Is Gotham Knights a Sequel in the Batman: Arkham Knight Universe?

New DVD release, , , , , ,
At long last, we have a new Batman game to look forward to, only WB Games Montreal’s new Gotham-set open-world co-op adventure doesn’t actually feature the Dark Knight. Instead, Gotham Knights is set after the death of Bruce Wayne, which leaves the city in the hands of his surrogate crime-fighting children. Batgirl, Nightwing, Robin, and Red Hood must now work together to take on new threats to Gotham, including a mysterious new criminal cabal known as the Court of Owls. The extended Bat-Family taking on the Caped Crusader’s duties as protectors of Gotham City is the logical progression of the…

DC Universe Loses Original Content to HBO Max, Comics to Stay

New DVD release, , , ,
It appears that the DC Universe experiment is coming to an end. Launched in 2018 with the noble intention of providing fans with a one stop resource for comics, message boards, and new original programming, the streaming service and comics library has struggled almost out of the gate. Despite producing a succession of critically acclaimed live action and animated original shows, confidence in DC Universe as its own entity never seemed terribly high. Its flagship live action show, Titans, was met with middling reviews. The next on its slate, Swamp Thing, fared better critically but was canceled and saw its…

New DVD release, , , ,
Decades ago (pandemic time), DC Comics announced that John Ridley, Oscar-winning writer of 12 Years a Slave and creator of the award-winning American Crime, would be writing a series about major events in DC history from the perspective of heroes from traditionally marginalized groups. And now, in the wake of All This *waves at the world*, that series finally has a release date. The Other History of the DC Universe is coming from DC Comics in November of this year. The book is written by Ridley, with art from Giuseppi Camuncoli (Darth Vader: Dark Lord of the Sith), Andrea Cucchi,…

Control Developer Remedy Working on New “Connected Universe” Game

New DVD release, , , , ,
In a recent blog post, Remedy hinted that their next project could help further the idea of a shared universe in their video games. “For over 10 years, we’ve had a crazy dream,” says Sam Lake, Remedy’s creative director. “The idea that the tales told in some of our games would be connected to each other, a connected world of stories and events with shared characters and lore. Each game is a stand-alone experience, but each game is also a doorway into a larger universe with exciting opportunities for crossover events.” Obviously, that statement could be interpreted as a bit…

Kipo Creator Wants To Make “100 Films” In The Kipo Universe

New DVD release, , ,
Kipo and the Age of the Wonderbeasts is a glorious animated series that, if you somehow aren’t watching, you need to stop what you’re doing and inject it directly into your eyeballs. It’s one of the most fun, inventive, and inclusive series out there for kids and adults (with a killer soundtrack as well!) There’s only two seasons so far but Rad Sechrist, the creator of the series, already has ideas for further adventures that go beyond the scope of the main series’ story. He’s shared a few on Twitter and we asked him to elaborate on these ideas and…

Stargirl Season 2 Confirmed, Leaving DC Universe for CW

New DVD release, , , ,
Well, this is certainly a weird caveat to have to accompany a renewal announcement. DC’s Stargirl season 2 is officially a go. This is great news. But the other piece of this news may not land as well for fans of the DC Universe streaming service, as the show will leave DC Universe to air exclusively on the CW beginning with its second season. Under the current model, new episodes of Stargirl premiere on DC Universe on Mondays before airing (in lightly edited form) on The CW on Tuesday nights. Variety reports that Stargirl’s ratings on Tuesday nights are consistent…

Alien and Predator Join Marvel Universe

New DVD release, , ,
After decades published by Dark Horse Comics, the Aliens and Predator comic franchises are joining Marvel according to an announcement today. Creative teams haven’t been announced, but the company did release promotional art of both the titular monsters by artist David Finch (Eisner winning artist of Batman). The new books are set to arrive in 2021. “Alien and Predator are the two of the most identifiable, iconic characters of all time, and I love them for that,” Finch told IGN. “But mostly, it’s being fortunate enough to be a kid when they were new. I’ve seen every movie they’ve ever…

Jason Blum: No Plans To Restart Universal Monsters Universe

New DVD release, , , , ,
It seems like an eternity ago — but it’s only been three years — that Universal Studios’ proposed “Dark Universe” collapsed after its disastrous debut with The Mummy. A proposed slate of interconnected films featuring Javier Bardem as Frankenstein’s monster, Johnny Depp as The Invisible Man, Russell Crowe as Dr. Jekyll (not originally a Universal property, but whatever) and even Angelina Jolie as the Bride of Frankenstein was quietly entombed in the studio’s development crypt after The Mummy unraveled like a…you get the idea. Flash forward to 2020 and Universal took a tentative step back into the monster pool this…

DC FanDome to Reveal DCEU, Arrowverse, and More DC Universe Secrets

New DVD release, , , ,
The comics world is still disappointed at the necessary cancellation of an entire year of conventions due to the ongoing Coronavirus outbreak in the United States. While more than half the fun of the comic con experience was being part of the joyful, sweaty mass of people wandering the floor and feeding off of each other’s excitement, a good chunk of that feeling was the hype of new movies, panels with beloved creators, and the flood of breaking news hurtling out of them. DC Entertainment is trying to capture some of that magic on August 22 with DC FanDome. Announced…

Wilson makes his feature directorial debut with Bloodshot, the new Vin Diesel action/sci-fi thriller based on the superhero character created by Valiant Comics.

Universal Monsters: The Invisible Man Shows Life After Dark Universe Death

New DVD release, , , , , ,
Over the last weekend, an eerie thing happened at the box office: Leigh Whannell and Blumhouse Productions’ The Invisible Man brought the Universal Monsters legacy back with a vengeance. Over-performing with a monstrous box office bow of $29 million in the U.S. alone, the horror reimagining of the H.G. Wells novel (and James Whale’s 1933 film) more than quadrupled its $7 million budget in only three days. This is of course good news about a good horror movie, one of the best in a while with its panic attack-inducing allegory about a woman being gaslighted by an abusive ex. But…

Highly Recommended In the town of Beach City, life is pretty quiet, except for the adventures of Steven Universe (Zach Callison) and a band of warriors known as the Crystal Gems -- Garnet (Estelle), Amethyst (Michaela Dietz), and Pearl (Deedee Magno). With the support of Steven's concerned father Greg (Tom Scharpling), who keeps an eye out from his home/van, Steven goes on adventures with the Crystal Gems to help protect Earth from mysterious forces from out in the deeper reaches of the galaxy. Between missions, Steven also finds time to befriend a local girl, Connie (Grace Rolek), and get into…
