Greta Gerwig’s “Barbie” took home multiple awards at the 14th Music Supervisors Guild Awards, held March 3 at Los Angeles’ Wiltern Theatre. The event celebrates outstanding achievement in the craft of music supervision, acknowledging work across film, television, documentaries, advertising, trailers and video games.
George Drakoulias of “Barbie” won best music supervision for a film budgeted over $25 million and for best song written for and/or recorded for a film for “What Was I Made For?”, which was shared with Billie Eilish and Finneas.
Meanwhile, Frankie Pine won two awards for her contributions to the Prime Video series “Daisy Jones and the Six.” Alex Hackford received two awards for his work on Marvel’s “Spider-Man 2” video game.

During my years working at the comic shop I endured quite a bit of good-natured teasing over my Nightwing crush. I've got a wall in my office completely devoted to sketches of the character. My former boss still pulls Nightwing comics for me and knows that if there's a sexy variant cover, I'm probably buying it. When Dick rescues a puppy in the current "Nightwing" run from Tom Taylor and Bruno Redondo I felt like I was reading erotica created just for me -- if you've not read it, do so immediately! I know I'm not alone. Nightwing fans are legion.
One of the most interesting revelations from James Gunn and Peter Safran's reveal of their slate for DC Studios is the way they are approaching the Dark Knight. We already knew Matt Reeves was getting a sequel to "The Batman," but there's another project in the works that...

Stop the presses! Like you or I, James Gunn likes to read! Imagine a world where someone can leave a pile of books atop their coffee table without the internet taking it as a sign of things to come. Look, it’s the day before New Year’s Eve, and this is entertaining. Join me as I mine one of Gunn’s recent tweets to report on a thing that isn’t happening. Recently, someone spotted three volumes of Grant Morrison’s iconic Batman and Robin comic book series atop Gunn’s coffee table. Naturally, people started thinking the books could be source material for an upcoming project from DC Films. It’s not an impossible leap, but Gunn says it’s not happening.
Yes, that’s what they were. No, they weren’t meant as a hint. Two of the volumes (2 & 3) just happened to be on my coffee table.

I’ve written elsewhere that I seem to have reviewed a whole lot of these over-sized DC Special’s of late. Not a complaint, mind you, far from it. DC could have quite easily stuck out a load of old reprints and hastily cobbled together inventory stuff and put it out and a lot of people would probably have picked it up anyway. They went the other way though, and have curated a lot of nicely done tales, by a mixture of legendary creators and more recent fan favourites. The recent Flash 80 pager I reviewed was especially good. Scanning down the creator list on this Robin book, straight away names like Marv Wolfman, Devin Grayson, Tom Grummett, Dan Jurgens, and Chuck Dixon jump out. I like the fact DC try to get creators particularly associated with the different incarnations of Robin to recreate their magic.

The music supervisors from “Once Upon a Time … in Hollywood,” “Queen & Slim,” “Waves” and “The Last Black Man in San Francisco” and singer-songwriter Regina Spektor have won the top film awards from the Guild of Music Supervisors, which handed out its annual awards in Los Angeles on Thursday night.
The Gms categories for film are separated by budget. “Once Upon a Time … in Hollywood” won the award for music supervision on a film with a budget of more than $25 million, “Queen & Slim” for a film between $10 million and $25 million, “Waves” for a film between $5 million and $10 million and “The Last Black Man in San Francisco” for a film with a budget of less than $5 million.
The award for a song written for film went to Spektor’s “One Little Soldier” from “Bombshell.” The song category is the only Gms category that overlaps with the Academy Awards, but only one of the five nominees,...

Robin War #2 ends up being about a theme that has permeated the Batman family of books since the beginning of the New 52: family. As Dick Grayson plays the lone martyr battling Lincoln March at the Court of Owls’ HQ and pleading for Damian to leave, the rest of the original Robins, the We Are Robin kids, and even the Gotham Pd and Batman band together to score a resounding victory for the Talons. It’s a grand moment that gets cast in the shadow of Dick Grayson’s continual moral compromise as he tries to pull a Batman at the end of “Endgame” and sacrifice everything for Gotham,...

A fascinating note is how every entry in this tale states “story by Daniel H. Wilson” but after nearly six months of this story it’s impossible to say what the story was. This entire issue is little more than a glorified fight scene. Val Zod, Power Girl,...

The last twenty two issues have featured their cast effectively spinning their wheels in the mud and one would assume that’s to kill time, both to justify this book’s status as a weekly and to build up to a great planet shattering climax.

It’s true that this series has made the terrible decision to split art duties between plotlines instead of individual issues such as with Futures End and Batman Eternal, but for once this series does something that resembles competence.
The story this week is surprisingly better focused than the series has been thus far.

This issue marks the arrival of writer Cullen Bunn, of the current Sinestro and Magneto runs. If there’s one thing to be said about Cullen Bunn, it’s that he is rarely boring. He has offbeat sensibilities that make him stand out from other lesser known talents.

Now the heroes face the unironically named Deathspawn, a monster with the power to kill the very heart of Earth 2. Big Barda leads an assault into the last remaining human outpost with an army of “proto-Furies” naturally they’re an army of faceless minions that have never been foreshadowed in anyway, because that would involve effort.

Earth 2: World’s End #12
Written by Daniel H. Wilson, Marguerite Bennett, & Mike Johnson
Art by Scott McDaniel, Robson Rocha & Guillermo Ortego, Eduardo Panscia & Paul Neary, Jack Herbert & Vicente Cifuentes, Jorge Jimenez, Tyler Kirkham & Joe Weems
Published by DC Comics
After a surprisingly pleasant side step last week, Earth 2: World’s End returns to form with scatter shot story and a ten member art team. It’s quite the loss as last issue was a much better paced and tightly focused read and now once again the audience is subjected to a confused mess of a plot with changing art every two to four pages.
Incidentally, there are some over all improvements. The lesser artists mostly focused on the Flash/Hawkgirl storyline has been replaced with someone far more competent. The pencils and inks all look more like real people instead of melted action figures. However that...

Earth 2: World’s End #11
Written by Daniel H. Wilson
Breakdowns by Scott McDaniel
Pencils by Paulo Siqueira
Published by DC Comics
This week brings something miraculous as Earth 2: World’s End finally calms down from the hectic and segmented narrative it’s been rolling with since its launch. This issue is something surprising as the paragraphs of pencils and inkers usually accredited for a single issue gives way to Paulo Siqueira. It seems this issue is meant to serve as filler and explanation for some of the things the series has left unexplained. It’s a nice breather, but not quite enough to salvage the series.
If there’s one thing that makes this issue stand out it’s that the story is much more focused. Main World’s End scribe, Daniel H. Wilson takes over this issue which is entirely about the New Gods team,...

‘Earth 2: World’s End’ #10
Written by Daniel H. Wilson, Marguerite Bennett, & Mike Johnson
Art by Scott McDaniel, Jack Herbert & Vincente Cifuentes, Jorges Jimenez, Eddy Barrows & Eber Ferreira, and Jan Duursema & Drew Geraci
Published by DC Comics
With two and a half months under its belt, the real flaws of ‘Earth 2’ have been made apparent. By far one of the series’ greatest crimes has been how it handles its art duties. With so many issues coming out at a rapid fire pace, a creative team should have a perfectly clear plan for pencillers, inkers, and colorists to follow. Previous weeklies have done this successfully like the excellent ‘52’, where the prolific Keith Giffen did rough break downs for every issue. ‘Batman Eternal’ and ‘Futures End’ are two current weekly titles that have a team of four rotating artists. One of the things that has done the greatest disservice to...

‘Earth 2: World’s End’ #9
Written by Daniel H. Wilson, Marguerite Bennett, & Mike Johnson
Arty by Scott McDaniel, Tyler Kirkham & John Livesay, Stephen Segovia & Jason Paz, Robson Rocha & Guillermo Ortego, Eduardo Pansica & Walden Wong
Published by DC Comics
It’s time to do the regular ‘Earth 2: World’s End’ analysis again and unfortunately, not much has changed. The series continues to suffer from the overwhelming art team and terribly unengaging storylines. One thing of note is the addition to the art team, Scott McDaniel, who takes on the duty of panel breakdowns. However, what change he was to have brought is nigh invisible, save for some slightly better set up pages.
This week, the story involves the primal forces of the Earth seeking out their new avatars. After nearly deserting Solomon Grundy and Sam Zhao to hold off the falling fragments of the moon, Alan Scott returns...

Earth 2: World’s End continues in issue 2 with our heroes going up against the Fury of Apokolips, K’Li. It’s also discovered that Darkseid’s home world is on a collision course with Earth. Can the super powers of this alternate universe overcome possession by dark forces and stop the destruction of the entire world?
I find it hard to believe that it takes three different writers to come up with the storyline for Earth 2: World’s End #2. That’s an awful lot of cooks in the kitchen for twenty pages of content. Let’s not forget the fact that eight different artists contribute to the illustrations found within its covers. Writers Daniel H. Wilson, Marguerite Bennet, and Mike Johnson penned the script. Their saga is brought to life by the handiwork of Eddy Barrows and Eber Ferreira, Tyler Kirkham and Joe Weems, Paul Siqueira and Cam Smith,...

So on Monday, I watched the Gotham series premiere with about 8 million of my friends. I started writing a column about the show and what it says (accidentally and/or purposefully) about the role of Batman in pop culture right now. But working on that column got me thinking more generally about Batman: A character who has been around for 75 years, a figure in my cultural consciousness since before my memory begins. The next thing I knew, I was making a list of my favorite Batman things–the movies, the TV shows, the vividly recalled comic book story arcs and standalone issues,...

Action Comics #25
Writer: Greg Pak
Art: Aaron Kuder, Scott McDaniel (backup)
Colors: Arif Prianto, Dan Brown (backup)
Publisher: DC Comics
Superman has taken quite the beating in the New 52. Multiple creative teams, titles, and crossovers have tried to capture his character for a new generation of fans, but none have completely succeeded. Grant Morrison’s run on Action Comics had a promising start with a younger Superman, but his run soon became quite incomprehensible. Tony Daniel’s run was sadly truncated, and the less said about Scott Lobdell the better. However, Greg Pak did a good job contrasting the young, impetuous New 52 Superman with the wiser and more powerful Earth 2 Superman in his opening arc of Batman/Superman and brings some of those elements to Action Comics #25. The story is set in Clark Kent’s early years as a crime fighter before he had the name Superman and happens...

It's Villains Month for DC Comics and they've taken over every title from Detective Comics to Aquaman and beyond! What better way to celebrate than to release a graphic novel featuring all the origins of the most infamous criminals to go up against Batman, Superman, The Flash, Shazam, and all our other favorite super heroes. Necessary Evil: Super-Villains of DC Comics serves as a companion to the full-length documentary DVD of the same name.
Necessary Evil: Super-Villains of DC Comics is comprised of 26 origin tales and stories featuring Bane, Ra's al Ghul, Zod, Sinestro, Black Adam, Lex Luthor, Reverse-Flash, Catwoman, Poison Ivy, Harley Quinn, Black Manta, and many more. Each of them highlights a major event in the DC Universe and gives a breakdown of the villain's essential storylines and powers and weapons. If memory serves me well, these two-page introductions to each criminal were featured on DC's website at one point.

How come Static Shock never gets any love or support from the comic book community? Ever since the character's first comic book series and an impressive animated television show, this spunky teen superhero hasn't had much luck in the publishing world. He's made appearances in different titles throughout the DC Universe, but remains underused.
Fans got their hopes up again when it was announced the New 52 relaunch would include an all-new Static Shock ongoing monthly series penned by John Rozum (Xombi) and Scott McDaniel (Batman, Nightwing) with art by the latter. However, after only eight issues it was reported the title was cancelled. DC recently compiled them in a trade paperback entitled Static Shock Volume 1: Supercharged.
The collection brings Virgil Hawkins and his family to New York City, where he begins getting himself in trouble as Static right from the start. He comes up against villains like the Slate Biker Gang,...
