What if The Batman had a plague subplot?

Former DC Comics freelancer Christopher Wozniak sued Warner Bros and DC over allegedly lifting the plot for Matt Reeves’ movie, The Batman, from a Batman story he wrote. Unfortunately, Reuters reports that last week a judge decided that, actually, his story infringed on DC’s characters.

Both stories are summarized in the decision, and sure, Wozniak’s tale has some similar beats, but also old Batman, a viral outbreak, and a Joker reveal at the end. Read for yourself in the gallery below.

All of Sony’s live-action Spider-Man movies are swinging back into theaters.

You can easily watch most of Sony’s live-action Spider-Man movies on Disney Plus if the mood strikes you. But if you’ve been yearning to see Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield, and Tom Holland’s Peters Parker back on the big screen, you’ll have a shot at catching all eight of the past Spidey films in select theaters beginning April 15th.

James Gunn is making a Teen Titans movie.

Aside from Batman and Superman, we don’t really know which DC superheroes will make up the foundation of James Gunn and Peter Safran’s new cinematic universe of cape projects at Warner Bros. Discovery.

But the studio’s just announced its plans to produce a new live-action Teen Titans movie from writer Ana Nogueira, which — for other films — could portend the arrival of characters like Wonder Woman and the Flash as the larger franchise continues to come together.

The Crow just won’t die in new trailer for Lionsgate’s remake.

Between the gruesome murders, supernatural resurrection, and moody quest for vengeance, director Rupert Sanders’ upcoming remake of The Crow seems like it should have all the right ingredients to appeal to fans of the original comic.

And yet, watching the movie’s new trailer, there’s something that feels kind of off — maybe it’s the Yolandi Visser cut — about Bill Skarsgård’s take on the undead vigilante. The film’s out June 7th.

The cast of X-Men ‘97 want you to feel the hype.

It’s kind of telling how X-Men ‘97’s creator / showrunner Beau DeMayo isn’t featured in this new sizzle reel hyping up the show before its March 20th premiere, but the cast seems pretty excited to be back voicing their iconic roles.

Takashi Miike’s latest film is an Apple-branded, live-action manga adaptation.

Osamu Tezuka’s 1986 manga Midnight probably hasn’t been on your radar as a series primed for a live-action adaptation, but its story about a loney taxi driver is the inspiration behind director Takashi Miike’s new 19-minute-long short film produced in collaboration with Apple and shot on an iPhone 15 Pro.
