In the wake of today’s earlier announcement that DC Comics’ new streaming service will be titled DC Universe, it was also announced that filming on Metropolis - a series set in the titular city from the Superman comic books - has been delayed. The series had been scheduled for a 2019 release but is now planned to undergo redevelopment. The original plan for Metropolis was that, much like the Syfy series Krypton, it would examine an iconic setting from the classic Superman comics in the days before Superman’s existence....
While the film debut of Deadpool in 2009’s X-Men Origins: Wolverine proved to be far from a success story, Ryan Reynolds never stopped pushing for the creation of a Deadpool solo movie that could possibly redeem the character in the eyes of moviegoers. That film finally arrived in early 2016, shocking the world by turning into one of the biggest critical and commercial hits of the year, and earning a sustained push for an Oscar nomination from many....

Between network, cable, and streaming services, there are plenty of comic book-based television dramas ranging from The CW’s Arrowverse to FOX’s campy Gotham and Netflix’s burgeoning Defenders universe, among many others. However, both Marvel and DC Comics are gearing up for the half-hour comedy treatment on network television, with ABC developing two comedies – including Damage Control, which has already been ordered to pilot – and NBC’s Powerless. NBC ordered Powerless to pilot earlier this year as a half-hour comedy inspired by the world of DC Comics, with the twist being that it would focus on a group of powerless office workers at an insurance agency....
WARNING: This article contains MASSIVE SPOILERS for Batman #21 DC Comics promised that “The Button” would send Batman and The Flash into the mysteries of the DC Rebirth, returning old characters into the fold… and the first issue didn’t disappoint. The action begins in the pages of Batman #21, and continues back and forth through the Dark Knight’s own series and that of The Flash. The central mystery, as mentioned, is the strange power and people responsible for the manipulation of the New 52’s heroes - centering on a certain yellow button tying the DC Universe to the central players in the Watchmen graphic novel....
Deadpool is one of the biggest hits of 2016 so far, and has the potential to be one of the biggest Marvel-based hits based on domestic gross alone. A sequel is already moving forward, featuring the time-traveling mutant Cable and possibly setting up future films such as an R-rated X-Force. James Corden of The Late Late Show on CBS has a few ideas about what Deadpool really needs, however. He recently talked it over with Ryan Reynolds, trying with mixed results to convince him that he could sum up what Deadpool was missing with one word: Sidekick....
DC and Vertigo’s The Kitchen has added even more actors to its cast. The Irish mob drama comic book adaptation has now cast Common and James Badge Dale, among others.

After years of making films only revolving around Wolverine and the main X-Men team up, Fox is finally looking to expand their universe. Logan will be the final Wolverine solo movie starring Hugh Jackman, and potentially the last we see of the character for some time. However, the studio has found a new leading man in Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool. The R-rated comedy has given Fox the ability to test the waters on other properties and see if they can be just as big of hits....
One of the listed special features on the upcoming Blu-ray release of Deadpool 2 hints at the inclusion of classic X-Men villain Omega Red. The character has never appeared in any of the X-Men franchise films thus far, but it seems that he might possibly have a cameo in the extended “Super Duper” cut of Deadpool 2. Omega Red is commonly associated with Wolverine, being one of Logan’s greatest enemies. Despite this, he never appeared in any of the Wolverine solo films....
NOTE: This article contains SPOILERS for Uncanny Avengers #22 - Some might take one look at Deadpool’s horribly scarred, tumorous face and decide it’s one not even his mother could love. But Rogue of the X-Men apparently shouldn’t be included in that group, judging by the budding romance between her and the Merc With a Mouth… not long after she beat him as close to death as he’s been in years....
Paramount is moving forward with World War Z 2 in a big way and have closed with David Fincher to direct the project. World War Z was a troubled film that found success at the worldwide box office.

Seems Dell and Paramount Pictures are offering customers who buy a new Dell PC the chance to have new film, Iron Man, pre-installed on their machine. With unavailable elsewhere ‘bonus footage’ (when will someone come up with bonus footage anyone actually enjoys?) According to the Hollywood Reporter this strategy to offer a film in software format only at a price probably more expensive than it is on DVD in the shops, “is the first step Dell is taking toward setting up a broader digital content storefront that could create significant competition for Apple’s dominant iTunes Store....
A pilot is claiming that Delta stole his app, and is suing the airline for more than a billion dollars. To make things just a touch more awkward, the pilot concerned actually flies for Delta … Bloomberg reports. Alexander denies that a billion dollars is a ridiculous claim, asserting that the airline has saved more than this by using the app. Delta says the claim about how its app came to be developed is “not accurate or fair....
When Apple very quietly announced a new job title for Jony Ive last year, the company presenting it as a promotion didn’t stop speculation about what it might really mean. The fact that he was handing over management responsibilities and spending more time in his native England seemed to suggest that Apple’s design lead might in fact be taking more of a back-seat role. Apple’s publication of a design book that focused on Ive’s designs, ignoring everything that went before, reignited that debate, with some suggesting that he was looking back on his life’s work....
