Movie lovers will know that Zack Snyder is a very divisive personality in the world of cinema, as you either love his movies or you hate them. With Snyder, there is no in-between; his vision is so specific that you will either like it completely and enjoy his movies or think it completely ridiculous and consider his movies a failure.
There are numerous projects we could cite, but that would take too long. After the recent failure of Rebel Moon, many believed that Snyder’s career was on its way to oblivion, but it seems that his latest project, the animated series Twilight of the Gods, is doing well and might just usher in some new life into his career.
The series is finally available on Netflix starting on September 19, 2024, and it seems that the first reactions are surprisingly positive, which might indicate that the series might be a hit...

Netflix’s ‘Twilight of the Gods’ mixes Norse mythology with sex, magic, and extreme violence as its strives for a mythical quest that’s truly for mature audiences.
“The age of petty Gods must end.”
The past decade has been a goldmine for subversive tales about Gods and mythological warriors, whether it’s American Gods, Ragnarok, Kaos, or even YA fare like the Percy Jackson series. Additionally, animation has really run wild with this subject matter in both despondent action dramas like Blood of Zeus and farcical comedies like Krapopolis. This is certainly territory that feels right at home for a stylized filmmaker like Zack Snyder, who initially turned heads with his historical action epic, 300, only to tackle increasingly fantastical subject matter and repeated ruminations on the nature of “Gods.” In this sense, Twilight of the Gods feels like it’s been a long time coming for Snyder.

All episodes of Twilight of the Gods are now streaming on Netflix, and the review embargo for Zack Snyder's adult animated Norse mythology series lifted around the same time the show premiered.
This isn't always a great sign, but the first wave of reviews have been mostly very positive.
Snyder's work has rarely gone over well with critics, but his last Netflix collaboration - the Rebel Moon movies - really came in for a drubbing. So far, Twilight of the Gods has fared a lot better.
Though there are some negative verdicts, the majority of write-ups praise the animation style, world-building, voice-acting and bloody action - although it sounds like Snyder may have overindulged in the graphic violence and sex a little too much for some tastes.

A new week is here and with it comes a few new movies and shows to Netflix's lineup. The new additions include a new Ryan Murphy true crime mess, a new animated series, and new movie.
First up this week is Monsters. It hits Netflix on Thursday, Sept. 19, 2024 and is the next true crime installment for Ryan Murphy. This time, it's all about the Menendez brothers. Their parents are brutally murdered and they are put on trial.

Zack Snyder's adult animated Norse mythology series, Twilight of the Gods, is set to premiere on Netflix on September 19, and the streamer has now released an action-packed final trailer.
This full-length promo spotlights plenty of bloody battles, as a mortal warrior named Sigrid enlists the aid of Loki (probably not a great idea) to wage war against Thor after the vengeful God of Thunder murders her entire family.
"In a mythical world of great battles, great deeds, and great despair, Leif (Stuart Martin), a mortal king, is saved on the battlefield by Sigrid (Sylvia Hoeks), an iron-willed warrior with whom he falls in love," reads the updated synopsis. "On their wedding night, Sigrid and Leif survive a wrath of terror from Thor (Pilou Asbæk), which sets them — and a crew of crusaders — on a merciless mission for vengeance, against all odds.

Joker 2: Lady Gaga’s Harley Quinn Will be Different from the Comics - Main Image
Among countless Harley Quinn iterations we've seen across different media, Lady Gaga's version stands out among the rest, that's according to Joker 2 director Todd Phillips. Joker: Folie à Deux introduces the complete opposite of Birds of Prey's Cupid of Chaos.
Joker 2 Director 'Stripped' Lady Gaga's Harley Quinn of Her Essence
No one thought a Joker sequel would be in order, until film writer and director Todd Phillips confirmed it in June 2022.
Apart from the exploration of a musical genre in the sequel, hiring singer-actress Lady Gaga as the franchise's Harley Quinn pretty much shows fans how the flick plans on introducing Gotham's infamous partners in crime.
Despite the divisive fan reactions when DC first pinned Lady Gaga as Harley Quinn starring alongside Joaquin Phoenix's Joker in the sequel,...

Time is flying faster than Rhaenys fell to her death this season on “House of the Dragon,” which is to say, wow, somehow the Season 2 finale of the “Game of Thrones” spin-off is already upon us.
Despite multiple clips leaking on social media earlier this week after what HBO referred to as an “unintentional release from an international third-party distributor,” the finale (airing Sunday at 9/8 on HBO and Max) is still the most anticipated watch of the weekend that isn’t related to the Summer Olympics. In the penultimate episode, Emma D’Arcy’s Queen Rhaenyra was last seen gathering an unconventional group of dragonriders — including a blacksmith and a drunk — to set the stage for the finale’s major conflict with Aemond (Ewan Mitchell), who fled to King’s Landing when he saw Rhaenyra’s growing forces. If you’ve read the source material, you likely know how this will end.

Batman: The Animated Series creator Bruce Timm has returned to the world of the Dark Knight with Batman: Caped Crusader on Prime Video, but he once had the opportunity to do a proper revival of The Animated Series. If you’re wondering why that didn’t happen, it’s because he turned it down.
While speaking with The Wrap, Timm said that Warner Bros. approached him four or five years ago with the idea of bringing back Batman: The Animated Series. At the time, the studio was about to launch its own streaming service and clearly saw the draw of new episodes. “They said, ‘Hey, how would you feel about going back and making some more ‘B:tas’ episodes?’ And I’m like, ‘Nah, we’d been there, we’d done that.’ I wasn’t interested in just revisiting that world,” Timm explained.

This Batman review contains spoilers.
Everything you need to know about Batman: Caped Crusader happens in the opening credits. Sepia-tone shots of Batman glowering from a rooftop or skulking through empty rooms give way to images of the Gotham police office and gangsters firing tommy guns, all set to a moody, mournful score. Fancy art-deco script introduces the creatives involved, including producer credits for J.J. Abrams and The Batman director Matt Reeves.
Then there’s Bruce Timm, whose influence on the series is unquestionable from the moment the credits scene kicks off. Caped Crusader plays like an updated version of the great Batman: The Animated Series, which Timm created with Eric Radomski. Male characters may not have the same barrel chests and female figures don’t all have hourglass shapes, but the same linework and designs from the ’90s show is present. Each frame appears painted on black matte paper again,...

So, if you love Batman: The Animated Series and are excited about all the mayhem in Batman: Caped Crusader, here are...

Plot: After a family tragedy, socialite Bruce Wayne transforms into The Batman, where his crusade for justice spawns unforeseen ramifications.
Review: The original Batman: The Animated Series is considered by many, myself included, to be one of the best cartoon series ever. It didn’t pander, it had an iconic look, it had voice talent that included legends like Mark Hamill, Rodd McDowall, Paul Williams, Michael Ansara, and as Batman the voice of the late, great Kevin Conroy.
Btas would be the forerunner to other iconic animated series like Justice League, Batman Beyond, and Superman The Animated Series. It would produce feature films as well, like The Mask of Phantasm. It would be the birthplace of Harley Quinn, who has become a DC live-action film staple. But she got her start here in the guise of Arleen Sorkin.
What I’m saying is that Btas is a hard act to follow.

The first name you see in the opening credits of Prime Video’s new Batman: Caped Crusader cartoon isn’t Hamish Linklater, who plays Bruce Wayne, nor anyone else in the voice cast. It isn’t executive Matt Reeves, who has earned a fair share of Bat-credibility from directing Robert Pattinson in The Batman. Nor is it executive producer J.J. Abrams, who even in his fallow post-Rise of the Skywalker period remains one of the biggest names in nerd pop culture.

Like any icon who’s been around long enough, Batman has appeared before us in a nigh-infinite number of permutations. There are Batmans who fly solo, and Batmans who have Robins. There are Batmans who’ve been at this a while, and Batmans who are new to the job. There are campy Batmans and gritty Batmans, wholesome Batmans and scary Batmans, and every single shade in between.
The first task of any new version, then, is distinguishing itself from the others. Batman: Caped Crusader achieves that easily: It’s a noirish animated take set in the 1940s, not long after the character’s real-world debut in the comics. The second task is persuading us that this new iteration has what it takes to stand on its own, and in that sense its success is more mixed.

It’s a testament to the timelessness of Batman that he and his carnivalesque rogues’ gallery is open to all manner of interpretations. The 1940s-set Batman: Caped Crusader makes the most out of that fact. Developed by Bruce Timm, best known for co-creating the landmark ’90s classic Batman: The Animated Series with Paul Dini, it feels like a visual offshoot of their past work. The Gotham of the previous Bat-show (nominally set in the present day) was designed to look like it existed out of time; this 1940s Gotham, on the other hand, takes that old-school aesthetic literally.
Timm’s design sensibilities and unique approach make the show feel familiar yet different. With animators taking their cue from Golden Age comic designs, the art direction is angular and expressionist, full of shadows and Art Deco architecture. The silhouettes of its character designs favour square jaws,...

Batman: Caped Crusader‘s journey to the screen is almost as fascinating as the journey of its titular hero. A collaboration of Dcau architect Bruce Timm, The Batman director Matt Reeves, and J.J. Abrams, the series was initially set to air on both Cartoon Network and what was then called HBO Max as the potential crown jewel of a robust new animation line-up. Then, the WB/Discovery merger happened and much of that proposed line-up disappeared, including Caped Crusader.
Thankfully, the series wasn’t deleted for a tax write-off like so many other recent WB properties; but instead sold to Prime Video, with the first of at least two seasons now arriving over three years after the initial announcement. And on a personal note, as a huge fan of Batman: The Animated Series and the Dcau in general, I have been looking forward to this since that initial announcement.

Is “Batman: The Animated Series” the most beloved, well, animated series of the ’90s to not yet receive a reboot? Warner Animation stablemates “Tiny Toon Adventures” and “Animaniacs” have been revived for streamers; when “King of the Hill” comes back (supposedly in 2025), both of Mike Judge’s most popular shows will have made their return; and “The Simpsons” never actually left the air. Now, on the heels of “X-Men ’97” comes “Batman: Caped Crusader” — not an actual continuation of the Warner-produced, Fox-aired Batman saga, but sort of a long-overdue spiritual successor to what many consider the definitive non-comics portrayal of the character. The strongest connection to the previous show: This one is also spearheaded by Bruce Timm, who cocreated the earlier series and remained a dominant force in its development.
This makes “Caped Crusader” both a major event and a potential disappointment; maybe that’s why it’s airing...

Bruce Timm’s Batman: Caped Crusader begins with a group of armed goons getting up to no good in the middle of the night. “There ain’t no freakin’ Batman,” one of them confidently proclaims, only to have the last word cut off by an expertly thrown Batarang. It’s a quick, effective way of telling us where in this oft told and re-told story we’ll be picking up: This Batman might still be early enough in his crimefighting career that his very existence is in doubt, but the caped crusader (gruffly voiced by Hamish Linklater) is no beginner.
Timm, creator of Batman: The Animated Series and Batman Beyond, has described Caped Crusader as less like Frank Miller’s original story comic Year One and something closer to Week Two. This isn’t Christian Bale’s Batman clambering around Gotham with a ski mask and a handful of gadgets.

“The essence of the Penguin is the essence of the Penguin.”
That was Minnie Driver’s response when asked to address fears of potential backlash from hyper-critical fans after “Batman: Caped Crusader’s” announced their decision to gender-swap the villainous Penguin.
“Here’s the thing: If it hadn’t been so beautifully imagined or reimagined, if it had somehow just been shoehorned in to tick some box of ‘Oh, we have to now have a fluidity around characters,’ That’s not it. The essence of the Penguin is the essence of the Penguin,” Driver said. “She’s properly evil. She really does some terrible things, and I hope that she will be embraced as the villain that she always has been.”
She concluded by saying: “The essence of this show is quintessentially Batman. Make no mistake, and the fact that the Penguin is a really terrifying woman speaks volumes about...

Fans at this year's San Diego Comic-Con were treated to an early screening of Batman: Caped Crusader, but the biggest news which came out of the panel relates to a potentially controversial casting decision.
While fans of the Dark Knight's corner of the DC Universe will know the vigilante typically matches wits with Oswald Cobblepot, this 1940s version will have to contend with a new, female Penguin: Oswalda Cobblepot.
Entertainment Weekly caught up with Minnie Driver to discuss her role in the upcoming Prime Video series and the Good Will Hunting star says she jumped at the chance to reinvent such an iconic character. "That's what's so brilliant about what he's reimagined. The expansion of this particular character feels so timely. For such a vintage noir show, it's incredibly modern."
Driver will also get the chance to sing as Batman: Caped Crusader's Penguin, a challenge she was quick to embrace.

The series, created by Bruce Timm, J.J. Abrams, and Matt Reeves, will launch all episodes on Prime Video on August 1.
Previously, Timm stated, "Batman is so early in his career that in the first episode, he’s still an urban myth. It’s not ‘Year One’, it’s more like ‘Week Two.’
Continuing, he added, "I wanted to make him kind of weird, and spooky. If you’re stuck in a room with Batman, whether you’re Commissioner Gordon or Barbara Gordon or Renee Montoya, you don’t feel comfortable. You’re kind of like, ‘What is this guy? What’s this all about?"

A new poster for Batman: Caped Crusader has been released and it sees the Dark Knight walking down what may be a familiar alleyway as the shadows of his villains loom large.
So, who do we see here? Well, from left to right, there's Onomatopoeia, Two-Face, Catwoman, The Penguin, Harley Quinn, and a mysterious masked character we're having some trouble identifying.
There's a lot of intrigue surrounding this series, particularly given the creative team involved. While it isn't the Batman: The Animated Series many fans initially hoped for, it certainly feels like a spiritual successor, even with a vastly different setting - 1940s Gotham City - and a Bruce Wayne who has only just started his vigilante career.
Back to the hero's rogues gallery, though, and it sounds like they'll be undergoing their own reinvention in the Prime Video series.

UnPrisoned is back for a second season of shenanigans, humor, heartfelt moments and more. The Hulu and Onyx Collective series debuted in March 2023 with eight episodes and high ratings for an Onyx Collective premiere.
Based on the life of creator Tracy McMillan, the series follows Paige Alexander (Kerry Washington) as she welcomes her dad Edwin (Delroy Lindo) back into her life after his release from 17 years in prison for dealing drugs. The last season began on Edwin’s release day, and the story continued because Paige decided to let him live with her and her teenage son Finneas (Faly Rakotohavana).
Paige’s inner child (Jordyn McIntosh) also helps her through tough spots in her present life.

Prime Video has released the first clip from Batman: Caped Crusader and it features Gotham City's Dark Knight chasing down some crooks in the iconic Batmobile.
A lot of split screen is utilised here (Ang Lee's Hulk would be so proud) and while this is a kid's show - we recently learned it won't boast a TV-ma rating - Batman isn't holding back as he mows down his foes.
Fans have high expectations for the show, especially as it's a spiritual successor to Batman: The Animated Series. However, the animation style and Bruce Timm's involvement are where the similarities end as this version is a rookie vigilante in 1940s-era Gotham.
It also sounds like Bruce Wayne will take a backseat as we pick up with the billionaire during his "Week Two" as Batman.
As executive producer James Tucker recently put it, "[Batman: Caped Crusader] feels more like an...

Prime Video's Batman: Caped Crusader looks set to put a completely new spin on the iconic DC Comics character. However, when the series was first announced, many fans hoped it might serve as a continuation of Batman: The Animated Series.
After all, it had been confirmed that producers Matt Reeves (The Batman) and J.J. Abrams (Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker) would be joined by the creative mastermind behind the classic series, Bruce Timm.
Instead, the show - which was offloaded by Warner Bros. Discovery to Amazon after originally being developed for Max as part of a series of cost-cutting measures - will take us to 1940s Gotham City and "Week Two" of Bruce Wayne's time as Batman.
Talking to Empire Magazine (via Toonado.com), Timm revealed that Batman: Caped Crusader will make a major change to Bruce's transformation into a masked vigilante...specifically in regards to when he chooses to suit up.

The highly anticipated animated series “Batman: Caped Crusader” is set to offer viewers a fresh perspective on the Dark Knight’s origins when it premieres on Prime Video on August 1, 2024. Bruce Timm, co-creator of the legendary “Batman: The Animated Series” and executive producer of this new project, has revealed intriguing details about the show’s unique approach to the caped crusader’s early career.
In a recent interview with Empire, Timm explained that the series will explore Batman’s earliest days as a crime-fighter. “Batman is so early in his career that in the first episode, he’s still an urban myth,” Timm stated. “It’s not ‘Year One.’ It’s more like ‘Week Two.'” This approach sets “Caped Crusader” apart from other Batman adaptations, which often depict the hero as already established or skip over his initial outings.

Bruce Timm is responsible for Batman: The Animated Series and returns to the Dark Knight's world with next month's Batman: Caped Crusader when the series launches on Prime Video.
Produced by Timm alongside J.J. Abrams and The Batman director Matt Reeves, the series takes place in the 1940s and pulls inspiration from the character's earliest comic book adventures. The setting isn't the only big change, though, as Timm says this story plays out even earlier in Batman's vigilante career than Frank Miller's "Year One."
"Batman is so early in his career that in the first episode, he’s still an urban myth," he tells Empire Online (via Toonado.com). "It’s not 'Year One.' It’s more like 'Week Two.'"
Elaborating on what looks to be a very different approach to Batman, Timm adds, "I wanted to make him kind of weird, and spooky. If you...
