Going out of the box is probably one of the best and yet, one of the rarest strategies that filmmakers and showmakers use. However, that wasn’t the case with Teen Titans which made the show very popular, especially among kids.
A still from Teen Titans
With its premiere on July 19, 2003, Teen Titans entered into the world of cartoons with a bang. The show premiered on Cartoon Network channel with its first two seasons also available on Kids’ WB. It immediately became a popular show with its funny and interesting characters. Major credit behind its success surely goes to its creator and developer, Glen Murakami.
In fact, due to a big step taken by Murakami regarding the show, the entire world saw and recognized a few characters of the show who were earlier mildly known.

The “Teen Titans” superhero team appearing in numerous DC Comics titles since 1964, is being developed into a live-action feature film, to be written by Ana Nogueira (“Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow”):
“…as the group's name indicates, the members are teenage superheroes, many of whom have acted as sidekicks to DC's premier superheroes in the ‘Justice League’.
“The original team later becomes known as the ‘Titans’ when the members age out of their teenage years…
“…while the ‘Teen Titans’ name is continued by subsequent generations of young heroes.
“First appearing in 1964 in ‘The Brave and the Bold’ #54, the team was formed by ‘Kid Flash’ (‘Wally West’), ‘Robin’ (‘Dick Grayson’), and ‘Aqualad’ (‘Garth’)…
“…before adopting the name ‘Teen Titans’ in issue #60 with the addition of ‘Wonder Girl’ (‘Donna Troy’) to their ranks…”

Welcome to Sales to Astonish, a new column in association with comics retailer The Unreality Store, in which Matthew De Monti brings us news on comic sales and the general moves in the comic market over the past month or so!
To start the Year in Review I’ll start with looking at sales by product type and then touch upon some general themes at the end.
Marvel Comics
2023 for me has undoubtedly been all about Marvel with back issue sales accounting for around 60% of the year’s sales. I’ve been staggered by the continued demand for Marvel back issues, especially titles from the late 80’s and early 90’s that I can remember hitting the shelves. Many of these issues, especially the likes of X-Men and Spiderman had print runs into the hundreds of thousands every month so you would think that there is an abundance of copies out there.

This Blue Beetle article contains spoilers.
At the start of Blue Beetle’s second act, protagonist Jaime Reyes (Xolo Maridueña) asks an important question: “Who the hell was Blue Beetle?”
A lot of viewers wondered the same thing when the Warner Bros. movie came to theaters earlier this year and they’ll likely be asking it again now that the movie is streaming on Max. People don’t ask that same question of Superman, Batman, or Wonder Woman, but not because Blue Beetle is at best a C-lister in the DC Comics bullpen. Rather it’s because the man behind the Blue Beetle mask has changed several times since Charles Nicholas Wojtkoski debuted the character in 1939.
The big-screen adaptation introduces Blue Beetle as Jaime Reyes, who is a recent college grad forced to the superhero identity after receiving an alien scarab from Jenny Kord (Bruna Marquezine), the daughter of inventor Ted Kord,...

A few weeks ago, DC released the announcement video of ‘Suicide Squad Isekai‘ on their official YouTube page, an upcoming anime television series based on the famous DC Comics team of supervillains, Suicide Squad. Of course, many fans of the genre are excited about the project, which will see Warner Bros. Japan, Production I.G and Wit Studio collaboration in action. This isn’t the first time DC ventured into Japanese animation, with ‘Deadshot’ and ‘Working Through the Pain’ being among many successful projects, and it seems that the animators behind ‘Attack on Titan,’ ‘Spy x Family’ and ‘Vinland Saga’ will take on the notable DC supervillains.
This, for many unconventional, collaboration will try to attract both anime and comic book fans, and the recent Anime Expo revealed some details of the project. However, besides the upcoming ‘Suicide Squad Isekai’ anime, the series director, Eri Osada, revealed more details about some...

Whether it’s the questionable FX, the lead star’s very controversial dalliances, or just audiences being burned one too many times by Comic Book Films, there’s one movie that is all anyone can talk about. And look, I get it. There was a lot of craziness that went on during this production and had more people come and go due to creative differences than any movie we’ve covered on the show.
Warning you guys and gals right now, if you haven’t seen The Flash, you’re going to want to turn back now, because this is where things get Super spoilery.
Warner Brothers tried getting a Flash movie off the ground in the late 80’s with comic writer Jeph Loeb being brought in to write the screenplay. Unfortunately nothing ever came of the property until 2004 when David S Goyer signed on to write,direct and produce a new Flash.

The Flash may be the fastest man alive, but his upcoming movie has had a slow crawl to release. We've previously documented the full timeline of production on "The Flash" and the many different directors and writers who've been at the helm. In 2015, Phil Lord and Christopher Miller ("The Lego Movie") were hired to write a treatment for "The Flash," with an option to direct. They instead chose to board "Solo: A Star Wars Story" as co-directors, but were later fired from that movie and replaced with Ron Howard. Fortunately, they got a second shot at the world of superheroes with "Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse".
The final version of "The Flash" was directed by Andy Muschietti ("It") and written by John Francis Daley & Jonathan Goldstein ("Spider-Man: Homecoming"), and Joby Harold ("Army of the Dead"). However, Lord and Miller retain off-screen writing credits for "additional material," indicating that elements of their...

This post contains spoilers for The Flash series finale.
The Flash has always been about hope, even when things look darkest. And for fans of the Arrowverse, it’s hard to imagine anything darker than the series finale. Not only is the official Arrowverse coming to a close with the end of The Flash, but even other superhero shows on the CW face an uncertain future, with Superman & Lois and Gotham Knights facing potential cancelation. And yet, during the final episode of The Flash, hope arrived in the form of a lightning bolt.
As expected, the final episode built to a showdown between Flash Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) and Cobalt Blue (Rick Cosnett). But the really exciting part of the show came in its final seconds, when Barry told a story to his and Iris’s (Candice Patton) newborn daughter Nora, herself destined to become super-speedster Xs (Jessica Parker Kennedy...

In its final season, so far, C.W.’s The Flash has never really made the impression of making an honest effort to redeem itself from the mediocrity of the past few seasons, nor did it offer the long-time fans something to feel excited about—that is, until the recently released ninth episode of this season titled It’s my party, and I’ll die if I want to. It saw the return of fan-favorite CW Arrowverse icons, can be easily regarded as some of the top stuff in comic-book-oriented media on the small screen in recent times, along with HBO Max’s Titans Season 4 Episode 9 and the ongoing Superman & Lois. The long-awaited return of Green Arrow in the final season of The Flash was something that kept the fans binge-watching the series once again, and the episode brought him back with due reverence as well.

The Flash Season 9 Episode 9
The end is truly nigh. After a handful of more standalone-style “interlude” episodes, The Flash enters its endgame with an hour that brings back old favorites and takes big narrative swings, restoring the multiverse and reminding Barry Allen of why he became a hero in the first place.
Any The Flash episode that features the long-awaited return of Keiynan Lonsdale as Wally West, as well as guest appearances from Arrow stars Stephen Amell and David Ramsey, is basically guaranteed to be a must-watch, but “It’s My Party And I’ll Die If I Want To” is a surprisingly emotional installment on top of that, one that offers several characters some much-needed closure and a chance to rededicate themselves to fighting the good fight.

This week’s long-hyped episode of The Flash opens with a birthday party, but it’s the fans who are getting the big gift: O.G. hero Stephen Amell returns as Oliver Queen…sort of. At Team Flash’s bash for Barry Allen (Grant Gustin), fellow Speedster Wally West (Keiynan Lonsdale) and old pal John Diggle (David Ramsey) are welcome guests; Season 6 villain Bloodwork (Sendhil Ramamurthy) is not. When a celebratory toast leads to a mass poisoning, Amell’s Ollie — who died and became the Spectre during Arrow’s final episodes in 2020 — shows up at the perfect time to help save the day. And maybe not for the last time, hints the actor. We recently caught with our old pal Amell, who caught us up on not just his appearance of The Flash, but also his upcoming return to the ring in Heels. Hello, sir! Stephen Amell: How are you?...

This post contains minor spoilers for The Flash movie.
Everyone talks about Batman, Spider-Man, and the X-Men when talking about the great rogues galleries in superhero comics. But the Flash belongs up there with the rest of them. Even before writer Geoff Johns made the Rogues into a sympathetic team of lovable losers during his early 2000s run, Captain Cold, the Pied Piper, and the Weather Wizard were among the most interesting baddies that cape comics had to offer.
So with Barry Allen set to make his big-screen solo (not really solo) movie debut in this year’s The Flash, fans were a little surprised to hear rumors that Dark Flash would be the primary villain, alongside Man of Steel bad guy General Zod. But thanks to a merchandising leak (via The Direct), we now have confirmation that Barry will indeed be fighting a much more intense version of himself in the Dark Flash.

As The Flash prepares to say goodbye, it will be doing so with quite a few familiar faces returning in its ninth and final season. And Episode 9 is sure to be quite the event, with Stephen Amell (Oliver Queen), David Ramsey (John Diggle), Keiynan Lonsdale (Wally West), and Sendhil Ramamurthy (Ramsey Rosso) all appearing. Directing the hour is Danielle Panabaker (Caitlin Snow/Frost/Khione), and it’s the fifth episode she’s been behind the camera for on The CW superhero series. She previously directed Season 5’s “Godspeed,” Season 6’s “License to Elongate,” Season 7’s “Rayo de Luz,” and Season 8’s “Keep It Dark.” “I feel incredibly grateful that that was the script and the episode that I got to direct and I’m flattered that everyone believed in me and thought that I could do this episode because it was quite ambitious and I really wanted to pay homage...

Every year we talk about what a challenging year the real world had, and how great the comics were in response, so this year we thought we’d try something different. The comics were lousy! Just kidding, the comics were great, but it’s certainly something to pair this slate of comics with the tiny glimmers of hope the real world started to let peek through in 2022.
And this is a truly great slate of books, too. We’ve got standard superhero fare, which seems to get bigger, weirder, and better every year. We’ve got the deeply personal, slice of life books full of self reflection and quiet moments, done in the brilliant way only the finest cartoonists can do.

Even the most diehard Flash fan has to admit that evil speedsters are a dime a dozen. For every Barry Allen or Wally West who enters the Speed Force, there’s a Reverse Flash or Black Flash, who use their superspeed to do horrendous harm to reality. So it shouldn’t be too much of a surprise to learn that in the 9th and final season of The Flash on The CW, Barry will be facing off against yet another evil speedster: the Red Death.
Say what you will about the saturation of speedsters in the world of The Flash, the origin of the Red Death in more recent DC comics does set the character apart, as does the actor playing Red Death for The CW version: Javicia Leslie, who most recently portrayed the title character on Batwoman. This makes A Lot of sense.

If I had to review just The Flash and Nightwing books every month it wouldn’t bother me in the least. Both are great reads, both are consistently entertaining, and both manage both fan service and engaging storylines for new readers. The Flash has always been a fun book, where a character with pretty much one-dimensional powers on the face of it (he can run really fast) has been transformed into a book where the multi-generational Flash family speedsters have centre stage in the DC Universe. It’s a book where top notch writers queue up to take on, a sharp contrast to the mid-1980s where writer Cary Bates was asked to tread water with Flash storylines long enough so DC could kill Barry Allen in Crisis on Infinite Earths.
Luckily for us, Barry got better. Though he is,...

Everything Everywhere All at Once has just arrived to streaming, but the Daniels-directed indie darling is only the latest in a recent flurry of activity across the multiverse.
The film was the first of several major releases to feature the multiverse this year, opening just slightly before Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, which in turn was the second multiverse movie to feature Doctor Strange after Spider-Man: No Way Home, which itself was the second multiverse-themed movie in recent years to feature Spider-Man (with two more sequels to that version of the multiverse on the way). Most of the narrative in these projects, it should be added, were also kick-started last year by the Disney+ series Loki, which made a major plot point out of introducing the multiverse to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Young Justice: Phantoms closed out its season in strong fashion. “Death and Rebirth” capped a string of excellent episodes with some of the best action this show has ever seen, and the back half of the season very nearly made up for how shaky the first half was.
As with all superhero media, though, the end of one story opened up multiple possibilities for the future. What Phantoms wrapped up, a theoretical Young Justice season 5 might build around. As I see it, there are three possibilities, which we’ll tackle from least to most likely.

Will there ever come a time when DC will retire the ‘Crisis’ label for whatever universe-shattering, er, crisis is just around the corner? I doubt it. I guess it’s the comic book equivalent of a movie franchise in some ways. Let’s be honest, the word ‘Crisis’ in a DC book still gets instant buzz, both in the comics press and in fandom in general. I’m pretty cynical overall, yet I’m still the first in line. I say all this as someone who has the original Crisis on Infinite Earths in all sorts of formats. I suppose that as long as the actual product is still good quality, the book still tells a strong story that has a point, then we will be happily throwing our money at it.
So, DC, show us what you’ve got this time.

This article contains The Suicide Squad and Peacemaker and spoilers.
Picking up right where James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad left off, Peacemaker was a profane, hilarious, and brutally violent exploration of the weirder side corners of the Dceu that fleshed out the world of Argus and Task Force X. It even brought some new depth to Amanda Waller as a bonus. Like Gunn’s DC movie, Peacemaker wasn’t afraid to revel in some obscure DC Comics references and by implication expand the boundaries of the Dceu (Green Arrow! Doll Man! Matter-Eater Lad!). But nobody really expected the Justice League to show up…did they?
Well, they did. And it was awesome.
Yes, the Peacemaker season finale actually delivers a Justice League cameo. A joke earlier in the episode to “call the Justice League” paid off with Superman, Aquaman, The Flash, and Wonder Woman appearing mostly in silhouette, too...

But nobody really expected the Justice League to show up…did they?
Well, they did. And it was awesome.
Yes, the Peacemaker season finale actually delivers a Justice League cameo. A joke earlier in the episode to “call the Justice League” paid off with Superman, Aquaman, The Flash, and Wonder Woman appearing mostly in silhouette, too...

This Young Justice: Phantoms review contains spoilers.
Young Justice Season 4 Episode 10
The more I sit with “Ydaer Teg,” this week’s episode of Young Justice: Phantoms, the less I like it. It’s not the same unhappiness that I’ve had with the rest of this season, though that’s definitely there: I still hate the motion comic, and I’m still pretty mad that the show chose to tell the story of Starro the Conqueror’s invasion of ancient Babylon and murder of Nabu in still frames they nudge across the camera to simulate movement. And I’m getting increasingly frustrated with the Beast Boy pop ins, which this week seemed like an excuse to berate him for his grief.
But his week, my biggest problem was with a defensible storytelling choice and not a budget or storytelling restriction: Sgt. Marvel has an addiction problem.

It’s been a little while since I checked in on The Flash, I think the last one I read was the final issue of Joshua Williamson’s outstanding run. The funny thing about this book is that each time a writer does a long extended run, you think nobody’s going to top that. Yet someone always comes along and seems to at least match it. Back in the day Cary Bates did a great run. More recently Mark Waid’s was great. Even more recently Geoff Johns put together an outstanding run, and then Josh Williamson. The Flash clearly has such rich mythology and characters that it’s the perfect playground for writers. The converse of that, of course, is pressure. Any new writer coming in has to take on that history,...

There are Forces to be reckoned with, The Flash made crystal clear in this Tuesday’s episode — kicking off, in earnest, the “cool, fun” comic book storyline that Grant Gustin previously teased.
Gustin had told TVLine that, a short time after the Mirrorverse storyline ends, “We’re going to see something that’s from an arc in the comic books, with a handful of different Forces” akin to the Speed Force from which Barry draws his own meta powers. “It’s a cool storyline that we explore for a stretch of episodes, and the actors that they got to portray...

The main rival teenage superhero teams of Marvel and DC are the Young Avengers and the Teen Titans. The concept of both teams is straightforward: the Avengers and the Justice League cannot fight evil forever, so they decided to train the next generation of superheroes to carry on their legacy. With the Teen Titans, they began with the sidekicks of the main DC superheroes. Their lineup includes sidekick heroes such as Dick Grayson, the first Robin, Speedy, the former sidekick of Green Arrow, and Wally West, the first Kid Flash. As time went on, their team grew to multiple teenage

While the Dceu is set to have three different actors grace the big screen as the Dark Knight in 2022, Robert Pattinson’s The Batman will exist in a separate corner of the franchise from The Flash, which will see both Michael Keaton and Ben Affleck dust off the cape and cowl. With the multiverse set to reinvent Warner Bros.’ comic book series from the ground up, though, future crossovers can never be ruled out.
Matt Reeves is clearly positioning his reboot to be independent from the shared mythology, but that hasn’t stopped him from hinting that there are more costumed crime fighters in his world outside of Gotham. Recent set photos showed extras dressed as Superman and Wonder Woman for a Halloween party, for instance, which would indicate that both of them are out there somewhere.

Slightly under the radar Joshua Williamson has been putting together a mighty fine run on The Flash. I don’t know what it is about The Flash as a book, but down the years it has had some great runs by writers. Cary Bates, Mark Waid, Mike Baron, and Geoff Johns all spring to mind for me, but there have been plenty more. Joshua Williamson has been writing The Flash since 2016, around 100 issues or so, and his run has been notable for a bit of tinkering with the Flash mythology, some great new villains and doing the unthinkable, teaming Barry Allen up with Eobard Thawne, the Reverse-Flash.

The Flash already has a Wally West, and Keiynan Lonsdale is great in the role, but here’s the thing – his character is actually based on The New 52 Wally and not the traditional iteration of the hero, the one who took over the mantle of the Scarlet Speedster when Barry Allen died. With a multiverse at its disposable though, it’s possible that The CW show could introduce an alternate Wally at some point and this fan art imagines how they could look.
Digital artist Saakuran.psd has cast Riverdale‘s Kj Apa as this new Wally, decked out in the character’s DC Rebirth outfit. In his caption, the artist pitches Apa as Wally from Earth-1609, voicing his hope that we get “Og Wally” in the Arrowverse, seeing as he has yet to make his live-action debut.

Ezra Miller has been in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons lately, with footage of the actor choking a fan going viral last week. The video will very likely have a hugely detrimental affect on his career and already tons of people are calling for him to be removed from his role as the Dceu’s Flash.
Of course, the 27 year-old has yet to comment on the situation, and Warner Bros. has remained quiet as well, leaving everyone to wonder what’s going to happen to the Scarlet Speedster’s solo outing. After all, the pic has been delayed several times already and rumors are swirling that Wally West is being lined up to replace Barry Allen in the Dceu.

”After working on his inner life in Tibet, Wally West, aka Kid Flash, is back to help Team Flash against a familiar threat… but one with a very new face!… As always, it’s a real treat having our Flash family member Keiynan Lonsdale back to play the youthful speedster, but what’s different this time [is that] Wally has grown, along with his speedster abilities, too.”

“Crisis On Infinite Earths” is only a day away, seeing the worlds of the Arrowverse collide in the biggest and most ambitious crossover yet. Despite the scope of events already planned, the stories playing out beneath the red sky won’t be limited to just what we see on TV, but will also be extended to comics.
It’s an appropriate move to have tales take place within the four-color realm, since “Crisis” itself originated in such a medium. Even more than that, both 100-page issues of the comics will be co-written by Marv Wolfman, who penned the original 12-part series that the crossover has taken as its inspiration, and will feature stories revolving around four Arrowverse characters, largely not part of the litany already confirmed to appear.

Flash Forward #1 moves Wally West past the controversial events of DC's Heroes in Crisis.
Heroes In Crisis was an incredible book. It told an extremely important story, delivering a critical message to an audience probably not used to hearing it. It also kind of breaks the superhero formula.
The biggest split between DC and Marvel characters has always been what the characters are best at doing. Marvel has the street level folks, the people with regular problems who also have to deal with being superheroes. DC heroes have always been the icons, the Olympian gods shining a light and showing us what we can be if we strive hard enough.
The point where they converge, though, is on legacy characters. Laura Kinney, Miles Morales, or Bucky all face their regular person problems in the Marvel Universe, but they also face problems fitting into or adjusting the...

The sixth season of The Flash is just around the corner, and with Arrow coming to an end this year, it will soon become the oldest series in the Arrowverse (Flashverse?). Before that happens, though, Warner Bros. are set to release season 5 on Blu-ray and DVD tomorrow and are celebrating the launch with a deleted scene from the boxset. The scene comes from episode four of the season, “All Doll’d Up,” wherein Central City is terrorized by Rag Doll, an especially creepy villain able to manipulate his body into tight spaces.
The clip, which you can see above courtesy of Screen Rant, has Iris following up with Rag Doll’s mother about his break-in to her home and theft of personal artefacts. While the scene in question doesn’t really add much to the episode or the season as a whole, it’s just part of a host of...

Though the concept of celebrities using social media platforms to generate interest in their projects is certainly nothing new, I’ve applauded the actors making up the Arrowverse time and again for their continued involvement with the fanbase. Every now and then, one of the folks playing an iconic DC hero is bound to drop some key artwork or reveal their latest costume to be worn on the small screen.
If anyone’s done this most, it’s Stephen Amell. Aside from hyping Arrow and the subsequent crossovers in ways listed above, he’s also been known to have us join in for things like “Meme Monday” and “Fan Art Friday.” Heck, I’ve even seen the guy pull random fans into his Facebook Live videos!

"Terminus" is, plot-wise, probably the biggest "Oh shit" episode of a fairly momentous season for Young Justice. It's substantially narrowed from the most recent run up - there's really only an A-plot, with a B-story for Black Lightning that I suspect is just positioning him for the climax of the season. And in that A-Plot:
- The League gets enslaved by Granny Goodness and Anti-Life.
- Vandal Savage flips on Apokalips and sells out Halo's location.
- The team booms to the Orphanage in space to save Halo.
- They find out that X-Pit exposure is extremely unhealthy for non-metas in a way that it isn't for metas.
- They fail pretty spectactularly at their rescue, and become slaves to Anti-Life themselves.

In case you hadn’t heard, The Flash is getting a new showrunner for season 6 in the form of Eric Wallace. Having already been part of the team behind the scenes, the new head honcho should prove to be a fitting successor to Todd Helbing – and he really is making sure that we the viewers are kept on our toes going forward.
If you’d like for me to cite a few examples before moving on, it’s worth mentioning how the upcoming season will have two big bads – one pre-Crisis and one post-Crisis. The first one, of course, is the monstrous Bloodwork, but nothing is known about who’s following his act. And if that weren’t enough, Wally West will return to Central City at some point, no doubt putting smiles on the faces of many fans.

Well, the fan speculation has paid off. Showrunner Eric Wallace has revealed that Kid Flash is confirmed to return for The Flash season 6. Not only that, but Wallace also teased that Wally West and Barry Allen will be teaming up to take down a real heavy-hitter.
This is a welcome development as, somewhat surprisingly, the speedy pair haven’t actually shared that many adventures together. Speaking at the San Diego Comic-Con though, Wallace announced:
“Let’s bring Wally West back. Why don’t we do it this season… and have Kid Flash and Flash fight one of the greatest Flash villains?”
Exactly who that villain will be remains a mystery for the moment, but the show is set to feature two big bads next season (with one of them set to be Bloodwork). Season 6 has been billed as being split into two parts as well, with each half described by...
