Ever since the events of Rebirth, the DC Universe has been out of control. Wally West reveals that someone, potentially Dr. Manhattan, has taken 10 years from the world. This has resulted in plenty of Flashpoint era characters making a return. And that includes Eobard Thawne/Zoom/Reverse-Flash. Shockingly enough, however, the villain has already been disposed of. Reverse-Flash showed up in Batman #21, prepared to kill Batman while infiltrating the Batcave. His goal was to get revenge on Bruce Wayne’s father Thomas who killed Zoom in the Flashpoint timeline, as Thomas was also Batman in that universe. He succeeds in brutally…

As we approach the release date for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, and more interviews and test screens are performed, additional details are leaking every day. It’s becoming harder to go into the film spoiler-free, but in case you have to know what’s going to happen, several major cameos have been confirmed. It seems that by the end of the film, new characters played by Ving Rhames and Michelle Yeoh appear. Director James Gunn has confirmed that the characters are in fact Charlie-27 and Aleta Ogord, two ravager leaders. We’re still not given details about why they appear, but…

We were given the first trailer for Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi last Saturday, and there was a certain noticeable change with villain Kylo Ren. It appears that the scar he received during his lightsaber duel with Rey from the last film has moved. The scar originally went up his cheek, nose, and forehead which should’ve left him looking particularly deformed. Now the scar is less severe and merely runs across Kylo Ren’s eye. It seems director Rian Johnson has offered an explanation for this change via Twitter: https://twitter.com/rianjohnson/status/854760359097286656 Well, there you have it. The scar is simply…

Freeform has finally revealed the first trailer for one of their upcoming Marvel TV adaptations, Cloak and Dagger. In the video, we’re introduced to two lovers – Tandy (played by Olivia Holt) and Tyrone (played by Aubrey Joseph). We’re also given a glimpse at the events which lead them into becoming the heroes of both darkness and light, Cloak and Dagger. https://youtu.be/YZFc3FzK344 It’ll be interesting to see a series that focuses more on romance and young adult characters. The other Marvel shows tend to focus either on more lighthearted content, like with Agents of SHIELD, or much darker content as…

Who would’ve thought that beneath the soft red fur of your Tickle Me Elmo, lived a disturbing monster made of plastic and metal? Thanks to Mashable, we now have a look at Elmo’s true form – and it is not for the faint of heart. Someone had taken the horrifying task of showing Elmo’s inner workings, and it almost reminds me of something from a Child’s Play movie. Take a look at the end of Child’s Play or the beginning of Child’s Play 2, and look at the burned Chucky head without its skin. Look familiar? I think so. The…

The newest adaptation of Stephen King’s It is about to make some serious money. As the ratings for the first trailer have proven, there’s no shortage of fans ready to see Pennywise in theaters. The trailer has already broken the record for most views in a day, beating the trailer for The Fate of the Furious. And now fans are ready for more. A new production photo that’s hit Reddit has thrown fans into a frenzy, and there seems to be a good reason why. Just look at it! https://twitter.com/NOFSpodcast/status/853282329959309312 The photo shows Bill Skarsgård’s Pennywise on a monitor looking…

That Hashtag Show has given us a new series of character breakdowns. These ones in particular focus on the second season of Marvel and Netflix’s Jessica Jones series. Despite the fact that the characters’ true names are obscured by code names, there are usually clues in the first letters that allowed That Hashtag Show to make some educated guesses. Here are the coded descriptions: [DR. KIRBY] 60s, male, open ethnicity, scientist & freethinker SERIES REGULAR – ONE YEAR DEAL [PRESLEY] Late 30s, Male, African American, intelligent, driven, self-assured FRACTIONAL SERIES REGULAR [OLIVER] 34-38, male, Latino, artistic, paternal, smart, scruffy and…

Growing star Shameik Moore, known for playing in Dope and Netflix’s The Get Down, will be voicing Miles Morales in Sony Animation’s upcoming and untitled Spider-Man feature film. Peter Parker won’t be starring as Spider-Man this time, with Morales set to being the new web-slinger. He was previously introduced through Marvel Comics in 2011, as a half-black and half-Latino character. Meanwhile Liev Schreiber will be voicing the film’s antagonist – the identity of which, however, is being kept under wraps for now. The project was written by Phil Lord and will be produced by him alongside his Lego Movie and…

Although superhero movies continue to reach all new highs, their villains have been mostly hit or miss over the years. The all-new trailer for Thor: Ragnarok that just hit, however, seems to be very promising on that front. We’ve been given a new look at actress Cate Blanchett as Hela – and she might be one to remember. Many fans have praised Blanchett’s appearance and portrayal, but one actress, Elizabeth Banks of Power Rangers fame, seems to have a different opinion. She hilariously took to Twitter and decided to call out Blanchett, suggesting her character’s Power Rangers design was stolen.…

After getting a new trailer this past weekend, the upcoming Justice League film has been cited by fans as looking better than ever. It may be too soon to say the film will fix the track record for Warner Bros.’ DC franchise, but there’s definitely a sense of optimism in the air. The trailer itself boasts a hard rock soundtrack and plenty of grit, which is a change in style with what we’ve been seeing from Marvel’s Avenger franchise. Although one must wonder, what would it be like if the Avengers were given a similar trailer? Well it looks like…
