The new-look DC Universe is set to get a movie featuring one of comic books’ greatest supergroups: The Teen Titans.
Here’s a fun announcement for all of you comic book fans: The Teen Titans are getting their first ever live action movie, joining James Gunn and Peter Safran’s cinematic universe of DC Universe characters at Warner Bros.
We haven’t yet seen a film emerge from the duo’s reimagining of DC’s stable of comic book icons, but when announcing the first wave of projects last year, James Gunn confirmed that more films would be revealed in due course. According to The Hollywood Reporter, it looks like a Teen Titans film will be one of them.
If you’re not familiar with the group, the Teen Titans consists of several young heroes who usually play the sidekick role to more senior characters.

It’s go time for the Teen Titans.
The DC heroes, which began as the teenaged sidekicks of their more famous and iconic counterparts, are getting their own live-action feature from the James Gunn and Peter Safran-led DC Studios.
The comic book movie division of Warner Bros. Discovery has tapped Ana Nogueira to pen the screenplay for the project. The hiring further ensconces the actress and playwright-turned scribe into the DC family as she is already writing Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow for the label.
The Teen Titans were first introduced in the mid-1960s and featured Robin, Kid Flash, and Aqualad as well as Wonder Girl. Other teens such as Speedy, the sidekick to Green Arrow, joined the adventures later. The comics skewed young and were not considered major sellers until the 1980s relaunch by Marv Wolfman and George Perez.

The last time comics author Brian Michael Bendis worked with his longtime collaborator, artist Alex Maleev, the result was Scarlet, a two-volume series that was dark and dystopian, telling the tale of a corrupt police state and a new American civil war. The second volume hit in 2016, as the Donald Trump presidency began, seemingly presaging the darker moments of the last several years.
“I promised Alex the next one will be fun,” Bendis recalls.
Now, the writer, who is perhaps most associated with his best known creation, Spider-Man Miles Morales, is back with that “fun one,” a six-issue miniseries from Dark Horse Comics titled Masterpiece that reunites him with Maleev for the first time since 2016. The story takes Bendis back to his crime story roots while offering a bevy of original colorful characters with the writer’s patented snappy dialogue.

This past week we lost one of the industry’s best. As Dan Green pulls his chair up to the great drawing board in the sky I look back on an amazing career. For me, Dan Green was probably the first inker I knew the name of. This comes from hunting down my back issues of Wolverine. Marc Silvestri and Adam Kubert were two of my favourites to track down issues of and Green was always the third name in the credits. Perhaps this is doing inkers a discredit. They are like drummers in rock bands in that regard. Essential to creativity but one step behind the limelight. If someone like Joe Sinnott was like the old-school drumming of Ringo Starr, then Green is more akin to the style of John Bonham. In my opinion, he was the first rock star inker.
The journey began for Dan Green in Detroit.

Roughly speaking, comic book shared universe continuity didn’t really take hold until 1961. Right before Marvel had Spider-Man swinging through the world outside the Fantastic Four’s windows, the folks at DC decided to put all of their Flashes in the same book with The Flash #123, “The Flash of Two Worlds.” And since then, audiences couldn’t get enough—Amazing Spider-Man #1 in 1963 had Spidey trying to get a gig with the Fantastic Four, and later that year, the Justice League met their Justice Society counterparts in Justice League #21’s “Crisis on Earth-One.” And that one might be, if you squint hard enough, the first superhero comic summer crossover, an event that would change the world of comics collecting.

“Kevin Feige, you have failed this cinematic universe.”
Okay, Arrowverse co-creator Marc Guggenheim didn’t put it quite like that, but he does has some pretty strong advice for the head of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. “There’s just too much content,” Guggenheim said on The Aarthi & Sriram Show. “If I was suddenly in Kevin Feige’s role, basically I would do what [Disney President Bob] Iger was saying, which is prune the tree,” Guggenheim explained. “You know, there’s just too much content. I’m like the biggest Marvel nerd ever, and I haven’t seen Moon Knight. I just can’t keep up.”
Opinions like this can be found everywhere, but Guggenheim knows a thing or two about shepherding a successful superhero universe. Along with Greg Berlanti, Guggenheim created the Arrowverse on the CW Network. Beginning with the relatively grounded Arrow in 2012, Guggenheim and Berlanti launched a bonkers shared universe that...

Before James Gunn defected from Marvel to make a coherent cinematic universe with Peter Safran, the DC Universe was defined by Zack Snyder. From his movie Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Snyder was charged with launching a cinematic universe built around members of the Justice League. And while most members did get a movie, there was a surprising omission: Batman, the most bankable character in the DC stable.
Sure, Ben Affleck‘s Batman was the co-lead of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and arguably the lead of both versions of Justice League. And yeah, he did get a cameo in Suicide Squad and will drop by in The Flash next month. But we never got a solo movie Batman movie starring Ben Affleck. Although one was in the works for quite some time, intended to be directed by Affleck himself, it got stuck in production hell as Warner Bros....

The soon to be revamped DC Extended Universe’s twelfth entry, “Shazam! Fury of the Gods”, the much-awaited sequel of the first silver screen adaptation of the origin of World’s Mightiest Mortal “Shazam”, has hit the screens worldwide. As fans already know, the disjointed condition of DC’s cinematic universe has been the cause of headache for fans and the creators alike, despite that, “Shazam! Fury of the Gods” takes few chances to tease the possibility of interconnected storytelling while recognizing the hindrances. There are two post-credits scenes which provide us crucial hints both for the larger DC universe and the expansion-related character-oriented lore of Shazam, respectively. We would like to connect the dots by forming a connection with the existing DC universe and also exploring some possible plot points from comics to determine what readers can expect from the third Shazam movie.

Early previews for "Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur" teased the introduction of a classic villain to the Marvel Cinematic Universe: the Beyonder, an all-powerful being able to warp space and time with a thought. As played by Laurence Fishburne, the Beyonder performs musical numbers, changes shape, and threatens to end the universe for kicks. It's a quirky introduction to a character some have theorized might be the McU's next big bad after Thanos, assuming Kang the Conqueror doesn't steal his thunder. Joe and Anthony Russo, the directors of "Avengers: Endgame," have said that "Secret Wars" is a favorite of theirs, and you can't have "Secret Wars" without The Beyonder.
There are smarter, crueler, and more dangerous foes in Marvel's archives than the Beyonder. Just look at Doctor Doom, who briefly usurped the Beyonder's power in the very first "Secret Wars." But the secret to the Beyonder's strength is that he...

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.

We are now approaching the endgame, and the stakes are as high as they will be. The entire Multiverse is at stake, and we are now in very familiar Crisis territory. The cover is superb, really evoking those mid-80s days when worlds would die, and George Perez would show you how. Although this series overall has been a solid read, I do feel as though it has lacked set pieces, lacked actual story beats around which to hang the character bits and the fight scenes. At times we have just gone from fight scene to fight scene. I’m hoping Williamson’s been storing up the best stuff.
Let’s take a look.

DC's live-action "Titans" series is returning to HBO Max early next month, and in tandem with New York Comic-Con this past weekend, the streamer has released an official teaser and clip giving fans a taste of some new villains who are coming to the show in season 4. Developed by Akiva Goldsman, Geoff Johns, and Greg Berlanti, "Titans" is going the route of many a streaming series and splitting this season up so that it's only part 1 of season 4 that is coming your way next month.
Let's start by looking at the teaser, which you can see below.

Being a Hulk is now a family business. But Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo) and Jennifer Walters (Tatiana Maslany) may not be the only members of their gamma-irradiated clan. The second episode of She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, directed by Kat Coiro and written by Jessica Gao, sees the Hulk once again headed to space, this time on a Sakaarian ship, similar to the one featured in Thor: Ragnarok (2017), and presumably the same one that caused the accident that created She-Hulk in the debut episode. Despite She-Hulk serving as a sitcom, there does seem to be something larger happening between the scenes, a revelation that could finally lead to a new Hulk movie.
Much of Phase Four of the MCU has placed an emphasis on family and legacy, with characters taking on new roles, like Scarlet Witch, Loki, Captain America (Sam Wilson), and Spider-Man. Others...

Jonathan Majors and Glen Powell are taking off in the official trailer for “Devotion,” the new drama set to release this Thanksgiving.
Based on the nonfiction book by Adam Makos, “Devotion” focuses on the military careers of Jesse Brown (Majors) and Tom Hudner (Powell), two elite Navy fighter pilots who served during the Korean War. In spite of the racism that Brown experiences as one of the first Black aviators, he forms a close camaraderie with the white Hudner, and the two go on to work together as wingmen in several battles, including the Battle of Chosin Reservoir.
Along with Majors and Powell, “Devotion” also stars Christina Jackson, Joe Jonas and Thomas Sadoski. J.D. Dillard directs the film from a screenplay by J.D. Dillard from a screenplay by Jake Crane and Jonathan A. H. Stewart. Dillard and Powell executive produce while Molly Smith, Rachel Smith, Thad Luckinbill and Trent Luckinbill produce for Columbia Pictures.

The Sundance Institute today announced the launch of the Latine Fellowship and Collab Scholarship—a new program intended to bolster Latinx representation in independent media.
The program will provide fellowships and scholarships to emerging Latinx artists, also offering professional development opportunities, virtual gatherings to connect with like-minded artists and Creator+ memberships to Sundance Collab, Sundance Institute’s digital learning space for artists from around the world.
The Latine Fellowship will provide six emerging Latinx artists who have previously been supported by the Institute with a year-long, multi-disciplinary fellowship experience beginning in August, offering bespoke creative and tactical support along with unrestricted, non-recoupable grants of 10,000.
The second component of the Sundance Institute’s latest program is the Latine Scholarship, designed for five early-career Latinx artists with no prior engagement with the Institute to receive, so that they can attend a live, online course on Sundance Collab.

“I made macaroni.” That line, from Hawkeye episode 5 “Ronin,” launched one of the most exciting developments in the MCU’s phase four: the friendship between Kate Bishop and Yelena Belova. Played with irreverent pluck by Florence Pugh, Belova was not only the breakout character in Black Widow, but also a key part of Marvel’s future plans, joining Contessa Valentina Allegra de la Fontaine’s team of misfits. If early reaction to Yelena is any indication, then the Marvel Cinematic Universe can continue its popularity, even as it loses original heroes like Tony Stark and Steve Rogers.
Like every other part of the MCU, Yelena Belova has her roots in the comics. First introduced in 1999’s Inhumans #5, Yelena was created by writer Devon Grayson and artist J.G. Jones as an antagonist and eventual ally to Black Widow Natasha Romanov. Given the important role that Belova played in Black Widow and Hawkeye,...

This article contains some spoilers for the first two issues of DC’s Dark Crisis.
When DC Comics fans hear the word “crisis,” certain things spring to mind: crowded panels featuring luminaries from every corner of the DC multiverse, universe-shattering stakes, dramatic character deaths, and sometimes big changes for DC’s storytelling continuity itself. Several big events bearing the “Crisis” moniker have altered the history of the DC Universe. But Dark Crisis writer Joshua Williamson wants to assure everyone that things are a little different this time around.
“I don’t necessarily think that it has to involve rebooting anything,” Williamson tells Den of Geek via Zoom while idly paging through a hardcover omnibus of the original Crisis on Infinite Earths. “I don’t think that’s what we wanted to do. We really wanted to focus on making it more about the characters, and leveling up and putting a...

Whether you, yourself, live in just one of an endless array of alternate universes is a topic of actual debate among physicists, even sober ones. But when it comes to fictional worlds, multiverses have taken over, from the Marvel Cinematic Universe (which, come to think of it, might have to change its name), most recently with Dr. Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, to this year’s Everything Everywhere All at Once, in which infinite Michelle Yeohs grapple with life’s infinite tragedies.

Only halfway through 2022 and we've already lost multiple comic book legends. April 28 saw the passing of Neal Adams, while little more than a week later on May 6, George Pérez succumbed to a battle with pancreatic cancer. About a month later, Tim Sale passed on June 16 at the too-young age of 66.
Renowned for his distinctive, painterly, and watercolor art style, Sale's work could be bright and inspiring, or gothic and gloomy, but no matter the mood, it was always beautiful.

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.

These days you can get your comics info in all manner of ways. Publisher previews, sneak peeks from creators themselves, industry exposes, and so on. I put the greatest trust in the good old-fashioned word of mouth. Most of the books I didn’t know much about, or wasn’t aware of what was going on in them, I ended up picking up because of word of mouth and nothing else. If the buzz is good from people I know, and whose opinion I trust, that’s good enough for me. Which is why I’m sat here reading and reviewing Nightwing. I’ve been told that Tom Taylor and Bruno Redondo have been hitting home runs on this book virtually every month, so I’ve come to see what all the fuss is about.

Everyone in the world knows DC Comics and Marvel, and the world associates the name George Perez with those comics. He is one of the most prolific comic artists of all time, and he worked for both companies over the course of his long and successful career. Sadly, the talented artist died on May 6, 2022, following a cancer diagnosis that left him with approximately six months to a year. He made the announcement in December of 2021 that he had only that amount of time left to live, and it seems his doctors were spot on with the six-month

Last year, we said “…every work of art made in [2020] is a small miracle. Every comic creator who put irons in the fire in a year that certainly didn’t lack fires deserves gratitude and commendation.” That’s no less true in 2021, a year where days felt like months and each month somehow also passed like a half an hour. Creators who put themselves out there this year did so with even greater precarity and more than a dash of shattered hope. But they helped us get through it all, and we should be immensely grateful.

I want to open this week by reporting on the recent success of my Hero Initiative Auction on eBay. First off I want to thank the four buyers who made it possible to make a £20 donation and from a personal point of view they all left positive reviews to add to my growing seller status. As it averaged out I sold one item for every week the auction ran. While I did have plenty of interest in other listings the buyers pulling the trigger just weren’t there. I feel the auction is something I will revisit yearly. After this years mild success I would have more confidence to start listings lower, especially if they are going to pick up viewers. They may be more inclined to bid with lower starting prices. I think my obvious thought was to start slightly higher so as to make as big a donation as possible.

This article contains Massive spoilers for Marvel’s Black Widow
We had to wait a long time for Black Widow. Marvel and Disney’s Phase 4 solo film for Natasha Romanoff (Scarlett Johansson) was originally set to be released back in May of 2020 but, well, we all know what happened next, so this summer finally brought us our first Premier Access MCU film. Luckily Black Widow was worth the wait.
It’s an action-packed installment that introduces a slew of new characters we’ll likely see again in future MCU films and Disney+ shows. One of those is the highly anticipated Marvel Comics villain Taskmaster, who can mimic any fighting style. You’ve heard of people who have a photographic memory, but Taskmaster has photographic reflexes and in Black Widow we see the character perfectly copy the moves of Hawkeye, Captain America, Black Panther, and even Natasha herself, making them a formidable adversary.

So, incredible as it may seem now, there was a time when Multiverse was a dirty word. Back in the early 1980’s DC decided that having multiple versions of their characters was just too confusing for potential new readers, and so essentially threw all their long term readers under the bus by writing out of existence whole chunks of DC history, as well as quite a few characters. I loved and hated it in equal measure, hated it for the loss of things I really loved such as Earth-2, but admiring the incredible story that Marv Wolfman, George Perez, and Jerry Ordway put together. Now, of course, DC has done a full 360 degree shift in its outlook, and recognised that rather than alternate characters and worlds being confusing, they actually allow you to appeal to more people, by offering...

This article contains Loki spoilers.
With its second episode, Loki’s meta-narrative became a bit clearer, as did its title character’s goal. Tom Hiddleston’s Loki wants to change his story, and to do that, he needs to either trick or force the Time-Keepers into allowing that to happen. So we see him start to wheedle Owen Wilson’s Agent Mobius about getting face time with the bosses, and we see Mobius blow him off.
But we also see Mobius trying to score a meeting with the Time-Keepers, and Ravonna gives him a similar brush off. And that, more than Loki getting negged to death by Mobius, was what set the internet speculation machine a’runnin.
Why be sketchy with Mobius? What do the Time-Keepers have to hide? What’s really going on with the Tva?
And the biggest one of all: do the Time-Keepers even exist?

Back in 2017, Warner Brothers announced a Nightwing feature film was on its way. The project would serve as an origin story for the masked identity adopted by Dick Grayson after relinquishing his role as Batman’s wisecracking sidekick, Robin. The studio tapped The Lego Batman Movie’s Chris McKay to helm the superhero caper, with a script by Ozark creator Bill Dubuque. Audiences eagerly awaited the beloved addition to the Dceu and the Bat Family, but then… nothing.
It appeared as if Nightwing joined the ranks of other shelved movies—most notably the Aquaman spinoff, The Trench, David Ayer’s Gotham City Sirens, Ava DuVernay’s The New Gods, Greg Berlanti’s Booster Gold, and the Joe Manganiello-starring Deathstroke—in developmental or cancellation hell.

Wonder Woman 1984 fits a lot of story into its 2.5 hour runtime, especially in its action-packed third act as Diana faces off against not one, but two villains: Cheetah and Maxwell Lord. While audiences have been encouraged to think of the DC blockbuster as a relative standalone, there’s much about the sequel that harkens back to the first film and there’s much about the movie that hints at what’s to come for our eponymous hero.
If you have some burning questions coming out of Wonder Woman 1984, you’re not alone. What happens at the end of the superhero sequel? What might it mean for the future of the franchise? And which characters might be back for future installments?
We have those answers and more ahead…

I’ve always had a love/ hate relationship with Crisis on Infinite Earths. Like it or not, it has cast a huge shadow over DC’s output ever since it was published back in the 1980’s. I’ve always appreciated its intent, to clean up DC continuity (albeit for a new readership that never really turned up), and the hard work of all involved, especially George Perez. On the flip side, I was always (and still am) a huge fan of the classic Earth-2, the Justice Society, Infinity,Inc, All-Star Squadron, and the Multiverse in general. All the things that were unceremoniously swept away. This book, with Crisis and the Jsa front and centre, couldn’t have jumped out to me anymore if it tried, especially with the superb Mike Perkins on the art, and the always reliable Steve Orlando scripting.

I’ve always been partial to a bit of Taskmaster. I was lucky enough to buy the comic in person from a newsagent which had his first appearance in way back in 1980 (Avengers #195 for those keeping count). It was part of my after school ritual, to see what new comics had appeared, and this new villain really stood out. The cover to the following issue, which I counted down the days to buy, featured no Avengers at all, which never happened, just this menacing, imposing figure in a costume that I still love today. Designed by George Perez, why wouldn’t you? Taskmaster was sort of Marvel’s Deathstroke before Deathstroke, a villain with the ability to take an opponent’s power and use it against them. Taskmaster had what was called ‘photographic reflexes’, he could copy your abilities and take you down.

Joe Manganiello will return as Slade Wilson aka Deathstroke in Zack Snyder’s cut of “Justice League,” according to an individual with knowledge of the project.
Deathstroke first appeared in the post credit scene of 2017’s theatrical cut of “Justice League.” In the full scene, the assassin (aka Slade Wilson) is summoned to the luxury yacht of a returning Lex Luthor (Jesse Eisenberg), where the pair set off to form their own band of antiheroes to block the heroics of Wonder Woman, Batman, Aquaman, Cyborg, Superman and The Flash.
Deathstroke was created by Marv Wolfman and George Perez. He is a mercenary and assassin who first appeared in “The New Teen Titans” #2 back in 1980. Wizard magazine rated him the 24th greatest villain of all time.
