Continuing the line of home video animated movies featuring Lego DC Super Heroes from Warner Bros. Animation, they have announced Lego DC Super Heroes: The Flash, coming this spring. Here’s the description: Reverse-Flash (Dwight Schultz) manipulates the Speed Force to put the Flash (James Arnold Taylor) into a time loop that forces him to relive the same day over and over again — with progressively disastrous results, including losing his powers and being fired by the Justice League. The Flash […]

As reported by Deadline, the supernatural coming-of-age graphic novel Anya’s Ghost is planned to become a movie.

The DC Super Hero Girls have two animated movies, Hero of the Year and Intergalactic Games, and a Lego toy line. Now they’re mashing them together in a new original animated film, Lego DC Super Hero Girls: Brain Drain. When Supergirl, Wonder Woman, Batgirl, Bumblebee, and Katana suddenly realize they cannot remember a single moment from their Monday at Super Hero High, the young DC Super Heroes spring into sleuthing action!

I hadn’t realized Kingsman: The Secret Service was as successful as it was, making over $400 million worldwide. That explains why a sequel, Kingsman: The Golden Circle, is coming this September. As with the first movie, this one is directed by Matthew Vaughn and co-written by him and Jane Goldman. It stars Taron Egerton and carried over from the previous, Mark Strong and oddly, Colin Firth. I’m surprised, given events of the first film, he’s still in it, but there […]

I didn’t see X-Men: Apocalypse in theaters. This past summer, I was pretty burned out on superhero comic movies, and I wasn’t blown away by the trailer. But I like the concept of the X-Men, especially with the revamped prequel setup and cast. Overall, watching the movie made for an enjoyable weekend afternoon. I had a fun time with the film, particularly since KC and I could stop the movie and talk about comic history, or roll our eyes at […]

The latest in the line of cute, goofy comedy superhero adventures was perfect viewing for a lazy Sunday afternoon.

To celebrate Batman’s anniversary of becoming a hero, Nightwing and Batgirl take him on a vacation to see a former mentor, Madame Mantis. Of course, they stumble on a secret plot with a number of battles with other criminals involved. Meanwhile, back in […]

Wondering how soon it will be before you can watch Captain America: Civil War in the privacy of your own home? We were — we were trying to figure out when to go see it again before then. Conveniently, I just got the press release announcement. Captain America: Civil War was a great movie, really an Avengers installment with all the other heroes involved. The highest-grossing film of 2016 will be available on Blu-ray and DVD on September 13 and […]

Warner Bros. Home Entertainment has announced a new entry in their Lego DC Comics Super Heroes direct-to-video movie line.
