Seth McFarlane’s Star Trek Spoof The Orville Looks Like a Ton of Fun

Fox’s new scifi sitcom The Orville wowed us in its first look, mainly because it managed to come off as both a loving homage to the campiest aspects of classic Star Trek while also being genuinely funny. The new Comic-Con trailer is much the same—reminding us that exploring the strange new frontiers can be a…

Turns Out the Krypton TV Series Is Way, Way Stranger Than You Were Expecting

When Syfy’s Superman prequel show Krypton was first announced, everyone thought it was going to be a basic trip back into the past of Superman’s origin story before his homeworld went kablammo. It’s still that, of course but its Comic-Con panel just revealed that how we get to Jor-El shooting a baby into outer space…

A Brief History of What Happened Between Blade Runner and Blade Runner 2049

Before the cast of Blade Runner 2049 hit Hall H at Comic-Con, a graphic was shown that ran down what the hell happened in the world between the 2019 of Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner and Denis Villenuve’s sequel, set 30 years later. A lot has changed—and it wasn’t for the better. 2019: Blade Runner Rick…

The Once Upon a Time Semi-Reboot Hasn’t Even Started Yet and It’s Already Got a Plot Hole

ABC’s Once Upon a Time is in a state of flux. Most of the cast left the show after the end of season six, leaving just a few stars and newcomers to try and steer the ship in the right direction. Sadly, it didn’t take long for Captain Hook himself to point out a hole…

Here’s What Happened in the New Aquaman Footage That WB Isn’t Releasing

Since James Wan is still filming Aquaman, it won’t be out for well over a year. Happily Wan sent Jason Momoa from Australia, where the movie is being filmed, to Comic-Con to show fans a little something from the film—but only the few thousand fans who made into the Warner Bros. panel. But that’s not…

Ben Affleck Says He Loves Playing Batman But Doesn’t Get Around to Denying the Rumors He’s Leaving

During Warner Brother’s presentation of its upcoming DC superhero movies, Ben Affleck addressed the new rumors that he’ll soon by leaving the DC Expanded Universe.

The New Justice League Trailer Is All Kinds of Epic

The DC Universe was in full effect in Hall H at San Diego Comic-Con with the highlight being brand new footage from Justice League. It was very heavy on Steppenwolf, the villain of the film, and ended on a very intriguing tease. Check it out. Justice League opens November 17.

Holy Shit, The Flash Movie Will Adapt Flashpoint

We’ve not heard a lot about Warner Bros.’ Flash movie lately—especially as it still doesn’t have a director. But moments ago at Comic-Con, we just got seeming confirmation that the movie is going in a new direction by adapting the infamous Flashpoint storyline. Geoff John’s 2011 set the groundwork for what would become DC’s complete…

Blade Runner 2049 Director Says Harrison Ford and Ridley Scott Are Still Arguing About What Deckard Is

Depending on what version of Blade Runner you’ve seen or preferred, it’s possible to make strong arguments that main character Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford) is a human or an artificially created Replicant himself. It’s a question fans have debated since the movie came out in 1982—and it’s a debate the star and director are still…

Ready Player One First Footage is a Spectacular Cornucopia of Pop Culture References

Steven Spielberg came to San Diego Comic-Con Saturday to reveal the first footage from Ready Player One, the film adaptation of Ernie Cline’s scifi, nostalgia filled book. And the footage delivered big, sweeping, pop culture fun. One of the biggest questions surrounding the movie is the look of the Oasis and the trailer shows that…

Iron Fist Is Getting a New Showrunner and That’s Probably for the Best

Of the many villains that Danny Rand faced in Netflix’s Iron Fist, a case could be there was none greater than Scott Buck, the series’ showrunner, who gave the series an unlikable Danny Rand, too many boring Rand Corporation board meetings, and a dearth of fight scenes that actually look cool. But it’s just been…

The New Justice League Poster Is Basically an Alex Ross Painting in Real Life

Look, I’m just saying. This new Justice League poster is either the movie’s loving tribute to the heroic art of Alex Ross, or Batman somehow convinced his teammates to do their own cover of Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody.” Either way, it makes for a damn good image. Ahead of Warner Bros.’ big panel at Comic-Con later…

How The Gifted Connects to the X-Men Movies While Dodging Their Convoluted Timeline

Fox’s first X-Men movie paved the way for the current age of comic book movies that we’re living in. But after 17 years, 10 different movies, one soft, but significant reboot, and a high-concept television show, the live-action X-Men universe has gotten… complicated. But The Gifted executive producer Matt Nix has a clever answer to…

Batman’s Newest Protege Is Getting the Solo Series He Deserves

The series of events that led to Duke Thomas becoming a masked vigilante were shaped by tragedy and pain, but like most of Bruce Wayne’s young proteges, the traumas of his past are what drives him to patrol Gotham’s dangerous streets. Following the events of We Are Robin, Duke gave up being Robin to stand…

DuckTales Had Everything That Makes Comic-Con Worth Going To

Between David Tennant, Community’s Danny Pudi, the hope of new footage, and the immense amount of nostalgia has for the beloved Disney cartoon, the DuckTales panel at San Diego Comic-Con was packed. And boy, did Disney XD make it worth their while. It wasn’t just that a bunch of concept art was “accidentally” shown—featuring Gizmoduck,…

Gotham by Gaslight, Suicide Squad, and Death and Return of Superman Are DC’s Next Animated Movies

Thursday’s DC Animated Universe panel at San Diego Comic-Con was a fairly subdued affair. But apparently DC and Warner Bros. saved all their big surprises for last night’s premiere of Batman and Harley Quinn—because now we know that not one, not two, not three, but four more major DC animated movies are on the way. After…
