Let's Hope She's Not Too Late: Is 'Justice League' Hiding a Super-Sized Secret?
It seems that for every thing we learn about Justice League, we're unsure about two more things. The latest point of confusion (aside from Henry Cavill's mustache dilemma) stems from the film's SDCC trailer. While Superman's return was pseudo-confirmed in the trailer, we're not too sure who we actually saw. Take a minute (or four) to refresh yourself on the trailer before we continue.

Brace Your Wallet: The Gorgeous 'Justice League' and 'Wonder Woman' Funko POP!S Are Here
As big budget blockbusters continue to dominate the box office, a film's release is becoming more and more of an event. Gone are the days where you could purchase a movie ticket on (and for) opening day, replaced by advance screenings and pre-ordered tickets. How exactly do these movies manage to garner such attention before they even hit theaters?

The Itsy Bitsy Problem: How Will 'Venom' and 'Black Cat' Work Without Spider-Man?
After sharing the rights to Spider-Man with #Marvel in 2015, it looked like Sony would be taking a break from superhero movies. That was great news, and far from unexpected. The sequel to The Amazing Spider-Man buckled under the weight of shared-universe building, becoming the lowest-rated and lowest-grossing Spidey flick. With Peter Parker being introduced to the #MCU, it was assumed that Sony's plan for endless spin-offs and sequels was dead in water.

The First, Easter Egg Filled Trailer for DC's Comedy 'Powerless' Is Here!
A few days ago at the NBC upfronts, a trailer was screened for their upcoming sitcom Powerless. Pitched as an office comedy set in the world of DC Comics, the show claims a broad audience from comic book fans to comedy fans to just TV lovers. Just last week, we got our first look at the show through some official images, but the trailer has finally been released online and the humor lands perfectly, the cast looks great, and the sheer amount of Easter Eggs are guaranteed to make things interesting. So let's do a quick breakdown of the Easter Eggs, shall we?

Doctor Strange Has an Ominous Warning for the Future in the New 'Thor: Ragnarok' Trailer
Warning: Spoilers for Thor: Ragnarok and Avengers: Infinity War follow! After sitting out on the hero vs. hero battles of Captain America: Civil War, the God of Thunder is making a grand return to the big screen this November with #ThorRagnarok. Unlike his last two outings, Thor's bringing some friends to take down the latest threat to Asgard. He'll be joined by Hulk, Loki, and Valkyrie as he takes down Hela and her gang of villains (including, but not limited to, Skurge, Surtur, and Fenrir Wolf). While those may seem like two evenly stacked teams, it's important to remember that Team Thor will be getting some help from the Sorcerer Supreme himself.

Take a Seat, Director Krennic — You Just Answered a Decades-Old 'Episode IV' Mini Mystery
Spoilers for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story follow. Rogue One is the first Star Wars movie of its kind. Largely detached from the Skywalker family, the film was a test to see if audiences were open to spinoffs set in a galaxy far, far away. The box office results prove that fans are indeed receptive to anthology films, even if they mostly feature characters we haven't met yet.

In Only Two Tries, Fox Has Perfected the R-Rated Comic Book Movie
[Note: Spoilers follow for Logan and Deadpool] 20th Century Fox effectively launched the age of modern superhero movies with X-Men in 2000, but by 2014 the franchise had seen it all: ups and downs, prequels, spin-offs, and even a five-year hiatus between core films. The live-action adventures of Marvel's mutants had begun to look tired.

Here's Your First Look at Amber Heard As Mera in 'Justice League' — but How Does It Compare With Previous Costumes?
Back in January, we learned that Amber Heard would play the Queen of Atlantis (and Aquaman's wife), Mera, in next year's Justice League. There hasn't been much news about her role, save for her casting and a short costume description. With Batman v Superman's negative reception steering most DC-related conversation, most people forgot about Heard's involvement in the film.

Your Chance to Get the Joker Batman Comic-Con Exclusive Figure Is Here
Batman and Joker are two of DC's most profitable characters. The former gets a new movie every couple years, and the latter can stir up controversy with eight minutes of screen time. With their abundant popularity and all-ages appeal, it shouldn't come as a surprise that toy companies like to combine the two to create a single, extra popular product. Case in point:
