While aimed at kids, Dcau was no stranger to crossing boundaries by incorporating s-xual innuendos and double entendres into their shows in order to keep the adults hooked. Although Batman: The Animated Series, which started it all, and its successor had their fair share of adult jokes packed into them, with Justice League Unlimited, Bruce TImm took it a step further.
This was a result of the plethora of romantic subplots that were incorporated into the series, which also involved a surprising romance arc between Green Lantern and Hawkgirl. Later elaborating on it, Timm revealed it was a result of their experiment with the show’s format.

In most comic iterations, Hawkman is often the match for Hawkgirl, but to fans’ surprise, in Justice League Unlimited, we witness a romantic arc between her and John Stewart.

Director Zack Snyder gets some mockery for his rather on-the-nose needle drops in movies -- from "Down with the Sickness" in "Dawn of the Dead" to The Cranberrys' "Zombie" in his most recent zombie movie, "Army of the Dead" -- but it helps that every needle drop is an absolute banger. Case in point: the new trailer for "Rebel Moon - Part One: A Child of Fire" serenades the stirrings of a space revolution with T. Rex's "Children of the Revolution."
Originally conceived as a "Star Wars" project, Snyder's epic space opera soon became its own thing when Lucasfilm made it clear that the R-rated action he wanted was a "non-starter." And so "Rebel Moon" became an original story, albeit influenced by "Star Wars" and, perhaps even more so, by "Gladiator".

Don’t expect to see Andor or Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 on Netflix any time soon.
Disney CEO Bob Iger said that it won’t “chase bucks” by licensing its “core brands” to its rival, despite what other studios are doing.
However, Iger said that it is currently in talks with Netflix over other titles.
“We’ve actually been licensing content to Netflix and are going to continue to. We’re actually in discussion with them now about some opportunities, but I wouldn’t expect that we will license our core brands to them. Those are obviously competitive advantages for us and differentiators. Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars for instance, they are all doing very, very well on our platform and I don’t see why just to basically chase bucks we should do that when they are really really important building blocks to the current and future of our streaming business,...

Like the previous Zack Snyder-directed Netflix epic, “Rebel Moon – Part One: A Child of Fire” will get a one-week pre-streaming theatrical engagement prior to its at-home premiere.
However, while “Army of the Dead” got a 600-theater release in May 2021, this latest sci-fi actioner will play exclusively in a few select 70mm auditoriums. Those wanting to see the Sofia Boutella-starring original in theaters can do so from Dec. 15 through Dec. 21 in Los Angeles (the Netflix-owned Egyptian Theatre), New York City (the Netflix-owned Paris Theater), Toronto (TIFF Bell Lightbox) and London (Prince Charles Cinema). It will drop Dec. 22 on Netflix.
The film, which was originally pitched, a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away (early 2013) as a Snyder-directed “Star Wars Story” that was essentially “The Seven Samurai with lightsabers,” stars Boutella as a fierce young woman tasked with finding warriors to fend off despotic invaders terrorizing her peaceful colony.

This article contains spoilers for Invincible season 1.
Between new Marvel Cinematic Universe series and reboots of DC films, the superhero genre has inundated audiences with content at every turn of late. Even people who can’t get enough of seeing Loki grapple with time travel or Michael Keaton cameo as Batman may find it a tad bit overwhelming and stale to be hit with the same old stuff. Thanks to offbeat, unique shows like The Boys and Invincible, however, the superhero genre has a couple of beacons of revolutionary hope for the future.
The latter show is where we’ll turn our focus, as the second season of Robert Kirkman’s (of The Walking Dead fame) comic book adaptation is about to launch the first of its eight episodes on Nov. 3. If you’re a little fuzzy on the details of the first season and where we left off, you’re probably in the majority.

Justice League is making waves once again. Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths – Part 1 is setting new benchmarks in the animated DC movie world. Touted to run for an impressive 93 minutes, it becomes the longest film in the Tomorrowverse series. That means it’s offering fans 1 hour and 33 minutes of captivating content, a record for DC’s Tomorrowverse movies.

In Greta Gerwig's hit film "Barbie," actress Alexandra Shipp plays Writer Barbie, a character who regularly wins Nobel prizes for her work. When Ken (Ryan Gosling) brings word of the patriarchy back from the real world into the Edenic, all-pink world of Barbie dolls, however, Writer Barbie's mind is curiously erased. She, like almost all of the Barbies, has no context for the patriarchy, and cannot resist confident, thick-headed, masculine bluster. She -- and many Barbies -- briefly become passive, grinning "girlfriends," eager to listen to whatever male-forward blather the Kens of Barbieland feel they need to share.
Eventually, Writer Barbie and the rest of the Barbies are "deprogrammed" by being reminded of the horrendous everyday struggles every human woman needs to survive on a daily basis. When she snaps out of it, Writer Barbie looks back on her time being brainwashed with confusion. How was it, she wonders,...

The superhero comic books of Marvel and DC use a static timeline, where no characters permanently age. That's what makes "Batman Beyond" so unique; following in the thematic footsteps of "The Dark Knight Returns," the show depicted a Bruce Wayne who'd aged out of the cowl. In his place, he trained teenage Terry McGinnis as the new Dark Knight. The film "Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker" even provided a definite end for "Batman: The Animated Series," showing via flashback the final battle between the original Batman and the Joker; the latter abducts Robin (Tim Drake) and tortures/brainwashes him into "Joker Junior." Tim ultimately snaps and kills the Joker with his own spear gun.
However, the next DC Animated Universe series, "Justice League"/"Justice League Unlimited," went back to the "present"/contemporary era. This left the creators constrained by what they established in "Batman Beyond" — or did it?

“Da 5 Bloods” Terence Blanchard, a Grammy-winning jazz musician who earned his first Oscar nomination two years ago for Spike Lee’s “BlacKkKlansman,” has an idea about how to boost diversity in Hollywood music — and give more talented women and musicians of color an opportunity to score films.
“What we should do is have blind auditions. Listen to some music and tell me if it was written by a woman or a person of color, because you would know much better than me,” Blanchard said during a panel of Oscar-shortlisted film composers as part of TheWrap’s Awards Screening Series. “For me…it’s not about gender and it’s not about race. It’s about who is bringing a unique voice to the project.”
Despite his own success in Hollywood, Blanchard believes that his race has sometimes hurt his job prospects. “I’ve had people who wanted to hire...

Judas and the Black Messiah premieres on HBO Max this Feb. 12 and is by every indication the kind of film that awards shows go gaga over. Both Daniel Kaluuya and and Lakeith Stanfield look to be at the top of their respective games in this story about Black Panther Party chairman Fred Hampton and the FBI that wants to take him down.

Actress Ritika Anand, who features in and has produced the four-episode web series, Jl 50, says that although she was always keen to cast Abhay Deol as protagonist of the show, she and writer-director Shailender Vyas were initially apprehensive about approaching him. She added she feels fortunate to have a cast that includes Pankaj Kapur and Piyush Mishra along with Abhay.
Talking about the casting of Abhay in as Shantanu Ritika in the sci-fi thriller, she said: "Abhay was the first choice and an intimidating one too. We had heard so much about how he only gives a nod to excellent scripts. We had confidence in the script but we weren't sure how he'd take the time travel angle of the story. However, upon Shailender and Piyush ji's suggestion, we sent Abhay the script and after a few anxious nights, we heard that he loved the premise of the story and the script of the film.

Ryan Reynolds has made it known that he would love to be involved in Zack Snyder’s Justice League. Various rumors and reports have surrounded the upcoming director’s edition of the DC team-up flick in recent months, and one of the most exciting and unexpected is that the Deadpool star could potentially reprise his role as Hal Jordan’s Green Lantern for a cameo in the movie.
Reynolds has previously teased a potential part in Jl and now, he’s done so again in even clearer terms. Yesterday, it started going around that the Canadian star could be playing Hawkman in Black Adam. The actor took to Twitter that night to clarify that this isn’t on the cards for him, but he did make it known that he would “love” to be in Snyder’s Justice League. He even went on to joke that he’s heard he may already be in it.

With the Justice League Snyder Cut in the bag, the big question on DC fans’ lips now is whether Warner Bros. will follow it up by releasing the Ayer Cut of Suicide Squad as well. Thanks to the director, we know that a lot of great material was removed from the theatrical cut that would’ve massively changed, and likely improved, the movie. There would’ve been more Harley, more Joker and even maybe a little bit more Batman, too.
Ben Affleck turned up as the Dark Knight for several scenes scattered throughout Suicide Squad as he arrested Deadshot and Harley in flashback and then appeared as Bruce Wayne in the post-credits scene. According to stunt performer Richard Cetrone though – who doubled for Affleck in all three of his Dceu appearances – he shot some extra action beats as Batman that didn’t make it into the theatrical version.

According to stunt performer Richard Cetrone though – who doubled for Affleck in all three of his Dceu appearances – he shot some extra action beats as Batman that didn’t make it into the theatrical version.

Ben Affleck might’ve walked away from the Batman role a while back, but he looks to be back in superhero shape in our latest glimpse of him. As per The Daily Mail, the Justice League star was snapped leaving his production office in West Los Angeles, and you can see in the images below that he’s clearly been hitting the gym recently. The fact that he’s at his office suggests he’s busy working on a new project, too, likely in a behind-the-scenes capacity as producer, director or writer.
Affleck getting back his Batman bod follows the news that Zack Snyder’s cut of Jl is coming to HBO Max next year, something which Affleck has celebrated along with his co-stars on social media. This should give DC fans a lot of new footage of his portrayal of Bruce Wayne, though there may not be any full-on reshoots for the film.

The Knightmare scene in Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice has fascinated fans for four years now. Frustratingly, we’ve had to figure out the bigger story surrounding it ourselves though as the theatrical release of Justice League never elaborated on Bruce Wayne’s dystopian vision. One of the things we have to look forward to in Zack Snyder’s cut of Jl, then, is more Knightmare material.
The director’s already confirmed that his Justice League will return to the Knightmare timeline, and he may’ve just revealed how one of these scenes will come about. On Vero, a fan picked up on one way Snyder’s version could expand on the theatrical cut. All in caps, they enthusiastically asked: “Does Cyborg Have A Knightmare Vision Where Superman Is Destroying The World Under Darkseid’S Authority, Some Moments Before Clark Opens His Eyes And Flies Out Of The Ship...

Superman & Lois is sounding great so far. The CW was quick to order a full season based on the pilot and everything we’ve heard already sounds like a nice new spin on the Man of Steel. The broad concept for the show sees it open with the Daily Planet downsizing and Clark and Lois losing their jobs (a fear familiar to most journalists). As such, they decide to relocate to Smallville to parent their twin teenage sons Jonathan and Jordan Kent. Presumably, Superman can still do his hero thing based out of Smallville without having to be in the big city the whole time.

After years of rumors and reports, Warner Bros. officially announced last month that Zack Snyder’s Justice League was coming to HBO Max next year. It wasn’t just the fans who celebrated the news, though, as the stars of the Dceu also poured on to social media to support the studio’s decision to share the director’s original vision of the team-up movie with the world.
The latest to do so is General Zod himself, Michael Shannon. While chatting on the LightCast Pod, Shannon broke his silence on the announcement, and it seems he couldn’t be more pleased for his friend. He may well know some secrets about the Snyder Cut, too, but he’s keeping those close to his chest for now. Instead, the actor praised the director and voiced his hope that the release of his version of Jl will mean a lot to him.

Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice hinted at the existence of a wider Bat-family through that Joker-desecrated Robin suit in the Batcave. Director Zack Snyder, who’s set to further his original vision with the release of his Justice League cut next year, has now revealed that he had plans to debut a new sidekick to the Dark Knight in future movies. And unsurprisingly given the filmmaker’s love of Frank Miller, it was Carrie Kelley.
Over on Vero, Snyder was recently asked whether he had any plans to bring Dick Grayson’s Robin, as has confirmed to be the Boy Wonder Joker killed, back at any point or if he’d stay dead. “Stay dead,” Snyder revealed, before revealing that the Robin legacy would’ve continued with a new recruit. “…till Carrie.”

News of the upcoming release of the Snyder Cut of Justice League has been met with widespread excitement from DC fans eager to see the director’s original vision for the team-up movie realized at last. Its impact might not just be limited to that, though, as reports are surfacing that say the potential success of Snyder’s Jl could lead to the Dceu going back to its roots a little and picking up the characters that have been on hiatus since the theatrical version tanked in 2017.
For instance, Cyborg doesn’t currently have any new appearances on the way. According to insider Grace Randolph, though, there’s a chance that Ray Fisher could get to return as Victor Stone in further films, provided the Snyder Cut is a hit once it arrives on HBO Max sometime next year. These further appearances could involve cameos or supporting roles in others’ movies,...

Regardless of your opinions of the quality of Zack Snyder’s movies, you can’t deny that the 2021 release of the Snyder Cut of Justice League will be an interesting experiment. It’s exceedingly rare for a director who’s been removed from a film to be able to go back and make the version they intended – even more so when doing it requires a budget up of to $30 million. On top of all that, it requires a major studio to admit that they were wrong, which doesn’t often happen.
One aspect that I’m particularly looking forward to is how the film deals with Darkseid. Snyder’s original idea was that Justice League would introduce him as the real big bad of the Dceu, with Steppenwolf merely being a harbinger of a future Apokalyptian invasion of Earth. As such, the pic would show us why Darkseid is considered...

No celebration of the history of Green Lantern would be complete without acknowledging Dwayne McDuffie. McDuffie was a titan in both the comic book and animation industries before he passed in 2011, co-founding Milestone Comics and helping turn Milestone character Static into a successful, beloved Saturday morning cartoon (Static Shock), among a myriad of other accomplishments in both mediums.
But to many superhero fans, McDuffie’s most iconic work was on Justice League Unlimited, the massively popular cartoon expansion of the Batman: The Animated Series universe. It was there that McDuffie paired John Stewart and Hawkgirl in what became a definitive romantic pairing for a generation of DC superhero fans. To honor his work with Stewart, Charlotte Fullerton McDuffie, his widow, and ChrisCross, his friend and former artistic collaborator, got together to jam out a John/Shayera story for June’s Green Lantern 80th Anniversary 100-Page Spectacular.

Zack Snyder’s Justice League is coming. For two and a half years, the fabled director’s cut of the DC team-up movie has just been a pipe-dream for fans, but last week we found out it was being released on HBO Max sometime next year. And while they’ve been sworn to secrecy for so long, now the cast can start to tease details about what we can expect from the Snyder Cut that was absent from the theatrical version.
When it comes to Cyborg, it sounds like there’ll be a lot more substance than before. While chatting with The Nice Cast, Ray Fisher teased that Snyder’s Jl will get into the emotional complexity of Cyborg and his character arc much more than what we saw in the Whedon cut.

DC fans had a big win this week as Warner Bros. announced that the Snyder Cut of Justice League is coming to HBO Max next year. The director himself confirmed that it’s all thanks to the tireless campaigning of fans that this is happening. Fresh off this victory, then, DC lovers are already jumping on board another cause: get WB to release David Ayer’s cut of Suicide Squad.
Infamously, the theatrical version of the 2016 supervillain team-up flick was not Ayer’s preferred cut and was heavily altered by the studio in an attempt to lighten it up. Ayer’s previously revealed various bits and pieces that we could’ve seen if his vision had been realized on screen. These have got fans excited to see his cut, and now we have the confirmation that it does actually exist. In response to a fan on Twitter today, the filmmaker made that 100% clear.

The news finally arrived yesterday: The Snyder Cut of Justice League is officially on the way to HBO Max, with the legendary director’s edition of the DC team-up movie set to arrive on the streaming service sometime in 2021. Fans are excited to see the filmmaker’s original vision, but it also offers up the hope of being a better final outing for Ben Affleck’s Batman than the theatrical cut was.
As you’d expect, then, Affleck stands behind Snyder and has reacted to the announcement on social media. The Batman V Superman star shared the movie’s poster on his Twitter account and offered up a one-word yet loaded caption: “2021.” That was enough to go viral, with his tweet sitting at 8.3k retweets at the time of writing.

Today brought news that DC fans have been waiting almost two and a half years for – Zack Snyder’s cut of Justice League is officially on the way. Ever since the theatrical release of what should have been a historic superhero team-up movie was widely panned back in late 2017, the #ReleaseTheSnyderCut movement has called for Warner Bros. to, well, release the Snyder Cut. And now that it’s finally happening, it might come with an extra bonus.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, there’s a chance that the stars of the film could return to help Snyder assemble his version of Jl. As THR puts it, they may be brought back to “record additional dialogue.” It’s unclear right now exactly what that means – whether some reshoots could actually take place or if the cast would provide extra Adr (Additional Dialogue Recording) – but from the wording, it seems more likely to be the latter.

I love screwed-up parallel Earth superhero universes. The Injustice DC universe gives us some really twisted takes on DC characters, Marvel’s ‘Old Man Logan’ universe showed us what would happen if the supervillains won and then there’s the classic ‘evil’ Earth-3 from the DC silver age.
But one of the coolest is definitely Flashpoint. Introduced in a 2011 crossover series in The Flash comics, it’s a strange reality where Superman is held captive and experimented on, Batman and the Joker are Thomas and Martha Wayne, and there’s a titanic war between Wonder Woman’s Themiscyra and Aquaman’s Atlantis. We kid you not.
The upcoming solo Flash movie is strongly rumored to loosely adapt this story and while director Andy Muschietti has said his version will be a “different version of Flashpoint than you’re expecting,” it seems that DC would like to at least include the Wonder Woman vs.

It’s coming up to two and a half years since Justice League hit theaters, but fans are still not over how it bungled what should have been the biggest moment in DC cinematic history. Due to Warner Bros. changing direction behind the scenes, Zack Snyder’s darker, more epic vision was reshot and re-edited by Joss Whedon, and let’s just say it’s not the best work from The Avengers filmmaker. In an alternate universe out there, though, WB released the first one as is and Snyder was able to work on his planned follow-up, Justice League 2.

In case you didn't know, Justice League Unlimited is The best DC animated series out there. At least I think so anyway, and that's mainly due to the fact it was created in an era where superhero shows were all the rage and the animation doesn't look incredibly dated. I'm getting off track here...the point is that 331ERock did a cover of the show's theme song and it's absolutely amazing. Check it out below, and then feel free to argue with me in the comments about how Batman: Tas is better.

Paul Dini, one of the writers for Btas, talked about this with Cbr recently mentioning that the reason Black Canary wasn’t introduced was to feature Robin in more episodes. Dini states:
.Yeah, the Black Canary/Catwoman episode was a casualty. They [Fox] wanted more Robin in the series, and each time we wanted to drop him from a story, we had to fight for it. Not that we had anything against Robin, we just wanted to stretch now and then and do solo Batman stories or episodes that focused mainly on Gordon or the villains. After the experimentation of the first season, the network felt we might be leaving the boys behind, so we got the edict, add more Robin. Other than that, there...

Batman has been becoming more musical in the last few years with his hit “Untitled Self Portrait” from The Lego Movie really hitting things off. Then there was “Who’s the (Bat)Man” from The Lego Batman Movie. Plus, there’s this gem from Justice League Unlimited. Who would’ve guessed this brooding superhero would be so musical? Well, the team at How It Should Have Ended decided Batman had at least one more song to sing, so they wrote “The Sound of Violence” which is a parody of the Simon & Garfunkel classic, “The Sound of Silence.” This is one of the greatest versions of this song that I’ve heard. It is so freaking funny. Share it with your friends and family for a good laugh.
