One of the shows we’re most looking forward to on Apple TV+ is the upcoming “Monarch: Legacy of Monsters.” Built in the modern Legendary Pictures’ “Godzilla” and “King Kong” universe, this series aims to show more of the mysterious Monarch organization. We know that Kurt and Wyatt Russell will be playing the same character, Army Officer Lee Shaw, in different phases of his life. Chris Black (“Star Trek: Enterprise“) and Matt Fraction (“Hawkeye“) co-developed the series. Matt Shakman (“Wandavision“) directs the first two episodes. Anna Sawai, Kiersey Clemons, Ren Watabe, Mari Yamamoto, Anders Holm, Joe Tippett, and Elisa Lasowski also star.  Following the thunderous battle between Godzilla and the…

Another day, another slew of headlines from ‘outlets’ that make zero sense. DC Studios co-head James Gunn seems to be a constant source of ire, no matter what he does. Certain websites made claims over the weekend that Gunn’s deactivated Facebook account was due to “controversial comments made about Batman.”No really- that’s what some places are claiming. Leave it to Gunn himself to clear things up. We now return you to your regularly scheduled Labor Day.

Hi Barbie!No matter where you turn, a collection of Barbies (and Kens!) is everywhere at Dragon Con 2023. We were kind of expecting this, considering how well received the billion-dollar film has been. The annual convention which takes place over Labor Day in Atlanta, Georgia is often THE place to see the most creative cosplays around. This year was no different!But we’re here to talk Barbie. Large group photoshoots are one of the big draws, and the Barbieland gathering was pretty impressive. In this video from our own Bill Watters, you can see just how popular pink cosplay is this…

It’s been a tick since we’ve heard anything about…well…anything. With the ongoing WGA, SAG-AFTRA strike against the AMPTP, things have been markedly quiet round ol’ Tinseltown. There are in fact several projects that are in some level of development, but for the most part, big studio releases are dark. Which is why this update about Chad Stahelski’s “Highlander” film has us pretty excited. That, and we kind of freaking love “Highlander.” We know Henry Cavill will star in the flick, but what hasn’t been known for sure is what the plot will be. A straight remake of the Christopher Lambert,…

We are very sorry to share the news that Arleen Sorkin, actress who inspired and voiced “Batman: The Animated Series” fan-favorite character Harley Quinn, has reportedly passed away.This news was posted by voice actor Neil Kaplan, who says the sad news was confirmed by a source who’d rather remain anonymous. Sorkin’s performance on an episode of “Days of Our Lives” is actually what inspired Paul Dini (and Bruce Timm) to create the Harley Quinn character. Watching the scene in question leaves little doubt as to Sorkin’s presence and jester abilities. The 22nd episode, “Joker’s Favor,” marked Harley’s debut in “Batman:…
