That is literally the best news that could possibly have come out about this flick. Ostrander's Suicide Squad is easily the best version, in terms of considerations of the team's morality, complexity of characterization, and a clear vision for what the Suicide Squad is and more importantly is...

It would be perfectly James Gunn to have Peacemaker, a mentally unstable (like "Hallucinates his dead father is his co-pilot regularly") anti-terrorist nut, be the replacement for Rick Flagg as the Suicide Squad's field commander and leaving Deadshot as the somehow more reasonable figure on the...

I actually rather like the idea that Batman just up and disappeared one day (right around the time Ra's al Ghul died, come to think) and now Gotham City has become even worse than usual as a result. We've never really seen a post-Batman Gotham City where Bruce Wayne wasn't the guy to fix it...

So when Young Justice: Outsiders started up, I saw some well-meaning Redditor express concern that the show was using teen hero characters at an unsustainable rate. The good news is that it's not: with the exception of Icon & Rocket, every heroic legacy that's produced members of the team so far...

With the apparent coming of the Suicide Squad and the implication that forces outside the super-heroic community are taking notice of the shadow war going on between The Light and The League, I wonder if Cheshire (a known terrorist-for-hire and former foot soldier of The Light) will be the fall...

I mean, Geoff Johns should be pretty fond of the character (he wrote him for over 60 issues, after all) and he's the showrunner...I could see Kid Flash being modified into Jay Garrick's successor if Stargirl were to use him. My money's still on Mike Dugan, but it's not like it would be wholly...

I was talking to one of my bosses at the comic shop about Smallville and something occurred to me: about nine years ago, Geoff Johns wrote the 1st live action appearance of the Justice Society in the two-part episode turned TV movie Absolute Justice. It introduced Stargirl as the somewhat...

And I'd guess her step-brother as well. Not that they kept Stripesy a redhead, but still.

I sincerely hope they keep Krypto & Bat-Hound maintaining dual identities. That's a piece of Silver Age lore that deserves to be included in every adaptation, reboot, and return of the characters.

I was briefly confused as to why Mallah would be on the Suicide Squad when he has no history with the comic book version of the team...until I recalled he's been languishing in prison for the last two years while the criminal conspiracy he was a high ranking member of has moved on without him...

I was just talking to a buddy about that yesterday: Warner Bros. is working on their own streaming service. If DC Universe were to go belly-up, it would make sense for its parent company to absorb all its content into its more general offering. A general WarnerMedia streaming service has more...

It just occurred to me the William Shatner-expy is Paul Sloane. In the comics, Paul Sloane briefly became the third Two-Face. Who (relatively) recently voiced Two-Face in a most notable fashion? I genuinely can't tell if that's an intentional layered in-joke or just a happy coincidence, but...

Doom Patrol Go was the funniest thing I've seen in any DC media to date. I'm also interested to see how Beast Boy's apparent decision to get back in the hero game in a world where the Justice League is increasingly sidelined and he's in a serious relationship with a head of state will play out...

Possibly, but that is the standard League of Shadows uniform, so who knows? I too visit the Young Justice subreddit. I don't put much stock in such a hypothesis, unless she's a short cameo like Stephanie Brown or Cissie King-Jones were back in the day. He looks like he could be a black dude...

I personally enjoy the show's approach to the DC Universe, because the addition of new characters never feels like a retcon because it is very well established that there's a big world out there and stuff keeps happening to characters whether or not they are on screen. Compare to the DCAU: By...
