Reacher and Smallville star Alan Ritchson is still the favorite to be the Batman of the DCU, but comic writer, creator, and entrepreneur Todd McFarlane is throwing a name in the hat that no one else has thought of. He is intrigued by what the Spock of Star Trek’s Kelvin timeline, Zachary Quinto, could bring to the part. RELATED: Warner Bros.

So this is it? This is how Warner Bros. beats Disney and Snow White, and ekes out their first billion of 2025? With this mindless copy-paste slop that has the Minecraft name attached to it? Okay, then, I can tell where this is going. I wonder if I was too harsh on Mickey 17 and Better Man. RELATED: Warner Bros.

What’s the first step in recovery? Admitting you have a problem. Practically all of us know this axiom, even studio executives insulated by their industry bubble. And like most, they had to learn the hard way by hitting bottom.

I confess I wrote about The Woman in the Yard last week with no plans to see it initially. But after delving into the ending and its fatalist implications, I had to see for myself how bad it was. With that preconception, I was not expecting to like it (give or take a couple of caveats). Understand that I’m not saying I recommend it, just that I’m not sure the major complaint against the film is well-founded.

For once, we have something without violence, blood, guts, or chills, but that’s not to say The Luckiest Man in America is without its thrills. As a character drama, it brings a lot to its gaming table, and much of that stuff is served up by the star, i.e., the contestant running said table like he’s at a casino, Paul Walter Hauser.

Revivals are all the rage, and if the trend stays strong, as excessive as it’s getting, another long-awaited reboot could be in the works. Beyond that, the original series’ creators want to see it happen, which is always a good sign.

One would think Laurence Fishburne was irreplaceable as Morpheus, a character he originated and embodied so well. Yet, when The Matrix Resurrections came around, the producers proved that was not the case. They subbed the veteran actor with the on-the-rise Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, which was purely a corporate move and not what Fishburne would have liked to see occur.

Blumhouse’s latest release, The Woman in the Yard, is flying below the radar at theaters in part because it’s not striking the right chord with horror fans. Like Night Swim, a lot of critics think the thriller would work better as a short film since almost nothing happens for its duration. It’s being called predictable, plodding, and disappointing, but oddly enough, that’s the least of the film’s problems.

Superman will be up against The Fantastic Four: First Steps when it comes out in July, but that factor has not been considered in most of the test screening reports to date. However, after the most recent one that reportedly took place on the Warner Bros. lot in late March, reactions are starting to get better as well as moot how the film will stand out from the pack mid-summer.
