If you like underdogs, it’s hard not to root for the DCU. After all, this is Warner Bros.’s second attempt to compete with the insanely popular MCU after the embarrassing collapse (some would say prolapse) that was the DCEU. Obviously, it’s good for superhero fans to have two different franchises cranking out great films and…

Disney+ has officially ordered a new animated series. It will bring the classic Disney superhero back to screens with a new cast led by Mark Hamill, Seth Rogen, and Kathryn Newton.

As Wesley Snipes’ Blade once put it, “Some motherf***ers are always trying to ice-skate uphill.” That seems strangely apt for the short-lived “Blade” continuation series, which did its best to pick up where Snipes’ Blade film trilogy left off. Was he in it? No. Had the movies gotten better with each successive entry, thereby priming…

Lanterns Episode 6 may have quietly answered a question about the DCU that fans weren’t necessarily asking yet. During the episode, John Stewart says there is “no Superman” in Midway City, a seemingly straightforward line that becomes considerably more interesting when viewed through the lens of DC Comics history. Midway City is one of the…

The modern era of cinema is the golden age for superhero movies. There is just no real argument against it, as films like The Incredibles, The Dark Knight, and the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe helped set the stage for this to become the popular genre it is today. Superhero projects were once often viewed as…

Marvel spent most of 2026 telling readers that a new hero with unrivaled power was coming, and then spent four issues of an Avengers event refusing to say who he was. The answer landed in Avengers: Armageddon #4, and it is bigger than a new character. David Colton, the post-9/11 Captain America that Chip Zdarsky…

Comic books are no stranger to horror, but for as popular as they may be, superheroes and horror movies rarely mix. More often than not, they prioritize special effects and deliver bombastic setpieces that seem tailor-made to make audiences burst out in cheers. It’s rare to think of a superhero movie as scary, but there…

A blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moment from the new VisionQuest trailer may hint at the inclusion of another major MCU superhero. Completing the trilogy that started with 2021’s WandaVision and 2024’s Agatha All Along, VisionQuest will bring Paul Bettany’s titular Vision back into action beginning on October 14, continuing his run as one of the MCU’s longest-running stars. 

The 2000s were a weird time for superhero TV shows. It was basically the one decade in the lifetime of millennials that didn’t feature a bunch of TV series centered on the concept of superheroes. The ’90s had stellar cartoons like Batman: The Animated Series and X-Men: The Animated Series. The 2010s brought Arrow, The…

Julia Hart’s striking 2018 drama “Fast Color” could easily serve as a soulful, more contemplative version of “X-Men: Origins — Storm.” “Fast Color” stars Gugu Mbatha-Raw as Ruth, a young woman who wanders the American Midwest in a dystopian future where it no longer rains. Ruth is wary of visiting anywhere, as she is susceptible…
