'Joker' Trailer: Joaquin Phoenix Is The Weird Guy On The Bus


One element fans often cite about what makes the Joker such a compelling character is that, for the most part, he lacks an origin story. Sure, there have been a few attempts to craft a history, but by and large, he lacks context and motivation and formative experiences. What we see is what we get, just his actions, often without obvious logic or reason. That’s going to change somewhat in Todd Phillips’ upcoming Joker, which stars a very committed Joaquin Phoenix in a standalone tale of the Clown Prince of Crime’s beginnings. Set to debut on the fall festival circuit soon, check out the final trailer below.

'Wonder Woman' (2017) Movie Review



Here’s the bad news: Wonder Woman is a flawed superhero origin story. Now that we have that out of the way, the good news is that it’s mostly awesome, finally brings one of the greatest comic book characters ever to the big screen after more than 75 years, breaks up just a little bit of the boys’ club that is contemporary superhero movies, and is easily the best thing the DC Extended Universe has produced thus far.

Here's Your First Look At The 'Batman: The Killing Joke' Animated Movie


Along with Frank Miller’s work on comics like Batman: Year One and The Dark Knight Returns, Alan Moore and Brian Bolland’s Batman: The Killing Joke is perhaps the most influential story on the Caped Crusader’s modern iteration—it helped define the character as we currently know him. The 1988 one-off graphic novel is dark and disturbing and the ramifications are still felt today. There has been talk of adapting it before, but an animated version is on the way, and now we have our first look in the form of a teaser and new featurette. Start getting psyched.

'Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice' Clip Is Dour And Grim, Surprise


I hope you’re ready for every movie ever to either involve dudes in tight who can fly, or punch through walls or whatever, or Star Wars, because that’s about everything that will be filling your local metroplex for the foreseeable future. Marvel and Star Wars are already in the running to be the biggest things ever, and DC is about to get in on the act, too, starting with Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Though the movie doesn’t drop until March, we got a look at a fresh new clip.

Here's Your First Look At 'Suicide Squad,' It's Awesome


Comic-Con is the gift that keeps on giving. We saw the new Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice trailer, that Star Wars: The Force Awakens reel, and Deadpool footage, all of which looks rad. (The X-Men: Apocalypse stuff hasn’t been unveiled online just yet, but we’re waiting.) But now the first look at David Ayer’s Suicide Squad just hit the web, and it is fucking awesome.

Check Out The New 'Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice' Trailer


As a director, Zack Snyder is hit and miss for me, but the more we see and hear, the more intrigued I am about his upcoming superhero dual Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. At San Diego Comic-Con this weekend, Warner Bros. dropped a shiny new trailer, and I have to admit, it looks pretty badass.

'Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice' Trailer Shows The Man Of Steel Take A Heel Turn


This wasn’t supposed to drop until Monday, but in the wake of a shitty cell phone video version that hit the other day, Warner Bros. decided to officially release an HD version of the first teaser trailer for Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Check it out below, it’s a damn good time.
