As if we needed any more evidence that Warner Bros is mismanaging DC Films: A Doctor Strange movie has out-opened Batman, $185 million vs $135 million, after its three-day premiere (from Friday through Sunday). Doctor Strange, a character most people have never heard of prior to his 2016 movie, has out-opened literally one of the […]
Let’s be honest. The executives over at DC/Warner Bros – lead by Walter Hamada – have no idea what they’re doing. This has been fairly obvious before he took the helm though Hamada seems to be continuing in a grand tradition of really dumb decisions (most recently sacrificing their 2021 slate on the altar of […]
I didn’t see 2015’s Fantastic Four (otherwise known as ‘Fan4stic’) because I had a problem with Fox’s treatment of the Marvel properties they had licenses to (Daredevil and yes, the X-Men) and apparently I made the right move because it was panned popularly and critically (though the clusterfuck that was the making of the movie […]
In the name of full disclosure I have to admit that I don’t recall having seen a full episode of DC Universe’s – I mean HBOMax’s – Titans, based on the characters introduced in the Teen Titans comic. Though that’s not because I didn’t try, but because the show is so murky that it doesn’t […]
I’m just going to put it out there: I don’t think Zach Snyder can tell a story to save his life, which is all the more interesting since he’s been making a living as a feature-film director (who’s entire job is telling stories) for quite awhile now, after leaving the world of commercials and music […]
Sony is an interesting studio as of late. While Universal is busy piling money in a pile–and burning it–producing stinkers likes Cats and Dolittle Sony is apparently on a tear, following up Jumanji: The Next Level, Zombieland: Double Tap with Once Upon A Time In Hollywood and most recently, Bad Boys for Life (which isn’t […]
To paraphrase Superman in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. DC Universe, the streaming channel dedicated to all things DC Comics, is finished. There’s been no announcement to that effect, but the writing’s on the wall. First Swamp Thing was cancelled before it’s first EPISODE! And now Stargirl, a new series coming to DC Universe, […]
The final trailer for Brightburn dropped yesterday, and I’m genuinely curious about the movie because I get the feeling that Zach Snyder really wished he could have treated his version of Superman in a similar fashion. Though that’s not quite fair because hate isn’t the opposite of love, apathy is and that was the Snyder’s […]
This is an awesome trailer! It doesn’t say that this is a Mirror Universe Superman story but the character actually wears a red cape at one point! You can tell where it’s going but it’s those similarities that make it interesting. I also hope Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster get a credit because while Blackburn […]
I haven’t seen Aquaman in theaters–despite it featuring one of my favorite characters, Black Manta–because, as far as the DCEU (or whatever they choose to call it) I’m done. Under ‘creative genius’ Zach Snyder I felt that there was so little faith in these characters that they were Batman and Superman in name only. Yet […]
