Mary Anne Butler (Mab) has been part of the fast-paced world of journalism since she was 15, getting her start in album reviews and live concert coverage for a nationally published (print) music magazine. She eventually transitioned to online media, writing for such sites as UGO/IGN, ComicsOnline, Geek Magazine, Ace of Geeks, Aggressive Comix (where she is still Editor-in-Chief), Bleeding Cool (where she was News Editor), and now Nerdbot as Editor-In-Chief. Over the past 10 years, she’s built a reputation at conventions across the globe as a cosplayer (occasionally), photographer (constantly), panelist and moderator (mostly), and reporter (always). Interviews, reviews, observations, breaking news, and objective reporting are the name of the game for the founder of Harkonnen Knife Fight, a Dune-themed band with an international presence. Though she be but little, she is fierce.

Today during Warner Bros. Pictures Hall of Heroes Fandome experience, we were treated to numerous trailers, first look images, and long-awaited confirmations of things we’ve been itching to know. One of the most anticipated things was the Snyder Cut trailer for HBO Max’s exclusive “Justice League” director’s cut which will hit the streaming service sometime in 2021.

We’re not even halfway through Warner Bros. DC FanDome event, and today it was all about the Hall of Heroes. This included the release of a brand new “Wonder Woman 1984” trailer, Neil Gaiman updating on “Sandman,” and what exactly is happening with the Ezra Miller-starring “The Flash” solo film.
