The DC Universe has been in a state of rapid change since the conclusion of the Dark Nights: Metal event. The Source Wall at the edge of the multiverse is broken, allowing threats to emerge that have continued this cosmic transformation. Justice League Odyssey is a new series taking a group of heroes into the Ghost…

Earlier today, we reported that Henry Cavill was most likely done playing Superman in Warner Bros.’ DC superhero movies, meaning we wouldn’t be seeing him and his CG lip for another Justice League or Man Of Steel movie any time soon. Supposedly, Warner Bros. is choosing to focus on a Supergirl movie instead, but…

2018 has been a shockingly sparse year for DC superhero movie output; Warner Bros. has yet to unleash even a single DCEU entry since 2017's Justice League, and the next film on the companies’ schedules, Aquaman, won’t arrive in theaters until December. Which raises the question: What have all these superpowered…

Sure, it might be the 10th anniversary of superhero movie benchmark The Dark Knight, but the DC movie universe isn’t exactly the place to be these days. That’s the conceit of the star-studded skit from last night’s kickoff of Conan’s annual trip to Comic-Con, anyway, as Conan O’Brien’s Caped Crusader glumly sidles up…

We thought the drama surrounding Henry Cavill’s multi-million dollar mustache ended when the actor shaved the damn thing off earlier this year. Alas, such was not the case. Not only will it haunt any future screenings of Justice League, which will forever find Superman’s upper lip afflicted by uncanny shadows, but it…

Justice League didn’t murder its box office competitors with a precision blast of heat vision, as DC and Warner Bros. surely hoped it would, but everyone who passed on its theatrical run will soon get a chance to see some of the biggest superheroes in the world joining forces—assuming they have an HBO Go or HBO Now…

One of the internet’s most organized, hyper-specific, extremely-online fanbases is that of Zack Snyder and Warner Brothers’ critically reviled DC Extended Universe. While most people have reacted to the recent run of Batman and Superman movies with something between indifference and strong dislike, some very vocal…

Things are not so great over in the DC Extended Universe at the moment. Case in point: Justice League, the superhero team up that was supposed to be the DCEU equivalent of an Avengers film, ended up becoming the worst-performing DCEU film to date. (Admittedly, that’s like saying you wanted a gold-encrusted Ferrari…

DC’s Justice League line is getting a major rehaul after the events of Dark Nights: Metal, and writer Scott Snyder is leading the charge with a new Justice League #1, which introduces a new team and features the return of artist Jim Cheung to DC Comics after years at Marvel. Metal was one of the most exhilarating…

Putting together a dream superhero lineup is a common pastime for fans, and in the pages of Justice League: No Justice, the supervillain Brainiac is getting in on the fun, showing Earth’s heroes that they could be working in more imaginative, efficient configurations. Written by Scot Snyder, James Tynion IV, and…

Every two weeks, Big Issues focuses on a newly released comic book of significance. This week, it is The Mighty Thor #706. Written by Jason Aaron (Avengers, Southern Bastards) with art by Russell Dauterman (Superbia, Cyclops) and colorist Matthew Wilson (The Wicked + The Divine, Paper Girls), this issue concludes…

The behind-the-scenes drama that went into Warner Bros.’ tentpole superhero team-up Justice League this past fall ended up being a far more compelling story than the one that played out in front of the cameras. Anyone who was paying attention to the ongoing shakeups, studio meddling, and eventual overhaul of the…

The Justice League movie was disappointing to a lot of people, either because it simply wasn’t that great or because Joss Whedon and Warner Bros. were involved in a ridiculous conspiracy to undermine the work of true visionary like Zack Snyder, but it turns out that Justice League may have been especially…

Last year’s superhero team-up blockbuster Justice League was a claustrophobic mess of bad effects, boring urban and industrial locations, and awkward, cramped staging. It was also the third most expensive movie ever made, budgeted at a cool $300 million. (That’s not counting marketing costs, which were likely around…

DC’s Justice League books are the best they’ve been in years right now, largely by shifting focus to the character dynamics within superhero teams. Christopher Priest and Pete Woods’ Justice League is off to a riveting start, and Steve Orlando’s Justice League Of America is at its best when it shows how different…

Everyone makes mistakes. But when you’re a superhero, mistakes can have huge consequences. The Justice League is currently dealing with the fallout of a recent mission that flew off the rails when police interference resulted in the death of a nun. And when video of the incident is leaked to the world, the team finds…

Justice League was a fine movie, but its relatively mediocre take at the box office most likely wasn’t what Warner Bros. was hoping for when it began to develop its DC cinematic universe. Now, in a move that diehard fans will probably find a way to blame on some ridiculous conspiracy, Warner Bros. is reportedly…

Alex McLevy: Justice League has been out for a couple of weeks now, and to say opinions are mixed would be gentle. Some people love it, some hate it, but most, like we here at The A.V. Club, just think, “Meh.” To be fair, the film had an uphill battle. Its primary architect had to withdraw well before it was done, due…
