#MovieNEWS The Flash – Official Trailer

 Here it is, after so many delays, hype, a whole reboot or two (does The Rock's "change of scale of powers" count as a reboot?)... 

Flashpoint is finally here!

And it does look... kinda good. And promising.

#DCnews THE FLASH Trailer (2022)

 So what, I love The Flash and I really enjoyed (the comic) Flashpoint! Color me hyped!

Michael Keaton narrating the teaser! YESSSS!!

Looks like superhero movies are about to go the multiverse-route!

Will we get to see this scene "from the other perspective"?

#DCnews from #FanDome #2020

 Here's a bunch of news from DC/Warner's live streaming event Fandome, with my take on all this stuff.

Let's start off with the "big elephant in the room". The big grey dark and gritty elephant in the room, in slowmo. 

Snyder’s new cut of Justice League will stream exclusively on HBO Max in 2021.

Alright. I like some stuff in here, they clearly put the new scenes in the forefront. But don't believe this is what Snyder had in mind. This is a Snyder cut "in retrospect", what with the positive and negative feedback from Joss Whedon's finished cut for theaters. I'm sure he didn't had Darkseid in mind from the go, this is more like correct course-fixing for Steppenwolf's bad reception. Maybe bringing in ideas from the scrapped Justice League Part 2 they never made (Martian Manhunter, etc.). My honest take on all this? Making it 4 hours long isn’t going to make it any better.

Next up is a new trailer for Wonder Woman 1984, which is still looking pretty good if you ask me:

I like Cheetah's design. Not sold on her actual CGi though.

New trailer for a new season of The Flash:

Anyone still watching the show? I love the character. But this is way too much CW soap opera and not enough superhero for my taste...

Finally Matt Reeves' finally shows itself, and it looks pretty dope:

You can sort of feel this is built upon what Matt Reeves would have done had he continued upon's Chris Nolan's excellent Dark Knight trilogy. Like this was Matt Reeves' Dark Knight 4. Matt Reeves keeps saying he considers this an adaptation of Batman: Year Two, but I don't feel it so far. No Batfamily, no Robin, no colorful villains? I dunno... Anyways, it does look great. I'm half-sad we never truly got the BatFleck movie. ..

We also got a look at the highly anticipated James Gunn take on ....THE SUICIDE SQUAD! Looks like Gunn got ambitious with this one, which is awesome:

 

 

AND IT LOOKS AWESOME!! Now that's what the first film wanted to be! I like how this is both clearly a sequel to Suicide Squad... and they simply titled it the same The Suicide Squad. Lots of fun great characters, colorful set pieces and costumes. This seems actually fun. Suicide Squad/Birds of Prey wanted to look like this! Looks like it's a big turnover for the SS ip. The film is set to come out on August 6, 2021. 

And what about the game-side of things? Well, we got two different continuations of sorts of the Batman Arkham games.

First up returning developer Rocksteady exploring other parts of the DC Universe. With the long rumored Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League game, their first new game since Arkham Knight. 

 

Basically more of the same, the change of characters will be nice, and hey it's not that far from Batman's Gotham streets and universe. I already love the way this looks, less off-putting as Square Enix' Marvel's Avengers. Here we have full-fledged expressive characters, not off model not quite there-realistic Avengers. Nice synergy with James Gunn's film here, while not trying to imitate and being its own thing. I'm sure we can expect quality content and gameplay, if they avoid car segments/forced tank minigames. I'm getting a bit tired of evil Superman in DC media, though..... It will be released in 2022 on PS5, Xbox Series X and PC.

And if you're itching for some more Batman-centric game instead, worry not. Warner Bros clearly had a plan when they got WB Games working on an Arkham episode.

 

Acting as a successor of sorts to the Arkham series, Gotham Knights is a new Bat-centric game, this time being developed by WB Games Montreal. The studio behing the decent if less popular Batman: Arkham Origins (I still consider it better than Arkham Knight, SUE ME!). While the plot has to take place after Knight FOR REASONS, the game will instead focus on the Batfamily members of Nightwing, Batgirl, Robin and Red Hood. I can dig it! It will also allow for single play or two-player co-op (please, local couch play!!!). And visually and gameplay-wise, it really looks like more of the same, which I'm fine with. Gotham Knights is coming out sometime in 2021 on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X and PC. 

All in all - the Suicide Squad is being reinvigorated as a franchise. More Bat-stuff. DC is moving forward in both games and movies, I'd love to see the comics do the same...

#DCnews Crisis On Infinite Earths Trailer

Marvel might be kicking ass on the big screen. But DC's been kicking ass on the small screen for a pretty long while.

Who expected to ever see a live action adaptation of Crisis on Infinite Earths... on TV... on the CW of all things??

Here's the epic trailer for this crossover extravaganza:



The five-part Crisis on Infinite Earths crossover begins on Supergirl December 8, continuing through Batwoman, The Flash, Arrow, and Legends of Tomorrow. 

#DCnews Elseworlds | Elseworlds Extended Official Trailer | The CW

This year's crossover between the CW's DC shows looks... frankly, EPIC!!

Look at how fun it looks! The reference to the 90s Flash's show (and Earth??)! Batwoman!



I missed/skipped a few seasons, but I might need to catch this up.

#DeletedScenes That Justice League Movie we never got #3

Before Nolan, David Goyer and specially Zack Snyder got their hands all over the Justice League movie, Mad Max/Babe director George Miller was supposed to make the JLA live action film!

I've already written a couple times about this film in the past.

Like we already saw, it was going to be a film very much inspired by the DCU from the late 90s/2000s, with a similar roster of heroes and a similar type of story (with OMACs, etc.)

And now we can finally have a look at the only picture we'll ever have of George Miller's scrapped Justice League movie. A very blurry tiny pixelated pic of the JLA roster, but a picture no less!

Check this out:

Check out these costumes from Justice League Mortal! This and much more on todays #colliderheroes  @ColliderVideo https://t.co/kANAFIhDBz pic.twitter.com/dDdDLUD6eJ

It might look a bit weird and a bit cheesy. But it's certainly a lot more colorful and faithful than what we ultimately received. I particularly love Wonder Woman, the Martian Manhunter and the Flash! And even the silly looking Superman might have looked decent on actual screen, with post-prod effects and whatnot.

We can only imagine...

#DCNews Special | Suit Up Extended Trailer | The CW

It's time for yet another fun new promo for DC's CW shows!

As always, it's a fun short crossover video featuring characters from every single of their current show. Also, introducing Black Lightning who's finally getting his own live action series as well!

#DCnews Crisis On Earth-X | Sizzle | The CW

This year's crossover show-event promises to be pretty fun on the CW!

Check out this trailer that almost puts JLA to shame, despite the smaller TV budget:

#FanMade The Flash (Jay Garrick) - Opening (HQ)

A fan made a great recut of the Jay Garrick footage from the CW The Flash series to the theme song of the 90s The Flash CBS series! Check it out, it's AWESOME!!!

#DCNews LEGO Batman meets CW Superheroes Promo

Here's the first crossover between the DC-CW characters and the big screen.. or is that Batman's first appearance on the DCW Universe? Well, anyways this is a funny little promo that ran during Supergirl this week, a cross-promotion with the upcoming Lego Batman Movie. Check it out, it's great!



Aw! They should totally have the CW actors voice these characters more often from now on. Sounds like they couldn't get Brandon Routh for this, though. Since The Atom's just.. "there".

Remember the ol' Fight Club trailer the CW did with all their then-superhero shows last year or so? Well they made a new one!

It's The CW's Fight Club 2.0, now featuring Supergirl and even an appearance of the Martian Manhunter himself!



This is starting to look like comics brought to life more and more! Let's add the JSA to the mix! (Which they will, this year, on Legends')

#SDCCnews DC/CW shows get some new trailers for their upcoming seasons

And The Flash is looking A-MAZING!!









And here's a fun little trailer showing the whole ensemble as well as newcomer to the CW Supergirl!

#SDCCnews WONDER WOMAN and JLA Comic-Con Trailers

DC Comics released some new teaser trailers for the next upcoming films following Suicide Squad this year!

First up is the first proper look and trailer for Wonder Woman!



This actually.. doesn't look that bad! I like it! And check out, the new DC logo! Neat, I love the vintage look it has. Everything seems interesting. And there's even some touches of humor in the film! That theme song, tho!!

And next up is the first teaser for the film Zack Snyder, David Goyer & co have been working all along, the Justice League movie! Check it out:



They should just have scrapped Batman V Superman all along and go right to this crossover, right away.

I like the tone here, honest! But some stuff looks really bad here, specially The Flash's costume and Cyborg's whole design. And for some reason I was expecting The Flash to say "Super Friends" in that scene.

#DC News! Supergirl Teaser | The CW

CBS didn't want to renew Supergirl, so the (co-owned) CW swept in to bring over Supergirl to their network next season, where she will join the ranks of DC programs such as The Flash, Arrow and Legends of Tomorrow.

To celebrate the arrival of the girl of steel (and tease the upcoming epic 4-way crossover next year!!!!) they released this nice little teaser montage:



"Time for a change"? Hope they bring her over (and SUPERMAN!!) to the DCW universe!!

All we need now is Constantine back as well! (or put him in Legends!!)
