Director Zack Snyder’s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice will be the second major comic book movie adaptation to hit theaters in 2016 (following after Tim Miller’s Deadpool), but it’s very much the first ’event’ superhero film of the year. The project may have started out as a straight-forward sequel to Sndyer’s Superman franchise re-launch Man of Steel, but it’s since evolved into a gateway drug to a pair of Justice League films, as well as additional solo feature films for DC’s finest alike....

Superheroes have been a staple in our society for nearly a century. A significant reason for the MCU’s success as the highest-grossing movie franchise of all time has to do with how well Marvel Studios have incorporated certain iconic elements from the comic books to the silver screen. This is particularly true with how each character looks in live-action, with a specific focus on the costume. Nothing is more pleasing for a long-time fan than seeing a comic book character come to life on screen while maintaining his or her original look....

Batman’s had many Robin’s fight by his side, but none of them can compete with Dick Grayson. The first Boy Wonder has always impressed fans with his acrobatic skills and quick wit. The original Robin will be joining the DCEU, but not as a sidekick. He’ll be appearing as Nightwing, and fans can’t stop speculating about who will be chosen to portray him on the big screen. Since stepping away from Batman’s shadow, Dick has faced many foes and has hooked up with many iconic DC characters, from Harley Quinn to Batgirl....

Now that Ben Affleck is out as Batman, and the next version of Bruce Wayne is being created for director Matt Reeves’ The Batman, it’s time to discuss the real challenge: the invention of a brand new Batsuit. It’s the most hotly debated aspect of any Batman movie reboot, TV show, or even comic book relaunch. And over the years, the results have ranged from Michael Keaton’s legendary rubber armor, to Armie Hammer’s better-left-behind Justice League: Mortal Batsuit....

In just over a month, two iconic titans of the superhero world are set to square off. Each day brings new, trailers, posters, and pieces of the overall superhero jigsaw that will be Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice. And for a film this vast, which brings together numerous aspects of the rapidly expanding DC Multiverse, it requires expansive sets, CGI animation, and highly accurate props - all of which, in turn, require exacting specifications to meet the needs of fans and general audiences alike....

Old Steve Rogers’ shield in Avengers: Endgame appears to be a plot hole, since the shield was destroyed by Thanos and he didn’t receive a new one - at least on-screen. Avengers: Endgame never explains how Captain America (Chris Evans) had the shield repaired prior to handing it off to Falcon (Anthony Mackie) at the end of the movie. In the final battle of Avengers: Endgame, Cap has an epic showdown with Thanos....

Celebrating the digital and home release of Avengers: Endgame, VFX Supervisor Dan DeLeeuw took the opportunity to speak to Screen Rant about his role in making Marvel’s biggest blockbuster.

DeLeeuw has been working with Marvel Studios since 2013’s Iron Man 3, and he headed up a number of large-scale projects, including Captain America: Civil War and Avengers: Infinity War....

Stephen McFeely and Christopher Markus - the screenwriters on the upcoming Avengers: Infinity War - are deadly serious when they say that their script for the movie has the potential to win next year’s Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay. This declaration was made in spite of The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences’ notorious bias against comic book movies. With a rare few exceptions, the Academy has been slow to honor works of science fiction and fantasy that redefine what motion pictures are capable of outside of the technical categories....

Barron has profiled the world’s greatest CEOs, thirty of them to be precise, and found out what their perks at Fortune have known all along, that Steve Jobs is the world’s greatest corporate leader.

Fans of the Batman Beyond universe have finally had a great mystery solved in heartwarming fashion, now that the comic books have revealed Alfred Pennyworth still has a role to play in the elderly Bruce Wayne’s life. At least, that sure seems to be the case in the first pages of Batman Beyond #31 releasing this week. Until now, Bruce had no Alfred to rely upon in the far off future of Neo-Gotham, instead shifting to the mentor/Guardian role to his replacement, Terry McGinnis....

The villains in Batman movies usually die - and badly - but here’s the worst death of them all. Since Tim Burton’s 1989 blockbuster, Batman has starred in seven solo films with the eighth - Matt Reeves’ The Batman starring Robert Pattinson as the Dark Knight - arriving in 2021. Not only has Batman been rebooted multiple times with different directors behind the camera and different actors donning the cowl, but he has also faced every major villain in his rogue’s gallery, and most of them have perished onscreen....

The BBC had hoped to turn its Adobe AIR application into a standard for UK broadcasters, offering them an alternative, non-US-owned way to bring their UK content to viewers online. The BBC had proposed that ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5 should have access to iPlayer to enable them to compete with other TV companies when the UK switches over to digital TV in 2012. The Trust said it “supported the principle of sharing the iPlayer more widely” but said the plans would not deliver value to licence-fee payers....

Avengers: Endgame could’ve included the original 2014 Nebula with hair based on new concept art for the film. Introduced as a side-villain to the Marvel Cinematic Universe in 2014’s Guardians of the Galaxy, Karen Gillan has since seen her role as Nebula expand. She became an unlikely hero in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, but was a fully-fledged hero by the time Avengers: Endgame reached its conclusion. However, this heroic version of Nebula is not the only one who was included in the 22nd MCU movie....

Official tie-in merchandise for Avengers: Endgame may reveal Iron Man’s new weapon.

Hot Toys has given the first look at the most detailed, life-like version of Baby Groot yet. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 brings back all of the same characters that helped make the original such a massive success.
