Batman V Superman may not have been the runaway success DC was hoping for but, bad reviews aside, it's looking like Suicide Squad might just be their best bet yet with fans praising the film left and right, defending it defiantly. The promise of a dysfunctional team of villains working for the good guys in a colourful, violent adventure like no other with a brand new Joker and a live-action Harley Quinn thrown in certainly sounded promising and more fun than Zack Snyder's recent output. The good news is that Suicide Squad is like the anti- Man Of Steel : fast, wacky, cartoonish, playful, it constantly aims to entertain and, very often, it does just that. More good news is the cast mostly works with Margot Robbie clearly having a great time with her portrayal of cosplayer favourite Harley Quinn, Will Smith getting all the best lines and Jai Courtney almost stealing the show in a career-best turn as Captain Boomerang. You can also expect some nifty cameos from certain supe

I talk about DC's latest blockbuster Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice . The spoilers are coming...  

While the new The Flash series have done relatively well, this is a character often dismissed as limited in terms of what powers he has and the fact that most of his villains sound like B-side Batman rogues doesn't help. With animated feature  Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox , we finally get proof that there are excellent Flash stories out there and that the latter most definitely earns his place as part of the iconic superteam. The Flashpoint Paradox opens with Reverse-Flash (voiced by C. Thomas Howell) setting a trap for Barry Allen (voiced by Justin Chambers) involving a whole bunch of rogues, some gooey mud and loads of bombs set to go off and destroy Central City. Luckily, the rest of the Justice League jump in and save the day. Very soon, however, Barry Allen starts to realise that something has changed around him: familiar villains have slightly different names, his mother's alive and a world war is brewing. As it turns out, by saving his mother and changi

The Justice League comes together in this animated feature which sees the likes of Batman, Green Lantern, Superman and Wonder Woman join forces to take down Darkseid and his army of mutants who are planning to invade the Earth using portals. If that sounds familiar it's because this is essentially the plot of the first Avengers movie. Swap Loki for Darkseid and it's basically the same deal except with DC characters. Which isn't a bad way to go, frankly, since it gives us an early glimpse at what the Justice League live-action movie could potentially look like, with added Zack Snyder foggy CGI, of course. The film kicks off with Batman investigating strange abductions in Gotham City as Green Lantern shows up to help and they are soon off to Metropolis to get Superman's take on the alien technology they picked up from one of the Parademons. Following an accident involving an alien box found by The Flash in Central City, a football player is turned into Cyborg and h

Ooh, a bandwagon! *jumps on* Here's a new picture of Ben Affleck as Batman as he will be in Zack Snyder's pre- Justice League cream-a-thon Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice . Those ears still make him look more like Catman but it's admittedly a cool pic.

So that upcoming Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Lex "Jesse Eisenberg" Luthor, everything but the kitchen sink and Aquaman movie finally has a title! Can't believe they actually called it Batman V Superman but the "Dawn Of Justice" subtitle at least makes it very clear that this is in no way Man Of Steel 2. So much for that Superman franchise lol It was good while it lasted. Well...

So the internet exploded yesterday when director Zack Snyder posted pictures showing off not only the brilliant-looking new Batmobile but also Mr Ben Affleck himself in the bat-suit on Twitter. The day before we got but a glimpse of the car I already really want a toy version of: Then we got the car's driver as well: Zack Snyder may not be the best, deepest filmmaker around but his stuff looks damn good. Can't deny that.
