The first trailer for DC Studios' Supergirl feature is finally here to give us a look at what the Woman of Tomorrow is made of.

Though Superman's (technically) older cousin Kara Zor-El (Millie Alcock) was kind of a mess when we first met her, she's trying to pull it together in Supergirl's new trailer. The last daughter of Krypton needs her wits about her in order to help Ruthye Marye Knoll (Eve Ridley) - an young alien girl who's looking for justice after her father is murdered by deep space pirate Krem of the Yellow Hills (Matthias Schoenaerts).

This first look opens with Supergirl celebrating her 23rd birthday, before getting pulled int …

James Gunn has been coy about his plans for a follow-up to this year's excellent Superman movie, but the writer / director is finally sharing some concrete news about what's next for the Man of Steel. Gunn announced in an Instagram post today that the Superman sequel will be titled Man of Tomorrow and hit theaters on July 9th, 2027.

The Instagram post included a Jim Lee illustration of Superman and Lex Luthor in one of his Warsuits, which could mean we'll be seeing David Corenswet fighting Nicholas Hoult in a ridiculous armored suit. And it seems as …

Over the weekend, DC Studios' new Superman feature became this year's third-biggest box-office debut in the US. The movie's success is a sign that theatergoers might actually not be quite as tired of superheroes as people tend to think, and that's particularly notable for Warner Bros., given the studio's plan to build a new cinematic universe of DC Comics adaptations for the big screen. But making interconnected film franchises work is easier said than done. And even though Superman is putting up numbers, DC might have a much harder time doing the same with its next couple of cape movies.

Though it fell short of A Minecraft Movie's and Lilo …

For years, Warner Bros. Discovery has been playing a desperate game of catchup in hopes of recreating the success that Marvel achieved with its live action comics adaptations. DC movies had their moments, but they never managed to come together in a way that felt right or intentional. And for a long time, it seemed like WBD simply did not know how to pull itself out of a very expensive and artistically hollow downward spiral.

Things got so bad that the studio eventually pulled the plug on the entire enterprise and decided to start over with a new cinematic universe crafted by James Gunn and Peter Safran. It felt like a risky bet both becaus …

Were it not for Neil Gaiman getting caught up in a sexual misconduct scandal, Netflix's live-action adaptation of The Sandman comics could have run for much longer given how much source material there is to be pulled from. But you can see in the new trailer for the show's second and final season that the streamer is going to try to fit in as many of Dream's remaining stories as it possibly can.

Though the dead aren't meant to be able to escape hell, there is nothing Dream (Tom Sturridge) won't do to free his beloved Nada (Deborah Oyelade) from eternal damnation in The Sandman's new trailer. Lucifer (Gwendoline Christie) would like nothing m …

And for its next trick, DC Studios is expanding its new cinematic universe with a series focused on Mister Miracle.

During its presentation at this year's Annecy Film Festival, DC studios announced it is producing an adult animated Mister Miracle series that will be showrun and executive produced by comics writer Tom King. Based on King and Mitch Gerads' 2017 Mister Miracle comics series, the new show will center famed escape artist Scott Free / Mister Miracle as he sets out to pull off his greatest stunt: escaping death itself.

Per the studio's logline, things start to go "horribly wrong with the perfect life that Scott and his warrior w …

Though Superman is clearly going to get the living daylights beat out of him at some point in James Gunn's upcoming DC Studios feature, the movie's latest trailer puts a spotlight on how the Man of Steel gets put back together again.

During its presentation at this year's CinemaCon, Warner Bros. shared an extended sneak peek from the new Superman, and the studio has just posted the footage online. For the most part, the video focuses on a very badly-wounded Superman (David Corenswet) begging for his dog, Krypto, to drag him home because he's unable to walk or fly.

While it's played for comedy, it's a little morbid to see Superman's body f …

The first trailer for the next theatrical take on Superman is finally here. After some teasing, DC Studios released the debut look at the new film, which is simply called Superman. It opens with Superman crashing in a frozen landscape, clearly injured, before flashing back to his life as Clark Kent. A handful of villains make an appearance - including Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor - but overall the vibe seems to be one of hope. There's even a very dramatic take on the classic Superman theme song. And yes, the dog makes an appearance.

The movie is a major part of the revamped DC Studios, which saw James Gunn and Peter Safran take over the div …

Regardless of what the studio insists on calling it internally, Sony's Spider-Man Universe of live-action features will always be better known as "those Spider-Man spinoffs where Spider-Man never shows up for legal reasons." Sony's plan to build an entire franchise out of standalone films about Peter Parker's nemeses always read as a transparent attempt at riding Marvel Studios' coattails post-Spider-Man: Homecoming. And the idea also just seemed kind of silly because of how large Spider-Man typically features in stories about characters like Venom, Morbius, and Madame Web.

Though none of Sony's Spider-Man-less Spider-Man movies have been s …

The DC Comics character Clayface has been getting plenty of play on Max's Harley Quinn series, where he's voiced by Alan Tudyk. But it's looking like the shape-shifting villain's next act will take him to the big screen.

Variety reports that The Haunting of Hill House creator Mike Flanagan has signed on to write a new Clayface feature for DC Studios that will be produced by Matt Reeves and Lynn Harris' company 6th & Idaho. Currently, there are no details about who will direct the project, but Warner Bros. Discovery reportedly intends for it to begin filming some time next year.
