description: Jason Momoa will also appear in the second film in James Gunn's DC relaunch. (WARNING: SPOILERS FOR SUPERMAN)
encoded: James Gunn's shiny new DC Universe will soon be expanding with the addition of Milly Alcock's Supergirl, which is set to swoop into cinemas this summer. The character made a brief cameo appearance in Gunn's own Superman reboot last year, where we learnt that she likes to spend her time getting drunk on other planets. Kara was also revealed as the real owner of Krypto the Super Dog, the badly behaved pet that her cousin had reluctantly looked after during her latest trip across the universe. And now, DC Studios has released a trailer for the movie, giving fans a first look at the character in action (scroll down for more on this). We were also previously treated to a teaser poster, which playfully defaces the artwork and tagline of Gunn's Superman (see below). View oEmbed on the source website Read on for everything we know so far about DC Studios' forthcoming Supergirl reboot, including its confirmed release date and further casting information. Supergirl release date Supergirl will be released in cinemas on Friday 26th June 2026. The project will be the second theatrically released feature film from the reorganised DC Studios, which now has Guardians of the Galaxy and The Suicide Squad mastermind James Gunn as its co-CEO. It follows this summer's Superman, which opened to strong reviews and solid box office in July, featuring a short cameo appearance from Alcock's Supergirl in the closing minutes – thus setting the stage for this next chapter. Supergirl was originally announced with the subtitle Woman of Tomorrow, but Gunn revealed to Rolling Stone in June 2025 that the title had been simplified, mirroring his dropping of 'Legacy' from the title of his Superman reboot. "I'm always cutting," he summed up. View oEmbed on the source website On giving the green light, Gunn told Brazilian pop culture website Omelete.com: "I didn't necessarily know that Supergirl would be the second movie we were going to make, but Ana [Nogueira] wrote an incredible script, and then we h…

description: John Cena's abysmal antihero is back in action at last.
encoded: Following a brief cameo in this summer's Superman reboot, John Cena's Peacemaker is back to dominating the screen again in Peacemaker season 2, which is coming to the UK and US in August. The series initially span out of Gunn's 2021 blockbuster The Suicide Squad, honing in on Cena's standout character by dropping him in a bizarre conspiracy filled with even more outrageous personalities. That was more than three years ago, during which time Peacemaker has weathered a major DC Universe restructuring and broader industry disruption, but appears to have come out of the other side stronger than ever. Expect more jaw-dropping humour and sci-fi infused mayhem as we return to the world of Christopher Smith and his ARGUS handlers. Here's everything you need to know about Peacemaker season 2. Peacemaker season 2 release date Peacemaker season 2 will premiere on Thursday 21st August 2025 on HBO Max in the US and arrive the following day on Sky Max here in the UK. News of a synchronised global rollout should be welcomed by fans, who were burned by a two-month delay between the first season's US and UK releases, which made it rather difficult to avoid spoilers. Creator James Gunn promised RadioTimes.com at the time that the issue would be corrected for season 2, and despite the long gap between episodes, he's stayed true to his word on that. Peacemaker's return comes more than three-and-a-half years since the original run, with factors towards the long hiatus including Gunn's work on Guardians Vol. 3, Superman and Creature Commandos as well as Hollywood's sweeping 2023 strikes. Filming on the episodes finally began in April 2024, but the series was held until after Superman's release in order to incorporate Gunn's rebooted DC Universe continuity into its plot. Peacemaker season 2 cast: New and returning Peacemaker's season 2 cast is once again led by John Cena in the title role, with Danielle Brooks (Adebayo), Freddie Stroma (Vigilante), Jennifer Holland (Harcourt) and Steve Ag…

description: David Corenswet and Rachel Brosnahan lead the line-up.
encoded: There is a long list of actors who have played Superman over the years – with Christopher Reeve and Henry Cavill the most prominent two – and now David Corenswet has added his name to that list in James Gunn's new take on the iconic DC superhero. He's one of many stars drafted in for this first film in the new DC Universe, with Superman regulars Lex Luthor and Lois Lane played respectively by Nicholas Hoult and Rachel Brosnahan and a whole host of other supporting characters brought to the screen too. One piece of casting that had been kept secret until just before the release of the film was the identity of Superman's Kryptonian father Jor-El, who appears in a brief but vitally important recorded message during the film. As Gunn himself confirmed in an interview with Jake’s Takes shortly prior to release day, his former Guardians of the Galaxy collaborator Bradley Cooper took on the role as "a favour" to him. The director explained: "He’s a friend. We’ve stayed in close contact since the Guardians movies, and I admire him greatly as an actor and as a director." That's just one of a number of cameos in the film – a brief appearance for Milly Alcock's Supergirl being another notable one – alongside more substantial roles for DC characters such as Mister Terrific (Edi Gathegi), Hawkgirl (Isabela Merced) and Guy Gardner's Green Lantern (Nathan Fillion), who have the potential to make a major breakthrough with mainstream movie-goers. If you're excited to meet them, and many others, read on for everything you need to know about the Superman cast.

encoded: This summer has already given us a fair few blockbusters – from Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning to Jurassic World Rebirth – but the one that many cinemagoers have been waiting for is James Gunn's new take on Superman. Ever since the Guardians of the Galaxy director was announced as the creative lead of the new DC Universe, fans have been very intrigued to see what he cooks up – and based on early reviews, it looks like they could be in for a treat. With more than 150 reviews on Rotten Tomatoes, the film currently sits on a score of 86 per cent, although it's worth noting that our own 3-star RadioTimes.com review was a little more mixed. Still, there's not long to go before you can head to cinemas and form you're on view on the film – which is intended to kickstart a whole new extended universe that shifts things away from the often maligned version served up by Zack Snyder and co. Of course, the longevity of this rebooted universe will rest heavily on this film's success, but we can expect at least one more big-screen outing in the form of Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, which is already in production. David Corenswet (Twisters) plays the Kryptonian hero and his civilian alter-ego Clark Kent this time around, with a recent pair of posters showing his transformation between the two distinct identities. Suffice to say, we're not sure how nobody recognises him either.

Superman release date Superman flies into cinemas on Friday 11th July 2025, meaning there's only a matter of days left until we usher in a new dawn for DC Comics on the big screen. Technically, this is the second entry in Gunn's rebooted DC Universe (following animated series Creature Commandos), but the stakes remain high as this fledgling franchise tries to find its feet.

description: The Caped Crusader returns... eventually.
encoded: *Warning: Spoilers for The Batman ahead* Among all the excitement about the beginning of James Gunn's rebooted DC Universe this year, question marks have remained over some of the studio's existing films – perhaps none more so than The Batman II. The film – which will be the second to star Robert Pattinson as The Caped Crusader following The Batman in 2022 – exists separately to Gunn's new franchise, although there have been some suggestions (no more than rumours at this stage) that it could later be folded into the DCU. Fans have already been waiting a while for the second chapter in the saga, and although there's still a fair bit longer to go, we were given some good news at the start of 2025 that filming was set to commence later in the year. Speaking to Deadline at the Golden Globes, writer and director Matt Reeves said: "I can tell you that we’ll be shooting this year" while the trade publication also revealed that they'd heard a summer start date was planned, keeping things on track for the already delayed 2027 release. The sequel is set to be a star-studded event, with Reeves revealing that it will feature Colin Farrell's Penguin – who was most recently seen in his own critically acclaimed spin-off series The Penguin – as well as Andy Serkis as Alfred and Jeffrey Wright as Jim Gordon. Interestingly, Pattinson's Batman did not appear in The Penguin, with Reeves recently explaining to Digital Spy: "[Batman’s] out there trying to grapple with the aftermath of everything that happened, which to some degree he blames himself for." Reeves also said that fans can expect the film to "dig into the epic story about deeper corruption, and it goes into places that he couldn’t anticipate in the first one. The seeds of where this goes are all in the first movie. It expands in a way that will show you aspects of the character you never got to see". Fans are also expecting Barry Keoghan's Joker to make an appearance, following his cameo in the first film, but Keoghan himself…

encoded: More raucous antics await in the fifth season of Harley Quinn, which sees the unpredictable villain-turned-antihero turn her attention to a new city: Metropolis. That's right, the home of Superman is about to get a lot more dangerous, with Harley (Kaley Cuoco), Poison Ivy (Lake Bell) and their assortment of villainous friends descending on the so-called Big Apricot. Harley Quinn is separate from DC's all-new shared cinematic universe, masterminded by James Gunn, which formally kicked off with The Suicide Squad successor Creature Commandos over the summer. Alas, UK-based fans are still waiting for that animated Max series to arrive – and the same is true of Harley Quinn season 5, which is yet to secure a confirmed premiere date on this side of the pond. However, the rollout in the US is looking much clearer, so read on for more on the Harley Quinn season 5 release schedule on stateside streaming service Max. Harley Quinn season 5: When are new episodes out? Harley Quinn season 5 episodes will be released on Thursdays at 12am PT/3am ET on Max, starting from Thursday 16th January 2025 and ending with the season finale on 20th March. The season is expected to drop one episode per week, in line with earlier runs. The previous four seasons were broadcast on UK channel E4 and temporarily made available to stream on Channel 4, but it is not yet clear whether the network has chosen to retain the DC series for its fifth run.

Starring David Corenswet as the titular character, the trailer sees the iconic superhero crash-landing in a very snowy landscape and spitting up blood, interspersed with shots of him entering The Daily Planet offices as his alias Clark Kent. We also get our first looks at the likes of of Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, in addition to all sorts of explosive action including collapsing buildings and fire-breathing creatures.

Little is known about what will take place in Superman, but according to DC's X page, the film will "focus on Superman balancing his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing". However, since then, Gunn and Safran have revealed some additional details on the film together, with Safran saying: "[This] is really the launch of the DCU. The first two projects are an amuse-bouche for what’s coming up with Superman: Legacy. "James is currently writing it. We’re hoping that he will direct it. It’s not an origin story. It focuses on Superman balancing his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing. "Superman represents truth, justice and the American way. He is kindness in a world that thinks of kindness as old-fashioned." While Gunn added: "With our stories, we want to take it away from good guy vs bad guy. There are really good – almost saintly – people, and Superman is among them. There are really terrible villains like Gorilla Grodd or the Joker. "And then there’s everybody in between them, so there are all these shades of grey which allow us to tell complex stories." Arriving in cinemas on 11th July 2025, there is less than a year to go before a new Man of Steel makes his way to the silver screen! Superman will be release…

description: There's plenty of superhero action to be found in the DC Universe – here's the best way to experience it.
encoded: Even if you're a fan, you'd be forgiven for being somewhat confused by the current state of DC films. After launching its rival to the Marvel Cinematic Universe a decade ago with the Man of Steel, the comics publisher is conducting a soft reboot of the entire DC Universe, starting with Creature Commandos. The plan is now for Guardians of the Galaxy helmer James Gunn to spearhead a new franchise under the simplified name The DC Universe, which will include films like Superman: Legacy in 2025 which will introduce David Corenswet's new interpretation of the iconic hero from Krypton. While the DC Extended Universe is at its end, some of the faces we know from it could still have a part to play. Things are muddied all the more by the existence of two completely separate strands based on some of DC's most iconic characters, with neither Matt Reeves's The Batman flicks nor Todd Phillips's Joker pictures considered to be part of either the DCEU or DC Universe. The DCEU chapter might now have been closed, but if you still want to watch any of the films from this somewhat turbulent 10-year period – or start afresh with the DCU, we have you covered. Read on for everything you need to know. How to watch DCU movies and series in release order The new DCU has only just kicked off, with Gunn's passion project, Creature Commandos. The rest of the films and series are still upcoming - but we do know some of what the slate has to offer. The first chapter of the DCU will be titled Gods and Monsters. 1. Creature Commandos (2024) Creature Commandos which has a similar set-up to Suicide Squad, follows the father of Rick Flag, who was played by Joel Kinnaman, as he leads a rag-tag group of prisoners including the likes of Eric Frankenstein and Weasel. Frank Grillo's take on Rick Flag Sr will show up in future projects including Superman and Peacemaker season 2. 2. Superman (2025) Heralding David Coronswet as the new Man of Steel, Superman will be considered the true beginning of the DCU. …

description: John Cena's edgy antihero will return next year.
encoded: DC fans finally know when to expect the second season of James Gunn's Peacemaker – but be warned, there's still a while longer to wait. The series span out of 2021's The Suicide Squad, following John Cena's gun-toting mercenary, who is prepared to declare war on just about anyone or anything in order to get to his definition of "peace". The first season premiered back in January 2022, earning a generally positive reaction from critics for its zany comedy and ensemble cast, with season 2 now confirmed to be coming to US streamer Max in August 2025. Since the initial episodes launched, Gunn has risen to the position of DC Studios co-CEO (alongside Peter Safran), and is currently overseeing a reboot of the ailing comic book franchise, with Cena's Peacemaker surviving the resulting cull. View Affiliate Playlist on the source website The writer-director previously revealed that Peacemaker season 2 will take place after the events of next summer's Superman, starring David Corenswet, while he has also confirmed a character who will appear across both projects. Gunn has tapped Frank Grillo to play Rick Flag Sr, the father of Joel Kinnaman's Suicide Squad role, in the upcoming film and streaming show, with the character set to debut in next month's DC animated series Creature Commandos. On the role, Gunn explained (via EW): "We get to see this character from different angles, and he is not simple. This isn’t just a good guy, not at all. We see all different sides of his character. He is morally a complex human being. "Grillo is somebody who I’ve known for a little while, and I’ve wanted to work with him for a long time. He was one of the first people that I talked to when I took over the studio, like, 'We’re going to find something cool for you,' and now he is everywhere." Grillo previously appeared in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Captain America villain Crossbones, who menaced Chris Evans's hero in both The Winter Soldier and Civil War.

description: Breaking down that explosive finale.
encoded: Warning: Major spoilers ahead for The Penguin episode 8. In an explosive final episode, The Penguin has given us a showdown for the ages, with Oz Cobb (Colin Farrell) finally triumphing against Sofia Falcone (Cristin Milioti) in episode 8 of the spin-off - but at what cost? Following a disturbing episode 7, which revealed that Oz actually killed his brothers as a child, the finale episode pulls more shocks, surprises and twists out of the bag, also setting up The Batman: Part 2. Most of all, fans have been absolutely crushed by the death of Vic Aguilar (Rhenzy Feliz), with Oz murdering his only friend in the final scenes of the show. In a press conference following the finale, Farrell admitted he was "crushed" by the scene, with showrunner Lauren LeFranc explaining the decision further. So, as we await any news on a potential season 2, here's exactly what went down. The Penguin ending explained: Why does Oz kill Vic? Let's cut to the chase. The finale episode sees Oz brutally kill Vic, as he fears Vic would make him weak. Showrunner LeFranc explained that shock decision to Deadline, saying: “Oz has shown himself to be someone who is narcissistic and lives in his own delusion. He has really struggled with receiving love and seeks it out from his mother, but never fully trusts it from people. "In so many ways, he is a broken man. When it comes to Victor, it was really important to me that Oz kill him — not because he has any reason to, and Victor did come through for him. Victor is like family. Yet Victor saw Oz at his weakest, at his most vulnerable. Oz really feels like he needs a level of power. He can’t have weakness, so he kills Victor.” Episode 8 picks up with Francis, Oz's mother (Deirdre O'Connell), in the past, as she revisits how she felt after the deaths of her sons Jack and Benny, following the revelation that Oz killed both of his brothers as a child. We discover that she's known all this time - but there's more. Rex Calabrese (Louis Cancelmi) pays her a …

We've rounded up a few from a number of outlets to give you the best possible set of opinions on whether Batman: Arkham Shadow is worth playing. Kicking things off is Henry Stockdale writing for UploadVR. In his four-and-a-half star review, he states: "Arkham Shadow feels faithful to the flatscreen Arkham games while innovating in its own way through VR-specific design." A 9/10 score from Nick Gillett at MetroUK reads: "Not only one of the best VR experiences ever made but one of the best Batman games too, with a fantastically immersive simulation of the Dark Knight Detective that's just as good as the other Arkham games." IGN's Dan Stapleton gave the game a respectable 8/10 score. He writes: "Batman: Arkham Shadow does an admirable job of adapting everything I love about the Arkham series to work in a full-fledged VR game." Dalton Cooper of Game Rant also had lots of positive things to say: "Batman: Arkham Shadow does a brilliant job of translating the hallmarks of the traditional home console Arkham games to the VR space."

Superman & Lois kills off long-running character as series nears its end

description: Fans did not see this one coming! *SPOILERS FOR SEASON 4 EPISODE 3*
encoded: Superman & Lois has bid a tearful farewell to one of its core characters as the show's final episode looms in the distance. The DC Comics drama, which occupies a space adjacent to the now-defunct Arrowverse, stars Tyler Hoechlin and Bitsie Tulloch in the title roles of Clark Kent (aka Superman) and his journalist wife, Lois Lane. The show was impacted by the one-two punch of The CW's sale to Nexstar (resulting in a slashed budget for scripted programming) and the takeover of DC Studios by James Gunn and Peter Safran (who proceeded to cull many of its remaining TV shows). As a result, Superman & Lois is wrapping up with its fourth season, which is currently airing in the US, with several of the main cast members downgraded to recurring or guest status for budget reasons. Warning: Spoilers follow! The first Superman & Lois star to make a swift exit from the show is Dylan Walsh, whose portrayal of Lois's father General Sam Lane came to a heartbreaking end in the third episode of season 4, titled Always My Hero. The episode saw the General come under attack from the monstrous Doomsday, who was following the orders of Lex Luthor (Michael Cudlitz) to extract information from his rival. Specifically, Lex was seeking to learn the whereabouts of his estranged daughter, Elizabeth (Elizabeth Henstridge), whose location has been kept top secret up to now. Even when faced with the grave physical threat that Doomsday poses, General Lane refused to co-operate with Lex's demands and was murdered by the bloodthirsty foe. While fans were devastated to see such a tragic farewell for Walsh's incarnation of the character – described as the "definitive" General Lane by one X user – they can take solace that his final act will have huge ramifications for the story. Indeed, Superman himself was thought to be dead after the dramatic season 3 finale, with a serum containing the Kryptonian's blood thought to be the key to potentially bringing him back to life. Moments before his death, Genera…

description: Sequel Folie à Deux has recently released in cinemas to a... mixed... reception.
encoded: **WARNING: Contains spoilers for Joker: Folie à Deux** Back when Joker was first released in 2019, it was sold as a one-off, standalone movie. "The movie's not set up to [have] a sequel," Todd Phillips told <a href="https://www.ign.com/articles/2019/09/17/joker-movie-sequel-2-rumor-joaquin-phoenix-todd-phillips" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-analytics-id="inline-link" data-url="https://www.ign.com/articles/2019/09/17/joker-movie-sequel-2-rumor-joaquin-phoenix-todd-phillips" data-hl-processed="none" data-custom-tracking-id="1140098219062285811" data-hawk-tracked="hawklinks" data-google-interstitial="false" data-label="IGN">IGN. "We always pitched it as one movie, and that's it." Of course, the reality turned out to be very different: after breaking $1 billion at the global box office, faring very well during awards season and generally becoming something of a cultural phenomenon, it wasn't long before Warner Bros walked back its earlier claims and greenlit a follow-up. That film has now arrived in cinemas, and it's safe to say that Joker: Folie à Deux has once again cooked up a bit of a storm, albeit of a different nature to last time. The sequel has had an underwhelming opening at the box office, reviews have been generally lukewarm – and many fans of the first one have defiantly taken against it (often for the wrong reasons). Given this response – and, ahem, the nature of the ending – you might be thinking that a Joker 3 seems highly unlikely. But is that the case? Read on for everything you need to know. Will there be a Joker 3? At this stage, the honest answer to this question is probably not. While nothing has been confirmed by Warner Bros yet, the lacklustre box office takings coupled with the film's twist ending and Todd Phillips's own vocal misgivings about continuing in the DC world all point towards the chances of a third film being pretty much dead in the water. "It was fun to play in this sort of sandbox for two movies, but I think we’ve said what w…

description: Prepare to be serenaded by the Joker and Harley Quinn.
encoded: It's finally here: Joker: Folie à Deux, the hotly-anticipated follow-up to the Oscar-winning 2019 DC film has arrived in UK cinemas. Ahead of the release, one question has dominated the conversation: is Joker 2 a musical? Rumours about this had initially been fuelled by Lady Gaga’s casting as Harleen Quinzel/Harley Quinn, and it soon became apparent that the film would be incorporated several classic songs into its narrative. But while music is an essential element in the upcoming film, director Todd Phillips has said he is hesitant to call it a musical, previously telling Variety: "Most of the music in the movie is really just dialogue. It's just Arthur not having the words to say what he wants to say, so he sings them instead." He continued: "I just don't want people to think that it's like In the Heights, where the lady in the bodega starts to sing and they take it out onto the street, and the police are dancing. No disrespect, because I loved In the Heights." Meanwhile, speaking at CinemaCon, he added (via Entertainment Weekly): "We never really talked about it like that, but I like to say it's a film where music is an essential element. To me, that doesn't veer too far from the first film. "Arthur's weird and aloof and all these things, but he has music in him. He has a grace to him. That informed a lot of the dancing in the first film... it didn't feel like that big of a step here. It's different, but I think it'll make sense when you see it." Speaking further about casting Gaga, he said: "We cast Gaga because she's magic. I was a producer on A Star Is Born... That was the first time I really met her and got to watch her work. "As we were writing this script, Scott [Silver], who I wrote it with, kept going back to her." The Joker 2 soundtrack is not to be confused with Lady Gaga’s record Harlequin, a 13-song album the singer is releasing to accompany her new film. So, what songs feature in Joker 2?

description: "No prizes for guessing who betrayed who."
encoded: HBO's The Penguin has already proven to be a ratings smash, but star Colin Farrell has teased that things are going to get even more explosive as the season continues, particularly between Oz Cobb and Cristin Milioti's Sofia Falcone. Oz, the gangster attempting to rise through the ranks in Gotham's underworld, and Sofia, the daughter of Carmine Falcone, who spent years in Arkham State Hospital, have a complex relationship throughout the season – with Farrell teasing betrayal, pain, and a dramatic showdown between the two of them. Farrell exclusively told RadioTimes.com: "They have a history, which is explored in particularly in episode 4, which is mostly Cristin’s episode. "We go into her backstory, and we see very vividly why she is the Sofia that we meet at this time in the present and what she has been put through and how she's been kind of subjugated and treated with extraordinary, immense cruelty. "We share history, and we share a very particular event that took place as well, and there was a certain betrayal that happened between the two of us. "No prizes for guessing who betrayed who - I betrayed her trust, to a certain extent. I don't think I knew exactly the gravity of the consequences that were going to be inflicted upon her [but] I'm not sure that would have changed Oz's mind if he had known." Farrell added: "There's a closeness also between the two of them. They are two sides to the same coin, in many ways. "They both come from extraordinary pain and very kind of deeply troubled backgrounds. And they all have aspirational dreams of what they think the world should be and how they should be treated within that world. "But there's a collision that happens throughout the end of the season, there's a crash that takes place between the two of them, and it's well-earned, the way it was drawn. She was a dream to dance with, Cristin, and she was amazing as Sofia." Even after just one episode, The Penguin, which is set one week after the events of The Batman, has…

description: The Dark Knight returns?
encoded: Almost a decade has passed since Rocksteady ended the Batman Arkham franchise. Sure, we dipped back in briefly with a VR entry, and the Suicide Squad game took place in the same universe, but… it was never the same. Now a new rumour has begun to circulate that the beloved British studio is going back to the Batman well. Whether that means returning to the Arkham franchise or rebooting the universe (just like James Gunn is doing with the DCEU) or doing something different altogether is currently unknown. In fact, very little is known yet, but that hasn't stopped the internet from being ablaze with speculation. Here's what's been said and whether any of these rumours hold any merit. Why are people talking about a new Batman game? Rumours explained View oEmbed on the source website Speculation surrounding a new Batman game from Rocksteady Studios began in September 2024, when XboxEra podcast co-founder Nick 'Shpeshal Nick' Baker shared that the British studio is back working on the IP. "Not sure which studio people’s dreams is, but I heard Rocksteady are back making it," said Baker in a post (via X). Some others are suggesting that the game will be PS5 exclusive, though we couldn't verify anything regarding this aside from further speculation. No official word has come from Rocksteady at the time of writing, so like any gossip, take this rumour lightly. Will it really happen? Our speculation Warner Bros or Rocksteady has not officially announced the existence of a new Batman game from Rocksteady, but anything is possible. In reality, it would make sense for Rocksteady to return to the franchise that made them the number one superhero games developer on the planet. The studio has not made a full Batman game since 2015's Arkham Knight. Rocksteady's history with Batman titles can be found below: Batman: Arkham Asylum – August 2009 Batman: Arkham City – October 2011 Batman: Arkham Knight – June 2015 Batman: Arkham VR – October 2016 Most recently, Rocksteady released Suicid…

description: Colin Farrell has once again buried himself under prosthetics to play the Gotham City crime lord.
encoded: At long last, the anticipated The Penguin series is here. With episodes releasing weekly, fans are in for a treat as we continue on from 2022's The Batman for the new spin-off series that focuses on Oz Cobb's continued rise through the criminal ranks of Gotham City under the name The Penguin. Of course, Colin Farrell reprises the now-leading role for the series and undergoes quite the physical transformation for the character. While the term 'unrecognisable' gets bandied around a lot when it comes to actors switching things up to play characters, it really isn't that much of a stretch when it comes to Farrell in this role. We first saw Farrell in the role in the aforementioned film, which was a rather star-studded one – with main roles for Robert Pattinson, Zoë Kravitz and many more – and although none of them reappear this time around, there are still some very recognisable names in the cast. Speaking about why Pattinson won't be seen in this series, Farrell told IGN: "This story takes place over five or six weeks, so it seemed to make sense to the creatives, to Matt [Reeves] and to Lauren [LeFranc], that he didn't need to appear in this."

description: Where's RBatz?!
encoded: The Penguin has already made his mark, as the first episode of HBO's Batman spin-off starring Colin Farrell graces our screens. But fans will notice one significant absence from the series in the form of RBatz himself, Robert Pattinson's Batman/Bruce Wayne. While theories had circulated about a potential appearance for the Caped Crusader, Oz Cobb actor Farrell has put that speculation to bed. Explaining the character's absence, he told IGN: "This story takes place over five or six weeks, so it seemed to make sense to the creatives, to Matt [Reeves] and to Lauren [LeFranc], that he didn't need to appear in this. "And it's a very different side of Gotham, as well. Not that Batman doesn't get his hands dirty in the shadows, of course, but it's a very, very different part of Gotham that I've never seen before. It's really the underbelly of the city and it's down in the gutter." As Farrell mentions, The Penguin, which is set a week after the events of The Batman, shows a darker side of Gotham, and details Cobb rising through the ranks in the city's criminal underbelly. But he's got other major figures in the criminal underworld to grapple with - not least Cristin Milioti's Sofia Falcone, the daughter of Carmine Falcone (now played by Mark Strong). While many reviews have praised the return to Gotham, Farrell was actually delighted to leave the character behind.

Speaking in a recent interview to mark the release of his new film The Killer's Game, which also stars Mantis actress Pom Klementieff, Bautista commented on his ambitions to work with Chris Pratt and others in upcoming movies. "I hope so, yeah. That’s kind of my goal," he told ComicBook.com. "I really want, because I’ve done another project outside of Guardians with Karen Gillan (the 2019 comedy Stuber), and I’ve done work with Pom now. "I would like to work with Chris [Pratt] and Zoe [Saldana] outside of the Marvel Universe, as well." As for whether that reunion might come in the DCU – which is now overseen by Guardians director James Gunn – Bautista certainly hasn't shut down the possibility of joining the MCU's rival franchise, something which Gunn himself has somewhat cryptically alluded to in the past. "As I’ve said, and I’ve been very open to that. I guess it just has to be the right part," he said. "But I’m very open to it, and I love James and I would do anything to work with him."

It's the first gameplay trailer for the Meta Quest 3 title, and fans of the caped crusader will be delighted to know that the Arkham franchise isn't done yet. We now know a lot more about this awesome VR Batman game, and it has a release window which isn't far away at all. Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League left a bitter taste in many a mouth earlier this year, but the Arkham universe remains cherished among gamers. Beginning with 2009's Arkham Asylum, the franchise is loved by fans and critics alike for its dark narratives, innovative gameplay, and awesome voice acting (especially from Mark Hamill and the late, great Kevin Conroy). The second in the series, Arkham City, is regarded as one of the best games of all time, and the franchise has left the bar pretty high when it comes to superhero gaming adaptations. The first VR game in the series was 2016's Batman: Arkham VR, released initially for the PlayStation VR. As we have seen with tonight's announcement, the technology has progressed considerably since then. In the gameplay trailer, we see both combat and detective work in action. Check it out below: View oEmbed on the source website Batman: Arkham Shadow is being developed exclusively for the Meta Quest 3 Camouflaj and Oculus Studios, in partnership with Warner Bros Interactive Entertainment and DC. The developers have the following to say: "Batman: Arkham Shadow will push Meta Quest 3 to its limits, giving players an up-close look at Gotham City and delivering an Arkham experience that will resonate with longtime fans. "We’re very excited about this one, and can’t wait to get it in your hands come October." So, if you were wondering when that release window was, there you have it! Batman: Arkham Shadow is set to release sometime in October, which is quite fitting. When better to dress like a bat than Halloween? The game's cast is pretty phenomenal, too. Roger Craig Smith r…

Both Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga can be seen briefly singing during the teaser, with Joker first providing his take on For Once in My Life before he is seen joining Harley Quinn in a duet of Judy Garland classic Get Happy. The trailer – which is mainly scored by a version of When You're Smiling (The Whole World Smiles With You) – also heavily teases the whirlwind romance between those two lead characters, with Harley Quinn at one point saying: "When I first saw Joker, when I saw you, for once in my life I didn't feel so alone anymore." Later she tells him: "You can do anything you want, you're Joker." Meanwhile, another scene in the trailer sees the pair standing together on the stage, with Joker declaring: "I have a sneaking suspicion that we're not giving the people what they want." Harley then says, somewhat ominously: "It's OK, baby, let's give the people what they want." Of course, the trailer also hints at more brutal violence and menacing moments, as well as some warnings regarding the title character's reputation as a "monster" – you can check it out in full below: View oEmbed on the source website The upcoming film has been rated R by the Motion Picture Association for "some strong violence, language throughout, some sexuality and brief full nudity", and has just been confirmed to premiere at this September's Venice Film Festival – where the original took home the top prize.

Starring Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga, Joker: Folie à Deux is a follow-up to the Oscar-winning 2019 DC film, and is heavily rumoured to be a musical – a theory that has only gained further support thanks to Gaga's involvement as Quinn. The 30-second clip gives fans a look at the pair in action as they begin their reign of terror in Gotham City – and features some seriously creepy moments. But it’s the appearance of Steve Coogan in a key role that really gave fans a shock. While it’s unclear who Coogan is playing, the footage shows his character questioning the Joker.

Imagine what would happen if Alan Partridge met The Joker…."

There are strong hints at the film’s musical nature in the trailer, with Gaga and Phoenix shown dancing and singing through the streets, as well as performing together on stage to devoted fans. The footage begins with Arthur Fleck and Harley Quinn meeting in Arkham Asylum. But instead of Harley being the Joker’s psychiatrist, as she is in the comics, she seems to be a fellow inmate. "I'm nobody. I haven't done anything with my life like you have," she tells him. At the end of the footage, Gaga’s character visits the Joker in prison.

Warner Bros has remembered, at least, as it's been revealed that it is still being developed - and it now has the Gotham Knights team helping out. We've had plenty of memorable superhero games over the years (for better and for worse), with us being treated to some spectacular Spider-Man titles and brilliant Batman games in the last decade or so. Wonder Woman? She hasn't been quite so lucky. The famous DC superhero has starred in her own movies, had a famous TV show and has been a firm fan favourite among comic book readers since her debut in 1941 by writer and creator William Moulton Marston and artist HG Peter. It’s about time we got a good Wonder Woman game, too. Fortunately, Warner Bros agrees, and confirmed that Monolith Productions had started development on a single-player open-world as-yet-untitled Wonder Woman game back in 2021. It’s been nearly three years since its announcement and we’ve seen nothing of the game since - there’s nary been a noteworthy development update, even. Until now. As revealed by Tech4Gamers, WB Games Montréal – the studio which brought us Gotham Knights – is actively hiring for an external development artist to "work closely with [WB Games Montréal] and support the Monolith Productions team on their announced Wonder Woman game". It should be noted that the job listing doesn’t go into much detail regarding the game or how much WB Games Montréal is assisting in development efforts, but it’s something. We now know that two studios (at least) are working on the long-gestating Wonder Woman title. WB Games Montréal previously ported Batman: Arkham City to the Wii U and developed both Batman: Arkham Origins and Gotham Knights. The studio has plenty of experience in the superhero genre. Coupled with Monolith Productions, who previously gave us both Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor and Middle-Earth: Shadow of War, it’s safe to assume Wonder Woman is i…

While we're still a long way away from our first proper look at James Gunn's much-anticipated Superman reboot, some of the most iconic storylines in comic book history are currently being adapted for the Tomorrowverse. This shared animated universe has recently revisited the origins of Clark Kent and John Stewart, and offered a cinematic retelling of Batman: The Long Halloween – but the biggest is yet to come. Warner Bros Animation is currently embarking on a three-part adaptation of Crisis on Infinite Earths, which is set to feature the late Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill in their Batman and Joker roles from The Animated Series in a multiversal crossover.

The Justice League as he knows it no longer exists, and Aquaman and Wonder Woman are at war in Europe. Allen makes a visit to Wayne Manor, but Batman doesn’t recognise him and responds wi…

description: Alcock is best known for her role as Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen in House of the Dragon.
encoded: After months of rumour and speculation, it looks as though the search for Supergirl could be that bit closer to completion. Set to be part of James Gunn's new slate of upcoming DC movies, Supergirl will not only be an integral part of the releases but will also headline her own movie, Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow. And it looks as though a House of the Dragon star is in the running for the major main character, as Milly Alcock is reportedly in the final stages of the decision process. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Alcock tested for the role in Atlanta, with DC bosses James Gunn and Peter Safran present. The Australian actress is known for her role as a young Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen in HBO's Game of Thrones spin-off House of the Dragon, a role which was then taken over by Emma D'Arcy as the older version of the character. More recently, Alcock made her West End debut in The Crucible at London's Gielgud Theatre, but news as to whether she will actually be starring in the new Supergirl movie is yet to be announced. It has been said that Alcock has made it to the final stages of the decision-making process, being in the final two with Meg Donnelly, who has voiced the role of the character in recent DC animated movies Legion of Super-Heroes, Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths – Part One and its sequel. The film is still in development but Gunn has previously teased that his version of the character will have developed a "jaded" attitude after fighting for survival throughout her formative years. Speaking about the character in a video in January 2023, Gunn said: “Superman is a guy sent to Earth and raised by loving parents, where Supergirl in this story, she is a character raised on a chunk of Krypton. She watched everybody around her perish in some terrible way, so she’s a much more jaded character." Gunn also added: “We will see the difference between Superman, who was sent to Earth and raised by loving parents from the time he was an infant, versus Su…

encoded: The year is almost at an end – but a couple of major big-screen releases have been saved for the last few days of 2023, and one of those films is Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom. The film sees Jason Momoa reprise his role as Aquaman/Arthur Curry with James Wan back behind the camera after the first film in the series became a surprise megahit five years ago – surpassing $1 billion at the global box office. Of course, a lot has changed in the world of DC movies since then, and this film is now set to be the last hurrah of the DC Extended Universe before James Gunn arrives to reboot the franchise with Superman: Legacy in 2025. Momoa is joined by a number of other big names in the cast, with Patrick Wilson, Nicole Kidman, Dolph Lundgren, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II and Amber Heard among those to reprise their roles from last time out.

Aquaman 2 plot The film sees Arthur Curry reunite with his brother Orm (Patrick Wilson) as he prepares to once again face off against the same villain as last time – Yahya Abdul-Mateen II's Black Manta.
