In the hands of writer-director James Gunn, DC's most iconic hero is getting a major emotional overhaul. Over the past several decades, Superman has seen countless live-action reimaginings, from Christopher Reeve's bright-eyed classic in the late '70s and '80s, to Brandon Routh's reverent Superman Returns (2006), and even Henry Cavill's darker, modernized take in Man of[...]

It's not really news that Joker: Folie À Deux wasn't a huge hit for DC and Warner Bros., especially after the positive reception surrounding the first Joker film That being said, it does have some fun with its strong cast and unique structure.

Not too long ago, there was a search to find the next live-action roster of DC heroes, leading to a tight race for the role of Supergirl The primary contenders?

It was back during San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC) 2023 that we learned that animated film adaptations for Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths (inspired by the twelve-issue maxi-series by Marv Wolfman & George Pérez) and Watchmen (based on writer Alan Moore, artist Dave Gibbons, and colorist John Higgins's classic work) were on the way[...]

So the last stage of all that healing is helping other people, and that's exactly what she's doing." As a follow-up, the site asked if she'd now follow James Gunn to DC, with the actor adding, "The fact that Nebula turned into ten years of work is the greatest thing that's happened to me So,[...]

Currently, DC is moving forward with the upcoming Superman: Legacy, including cast announcements, pre-production procedures, and even confirmation on progress for upcoming projects like Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow And when Superman: Legacy is finally released, the entire DC cinematic universe will get a clean slate where anything is possible But for fans of one recent[...]

We've basically arrived at the end of the line for the current era of DC's current cinematic universe with Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom And even though it wasn't planned to be this way, one could argue that the silver lining is having a chance to (mostly) wrap up a few storylines for fan-favorite actors[...]

At one point in time, we were looking at a large roster of DC's cinematic heroes, including the already-revealed Justice League lineup, along with the eventual integration of characters like Shazam, Black Adam, and Blue Beetle each poised to make overarching franchise opportunities However, as you already know, things have shifted mainly since DC's now[...]

Discovery decided to overhaul the DC Universe completely The three entries that came out before Aquaman didn't give the studio a lot of confidence that people were still interested in these versions of these characters Blue Beetle got kneecapped by the strikes and while it did well critically, it commercially bombed Of the films released[...]

Blue Beetle was a film that's already helped guide DC away from their previous stories and into something different, even though it's still technically not the beginning of that next "relaunch" era In superhero films, everything from an origin story to the significance of family and even a loss rocks the characters to their core[...]

Due to its complicated window of release, DC's recent film Blue Beetle was definitely impacted by the effects of the recent strike (including no promotional opportunities for its cast), which unfortunately caused the film to struggle to recoup its budget at the box office Despite that, the dark horse DC film still garnered buzz-worthy praise[...]

DC Studios and Warner Bros Discovery aren't exactly having a great year at the box office. Shazam! Fury of the Gods underperformed both critically and commercially, The Flash was a disaster on nearly every level, and when they finally released a good movie with Blue Beetle, the ongoing strikes and the fallout from Barbenheimer meant that no one[...]

Of the three released DC movies so far this year, Blue Beetle was by far the best one, and it's also the one that underperformed the worst at the box office There were a lot of factors that likely went into that, including fallout from Barbenheimer, lack of faith that DC could pull anything off after[...]

While there does appear to be a plan at DC Studios, what exactly is going on there still seems a bit up in the air and seems to get more and more confusing every single time a movie underperforms Three DC films underperformed this year, and one was even pretty good and didn't deserve it;[...]

Even though DC's Blue Beetle wasn't a huge box office hit with audiences, the film became a critical moment in the superhero genre after creating a big-budget flick that offered audiences overdue on-screen Latino representation – with a titular hero and authentic stories that aren't always the focus of comic book movies. And even though a[...]

With the recent relaunch for DC, all bets are off, except for the fact that we've recently been informed (by James Gunn) that there will be a few small details carrying over into the next era One of which is the current cinematic iteration of Blue Beetle! © 2023 Warner Bros Ent All Rights Reserved TM[...]

This film hasn't exactly had a smooth road to the box office, even though it is a sequel to one of the best DC movies box office wise That isn't the case, and the sequel to a film that came out in late 2018 is now being released in late 2023 after many delays due[...]
