San Diego Comic-Con attendees got a pleasant surprise when the next two characters joining the Marvel Cosmic Invasion roster were revealed, and they're not characters that most fans would expect. Cosmic Invasion is an upcoming retro-style beat 'em up game, similar to arcade games from the 80s and 90s, like Double Dragon and Streets of Fury. The game will feature a total of 15 playable characters, and now, 11 have been confirmed.

According to a post from PR Agency Indigo Pearl, the next two characters joining Marvel Cosmic Invasion's roster are The Silver Surfer and Beta Ray Bill. The announcement was made by the game's developer and publisher at the event, along with a new trailer.

Remember the story of the fictional Special Forces team who were on the run for a crime they allegedly didn’t commit and wanted to clear their names? That’sThe A-Team— the action production that first came to life as an NBC series that ran from January 23, 1983, to March 8, 1987. Fast-forward to 2010, the series was revived as a movie by producers Stephen J. Cannell, the late Tony Scott, and his brother Ridley Scott, who also served as executive producers. That movie is now available to stream for free in the U.S., where it will hopefully find success after its not-so-impressive release.

TheA-Team is currently streaming on Tubi, where it debuted on July 1, 2025, over a decade after 20th Century Fox released it in theaters on June 11, 2010. The film received mixed reviews from critics, who gave it a 48% score on Rotten Tomatoes, while praising the cast and action sequences but criticizing the script.

Superman's archenemy is, without a doubt, Lex Luthor. But the problem the movies have always run into is that Luthor is a normal guy; one punch from Superman and he's dust. So how do you make Lex stand toe-to-toe with the Man of Steel? Traditionally, there have been two options: Either put Lex in a suit of armor, or give him a superpowered enforcer.

Superman movies have always gone with the latter, and James Gunn's new "Superman" is no different. Lex's (Nicholas Hoult) muscle is Ultraman. Yes, the rumors were true, Ultraman does appear in "Superman" as a key villain. However, he's a bit different than the comic book version.

During "Superman," Ultraman stays silent and wears a full body black suit, with a goggled mask resembling Doomsday's.

Everyone can name the highest-grossing film of 1977 -- George Lucas' "Star Wars: Episode IV -- A New Hope" -- as it kicked off a high-profile sci-fi franchise that persists to this day. Other big hits from that year included Steven Spielberg's alien abduction thriller "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" (a movie inspired by Spielberg's real-life fascination with alien life) and John Badham's downbeat disco drama "Saturday Night Fever" (a film that John Travolta trained "Rocky"-style to prepare for). One of the more notable yet less-discussed success stories of 1977, however, was Hal Needham's laidback beer-run action-comedy "Smokey and the Bandit," a film that raked in roughly $127 million at the box office against a $4.3 million budget. That's like a $23 million movie earning $677 million in 2025.

"Smokey and the Bandit" is a playfully rebellious film about a Southern sports car owner, nicknamed Bandit (Burt Reynolds), who is tasked...

Some days, it feels like every name in Hollywood has been a superhero at some point, and TV stars have been getting in on that action for decades. From Superman's radio serials that turned into TV shows, all the way toward the massive "event miniseries" that pop up on HBO Max and Disney+ in the modern streaming era. A fan-favorite name will get the opportunity to play an iconic DC or Marvel character down the line if they just keep grinding, and sometimes those casting choices make all the sense in the world. For example, "NCIS" star Mark Harmon playing Superman is one of those moments that sounds fascinating in your head, and worked out to perfection in the world of DC animation.

Reading this, you might not remember the "NCIS" star playing the Man of Steel in any comic book project, but he did voice Superman back in "Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths.

Before becoming the co-ceo of DC Studios alongside Peter Safran, James Gunn had a history with the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The filmmaker directed the Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy before making his way over to the Dcu.

The Guardians of the Galaxy franchise features many actors throughout its three films, and one of them might be heading over to the Dcu. Per Emmanuel Devon Newsom from Gunnverse,Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 actor Will Poulter is reportedly in talks to play Adam Strange - a character that hasn't been teased before. The character is expected to make his debut in the upcoming Dcu series Lanterns.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 was Gunn's final MCU project, and several actors from the franchise showed their interest in joining him at the Dcu, including Chris Pratt and Dave Bautista.

2013's Tarzanis about to make its way to a whole-new streaming home.

Per Peacock, Tarzan starring the voices of Kellan Lutz, Spencer Locke, and Trevor St. John is set to become the latest addition to the platform's ever-expanding library of animated features. Tarzan will be available for streaming on Peacock beginning April 1.

Directed by Reinhard Klooss from a script co-written by Klooss, Jessica Postigo, and Yoni Brenner, Tarzan stars Lutz as the voice of the titular adventurer in a version of the classic story that comes with a decidedly sci-fi bent. The film kicks off with a journey into the jungles of Uganda, where Tarzan's parents, John and Alice Greystoke, portrayed by Mark Deklin and Jaime Ray Newman, are in search of the meteor that wiped out the dinosaurs and exudes its own unique form of energy.

DC has a long history of animated adaptations. They range from TV shows to full-length feature films and even popular video game franchises. The DC Universe plans to add more animated shows, including the recent Creature Commandos. Unfortunately, most of its animated features focus entirely on either Batman or Superman.

While Batman and Superman are iconic figures, finding any DC content that does not revolve around them is a challenge. Wonder Woman has a few specials, but most characters struggle to stand out by themselves. Thankfully, some DC animated movies focus on characters besides the two legendary heroes.

Updated February 11, 2025, by Anthony Jeanetta. DC’s animation team remains one of the most consistent producers of quality superhero movies. This list has been updated to include more of the best DC animated movies that aren’t about Superman or Batman.

He was a key figure in the 2022 Modern Warfare 2 single-player campaign, and the British special forces’ mask has come to represent the series. We still can’t forget the scene when he was burnt alive by Capt Shepherd in MW2 (2009). The character’s popularity rose so high, there was serious demand for a Ghost spin-off title.

Warning! This post contains Spoilers for Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths - Part Three

Crisis on Infinite Earths - Part Three names John Stewart as the greatest Green Lantern, something he could also become in the upcoming Lanterns show set in the Dcu. John Stewart's journey against the Anti-Monitor leads to the dawn of a brand-new Lantern Corps in the face of overwhelming odds. The DC Universe's rebooted universe could see a live-action John Stewart similarly surpassing Hal Jordan's legacy in Lanterns.

DC just confirmed the greatest Green Lantern ahead of the Dcu's upcoming Lanterns show. Set to star Green Lanterns Hal Jordan and John Stewart as veteran and rookie officers investigating a new mystery on Earth, Lanterns is set to become a dynamic part of the upcoming DC Universe from James Gunn and Peter Safran.

Kevin Conroy's voice can be heard in his final performance as Batman in the new animated movie Crisis on Infinite Earths - Part Three. Looking back, DC Animated Universe executive producer Butch Lukic reflected on Conroy recording his lines for what turned out to be his last hurrah as the Dark Knight.

Per ComicBookMovie.com, Lukic shared how it was even joked about during the recording session that Conroy was recording Batman lines for the final time. However, it wasn't truly intended at the time for that to be the final performance of Conroy as the character. Lukic noted how nobody knew at the time that Conroy was ill, and he's not even sure if the voice actor himself was aware just yet.

I love The A-Team (which we also covered on an episode of Gone But Not Forgotten). I grew up watching the series and had the toys, the Mr. T Cereal, the whole bit. I wasn’t unlike many of my Gen X brothers and sisters in that regard. It was fun, insane, action-packed, and Murdock was my guy.

Over the last few decades, we’ve seen many of these 70s and 80s TV series be redone as feature films or new series for television.

Fans of this superhero adventure...

When the news broke during last year's San Diego Comic-Con that the Crisis on Infinite Earths comic book was being turned into a three-part animated movie, DC fans rejoiced.

The CW previously adapted the story for the Arrowverse, but this version had the opportunity to bring together countless animated characters from across the Dcau in an ambitious retelling of the story. Unfortunately, the opening two chapters have been mostly disappointing.

There's still a chance it will end on a high note, of course, and a first look at Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths - Part Three's cover art has now found its way online (via Toonado.com).

Recreating the iconic shot of Superman holding the downed Supergirl, we also see Mister Terrific, Batman, Lex Luthor, Hawkgirl, Hourman, Wonder Woman, and The Joker. Looming in the background is the massive Anti-Monitor.

When we first learned that Warner Bros. Animation was developing a three-part Crisis on Infinite Earths movie, the response from fans was largely positive.

While the Tomorrowverse has been a little hit-or-miss, it's also delivered a lot of very good movies. Needless to say, the prospect of mixing DC characters from that world with so many other animated franchises was undeniably exciting.

Unfortunately, Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths - Part One and Part Two proved to be mostly underwhelming affairs, with the only noteworthy cameo being Terry McGinnis/Batman Beyond in the second instalment. As exciting as that may sound, he had no more than a couple of lines in the movie and failed to make much of an impact.

There may, however, be a chance the final instalment redeems itself.

A final reunion between two of animation's most iconic voice actors is in the works, according to an insider to the DC Animated Universe.

Mark Hamill will return as Joker in Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths - Part 3, according to an IGN report. A source privy to the film's production confirmed Hamill's casting opposite the late Kevin Conroy, who will posthumously return as the voice of Batman. The news has yet to be confirmed by Hamill's representative or Warner Bros. Home Entertainment, but fans have been clamoring for both actors' return in the final installment of DC Animated's Tomorrowverse. Hamill recently stated it's unlikely that he will ever play Joker again, having committed to only reprise the role if Conroy voices Batman.

Arguably the best Batman and Joker combo in history is getting back together one last time, and the reunion comes as a pretty sizable surprise. Mark Hamill will once again reprise his role as The Joker alongside the late Kevin Conroy's Batman. Conroy voiced the Caped Crusader for decades, from "Batman: The Animated Series" in the early '90s through Conroy's much-too-early death in 2022. We knew Conroy's voice would be used as Batman once again, and now it has been confirmed that Hamill will be reuniting with his former co-star in one of Conroy's final posthumous performances.

Burt Reynolds' Smokey And The Bandit movies are some of the late, great actors' most popular. The tar paid his dues as an actor thanks to appearances in TV shows like Alfred Hitchcock Presents or Reynolds' short stint on Western Gunsmoke, alongside b-movies like Operation C.I.A. He finally broke through thanks to classic 1972 survival thriller Deliverance and became one of the biggest stars of the decade. Alongside Smokey And The Bandit - which was the second highest-grossing film of 1977 behind Star Wars - he appeared in hit after hit, including The Longest Yard.

Sadly, some poor choices during the '80s saw his career wane, including City Heat, which paired him with friend Clint Eastwood. In his later career, Reynolds still turned in some great work, including Boogie Nights - though he famously loathed the film - in addition to working constantly. Reynolds' very quotable Smokey And The Bandit...

The Godfather is a great movie, possibly the best ever made. Its sequel, The Godfather, Part II, often follows it in the pantheon of classic cinema, some critics even believe it is the better film. Robert Evans, head of production at Paramount in the early 1970s, wanted The Godfather to be directed by an Italian American. Francis Ford Coppola was very much a last resort. The studio’s first choice was Sergio Leone, but he was getting ready to make his own gangster epic, Once Upon a Time in America. Though less known, it is equally magnificent.

Smokey and the Bandit, the 1977 comedy classic that cemented the superstardom of the late Burt Reynolds, will soon make an audacious attempt to smuggle itself back into the pop culture picture, with a television series now in the works at Universal Content Productions.

David Gordon Green has been tapped to develop, write, executive-produce and direct the prospective pilot for a new small screen take on the Southern, car-chase-centric, antihero-hailing Universal film franchise on behalf of studio subsidiary Ucp. Green will write alongside Brian Sides, a frequent collaborator, who also directs and produces documentary shows such as The Horn and Alaska: The Last Frontier. They’ll be joined by executive producers in Green’s cohorts from Rough House Pictures, notably Danny McBride, and Seth MacFarlane via his Fuzzy Door banner. While no details were divulged, a desire to revive a dwindling cinematic institution is telegraphed with a description that reads:

Breaker-breaker, we have a 10-20 on a Smokey and the Bandit TV series, which is being developed by executive producer Seth MacFarlane for NBC Universal’s Ucp (Universal Content Productions).

The original 1977 movie, directed by stuntman Hal Needham, starred Burt Reynolds as Bo “Bandit” Darville, who with fellow bootlegger Cledus “Snowman” Snow (Jerry Reed) attempted to illegally transport 400 cases of beer from Texarkana to Atlanta. Upon picking up hitchhiking runaway bride Carrie (Sally Field), the trio are further dogged by Texas county sheriff/”Smokey” Buford T. Justice (Jackie Gleason).

David Gordon Green is developing a series adaptation of “Smokey and the Bandit” for Ucp, the studio announced Wednesday.

The project, based on the 1977 film starring Burt Reynolds and Sally Field, is described as “an epic adventure of family, small-town crime, unlikely heroes, legend and legacy. Inspired by the genre of 70s and 80s drive-in double-features, the series explores the crossroads where humble realities meet those larger-than-life, all in a blast of tailpipe exhaust.”

Green will direct the pilot and co-write with Brian Sides. Seth MacFarlane and Erica Huggins of Fuzzy Door will executive produce under their overall deal with Ucp, alongside Green, Danny McBride, Jody Hill and Brandon James of Rough House Pictures.

In a statement, Green linked the project to his experience growing up in Texas. “Growing up in the south, ‘Smokey and the Bandit’ was an iconic franchise for me,” he said. “The legacy of these characters...

The spring and summer of 1988 were consumed with a writers’ strike within the film and television industry, but one project that launched in the fall came out of it unscathed: “Dance ‘Til Dawn,” an original television movie about Hoover High’s senior prom first aired on NBC Oct. 23, 1988. The movie was a who’s who of 1980s television — from Kelsey Grammer and Alan Thicke, to Christina Applegate, Tempestt Bledsoe and Tracey Gold — and its multi-generational casting allowed it to be an early pioneer of content aimed at a co-viewing audience. It was also a love letter to Los Angeles, utilizing iconic locations such as the Cocoanut Grove at the Ambassador Hotel as its soundstage. Now, 30 years after its initial release, “Dance ‘Til Dawn” also finds new relevance within the era of #MeToo and Time’s Up.

after 15 years on the radio."All true histories contain instruction; though, in some, the treasure may be hard to find, and when found, so trivial in quantity that the dry, shrivelled kernel scarcely compensates for the trouble of cracking the nut."

The nominations for the Game Awards have been revealed and it should come to a surprise by no one that Nintendo is leading the way in nominations this year! Here are all the nominations and how to vote!

On December 7, 2017, 2017's video games, their studios, and the people who play them will be honored during The Game Awards 2017, hosted by Geoff Keighley. This year's event should have the gaming world buzzing, as Nintendo is finally in the limelight with about 24 nominations. No other studio can hold that distinction, but Nintendo. It's a long time coming for the once-booming company. The uptick can be attributed to their brand new system, the Nintendo Switch, that has changed the way the world games, as well as the way Nintendo develops.

Video games' biggest night is always a great time to reflect on the best games of the year, but it's also a huge night for reveals.

Thirty years ago, an unknown 16-year-old Long Island girl named Debbie Gibson released her first pop album.

Entitled Out of the Blue, it spawned five hit singles and sold five million copies worldwide. The chart topping “Foolish Beat” made her the youngest female artist to write, produce and perform a top single – a record that endures today.

Gibson is still around. Her follow-up album, Electric Youth, went straight to no. 1. She continues to release new music and she occasionally acts—most recently in the 2016 TV Movie Summer of Dreams. She is releasing a box set of her music later this...

Well, it’s about time. For the last twenty-five years or so, we’ve had one animated Batman series after another but to be honest only two are really good: Batman the Animated Series and Batman: The Brave and the Bold. The latter has been slowly coming out on Blu-Ray with season one in 2013 and season two in 2015. This month, we’re getting the third and final season and the good news is that it is as entertaining as remembered.

After increasingly odd interpretations of Batman, Warner Animation decided to go retro and bring back the Batman of the 1960s, who was not afraid to operate in daylight and would partner with just about anyone in a mask as the need arose. Producer James Tucker saw to it that it honored the comic the series took its name from while modernizing it with contemporary characters and characterizations. The result was...

“Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare,” “Far Cry Primal,” “Mr. Robot 1.51exfiltratiOn” and “Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End” have been nominated for outstanding achievement in video game writing during 2016 by The Writers Guild of America, West and the Writers Guild of America, East. The winner will be announced at concurrent ceremonies in Los Angeles and New York on Feb. 19. The full list of nominees is: Also Read: Video Game Actors Strike Goes Virtual at Noon Today “Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare,” Written by Brian Bloom; Activision “Far Cry Primal,” Story by Jean-Sébastien Décant, Ian C. Ryan, Kevin Shortt; Lead Writers Ian C.

It is fair to say that Activision haven’t handled the release of Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare well. The release of the game in such a restricted way created bad press, and an unpopularity around the release. The question is though, is Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare actually any good?

There are certain rules I make for myself when I play Call of Duty, and that makes it a more tolerable game for me. One of those is to turn of voice chat, to get rid of the toxic nature of the game. While it is annoying that you can’t “block all” on the menus, it is a rule I stick to. Even taking that into consideration, I have become a fan of Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare. Before I get onto the multiplayer though, what about the campaign?

Last year, with Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 I...
