Amazon’s new Batman: Caped Crusader series from executive producers J. J. Abrams, Matt Reeves, and Bruce Timm sounds very much like yet another Batman origin story. But the show’s 1940’s, Golden Era of comics vibe makes it seem like it’ll make for a kitschy watch when it debuts on August 1st.
DC Studios heads James Gunn and Peter Safran have been tightlipped about their True Detective-inspired Green Lantern series.
But we’re about to start hearing a lot more about it now that HBO has officially greenlit the project for eight episodes, and announced that Chris Mundy will be showrunning with Damon Lindelof and Tom King writing.

Say what you will about Marvel’s What If...? Disney Plus series, but it has obviously had at least some influence on Warner Bros.’ new animated Watchmen films that are scheduled to debut some time in the near future.
A month ago, we got news that a new Batman: Arkham game was in the works, this time exclusively for the Meta Quest 3. Now, we have a brief trailer detailing a very bad July 4th in Gotham City. Unfortunately, Arkham Shadow still doesn’t have a release date — only that it will arrive in fall 2024.
Comics legend Frank Miller has largely withdrawn from the public eye in recent years. But with the release of Frank Miller: American Genius — director Silenn Thomas’ new documentary — he’s opening his life back up to fans for one night only (June 10th) when the film hits Cinemark theaters across the country. New Yorkers can also catch an earlier screening on June 6th.
George Miller’s Furiosa paints a broader picture of Mad Max’s apocalyptic world while letting its heroine play second fiddle in her own film.
X-Men ‘97’s weekly release schedule was a key part of what made the first season such a glorious return for Marvel’s mutants.
People sure seem to like Amazon’s adaptation of The Boys, and Amazon likes it when folks are watching its shows, which makes the news that the gritty superhero show has been renewed for a fifth season anything but a surprise.

Batman: Caped Crusader jumping ship to Amazon Studios after the Warner Bros. Discovery merger made it seem like the project might never see the light of day. But the series now has an August 1st premiere date, and it seems like when the show drops, it will be introducing yet another new Harley Quinn riff.
We already knew what Warner Bros.’ new live-action Clark Kent (David Corenswet) would look like out of costume, but now we know what to expect from a fully suited-up Superman. Seems like James Gunn has gone for an aesthetic that’s classic, if a little baggy in the shoulders.
The first season of My Adventures with Superman left most of the superheroic heavy lifting to Clark Kent (Jack Quaid) as villains terrorized metropolis. Even more of Superman’s classic foes are making their way to the show in its second season (out May 25th.) But this time around, the Man of Steel is going to have a bit more Kryptonian muscle on his side.
Disney Plus is well on its way to becoming a cable channel, and the final trailer for X-Men ‘97 makes it feel like the series is going to be following suit given the Cable of it all.
Yggsgard, a fusion of Asgard and Yggdrasill, is just one of the destructible battlefields where Marvel Rivals’ characters will be duking it out when the game launches later this year. The map looks gorgeous in this new reveal video, but it also seems like the sort of place that’s going to be fun to blast apart.
The last time Heroes was brought back from the dead led to one of the most befuddling bits of superhero storytelling to ever make it to air, but Tim Kring is reportedly shopping around a new show — Heroes: Eclipsed — that will feature “familiar villains and new enemies.”
To create the X-Men ‘97 score, Andy Grush and Taylor Stewart had to work through their nostalgia and create new sounds from the future.
There are any number of reasons Joaquin Phoenix is sobbing in the new Joker: Folie à Deux teaser, but it probably has something to do with the fact that the proper trailer isn’t dropping until later tonight.
Sure, Joaquin Phoenix is in the movie, but we’re all showing up to see Joker: Folie à Deux for Lady Gaga’s turn as Harley Quinn. Every official photo of the duo in costume has looked promising so far, but after the musical thriller’s first trailer drops on Sunday, we’ll probably know what they sound like together.
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.
Disney Plus’ new X-Men animated series is a throwback to the days when comics adaptations could focus on their own stories instead of cinematic franchises.
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.
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.

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.
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.
While Matt Reeves’ The Batman Part II was originally slated for an October 2025 release date, Warner Bros. has reportedly bumped the project back by a full year.

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.
The art of turning iconic animated TV shows into legitimately good live action series and films is something Hollywood still hasn’t quite figured out. But that’s not stopping Legendary from making a live-action Naruto movie with Shang-Chi director Destin Daniel Cretton.
