Rating:...

DC Comics' "Justice League" #27, available August 16, 2017, is written by Bryan Hitch and illustrated by Fernando Pasarin, Oclair Albert, with covers by Bryan Hitch, Nick Bradshaw, in support of the upcoming "Justice League" feature, opening November 17, 2017:

"...in 'Legacy' part two, a massive 'metahuman' war threatens to leave the future ripe for conquest by the despot known only as 'Sovereign'.

"Warn the children of the 'Justice League', who have come back in time to save the world. 

"But the term 'blood feud' takes on new meaning when the younger heroes declare that for the crisis to be averted, one of the Justice League must die..."

"...in 'Justice League', the movie, in the wake of the 'death' of 'Clark Kent'/Superman' (Henry Cavill) at the hands of 'Doomsday' in 'Batman vs Superman: Dawn Of Justice'...

"...'Bruce Wayne'/'Batman' (Ben Affleck) reevaluates his extreme methods.

This former page boy is all grown up — and royally shaking up social media with a steamy new photo.

Arthur Chatto, the 18-year-old son of Lady Sarah Chatto (the only daughter of the late Princess Margaret) and grandnephew of Queen Elizabeth II, posted a photo on his Instagram account — which was deleted and restored on Friday — showing himself in nothing but a pair of white Calvin Klein underwear, captioned “#Chatnoleg.”

Much like his cousin Prince Harry, Arthur is on a military career-path. He graduated earlier this year from the Combined Cadet Force at Eton, and most likely will attend Edinburgh...

Predator: Hunters #3: "Contact! The assault team encounters the Predator at night on the tropical island! First blood goes to the alien hunter, but ten-to-one odds and machine guns favor the humans... unless there's something about their quarry they don't know!

Amazon’s “The Tick” pilot made enough of an impression to get a full series order, with new episode expected some time next year. Created by Ben Edlund, this new series stars Peter Serafinowicz, taking the reigns from previous The Tick actor Patrick Warburton, as the comedic blue superhero. Edlund and producer Barry Josephson attended New York Comic Con on Thursday to discuss the new series and revealed that Warburton, who also serves as one of the show’s producers, will have a cameo in the upcoming season.

“He’ll do something special. I can’t say exactly when,” said Josephson about Warburton.

“I think he’ll have a really interesting role. They’ll be some comments on the Tick, because he was The Tick,” Edlund said, adding that he’d also like to bring in other cast members from the 2001 series. “Everyone in the whole live-action was wonderful, so...

“Pokémon Go” fever has swept the nation, and it doesn’t look like it’s slowing down any time soon. The augmented-reality mobile video game allows players to catch, train, and battle Pokémon out in the real world, using Gps and camera technology. Its runaway success has led to a $9 billion 25% stock price jump for Nintendo, and now Hollywood is knocking on its door yet again. Deadline reports that Legendary Pictures is pursuing a deal for the rights to make a live-action film based on the long-running Japanese video game. It’s likely to be the biggest video-game movie rights deal in history.

Film will splash one of Thorne's big ideas – traversable wormholes through space and time – across popular culture

If you could pass through a wormhole and fast-forward to November 2014, odds are many people will be talking about Kip Thorne and the possibility of time travel.

Hollywood's publicity machine will be in overdrive promoting a blockbuster film, Interstellar, which draws on research by the theoretical physicist.

Christopher Nolan, who directed the Dark Knight trilogy, has assembled Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain and Michael Caine to star in what has been billed as "a heroic voyage to the farthest borders of our scientific understanding".

The real star, however, will be Thorne and his planet-sized brain. The 73-year-old scientist is already revered among peers for advancing some of Albert Einstein's most intriguing theories about relativity and gravity fields. The film will splash one of Thorne's big ideas – traversable wormholes through space and time – across popular culture.

Long-time screenwriter and soon-to-be first-time director Akiva Goldsman has offered the leading role in his passion project Winter’s Tale to the hot-then-cold-now-hot-again movie star Colin Farrell. The project is one of fantasy, taking place alternatively in 19th Century and present-day Manhattan, involving a thief who falls for the dying daughter (to be played by Downton Abbey‘s Jessica Brown Findlay) of a rich patriarch who’s house he’s broken in to.

Warner Bros. is producing the project. Farrell did good work for the studio last year in Horrible Bosses, which became a runaway hit. The actor also has the Sony tentpole Total Recall out later this summer. This news comes after reports that Goldsman was screen-testing everyone from Tom Hiddleston to Lily Collins to Benjamin Walker for various roles.

International draws Russell Crowe (who starred in both Goldsman’s script of A Beautiful Mind and Cinderella Man) and...
