Has the mainstream audience outgrown comic book movies? We ponder whether comic book movies have enough audience to warrant such big budgets now… Remember a time when short of being one of the big two of Batman or Superman, comic book adaptations were seen as a sure-fire money pit?

Jason Momoa didn’t recognise Dolph Lundgren when they met on Aquaman set
Aquaman star Jason Momoa apparently didn’t recognise Dolph Lundgren when the two first met on the film’s set.

Well, this […]

David Ayer is “done with DC” and Suicide Squad: The Ayer Cut
