WORLD PREMIERE OF BATMAN: RETURN OF THE CAPED CRUSADERS AT NEW YORK COMIC CON
WARNER BROS. HOME ENTERTAINMENT TO DEBUT FULL-LENGTH ANIMATED FEATURE FILM OCTOBER 6 ON MAIN STAGE OF JAVITS CENTER
ADAM WEST HEADLINES POST-PREMIERE PANEL
BURBANK, CA (August 25, 2016) – In poetically appropriate fashion, Batman: Return of the Caped Crusaders will have its World Premiere in Gotham itself as Warner Bros. Home Entertainment debuts the full-length animated Batman feature film on Thursday, October 6 at New York Comic Con.
Available November 1, 2016 on Blu-ray™ Combo Pack and DVD, fans will get their first chance to see the film during a two-hour premiere and Panel starting at 5:30 PM on New York Comic Con’s Main Stage at the Javits Center.
Adam West (Batman) headlines the post-premiere Panel alongside director Rick Morales (LEGO® DC Comics Super Heroes – Justice League: Cosmic Clash) and screenwriters Michael Jelenic (Teen Titans Go!) and James Tucker (Justice League vs. Teen Titans). Tucker and Jelenic also serve as Supervising Producer and Producer, respectively, on the film. Warner Bros. Animation President and the film’s Executive Producer Sam Register will moderate the festivities.
Produced by Warner Bros. Animation and DC Entertainment, the film takes fans back to the 1960s as Batman and Robin spring into action when Gotham City is threatened by a quartet of Batman’s most fiendish foes – Penguin, The Joker, Riddler and Catwoman. The four Super-Villains have combined their wicked talents to hatch a plot so nefarious that the Dynamic Duo will need to go to outer space (and back) to foil their arch enemies and restore order in Gotham City. It’s a truly fantastic adventure that will pit good against evil, good against good, evil against evil … and feature two words that exponentially raise the stakes for both sides: Replicator Ray. Holy Multiplication Tables!
Batman: Return of the Caped Crusaders will be available to own on Digital HD starting October 11, 2016.
Spoilers follow for Doctor Strange.
Don’t read what follows if you don’t want to know as a writer on the movie accidently spoiled things.
If you are a fan of Doctor Strange the following info shouldn’t be all that surprising. In addition, a Doctor Strange LEGO set references the character.
Recently it was confirmed that Community writer Don Harmon has been brought on board the Doctor Strange movie to do some additional last-minute scenes; however, the news about Harmon on Doctor Strange was first revealed accidently at Comic-Con.
Don Harmon was a part of the Harmontown podcast at the SDCC where he showed off how to screenwrite during a live writing segment. A fan in attendance managed to record the event and took a screen shot of Harmon’s assitance’s computer which shows off that Harmon has been working on Doctor Strange.
The screenwriting program reveals that Doctor Strange confronts Dormammu as well as scenes involving Mads Mikkselsen’s character Kaecilius’ seduction, and numerous scenes involving a magical mystery, new church and rituals. A reference also seems to be made to a Mirror Realm.
You can watch the Hybrid Network video below which further explains things.
“Doctor Strange” has a November 4, 2016 release starring Benedict Cumberbatch, Rachel McAdams, Tilda Swinton, Chiwetel Ejiofor and Mads Mikkelsen.
Synopsis:
Marvel’s Doctor Strange follows the story of the talented neurosurgeon Doctor Stephen Strange who, after a tragic car accident, must put ego aside and learn the secrets of a hidden world of mysticism and alternate dimensions. Based in New York City’s Greenwich Village, Doctor Strange must act as an intermediary between the real world and what lies beyond, utilising a vast array of metaphysical abilities and artifacts to protect the Marvel cinematic universe.

Comic-Con saw a new Wonder Woman trailer released, and now footage of Gal Gadot‘s reaction to the trailer has hit the net.
Watch below as Gal Gadot sees the footage and obviously likes (as do we all) what she sees. The Wonder Woman Comic-Con trailer can also be found below.
Gal Gadot first appeared in Batman Vs. Superman, and following Wonder Woman will star in Justice League which is out November 17, 2017.
“Wonder Woman” has a June 2, 2017 release directed by Patty Jenkins also starring Chris Pine, Connie Nielsen, Robin Wright, David Thewlis, Danny Huston, Elena Anaya, Ewen Bremner, and Saïd Taghmaoui.
Synopsis:
Before she was Wonder Woman, she was Diana, princess of the Amazons, trained to be an unconquerable warrior. Raised on a sheltered island paradise, when an American pilot crashes on their shores and tells of a massive conflict raging in the outside world, Diana leaves her home, convinced she can stop the threat. Fighting alongside man in a war to end all wars, Diana will discover her full powers…and her true destiny.

August x, 2016 – Captain America is coming home to a heroic welcome with a statue dedication ceremony in Brooklyn’s Prospect Park on Wednesday, August 10th. Since his creation in 1941 by Jack Kirby and Joe Simon, Captain America has gone through numerous evolutions, but always remains as one of the world’s most influential and inspiring Super Heroes. Following its debut at Comic-Con International in San Diego and a cross-country journey, the 13 foot tall, 1-ton Captain America tribute will arrive to Brooklyn, NY – the hometown of Steve Rogers – for a two week engagement in Prospect Park, kicking off with the August 10th dedication ceremony and community event.
The dedication ceremony will be hosted by Lorraine Cink, actor and host of THWIP! The Big Marvel Show and The Marvel Minute, with special guests including Marvel Comics’ Editor-in-Chief Axel Alonso, Brooklyn Borough President Eric L. Adams, the New York City Joint Service Color, and the creative team who designed the statue including sculptor Dave Cortes.

In the evening, a special viewing of the recent blockbuster film, Marvel’s Captain America: Civil War, will take place in Prospect Park to culminate the Brooklyn Borough President Eric L. Adams’ “A Summer Movie Under the Stars” program.
After the two-week stop in Prospect Park, the Captain America statue will move to the plaza outside Barclays Center on Atlantic and Flatbush Avenues for September, during which several Marvel fan activations will take place. From late October through the remainder of the year, the statue will adorn the soon-to-be-opened Bed Bath & Beyond® in Sunset Park, Brooklyn.

Whoops! We’ll leave it to the excitement of Comic-Con for the following Spider-Man: Homecoming spoiler accidently revealed by Tom Holland.
The films sees Spider-Man having mechanical web shooters, with footage revealed at Comic-Con of Peter Parker secretly making web fluid in class. Now Tom Holland offers further details about Spider-Man’s webbing to Entertainment Tonight while being interviewed at the SDCC.
“We working on different ways of doing it,” Holland said about Spider-Man’s wrist movement that shoots the webbing. “For different types of webs, you see. There’s not just [makes the number one with his hand]… Oh, I might have given something away there.”
Tom Holland continues and shows off the classic Spider-Man wrist movement with mention they are doing something in Spider-Man: Homecoming (in addition to the new wrist movements and webbing accidentally mentioned above) that hasn’t been seen before in any of the movies.
“It’s like this. What we really want to try and [show] is grabbing the web,” Holland said. “We’ve never seen anyone… It’s always just like ‘it sticks to him, so now we have to grab [the web].’ So that’s our big thing of the moment.”
Regarding the different types of Spider-Man webs, the news shouldn’t be all that surprising as Spider-Man spins various webs in the comics (and previous movies) which range from his webline to small structures (parachutes) to thicker webs to web balls.
“Spider-Man: Homecoming” has a July 7, 2017 release directed by Jon Watts starring Tom Holland, Zendaya, Michael Keaton, Donald Glover, Jacob Batalon, Laura Harrier, Tony Revolori, Tyne Daly, Bokeem Woodbine, with Marisa Tomei, and Robert Downey Jr.
Synopsis:
A young Peter Parker/Spider-Man (Tom Holland), who made his sensational debut in Marvel Studios’ “Captain: Civil War,” begins to navigate his newfound identity as the web-slinging superhero in “Spider-Man: Homecoming.”
The Season 2 finale of The Flash saw Barry go back in time to save his mother which will impact Season 3 as the timeline has been altered.
The title of the first episode of Season 3 is “Flashpoint,” which fans will recognize as the similar DC Comics storyline.
Talking at Comic-Con with Kevin Smith and IMDb, Grant Gustin reveals why Barry went back in time.
“People were like, ‘Why did he do that?’ And I think that he wasn’t going to do that, but I think that sitting on that porch, having just defeated Zoom, Iris says to Barry what he’s always wanted to hear, and he feels empty inside,” explained Gustin. “That was the moment… As selfish as it was that Barry wanted his parents, I think it’s more about ‘these two speedsters took away their life because of me and they deserve to have a chance at life. I can’t do this, I need to give them that chance.'”
Supergirl has also come over to The CW for its Season 2, and Kevin Smith asked The Flash cast if any of the first few Season 3 scripts have mentioned Kara Danvers. Gustin says the scripts haven’t and offers The Flash Season 3 isn’t totally about Flashpoint (note: The CW announced a mega DC TV crossover which will feature Supergirl).
“Not yet,” Gustin responded when asked if a Supergirl storyline was involved in the first few Flash Season 3 scripts. “It’s pretty Flashpoint focused right now, which I think we are going to see the repercussions coming out of Flashpoint. There will be ramifications all season long from Flashpoint.”
Smith then asks if it’s an all-season Flashpoint.
“I think we can state Flashpoint does not last all season long,” Gustin said. “But there are permanent ramifications.”
“The Flash” Season 3 premiers Tuesday, October 4th also starring Jesse L. Martin, Tom Cavanagh, Candice Patton, Danielle Panabaker, Carlos Valdes, Keiynan Lonsdale and Tom Felton.
Watch The Flash Season 3 Comic-Con trailer:
Superman Henry Cavill recently posted two videos on his Facebook page from Comic-Con.
The first video apparently shows Henry Cavill getting his picture taken for CG-work in Justice League (or a promo), which borrows a song from Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy, perhaps signifying it’s cosmic-related.
“Heading home now…Thank you Comic Con. #JusticeLeague #SDCC2016 #BeamMeUp,” Cavill posted.
The second video sees Henry Cavill donning a V For Vendetta mask hitting the Comic-Con floor and surprising an unexpected Will Smith and the cast of Suicide Squad.
See below.
“Justice League” has a November 17, 2017 release directed by Zack Snyder starring Ben Affleck as Batman, Henry Cavill as Superman, Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, Jason Momoa as Aquaman, Ezra Miller as The Flash, Ray Fisher as Cyborg, J.K. Simmons as Commissioner Gordon and Willem Dafoe as an Atlantean.
Following Easter Egg videos for Justice League and Wonder Woman, the Mr. Sunday Movies YouTube channel presents the Doctor Strange Comic-Con Easter Eggs.
Watch below.
“Doctor Strange” has a November 4, 2016 release starring Benedict Cumberbatch, Rachel McAdams, Tilda Swinton, Chiwetel Ejiofor and Mads Mikkelsen.
Synopsis:
Marvel’s Doctor Strange follows the story of the talented neurosurgeon Doctor Stephen Strange who, after a tragic car accident, must put ego aside and learn the secrets of a hidden world of mysticism and alternate dimensions. Based in New York City’s Greenwich Village, Doctor Strange must act as an intermediary between the real world and what lies beyond, utilising a vast array of metaphysical abilities and artifacts to protect the Marvel cinematic universe.
Both Ezra Miller and Colin Farrell star in Fantastic Beasts (Farrell is also rumored for the DCEU), with MTV catching up with the actors at Comic-Con.
Ezra Miller discusses working on Justice League where mention of Black Flash comes up. Miller obviously knows his comics.
“When we were driving in here [to Comic-Con], you know the Black Flash, which is the character representative of Death for The Flash?” Miller said. “There was a really good Black Flash costume, and as I was driving by with the window open in my car, he pointed at me. And I was like, ‘I’ll be seeing you, man. I will be seeing you.’ I said that to him and he was like [points finger]. It was amazing [laughter].”
Ezra Miller also offered he loves to put on his Flash costume, with the “awesomeness” outshining the discomfort, and says he has done a lot of improv for his character in Justice League.
“I certainly have been… I have said very few lines the way they were written. I’m going a little crazy,” Miller said with a laugh.
Miller also says working on Justice League has been a blast.
“It’s just everything you hoped for and more. It’s an outrageous amount of fun. I spend every day in a state of sheer ecstasy.”
Ezra Miller talks Justice League, The Flash and Pokemon Go starting around the 6-minute mark in the video below.
“Justice League” has a November 17, 2017 release directed by Zack Snyder starring Ben Affleck as Batman, Henry Cavill as Superman, Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, Jason Momoa as Aquaman, Ezra Miller as The Flash, Ray Fisher as Cyborg, J.K. Simmons as Commissioner Gordon and Willem Dafoe as an Atlantean.
Check out video below featuring Marvel Studios president and producer Kevin Feige talking about what to expect from Spider-Man: Homecoming and its sequels.
Of interest is that Feige says they have talked about going the Harry Potter route by doing further Spider-Man movies set in each grade of Peter Parker’s high school.
Feige also notes that Tony Stark created Peter Parker’s Spider-Man costume, and we have yet to see all its capabilities.
Regarding the villain of the movie, Vulture, Feige said Vulture’s origins and powers are tech-based and not super powers.
Watch below.
Tom Holland also recently said Spider-Man: Homecoming is intense featuring heavy hitters.
“Spider-Man: Homecoming” has a July 7, 2017 release directed by Jon Watts starring Tom Holland, Zendaya, Michael Keaton, Donald Glover, Jacob Batalon, Laura Harrier, Tony Revolori, Tyne Daly, Bokeem Woodbine, with Marisa Tomei, and Robert Downey Jr.
Synopsis:
A young Peter Parker/Spider-Man (Tom Holland), who made his sensational debut in Marvel Studios’ “Captain: Civil War,” begins to navigate his newfound identity as the web-slinging superhero in “Spider-Man: Homecoming.”
Comic-Con saw it announced that Michael B. Jordan is playing the super villain in the Marvel Studios Black Panther movie with Erik Killmonger, a character in the comics that’s capable of going toe-to-toe and defeating T’Challa.
MTV caught up with Michael B. Jordan following the Marvel Studios panel and asked about getting the role questioning if there was any hesitance in not having the starring role. Jordan noted it was nothing about being the “alpha,” (but since he recently starred in Creed and as a hero in Fantastic Four), the only thing that worried him was playing a bad guy.
“My only hesitation was playing a villain,” Jordan offered. “It was always something that I’ve wanted to do — to play something completely different than any other character that I’ve ever played before. And under the right circumstances, this being it, you know. I feel safe. I feel safe to take those risks. Take those chances. That’s what I’m about to do.”
Watch more in the video below.
Black Panther opens February 16, 2018 directed by Ryan Coogler starring Chadwick Boseman.
Will we ever see Benedict Cumberbatch and Tom Hiddleston on screen together?
Now that both English actors are a part of the Marvel Cinematic Multiverse, it could happen, which more than likley would be with one of The Avengers: Infinity War movies (or maybe Thor 3?).
Following the recent Doctor Strange panel at Comic-Con, MTV caught up with Benedict Cumberbatch where they chatted about Tom Hiddleston. MTV said we need to see the two together in a film now that they are in the Marvel Universe.
“I know. I know. We’ll see. Stuff could happen,” Cumberbatch responded with a big grin.
Benedict Cumberbatch also talked about his character, Doctor Stephen Strange, and said he’s arrogant and a “douche,” – similar to Tony Stark – and that they are using some humor as well. Cumberbatch also added that the Doctor Strange movie is dark and serious, but again, does have humor.
Watch more in the video below.

Doctor Strange Comic-Con trailer:
Comic-Con saw Marvel Studios announce that Brie Larson will play Captain Marvel in Avengers 3 as well as the solo movie.
As we all know, the fans can get a little nutso, and it turns out Brie Larson was worried about their reaction.
Larson took to Instagram to share her thoughts and feeling about the Captain Marvel reveal noting “it was nerve-racking to trust fall into the Internet!”
However, everything seems good as the internet has embraced Brie Larson as Captain Marvel, and Larson seems at ease as well as she recently took to Twitter to have a little fun at Captain America Chris Evans’ expense.
The Captain Marvel movie hits March 8, 2019.
Here is the text and image of what Brie Larson posted:
Woke up this morning thinking about the tidal wave of support I got this weekend. It was nerve-racking to trust fall into the Internet! I know who I am, but its wild how quickly you can forget once someone calls you something terrible. I was reminded how the acceptance of community is a deeply rooted need – but I don’t want to live worried people will hate me because I’m myself! We should all have the freedom to be our authentic selves without fear or judgement. It’s scary to chip away at all the hardness we coat ourselves with to protect that perfect little being inside. Yeah, people can be mean, but they can also be so many other wonderful things too. Let’s make this place a safe space. No hate and more understanding. To the followers that are new: welcome! Sometimes I let people take over my Instagram to share their views of the world. That’s coming up next. Thanks for joining us!
Joss Whedon just said he wouldn’t mind tackling the Black Widow movie, well, how about an episode of The Flash?
Members of the press caught up with Grant Gustin at Comic-Con where the actor let it be known that Whedon happens to be a big fan of the series.
“I met Joss Whedon last night,” reports CBR. “Yeah, that’d be really cool. He was a really nice guy and he loves the show. He’s seen every episode of the show.”
Joss Whedon recently directed Avengers and Avengers 2 for Marvel. At one time he was involved with a Batman and Wonder Woman movie at WB, which caused a bit of bad blood between the two, but that was years ago. Whedon has since left Marvel (but did state he wouldn’t mind returning), and with Whedon’s success on TV with Buffy, Angel, Firefly, etc., The Flash would be a perfect choice.
I wouldn’t actually mind seeing Whedon jump ship and come on board the DCEU as well.

Some online retailers are already selling the Quasar figure, but at a pretty high price (cheapest I found was around $14). I’m betting once they are in Target and Walmart at the end of the month/August the price will drop.
Comic-Con saw Hasbro announce a slew of new figures to the line including a special Collector’s Vault set with Cosmo, Moonboy, Howard the Duck, Lockjaw and more, and the following:
• X-23 Wolverine
• Marvel’s All-New Iron Man
• Moon Knight
• Spider-UK
• Lady Deadpool
• Maestro
• Groot
• Rocket Raccoon
• Star Lord
• Gamora
• Rogue
• Morbius
• Hydro-Man
• Black Panther (Movie)
• Sharon Carter (Movie)
• Captain America
• Marvel Now Iron Man

IDW Publishing and DC Entertainment Announce Two New Crossovers
New Batman/TMNT Adventures and Star TrekTM/Green Lantern Crossovers Forthcoming
San Diego, CA – IDW Publishing and DC Entertainment will continue their successful editorial mash-ups and bring fans two new comic book crossovers based on some of their most popular properties, including a sequel to the smash-hit co-publishing venture Star Trek/Green Lantern and an all new crossover with animation-inspired versions of Batman and Nickelodeon’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
“We’re very happy to extend our ongoing relationship with DC with these iconic characters in new storylines,” says Greg Goldstein, President and COO of IDW Publishing. “Fans who enjoyed the previous series will enjoy the fun, new adventures we have in store for these upcoming titles.”
Captain Kirk and the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise will once again cross paths with the Green Lantern Corps in a sequel to last year’s Star Trek/Green Lantern series. The creative team of Mike Johnson and Angel Hernandez will reteam for another epic space opera, this one picking up the new status quo where it left off and introducing additional cosmic heroes and villains familiar to fans of both series. This series is slated for a winter 2016 launch.
Following the recent success of Batman/TMNT, IDW, DC, and Nickelodeon are also happy to announce another pairing between the Caped Crusader and the Ninja Turtles: Batman/TMNT Adventures, coming this November. Based on the animated versions of both series, this storyline for fans of all ages will bring the Dark Knight of the beloved Batman: The Animated Series in contact with Nickelodeon’s animated Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The dynamic duo of writer Matthew K. Manning (Beware the Batman) and artist Jon Sommariva (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Amazing Adventures) will team on the series.
“The previous Star Trek/Green Lantern and Batman/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles crossovers were a huge hit with fans of each of the characters,” said Hank Kanalz, DC SVP of Editorial Strategy and Administration. “Bringing these characters back again, and expanding Batman and the Turtles to the realm where they’re most recognized by comic fans and fans of the TV series will make for a great story that any fan can’t wait to read.”
“It’s always a blast to pair up beloved characters in comic series, and our recent pairings with DC have been especially satisfying on a creative level and in regards to fan satisfaction, too,” said Chris Ryall, IDW’s Chief Creative Officer. “Being able to bring Ciro Nieli’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to the amazing animated Gotham envisioned by Bruce Timm and Eric Radomski is a major bonus.”
Stay tuned for more upcoming news regarding these massively popular pairings from two of today’s most premier comic book publishers.
Syfy Renews Wynonna Earp from SEVEN24 Films and IDW Entertainment
Season Two Picked Up For 10 One-Hour Episodes
San Diego, CA – SEVEN24 Films and IDW Entertainment, a subsidiary of IDW Media Holdings (OTC PINK: IDWM), today announced that Syfy has renewed Wynonna Earp for a second season. The announcement came during the Wynonna Earp panel at Comic Con International in San Diego where the full cast appeared as guests. The freshman series scored big with both critics and fans, becoming a hit on social media, spawning hashtags, and trending weekly with each new episode. It recently nabbed the E! News TV Scoop Award for Best New Series of 2016.
Developed by Showrunner and Executive Producer Emily Andras, the series stars Melanie Scrofano, Shamier Anderson, Tim Rozon, Dominique Provost-Chalkley, and is based on the IDW Publishing comic book series created by Beau Smith.
“In just one season, Wynonna Earp has struck a chord with the fans,” said IDW Entertainment President David Ozer. “We look forward to continuing this epic journey.”
“I’m absolutely thrilled we have the opportunity to deliver more of our witty, female-led, kickass, diverse supernatural series to our passionate fan base around the world,” said Emily Andras.
“The strong female characters in this series have turned viewers into passionate fans,” said SEVEN24 Films’ Jordy Randall. “We can’t wait to see our amazing cast back in the roles that Emily has crafted for them.”
SEVEN24’s Jordy Randall and Tom Cox, IDW’s Ted Adams and David Ozer, Banditos Yanquis’ Todd Berger, and Circle of Confusion’s Rick Jacobs will all serve as Executive Producers.
Season two is set to air on Syfy in 2017.
It’s going to take a lot from Marvel to get the Cosmic fans back on board, but at retailer presentation at Comic-Con, Marvel took a step in the right directio by officially revealing that Richard Rider will be back in November as a new Nova #1 launches.
The bad news is that Rider’s replacement that Jeph Loeb created when they cancelled the title along with Abnett and Lanning’s Guardians of the Galaxy is in the book as well.
Bleeding Cool reported on the matter noting it was said Richard Rider returns to the role of Nova, and that the title will feature both Sam Alexander and Richard Rider.
I’m still remaining skeptical as they could still be using Rider just to further cement NINO as Nova some where down the line, and they also replaced Wendell Vaughn as Quasar once again.
No creative team on the new Nova has been announced, but it won’t be written by Dan Abnett, who recently signed exclusive with DC Comics and is writing Aquaman and Titans.
I also can’t help but wonder if Marvel will announce Ed McGuinness or Steve McNiven on the title and give it a hundred variant covers to boost sales. Here’s hoping.
