JUSTICE LEAGUE Gets A Director’s Cut Debut On HBO Max In 2021

#ReleaseTheSnyderCut has been the social media driving force from fans in the wake of director Zack Snyder’s hampered mixed bag of untapped potential that was superhero ensemble, Justice League. All you need really at this point is to check out Screen Junkies’s “honest trailer” from a few years ago (and maybe this one too just for shits and gigs) to get the gist of what’s what, but with rumors forever shrouding the conversation with suspicion over the existence of an unreleased director’s cut, it wasn’t until last December when Snyder made it official in a not-so-cryptic Vero post. That, and everything else the director has posted in the months since then now brings us to the timely announcement of Snyder’s director’s cut of Justice League, which will now have its exclusive world premiere in 2021 on streaming platform, HBO Max, which officially launches on May 27. The Warner Bros. Pictures/DC […]

Review: JUSTICE LEAGUE Is A Beautiful, Chaotic, Entertaining Mess

Few films have the kind of rocky origin story that Justice League has had. Its predecessor, the “surefire hit” Batman v Superman, was savaged by critics and audiences alike. The harshest responses of all came from the fanboy community, who reacted as if Zach Snyder had broken into their houses and destroyed all their memorabilia in front of them. Warner Bros., a studio that has become the poster child for overreacting, proceeded to butcher Suicide Squad in hopes of making it more audience friendly (they failed) and started trying to micromanage JL.  Things got worse last March when Snyder had to leave the project entirely due to the tragic suicide of his daughter – something that more than a few fanboys treated like poetic justice for making a comic book movie they didn’t like. Snyder’s replacement for the (extensive) reshoots and post-production couldn’t have been more different from him; Avengers […]

JUSTICE LEAGUE: The Heroes Are Almost All-In In The Final Trailer

Warner Bros. and DC Entertainment have been hitting hard and heavy in the days leading up to this weekend’s New York Comic Con for Justice League. Hailing from director with extinuating work by Joss Whedon in recent months, time will tell if all those rumored reshoots made a difference when the film opens next month. In the meantime, it indeed took awhile for the trailers to really make it feel like this film was going somewhere. The last one was awesomely sold and the final trailer has now arrived with at least one key ingredient for fans long awaiting to see the remergence of DCEU franchise principal, Henry Cavill. Fueled by his restored faith in humanity and inspired by Superman’s selfless act, Bruce Wayne enlists the help of his newfound ally, Diana Prince, to face an even greater enemy. Together, Batman and Wonder Woman work quickly to find and recruit […]

JUSTICE LEAGUE Nails It With The New Comic-Con Sneak Peek Trailer

The earlier trailers for Zack Snyder’s latest film, Justice League, haven’t been all approving despite attempts to keep the energy and excitement high (Godsmack’s “Come Together” was a nice added touch last time). Needless to say, just splashing our heroes onto the screen hasn’t really been enough for a lot of positive feedback to stick and this, coupled with Joss Whedon’s entry to help finish the film following Snyder’s own departure for personal matters have certainly added a pinch of uncertainty. Thus, this latest hat trick being from Warner Bros. Pictures for its DC Comics adapations is set for a November 17 release and amid all things Comic-Con this weekend, a fresh new trailer arrived online and right off the bat, you can instantly tell the change in tone and substance from before. We get glimpses of all our heroes opposite our current villain in Darkseid’s general, Steppenwolf, as he […]

JUSTICE LEAGUE Poster And Teases Announce Official Trailer Launching Saturday!

It’s perhaps the one other biggest superhero amalgam to be put on the screen following Marvel’s The Avengers. Surely, the execution of the DCU mostly housed at Warner Bros. hasn’t been a flawless one, but it has grasped itself a footing with some great prospects in hand, mile-marked by the forthcoming release of the new movie, Justice League. The first official teaser arrived via Comic-Con in San Diego last year offering a meaty, lighter feel for its touch with Zack Snyder and folks at Warner Bros. moving to help reverse course on a few creative areas after Batman V. Superman: Dawn Of Justice. As of Wednesday, the first of a slate of several official tease announcements for the film’s full trailer went viral with a launch date now set for this Saturday, March 25. SYNOPSIS: In Justice League, fueled by his restored faith in humanity and inspired by Superman’s selfless […]

Ezra Miller To Reprise His Role As 'The Flash' In SUICIDE SQUAD

Warner Bros.  Had enough press following last week’s pulse-pounding comic con trailer for David Ayer’s Suicide Squad? Well, make room for just a little more, because news broke on Thursday of a press kit that just revealed more than one superhero cameo will be in the film. Yes, you probably already know Batman will make an appearance, but leave it to The Wrap who have it on good terms that actor Ezra Miller will make a pit stop as well in the role of The Flash. It is unknown to what capacity the character will appear in the film but as far as guesses go, it probably won’t matter as Warner Bros. digs itself deeper into its DC Comics movieverse and continues to generate the positive responses they’re now receiving since airing trailers for Wonder Woman and Justice League in which Miller will also star next November. For now though, […]

SDCC 2016: Comic-Con Loads Up With Teaser Trailers For WONDER WOMAN And JUSTICE LEAGUE

It’s been 75 years since William Moulton Marston brought DC Comics character Wonder Woman to life in ink. Between then and now, it’s also been an insufferable matter of time until the Amazonian warrior would finally get her day in a feature film of her own after decades of Batman and Superman televsion shows and movies, save for a three-season program that would make actress Lynda Carter a televsion icon. Nonetheless, no one can say it’s been fair ride until now. Wonder Woman herself is finally getting her day as of next June and with Warner Bros. fully entrenched in their efforts to make the DC Cinematic Universe a thing following this year’s albeit wobbly delivery of Batman V. Superman: Dawn Of Justice. As such, it’s high time Marston’s creation got the respect it has long deserved, and with Monster helmer Patty Jenkins at the helm and showing out for […]

Check Out The New Batmobile From JUSTICE LEAGUE

With news of Willem Dafoe and Fast 8 co-star Kristofer Hivju confirmed for roles in Zack Snyder’s upcoming Justice League, more details are beginning to roll out about what the director has in store. Much of this has to do with a change of pace from the grim and gloomier tone of its predecessor, Batman V. Superman: Dawn Of Justice which faced a massive mix criticism partly founded on its shortcome box office results. And so, this week we’ve got some cool gems coming out, including a few from Live For Film which also contains, among other things, a picture of the new Batmobile. Cameras are still rolling ahead of the film’s November 17, 2017 release but if it’s true and the studio actually makes its Comic Con appearance next month as it has been reported in the past few days, fans are going to be in for some real […]

Ben Affleck Boards WB's JUSTICE LEAGUE As Executive Producer

The past few months have been somewhat tumultuous for Warner Bros. in the wake of Batman V. Superman: Dawn Of Justice. Suicide Squad underwent more filming in recent weeks for a number of reasons and The Flash is, once again, in need of a director while the former’s helmer, Zack Snyder, is on notice with fans – mixed reviews and such. He’s currently underway with directing Justice League: Part One and much to his credit as well apart from critical murmurs with BvS raking in a global gross just shy of $900 million; It’s still quite a feat to achieve, but with the nature of franchise fatigue, caution looms – a fact that even Warner Bros. adhered to in the wake of news in April that it would focus more on tenpole films such as those of its DC Comics titles. One other update at the time according to THR […]

JUSTICE LEAGUE Casts Willem Dafoe For Mystery Role!

The forthcoming Justice League films are still taking shape with director Zack Snyder returning to the helm in what will eventually total as four Warner Bros/DC titles. This will likely fare better for some more than others in the wake of divisive responses toward Batman V. Superman: Dawn Of Justice, to which our own Khalil Barnett contributed his own clarity on the matter in this terrific review. Needless to say, the DCCU will be in intriguing and controversial one. The fans take it seriously and with that, the studio knows at least to bring on an impressive cast to lead the world-building superhero affair on camera, and they’ve done terrific on that end as recently as actor J.K. Simmon’s addition to the Justice League as Commissioner Gordon amid Dawn Of Justice co-star Ben Affleck’s current efforts toward all things Batman in the next several years. As of this week now, […]

No George Miller For MAN OF STEEL 2

Den Of Geek is reporting that Man Of Steel 2 has been put on “permanent hold”, which is a bit of a shock considering it was only last week that “The Death Of Superman Lives: What Happened?” helmer Jon Schnepp announced that Mad Max: Fury Road helmer George Miller was up to direct the film. Whatever it means, it’s not to suggest that the film won’t happen, especially since there’s been a clear interest in making one now that Warner Bros. is well under way with its DC cinematic universe in addition to a potential Batman trilogy starring and directed by Ben Affleck. Miller himself was supposed to direct DC movie, Justice League back in 2008 as his name was one of several candidates listed, including Lana and Andy Wachowski. His current business also includes adding to the desolate universe of his latest blockbuster success, Mad Max, while it is […]

Warner Bros. Annonces Its Six-Year Slate Of DC Universe Films

Marvel muscled up its repetoire on Tuesday with a new addition to its comic book line to possibly accompany its third impending installment of Captain America 3, essentially opening the door to a new phase in their cinematic universe. This comes as DC Entertainment and Warner Bros have been aiming to go neck-and-neck with their current focus on director Zack Synder’s Batman V. Superman: The Dawn Of Justice, following their blockbuster success with Man Of Steel last year, in addition to the development of other properties for film. Well, the competition is now beefing up this week in the months since Warner Bros. and DC Entertainment listed at least nine or ten more movies in an announcement this summer prior to San Diego Comic-Con. Moreover, it is also worth noting that considering the electrifying response that ensued with the exclusive Comic-Con teaser for BvS: DoJ, clearly WB and DC are […]

Batman Co-Creator Bob Kane To Get A Posthumous Star On The Hollywood Walk Of Fame

It’s an era of superhero movies and a better time than any to honor their creators. As such, the name of late comic book author and co-creator Bob Kane comes to mind when one ponders just who will get a star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame. That recent decision came with a new announcement from Maureen Schultz, Chairwoman of the Walk of Fame selection committee for 2014-2015, according to a new report from Comicbook.com Together with undercredited writer Bill Finger and inker Jerry Robinson, Kane helped manifest one of the most celebrated superheroes in comic book and entertainment history, all right from of their platform at Detective Comics starting in 1939.

The JUSTICE LEAGUE Is Coming!

Well, it’s official. Director Zack Snyder is putting his best foot forward with DC and Warner Bros. for a Justice League film that will follow the long awaited release of the Man Of Steel 2/Batman vs. Superman movie which is still awaiting an official title. The news just broke late in the weekend following previous reports of the second film’s push back from its initial July 17, 2015 date so that Snyder and the other filmmaker could fully realize their vision. Casting announcements are still in constant flux, with official updates still needed regarding just how actors Jason Momoa, Matt Damon or Dwanye “The Rock” Johnson will be involved in Warner Bros. growing DC film series. In addition, there is also the issue of what will happen with other characters like Green Lantern and Flash, the latter who is currently poised for a standalone television series on the CW later […]

BATMAN/SUPERMAN Update: Gal Gadot Has Been Lifting…Bro.

Photo: Collider It wasn’t very long ago that Fast And Furious leading lady Gal Gadot became the center of some heavy criticism from the genre fanboy bickersphere of the interwebs regarding her recent casting for the role of Diana/Wonder Woman in director Zack Snyder‘s upcoming Batman/Superman movie.

Justice League Updates: Superman And Batman Speak Out

Justice League Updates: Superman And Batman Speak Out

The half-billion dollar blockbuster success and sequel provocation of the Zack Snyder-directed Man Of Steel has led anxiously driven fans closer and closer to the hopes of a Justice League movie that apparently can’t happen soon enough. Actor Henry Cavill, who plays the titular role told Entertainment Weekly about a week ago that it is not likely to happen anytime soon, and really, it’s out of respect for the creative process. He says “Justice League could be great if done correctly. It’s a very tough one to do because the DC comic heroes are all god-like in their power. So in this real world universe, real-world setting we’re telling our story in, it’s going to be tough to achieve that. It has to be done very delicately with a lot of thought. So, it won’t be right away. I hope it’s not, anyway. It may take some time of building up […]

FCSyndicate's Morning-After Review: MAN OF STEEL (2013)

FCSyndicate's Morning-After Review: MAN OF STEEL (2013)

SYNOPSIS: A young itinerant worker is forced to confront his secret extraterrestrial heritage when Earth is invaded by members of his race. When news about Man Of Steel initially came out, I’m pretty sure some people had their doubts. People are always weary of remakes and reboots. And I’m not innocent of that sentiment, because I, too, worry about how a particular property is handled in its adaptation. So when Superman Returns was released in 2006, there were some mixed reactions and it obviously didn’t get a sequel. Personally, I enjoyed it since it felt it paid tribute somewhat to the classic films starring the late-Christopher Reeve. And while some of those movies were popular at the time, I imagine it was a bit tricky to help bring back the franchise in a continuation of that story, particularly since the character and his etymology have been explored several times before […]
