepare for war against Zur. Bruce confesses that he's realized that Zur had been manipulating him for a long time, psychologically seeding him with doubts about his relationships, and the concept that Batman's "strength" is in operating alone. With that kind of perspective, Bruce decides to go in the other direction to fight Zur: relying on his family and allies as his strength.

That kind of 'new Batman' attitude needs a new costume to match - so Bruce makes one:

The new suit Bruce designs goes back to the gray-and-blue color scheme of Silver Age Batman, with a yellow utility belt. That said, even though the color scheme is classic, and the Utility Belt and briefs on the outside are classic touches, the actual aesthetic of the costume is new age, with an armor-plated design to the shirt piece. The cowl incorporates both blue and gray colors and has medium-long ears.

The idea that Zdarsky seems to be building toward with his "Dark Prisons" story arc, is that Batman is heading for a new era, in which he's a bit "lighter" in the sense of working with others and embracing his role as a father figure and leader. With Batman lore having taken on a darker tint since the late 1980s, there are probably a lot of fans ready for that kind of change.

Batman #147 is now on sale.

My Adventures with Superman is almost ready for its season two drop! If you did not know, the hit anime-centric series is gunning for a comeback. Toonami will bring My Adventures with Superman season two to life later this month, and a brand-new peek at the premiere has gone live.

As you can see below, the team at Adult Swim posted the epic sneak peek. My Adventures With Superman season two will pick up with Clark Kent and his usual gang. In this special clip, we can see Clark in full Superman gear as he escorts Lois Lane through an armed prison of sorts. It is there we encounter Amanda Waller, and it seems like she doesn't get along with Superman in the least.

If you are are eager to check out My Adventures with Superman, it will be going live in a few weeks. The show is slated for a double-premiere on May 25th. The episode will then move to Max next day, so netizens will be able to peep the much-awaited comeback ASAP.

For those unfamiliar with the series as it, My Adventures with Superman is the most recent title to tackle the DC Comics icon. Starring Jack Quaid, the animated series features some gorgeous anime-inspired art by the team at Studio Mir. My Adventures with Superman premiered in July 2023 to rave reviews, and it did not take long for a season two order to drop. So for more info on the series, you can read the official synopsis of My Adventures with Superman below:

"Clark Kent builds his secret Superman identity and embraces his role as the hero of Metropolis, while sharing adventures and falling in love with Lois, a journalist, who also takes Jimmy Olsen under her wing."

What do you think about this latest look at My Adventures with Superman? Let us know what you think over on Twitter and Instagram. You can also hit me up @MeganPetersCB to share your take!

My Adventures With Superman is the latest animated take on the Man of Tomorrow, using an anime aesthetic to tell a new chapter for Clark Kent, Lois Lane, and Jimmy Olsen. While the trio learned a lot about one another in season one, season two is looking to up the stakes by introducing some familiar villains and heroes to Superman's life. In a new clip released by Adult Swim, fans can witness Clark taking on Amanda Waller once again who has some serious back-up with a new addition to her Task Force X squad.

For those who didn't have the chance to watch the first season of My Adventures With Superman, Amanda Waller was a big part of the animated series. Working alongside Lois' father, Sam Lane, Waller sees Clark as a threat to humanity, believing that he might be the first arrival of an alien army that is looking to make Planet Earth its own. While Sam was able to see Clark for who he was in the first season, Amanda remains deadset on protecting the world by any means necessary, which includes putting together a team of supervillains working under her command. We'll see more of this fight when the second season premieres on May 25th.

My Adventures With Superman: The Suicide Squad Returns

One of the biggest members of Waller's crew in season one was Slade Wilson, aka Deathstroke. In this new season, it would seem that the crew has added the "Atomic Skull" into the mix, a classic Superman villain who has the ability to blast radiation on the regular. From the clip, you can see that the Skull is just as strong as his comic book counterpart if not more so.

If you want some hints about what is to come in the second season of Adult Swim's take on Metropolis, here's how Cartoon Network describes season two, "In the latest season, the three best friends face a host of new threats. Powerful foes will emerge from Clark's alien past, Amanda Waller will take aim at Superman, Lois will grapple with the future, and Jimmy Olsen will spend an unbelievable amount of money. Krypton is coming for our young heroes, and its arrival will test their strength, loyalty, and love like never before."

Chris Pine says he was "stunned" to discover that Warner Bros. had decided to change course on the Wonder Woman franchise, cancelling the planned third installment in the series. The first film in the franchise remains one of the most beloved comic book movies of the last 20 years, and the best-reviewed movie in the DC Extended Universe franchise, which ran from 2012's Man of Steel up through last year's Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom. The second movie in the franchise, Wonder Woman 1984, was not nearly as popular with fans and critics, and due to its 2020 release date also only managed to bring in $169 from the global box office.

Even after the disappointment of Wonder Woman 1984, Warner Bros. and Patty Jenkins were both talking about working together on a third installment. That seemingly fell off the schedule around the time Warners brought in James Gunn and Peter Safran to reboot the DC Universe.

"I'm stunned that they said no to a billion-dollar franchise and decided to pivot elsewhere," Pine told Business Insider. "I don't know what the reasoning was behind that; it's above my pay grade, but Wonder Woman is an incredible character; Patty is such a thoughtful director."

Regardless, it seems Pine had already assumed he wasn't returning. After all, he had died twice over the course of about 75 years by that point.

"It would be ridiculous to try to bring me back," Pine admitted.

Jenkins won't be involved, but DC is developing a new series set on Paradise Island. An Amazons spinoff was also planned while Jenkins and the old management team was in charge, but that's not the same project as the one currently being developed. Jenkins has said that she doesn't think she will be coming back to the franchise, and original Wonder Woman TV series star Lynda Carter has said the same. At the start of the new DC Universe, Gal Gadot teased the idea that she might still return in the new universe, but that feels pretty unlikely from the few things we know so far about James Gunn and Peter Safran's new universe.

You can get the first two Wonder Woman movies on disc and digital now.

The Boy Wonder #1 introduces readers to its narrative via a framing device in which a woebegone criminal is told a story by their hostage in Sheherazade-like fashion. What unfolds is instantly recognizable as the superhero origins of Damian Wayne, but its visual and prose style are bound in the tropes of fables and myths. Damian is shown to be the youngest child in a powerful dynasty seemingly in competition with adopted elder brothers, and it all rings true to the core mythos of Damian Wayne across media. This origin presents a young man of great potential riven with conflicts, internal and external, every bit the star character presented across Morrison's astonishing Batman run. And it seats that version of Damian--haunted by his past, striving for impossible standards--into a new adventure staged to reflect his essential relationships and nature. It's an outstanding premise for any reader fond of Batman's biological son.

The first issue also showcases how far-ranging this miniseries seeks to be, delivering a wide array of supporting Bat-friends and multiple engaging villains. There's plenty of action and humor amidst the unfolding mystery and chase that will bind this miniseries together. Which is simply to say that The Boy Wonder possesses the special blend of entertainment and wisdom that mark great fables.

Juni Ba's artwork is essential to this experience. He deftly shifts perspectives and scale to economically recap backstory and provide plenty of detail and space to the critical junctures of Damian's current story. There's a deft use of iconography in how Ba delivers the core of Dick Grayson's character in two brilliant pages. What makes these compressed sequences all the more impressive is how they are reflected back into the current narrative, as shown when Damian takes a lesson from who Dick is.

The story remixes itself as superhero adventure, feudal legend, and supernatural thriller at the turn of a page; Ba is more than capable of delivering all of these. All of the characters who appear in this first issue are instantly recognizable as they are composed with striking silhouettes with costume designs that are as close to evergreen as Batman fans might ever agree upon. Ba capably delivers emotionality with only a few well selected lines and expressive figures. Every page possesses an undeniable vitality with such lively compositions.

The Boy Wonder #1 is a special comic book as it tells a moving minor adventure unto itself while framing a grander hero's journey for Damian Wayne in the miniseries to come. Its framing of Damian expresses the clearest understanding of what makes the character resonate with readers and threatens to define the young hero for years to come.

The entertainment world continues to mourn the loss of Jeannie Epper, after the stuntwoman passed away due to natural causes on Sunday, May 5th. Epper was a prolific stuntwoman across movies and television with more than 100 credits to her name, including doubling for Lynda Carter's Diana Prince / Wonder Woman in the Wonder Woman television show. In a social media post on Monday, Carter paid tribute to her onscreen double, championing Epper for being "a vanguard" of her field. The post also included a behind-the-scenes photo of Carter and Epper together.

"I have a lot to say about Jeannie Epper," Carter's post reads. "Most of all, I loved her. I always felt that we understood and appreciated one another. After all, it was the 70s. We were united in the way that women had to be in order to thrive in a man's world, through mutual respect, intellect and collaboration. Jeannie was a vanguard who paved the way for all other stuntwomen who came after. Just as Diana was Wonder Woman, Jeannie Epper was also a Wonder Woman. She is so beautiful to me. Jeannie, I will miss you."

A post shared by Lynda Carter (@reallyndacarter)

Born on January 27, 1941 in Simi Valley, California, Epper was the second generation of her family to go into the stunt field.

"I knew down deep inside I wanted to do something sporty or athletic," Epper told Wonderland. "I wasn't quite sure where I was going, so the stunt business seemed to be right up my alley. It was what I wanted to do. I stood in a lot, worked as an extra, in those days you did all that, and I ended up doubling this person and that person, and my career was on its' way. I have a lot of my fathers integrity, which is, if I can do it, I can do it, and if I can't, I'll tell you I can't."

Beginning her career as one of the first child stunt performers, she eventually broke through as Carter's double on Wonder Woman, as well as Kate Jackson's double on Charlie's Angels.

"It wasn't until sexy ladies like Linda Evans and Lynda Carter said we didn't want hairy-legged boys doubling for us anymore," Epper previously told The Television Academy. "They said, 'These girls are just as good as the guys, only they have shaved legs and don't have hairy armpits.'"

Epper's filmography went on to include Romancing the Stone, Catch Me If You Can, Minority Report, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, 1941, Blade Runner, Poltergeist, Kill Bill: Vol. 2, The Fast & the Furious: Tokyo Drift, and The Amazing Spider-Man. Her final onscreen credit was in 2015's Hot Pursuit.

Our thoughts are with Epper's family, friends, and fans at this time.

Another Arrowverse alum is headed to Superman & Lois before the series bids its farewell. During a panel at FAN EXPO Philadelphia, former The Flash star Tom Cavanagh revealed that instead of directing the finale of Superman & Lois, as he has done in past seasons, he will instead be guest-starring in the episode itself. Cavanagh served as a series star on The Flash for nearly its entire run, portraying multiple incarnations of Harrison Wells across the multiverse, as well as Eobard Thawne / Reverse-Flash. It is unclear at this point if Cavanagh will be playing one of these existing Wellses, or an entirely new character. Given the fact that Superman & Lois is now confirmed to be set in a different universe than the main Arrowverse, the question of franchise connections and cameos has certainly evolved.

"The finale for Superman & Lois was taken up already, and so I said, 'Well, I'm happy to not do it,'" Cavanagh revealed. "[Showrunner] Todd [Helbing] was like, 'Well, would you play a role?' So that's coming up for those of you that watch Superman & Lois, something that I'm happy to have done."

When Will Superman & Lois' Final Season Air?

It has been confirmed that Superman & Lois' final season will air at some point in 2024, after the final batch of episodes were already delayed due to last year's Hollywood strikes. Superman & Lois will be, for the foreseeable future, the final DC TV show to air on The CW, a trend that began with Smallville all the way back in 2001.

"Over the last three seasons, SUPERMAN & LOIS redefined both the superhero genre and family drama as Tyler, Elizabeth and the entire cast effortlessly portrayed these classic characters with new layers of depth and complexity that had never before been explored in the Superman universe," said Brad Schwartz, President of Entertainment, The CW Network. "We are grateful for the years of hard work and graceful storytelling from the show's writers, producers, actors and crew, as well as our terrific partners at Warner Bros. Television and Berlanti Productions. As Superman embarks on his final flight, the team is leaving us with an absolutely epic 10-episode must-watch-every-minute farewell to one of the most legendary CW families ever."

"While we're sad to say goodbye to SUPERMAN & LOIS at the end of Season Four, we're grateful for the time we've had with our amazing cast, crew, vfx teams, editors, musical geniuses, and writers. Since the day this show was first discussed, it was about family. And that's what was created-on and off screen," said executive producers and co-showrunners Todd Helbing and Brent Fletcher. "We'd like to thank our partners at Berlanti Productions, DC, WB and The CW for their endless support and enthusiasm during this journey...and give a very special thank you to all the fans for tuning in. We're thrilled about what we have in store in our final season, and can't wait for everyone to watch as Superman, Lois and all our heroes face off against the biggest threat in the show's history-Lex Luthor."

Who Will Return for Superman & Lois Season 4?

Superman & Lois was just one of four original shows that The CW renewed for the 2023-2024 season, in addition to Walker, All-American, and All-American: Homecoming, amid a slew of programming changes made by its new parent company, Nexstar. Shortly after the Season 4 renewal, it was confirmed that the show would be trimming down its cast of series regulars, with Dylan Walsh (Sam Lane), Emmanuelle Chiriqui (Lana Lang), Erik Valdez (Kyle Cushing), Inde Navarette (Sarah Cushin), Wole Parks (John Henry Irons), Tayler Buck (Natalie Irons), and Sofia Hasmik (Chrissy Beppo) all demoted to recurring or guest star roles.

As a result, Tyler Hoechlin (Clark Kent / Superman), Elizabeth Tulloch (Lois Lane), Michael Bishop (Jonathan Kent), and Alex Garfin (Jordan Kent) in their series regular roles for Season 4. Additionally, Michael Cudlitz has been promoted to a series regular role for his portrayal of Lex Luthor, and Douglas Smith as Jimmy Olsen.

James Gunn released a first-look promo image from his Superman movie, featuring actor David Corneswet making his official full-fledged debut in the new Superman costume. However, Gunn only makes chess moves when it comes to promoting his new DC Universe, so the image for Superman contained some choice Easter-egg details for fans to analyze.

The New Superman Suit

Superhero movie costumes are always a big deal - and no suit's a bigger deal than the Superman suit. Fans always have serious feelings toward just about every detail of the iconic Superman look (or deviations from it) and David Corenswet's Superman is no different.

The suit that James Gunn is going with for the DC Universe looks like it has the high-collared design of Superman's "New 52" costume - and the same could be said for the line patterning on the blue and red portions of the costume, as well as the cuffs of the boots and shirt sleeves. That said, the Superman insignia on the costume looks like a mix between the classic and new-age designs, and the photo doesn't make a pronounced point about it but in close-up it's clear that Corenswet's Superman will be wearing the red briefs on the outside - the epitome of a classic look for the character. However, the location of this scene is questionable: floor-to-ceiling windows in a downtown apartment, on a reporter's salary? Hard to believe.

The biggest point of curiosity right now seems to be the state of Superman's costume in this photo. The suit has definitely seen better days than the scorched mess we see in the upper-right chest area. Obviously, Superman's been in some intense battle, and the appearance of a giant, floating, ocular-shaped energized object in the background seems to be the culprit.

What Is The Glowing Orb In James Gunn's Superman Photo?

We can only speculate at this point, but DC fans have theories about what James Gunn is teasing with the deadly orb in the sky over Metropolis.

DC's Solaris Explained - The most compelling guess from fans is that James Gunn is teasing the DC villain "Solaris," who was created by Grant Morrison in the 1998 event series DC One Million, and had a key role in Morrision's now-classic limited series All-Star Superman.

Solaris is a sentient artificial sun that was created through a temporal paradox effect, in which Solaris of the 853rd Century used the Future version of Hourman to travel back in time travel and infect the 20th Century with a virus that ensured its creation. Solaris can infect and consume stars, and through his battles with present-day Superman (or "Superman Prime"), Solaris becomes obsessed with battling Superman and all his descendants, in a feud that lasts from the 20th Century all the way to the 853rd.

In All-Star Superman (which is the source material James Gunn originally hinted at as inspiration for his film), it turns out to be Solaris who is the secondary villain of the story. Solaris teams with Lex Luthor in a plan to take down Superman by tinting the sun to a red color (de-powering Clark Kent), while Lex Luthor had a Superman serum giving him strength. Solaris went so far as to poison the Earth's sun (betraying Lex), forcing Superman to sacrifice his own life to re-power the sun.

While the creature in the background of the image could, in fact, be some creation of Brainiac's (another frequent cohort of Luthor's), or some threat made by Lex, it feels more likely that Gunn is sticking to his guns and is adapting All-Star Superman in some form.

We've got confirmation that David Corenswet's Superman will indeed wear trunks on his costume. Superman has one of the most iconic costumes in superhero comics, with the suit sticking close to its original design over various iterations. One of the most hotly debated topics concerning the Man of Steel's costume always comes down to trunks or no trunks. Some fans like their Superman to have his red trunks, while others prefer a more "real-world" approach to having the trunks underneath the costume. As we approached the start of filming on James Gunn's Superman, the anticipation for the big costume reveal only intensified. With the Superman costume officially revealed, we also can see there will be trunks as well.

James Gunn shared a photo of David Corenswet in his Superman costume, slipping a pair of boots on his feet with the caption, "Get ready. Superman 7.11.25 @dcofficial." Though it may be hard to make out, you can see Corenswet does have red trunks on. It's also worth noting that it appears Corenswet may also have on a black belt, which would be a nod to Superman's Kingdom Come suit. You can take a look at the photo below.

New Superman costume also has New 52 connection

Along with the trunks, David Cornswet's Superman costume also brings back the neck collar that debuted during DC's New 52. When DC rebooted its comic book universe, it brought with it updated costumes for some heroes like Superman. This Clark Kent was much younger and inexperienced at being Superman, and while his first costume was kept simple with a t-shirt and jeans, the Man of Steel's Justice League costume famously had no trunks and a collar.

The collar displayed in the new Superman photo isn't exaggerated, but you can definitely see it. Perhaps it's meant to be a merging of the trunks/no trunks brigade, with the trunks visible from the outside of the costume, but also a real-world appearance of the costume having a collar on it.

What is Superman about?

Per DC Studios, Superman tells the story of Superman's journey to reconcile his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing as Clark Kent of Smallville, Kansas. He is the embodiment of truth, justice and a better tomorrow, guided by human kindness in a world that sees kindness as old-fashioned.

"We got James Gunn and Peter (Safran) working very hard on DC, which is going to be a very big growth driver for this company," Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav explained last year. "We are very bullish on DC. The Superman script first draft is done. Gunn is on a mission from god. It is a really good moment to prove out on DC what we got and how strong it is globally for long-term sustainable growth."

Superman will also star Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, Skyler Gisondo as Jimmy Olsen, Wendell Pierce as Perry White, Sara Sampaio as Eve Teschmacher, Terence Rosemore as Otis, Mar?a Gabriela de Far?a as Angela Spica / The Engineer, Isabela Merced as Kendra Saunders / Hawkgirl, Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner, Edi Gathegi as Michael Holt / Mr. Terrific, and Anthony Carrigan as Rex Mason / Metamorpho.

Superman is easily one of the most iconic fictional characters of all time, with the Man of Steel's story being told across comics, movies, television, and so much more. Next year, the DC character is headed back onto the big screen with a new live-action portrayal, as David Corenswet as been cast in the titular role of James Gunn's Superman. With production on the film underway, Gunn previously revealed a glimpse of the emblem on the Superman costume -- and now, we have the best look yet at the suit in all of its glory.

Today, Gunn officially unveiled the first full look at Corenswet in costume as Clark Kent AKA Superman on Threads. You can check it out below.

"We've been having a lot of great conversations, David and I, with James Gunn, the director," Brosnahan revealed in a recent interview. "We've been talking a lot about where this project fits into the canon of the Supermans that we know. So hopefully, this'll be... we'll be putting our own stamp on things."

What Is on the DC Universe Slate?

As Gunn and Safran revealed back in January of 2023, the initial DC Studios slate for "Gods and Monsters" will include movies for Superman, The Brave and the Bold, Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, Swamp Thing, and The Authority. It will include the HBO Max television shows Waller, Booster Gold, Lanterns, Paradise Lost, and an animated Creature Commandos series.

An animated Jurassic League movie and a live-action Teen Titans movie are also reported to be in the works, but neither have been officially confirmed by DC Studios.

Superman is currently scheduled to be released exclusively in theaters on July 11, 2025.

It was announced back in November that the beloved animated series, Harley Quinn, had been renewed by Max. DC fans are eager to see the show's upcoming fifth season, especially after the season four finale featured some exciting shakeups and teases. In the finale, it was revealed that Batgirl had survived Joker's shooting, and is now paralyzed from the waist down. She was still able to help Harley and Poison Ivy take down Lex Luther using her tech skills, and she revealed at the end of the finale that she was leaving the Bat Family to take her skills to another team: the Gotham City Sirens. ComicBook.com recently had the chance to chat with Batgirl voice actor, Briana Cuoco, and we asked if she has read anything for season five.

"I don't know anything," Cuoco admitted. "I just got asked this in another interview and he thought I was being facetious. I actually really don't. I hope that girl's around, obviously I have no control over that. I love her so much. I love how sort of earnest she is and pure and I mean, obviously in this last season she's changed a little bit, but I adore her and I hope I get to go back."

Max Teases Harley Quinn Season 5:

"The talented Harley Quinn team has once again succeeded in delivering a season that builds on everything that has come before while still feeling fresh and inventive," Suzanna Makkos, Executive Vice President, Original Comedy and Adult Animation, Max and Adult Swim said when the show was renewed. "They continue to provide hilarious, heartwarming, and deranged stories with our lovable group of DC misfits, and we couldn't be more excited for the fans to see what they've accomplished in season 5."

Watch Briana Cuoco in Dead Boy Detectives:

You can currently watch Cuoco in Dead Boy Detectives on Netflix. You can read the description of the series here: "Do you have a pesky ghost haunting you? Has a demon stolen your core memories? You may want to ring the Dead Boy Detectives. Meet Edwin Payne (George Rexstrew) and Charles Rowland (Jayden Revri), "the brains" and "the brawn" behind the Dead Boy Detectives agency. Teenagers born decades apart who find each other only in death, Edwin and Charles are best friends and ghosts... who solve mysteries. They will do anything to stick together - including escaping evil witches, Hell and Death herself. With the help of a clairvoyant named Crystal (Kassius Nelson) and her friend Niko (Yuyu Kitamura), they are able to crack some of the mortal realm's most mystifying paranormal cases."

Stay tuned for more from our interview with Cuoco.

Black Panther star Winston Duke would absolutely leap at the chance to play Batman in James Gunn's DC universe. /Film caught up with the actor as he's tackling The Fall Guy with Ryan Gosling. The question of James Gunn's The Brave and the Bold came up, and the MCU star couldn't contain his excitement. Duke would love nothing more than to play The Dark Knight on the big screen. He's already perfomed the role of Bruce Wayne on Batman Unburied, Spotify's Batman audio drama. The Black Panther actor is also a massive nerd, so the fact this question even came up is amazing to him.

""Listen, man, can you start that [campaign]?," Duke chuckled. "I would say I challenge you to get on all these socials and push for me. Get your community. I would love to. I would love to do that as Batman. I'd love any opportunity to explore new characters, to change narratives around some of these entrenched ideas of how these characters are supposed to look, sound, and perform. I'm all for it."

Winston Duke Stars In Batman Unburied

As we said earlier in this piece, Duke already has some experience with the world of Batman. Batman Unburied has been a success over on Spotify. David S. Goyer penned the Audie drama. WebToon and Spotify teamed-up to bring listeners a different take on the Dark Knight. Everybody involved was stoked to have the "largest simultaneous launch" on the platform. So many people flocked to the app to hear it that Batman Unburied got green-lit for Season 2.

Here's what Spotify had to say to tease the series: "When audiences meet Bruce Wayne he is a forensic pathologist, working in the bowels of Gotham Hospital and tasked with examining the victims of The Harvester, a gruesome serial killer preying on Gotham's citizens. Not only will the superhero be forced to face his own mental demons, but he will also have to overcome them in order to save the citizens of Gotham as his alter-ego, Batman."

What James Gunn Has Planned For Batman

At the moment, The Brave and the Bold is a bit of a mystery. DC Studios has started off the James Gunn and Peter Safran era with a lot of fun plans. One of the biggest announcements was their Batman project. Longtime fans are excited to see what this Bat-Family-centric take on The Caped Crusader will be like. Damian Wayne fans, your time is here, and this time we're going to see the character in live-action.

"This is the introduction of the DCU's Batman..." Gunn previously wrote. "This is the story of Damian Wayne, who is Batman's actual son who we didn't know existed for the first eight to 10 years of his life. He was raised as a little murderer and assassin. He's a little son of a bitch. He's my favorite Robin. It's based on the Grant Morrison comic book's run, which is one of my favorite Batman runs, and we are putting that all together right now."

"And this is obviously a feature film, and it's going to feature other members of the extended 'Bat-family', just because we feel like they've been left out of the Batman stories in the theater for far too long," Safran added during the announcement.

Aaron Eckhart, who played Harvey Dent in The Dark Knight, says he never gets tired of fans gushing about the movie -- in part because he is pretty impressed by it, too. Speaking with ComicBook.com in support of his new movie Chief of Station, Eckhart said the movie has continued to be iconic in part because how holistically it was put together, with a great script as well as great performances and direction. He praised filmmaker Christopher Nolan for managing to take all the best elements of the screenplay and get all of them onscreen just the way he (Eckhart) imagined.

The film told the story of how Eckhart's character evolved from a morally-upstanding district attorney into the disfigured supervillain Two-Face, although as with most characters in the Nolan movies, it was just the one adventure before the villain was gone.

"That movie's extraordinary, that movie's special, and it wasn't just special on the screen," Eckhart told ComicBook.com. "It was special in the script. It was special in the writing. I'll tell you a story about that. I was at home and a guy came to my house with the script. He handed me the script, and he waited outside for two hours while I read that script, and then I handed it back to him and he left. And I remember reading that script going, oh, I felt like I just read a novel, a good novel. And I thought, how in the world can you incorporate this many main characters into a plot, into a movie, into a script, and make it work? But there it is, and Chris put everything that was in that script up on the screen. And if you look at Gotham City and what's going on in Gotham City now, before that, Chris made that movie real. And of course you had Heath who just went off the charts. But look what happened. It's a big city that has feckless and cowardly politicians, corrupt politicians who have given that city over to a mafia. And now the people who cannot walk the streets at night cannot. They have to entrust themselves into somebody to come save them. And if you think about it, how pertinent and how relevant that storyline is, it's oppression. And so I think the movie lives beyond entertainment and cinema."

In Chief of Station, "Ben is a former CIA station chief whose world comes crashing down after his wife, a former operative, dies in a terrible accident. Soon, a cryptic message sends him back into the shadowy underworld of Eastern Europe, teaming up with a former adversary to unravel a conspiracy that challenges everything he thought he knew about his wife and the agency that he worked for."

Chief of Station releases theatrically on Friday, May 3.

Dead Boy Detectives is now streaming on Netflix, and the new supernatural series is a spinoff of The Sandman. The new show is based on the comics by writer Neil Gaiman and artists Matt Wagner and Malcolm Jones III, but it's not the first time the comics' main characters have appeared on TV. Back in 2021, the third episode of Doom Patrol's third season, "Dead Patrol," featured many characters from the Dead Boy Detectives comics. While most of the characters were recast for the Netflix show, Ruth Connell is back as the Night Nurse. ComicBook.com recently had the chance to chat with Connell, and we asked her how her return to the role came to be.

"So [DBD showrunner Steve Yockey] first mentioned this role to me five years ago. He really took care of my character a lot on Supernatural, took care of Rowena, and then mentioned this role, a small red-haired Scottish woman, and Dead Boy Detectives. And he said something about DC and I was like, 'That's a universe. I think that's cool.' And then when it was whispered, 'Come and do this backdoor pilot on Doom Patrol,' I went along in good faith."

"I went along to Atlanta and shot Doom Patrol, and Jeremy Carver was our showrunner from Supernatural as well. I did it with a view of being the character so that if it did go on to have its own series, I could be [her again]. I did it really as a good-faith gesture, and I was so happy to do it. And it was obviously a very different iteration of the Night Nurse to what she is now. But I've been thinking about night nurses and digesting all of that for a long time."

"And in reading, I mean, I've been a Neil Gaiman fan - I actually have seen a few of these plays - and I think they translate really well to stage, but just coming to read Dead Boy Detectives, I just love the wit in the sensibilities in the original material. And I think we've stayed true to that in many ways in the final edit."

Do You Need To Watch The Sandman Before Dead Boy Detectives?

ComicBook.com recently attended a meet and greet with Dead Boy Detective showrunners, Steve Yockey and Beth Schwartz, and we asked if they recommend watching The Sandman or reading the Dead Boy Detectives comics before starting the spinoff series.

"Well, I think that you don't need to do any homework for the show, and I feel like it's more fun," Schwartz explained. "I don't know, everyone's different, but I think it's more fun not to do anything before you see it. So you can be surprised and then you can go back and watch Sandman and read the comics after."

"And we are true to the boys' origins and how they started the detective agency and Crystal's backstory," Yockey added. "But the rest of it is us kind of taking things from the comic books and sort of re-appropriating them, re-imagining them so that people who are familiar with the comic books will get to have those kind of like, 'Oh, I recognize this, moment.' ... But regular people can just watch the show."

Dead Boy Detectives is now streaming on Netflix.

#10: X-Men Forever #2 - Arthur Adams (1:25) | MARVEL | 2024: Arthur Adams' covers have always been a top collector's item. With the recent success of X-Men '97, X-Men covers have been rising in popularity. Mystique is also a top-selling X-Men cover character. Aside from it being fantastic cover art, this book is also a retailer incentive, a 1:25 ratio cover. The rarity adds to the desire to collect this cover and show off amazing Adams artwork! We tracked it at a high sale of $50 for a raw NM copy and a current raw NM FMV of $41.

#9: Harley Quinn #39 - Mindy Lee (1:50) | DC | 2024: What a great cover from artist Mindy Lee! Harley Quinn is known for her wild covers, and this one is on the list! The cover depicts the character in a colorful space suit facing off against robotic minions. It is a great cover and it is also a retailer incentive variant, making it even harder to find! We tracked it at a high sale of $150 for a raw NM copy and a current raw NM FMV of $124.

#8: Something Is Killing The Children #36 - Stanley Artgerm Lau - Thank You | BOOM! STUDIOS | 2024: Artgerm is one of the most sought-after cover artists in the industry today. His artwork has a huge fandom. Moreover, Something is Killing the Children is one of the most popular series, BOOM! Studios has produced. Pair these two factors with a limited retailer thank-you variant, and you have a highly desirable cover to chase! We tracked it at a high sale of $75 for a raw NM copy and a current raw NM FMV of $31.

#7: The Uncanny X-Men #221 | MARVEL | 1987: Mr. Sinister is playing a huge role in the latest X-Men series. The animated show depicts Mr. Sinister as one of the main villains in the series. Since the show's announcement, Mr. Sinister was rumored to be in the show. Fans did not know his role's importance, whether he would be a villain of the week or a mainstay player. It turns out that Mr. Sinister is playing a huge role, and fans are swarming to pick up his first appearance. We tracked it at a high sale of $60 for a raw copy and a current raw NM FMV of 435.

#6: Marvel Team-Up #14 | MARVEL | 2006: In this issue, we see Invincible hop through the multiverse and end up in the main Marvel comic universe. He assists Spidey and the Avengers in a battle against Doc Ock. As most fans know, the rights to IP in comics vastly differ from those of film rights. It looks like Amazon didn't have the right to use Spider-Man, but they still handled the multiverse hop in their own way. Instead of running into our favorite wall-crawler, Invincible hops the multiverse and ends up assisting Agent Spider in a battle against Prof Ock. It's an elegant way of dealing with this pivotal moment while also navigating legal restrictions over Marvel IP. Fans of this moment wanted to revisit the original team-up and are picking up tons of copies of this great event! We tracked 19 copies sold, at a 7-day trend of 63%, with a high sale of $775 for a CGC 9.8 copy and a current raw NM FMV of $275.

#5: X-Men #53 | MARVEL | 1996: There has been so much going on in X-Men '97 that fans are caught up in processing the events vs theorizing storylines. However, that changed with the debut of the latest episode. The ending revealed that Magneto was currently held captive by the surprise villain Bastion. Bastion also monitored Professor Xavier's whereabouts. Fans are speculating that Bastion is attempting to pit Magneto against the X-Men team and, subsequently, Professor X. This clash, at such a high emotional time in mutant-kind, might be the catalyst to bring out the monstrous villain, Onslaught! If this is true, fans have quickly grabbed his first appearance this past week! We tracked it at a high sale of $15 for a raw NM copy and a current raw NM FMV of $5.

#4: The Uncanny X-Men #333 | MARVEL | 1996: The X-Men '97 series consistently boosts X-Men keys that have been dormant for years. The latest episode ended with a surprise villain debut: the mastermind behind the attack on Genosha, Bastion! In the comic books, the genocide on Genosha was orchestrated by Cassandra Nova. It looks like the showrunners are pointing the attack to Bastion and his manipulation of Bolivar Trask. Nevertheless, until the episode drops tomorrow, we won't know Bastion's endgame. We tracked it at a high sale of $20 for a raw NM copy and a current raw NM FMV of $8.

#3: New X-Men #114 | MARVEL | 2001: Cassandra Nova has been a long-rumored villain for the Deadpool & Wolverine film. This past week, the movie released a second trailer, confirming the villainess' appearance in the film. The trailer also built a ton of hype around the film in general. Fans are ready to see the merc with a mouth join the MCU! We tracked it at a high sale of $20 for a raw VF copy and a current raw NM FMV of $25.

#2: The New Mutants #98 | MARVEL | 1991: Deadpool & Wolverine continues to get closer every day! As the movie approaches, more and more rumors are unraveling. The latest rumor is about the movie's end credit scene. Several well-known leakers have shared that they have seen the end-credit scene of the movie. The scene is being praised across the board, and it is said to completely redefine the MCU. However, nearly all the leakers have a united front when sharing any information about the scene. Nearly all information from Deadpool & Wolverine has been pretty tight-lipped, but the rumors have had enough fuel to light the fire under these keys! We tracked 41 copies sold, at a 7-day trend of 24%, with a high sale of $1,382 for a CGC 9.8 and a current raw NM FMV of $386.

#1: Dazzler #1 | MARVEL | 1981: Taylor Swift cameoing as Dazzler in Deadpool & Wolverine has been the most popular rumor surrounding the film. It has been a long time since any new rumor has emerged, but the book has managed to stay on our top lists just because of Swift's star power alone. However, Swift fans are now combing through her latest album, The Tortured Poets Department, to find out any information about her cameo. In the final track of her album, Clara Bow, there is a lyric that reads, "The future's bright, dazzling." This small line has been speculated as the star's way of confirming to her fans that she will be playing the character Dazzler. Obviously, this is not hard evidence, but it was enough to push this book back to the number one spot! We tracked 61 copies sold, at a 7-day trend of 110%, with a high sale of $174 for a CGC 9.8 and a current raw NM FMV of $9.
