by

Once upon a time, a Justice League film was in the works under the direction of George Miller.

Jason Momoa confirms popular Aquaman fan theory from Man of Steel

by

Before the DC Extended Universe, there was simply Man of Steel. A film meant to revive the Superman franchise in the same way that Christopher Nolan breathed new life into Batman.

Ray Fisher reveals the villains that he would like to see appear in a Cyborg solo film

Justice League is nearly out in theaters, and that means Cyborg is about to be thrust into the mainstream spotlight.

Henry Cavill discusses the tone of the Justice League movie

by

Given that the biggest criticism of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice was the film’s dark tone, it’s no surprise that questions come up concerning the tone of the upcoming Justice League film. And why not? After Zack Snyder stepped down for personal reasons, we were given Joss Whedon as a replacement. Both of these […]

Kevin Conroy shares his opinion on why Batman doesn’t kill

by

One of Batman’s flagship qualities is that he does not take a life. In any altercation, Bruce Wayne/ Batman will attempt to save a foe by any means necessary, preferring to use intellect, and skill over lethal force. Batman v.
