The DC Universe has only been around a brief while, but they’ve already given us some amazing content to sink our teeth into. From the buzzworthy Titans series, to the beloved Young Justice: Outsiders, the streaming service is definitely bringing the goods. And while fans can’t wait for Doom Patrol to arrive next month, we’ve got some cool news about the series that comes out after that: Swamp Thing. Production on Swamp Thing began back in November, and just as with Titans and Doom Patrol, the folks running the production have been pretty good…
Kevin Hart is a name that’s been in the headlines a lot lately, but that hasn’t stopped him from being very productive while beneath the glare of constant media attention. The Upside stunned box office analysts last weekend, Jumanji 3 is set to start filming in a few days (on the 21st), and now he’s just signed on to star in Monopoly– a film based on the popular board game. You may recall a few years back, when Hollywood starting mining popular…

Many assumptions have been made, narratives created, and blanks filled by fans and reporters eager to unravel the mystery of how things got so tumultuous. But now, thanks to an industry insider named Neil Daly- who’s actually gone on the…
When the first trailer dropped for POKÉMON Detective Pikachu it took many by surprise. Very few fans had any idea what to expect from the film, but what they saw in the trailer was something that was refreshingly layered, engaging, and that evoked other classic live-action/animation hybrids like Robert Zemeckis’ Who Framed Roger Rabbit? Also of note was the fact that Pikachu sounded like Deadpool! It’s a silly thing to say, of course, but with Ryan Reynolds voicing Pikachu, no one was…
Mortal Kombat is one of those franchises that simply won’t die. And that’s not a bad thing. The folks behind it have managed to stay ahead of the curve, and to find ways of reinventing and reinvigorating the property every few years since it debuted at arcades in 1992. From countless games, to television series, to live-action films, as well as comics, co-creator Ed Boon always seems ready to expand the Mortal Kombat universe. And thanks to the new(ish) owners…
Zachary Levi’s star is about to shine a lot brighter. In April, he’ll make a big splash in DC’s Shazam!, where he plays the titular hero. While that film is sure to make him a household name, Levi’s already cultivated a very devout cult following thanks to his old NBC series Chuck. It was one of those shows, like Firefly, that was beloved by those who watched it…but the problem was that not enough people watched it. Chuck is…

Retweeting With The Caption “Excited be a part of this!” He Subsequently Took It Down, Likely At The Request of The Studio] When it comes to Elseworld tales, few are as iconic as Mark Millar’s Red Son. Since it’s arrival in 2003, it’s become a shining example of what stories set outside of the official continuity can be by taking a beloved character and putting a…

Trailer…But It’ll Be So Worth It” I’d like to start by saying that I’m not going to over-hype myself again over…
When it comes to Batman, there’s no shortage of great, iconic stories in his catalogue. With a history that spans nearly eight decades (which you can read more about HERE), everyone surely has their favorite book about Gotham’s Dark Knight. Mine happens to be Batman: The Long Halloween. That’s why a discovery I made yesterday while doing some digging for you led me to tweet, simply, this: pic.twitter.com/4uZcX3XJjM — Mario-F. Robles (@I_Am_MFR) January 3, 2019 Well, a bunch of…
