NBC has officially picked up the DC comedy series Powerless, which stars Vanessa Hudgens, and released a first look at Hudgens as Emily as well as a peek at Crimson Fox.
Emily is described as: a spunky young insurance adjuster specializing in regular-people coverage against damage caused by the crime-fighting superheroes. It’s when she stands up to one of these larger-than-life figures (after an epic battle messes with her commute) that she accidentally becomes a cult ‘hero’ in her own right … even if it’s just to her group of lovably quirky co-workers. Now, while she navigates her normal, everyday life against an explosive backdrop, Emily might just discover that being a hero doesn’t always require superpowers.

You can watch the first part here.
SPOILER ALERT: This video recaps crucial plot points in several of DC’s animated movies, including Justice League vs. Teen Titans!
Over the past ten years, DC’s animated movies have continued to thrill fans with their breathtaking action, cool characterizations and stories inspired by or adapted directly from acclaimed graphic novels. We’ve already pulled together one list of our top ten favorite moments, but with so many movies and scenes to choose from, we couldn’t help going back for seconds. Here are ten MORE unforgettable moments from your favorite DC animated movies.
Watch a breakdown of the latest Suicide Squad “Blitz” trailer below from DC All Access.
It was like lightning. Everybody was fighting. Yes, we’re talking about the brand new Suicide Squad trailer, which serves up a new dose of villainous mayhem to the tune of the 70s glam-rock classic, “Ballroom Blitz.” But if you want to know the comic references beneath the killer riffs, you’ll want to check out our exclusive DC All Access trailer breakdown. It’s sweet! The trailer breakdown, we mean.
“Suicide Squad” has an August 5, 2016 release date directed by David Ayer starring Will Smith as Deadshot, Jared Leto as the Joker, Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, Cara Delevingne as Enchantress, Jai Courtney as Boomerang, Joel Kinnaman as Rick Flag, Viola Davis as Amanda Waller, Adam Beach as Slipknot, Karen Fukuhara as Katana, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje as Killer Croc, Jay Hernandez as El Diablo, and Scott Eastwood in an unknown role.
DC Comics unveiled the cover of their upcoming free June Previews catalog for their Rebirth event which features a new look at the characters.
You can also check out the Rebirth featurette above and over 100 Rebirth images.
See more info below.
DC Entertainment June Previews Catalog Available at All Comics Retailers April 13
Catalog Previews DC Universe: Rebirth titles, Vertigo titles, Upcoming Collected Editions, Original Graphic Novels and DC Collectibles, plus Bonus Behind the Scenes Features on Line Wide Title Re-launch This Summer
Last month at WonderCon, hundreds of fans in person and hundreds of thousands of fans online were among the first to hear the news about DC Entertainment’s line wide DC Universe: Rebirth publishing initiative, introduction of the new creative teams, exclusive talent signings, new titles and more. DC Entertainment is now giving fans the chance to choose which titles they’ll be picking up in June by making available their June Previews solicits catalog as a magazine, available for free at comic book stores nationwide.
This 96-page full color magazine features details on DC Comics Rebirth titles, as well as June Vertigo titles, new products from DC Collectibles on sale in September and new original graphic novels like Teen Titans Earth One Vol. 2 (on sale August 10), in addition to DC and Vertigo collected editions scheduled for July. In contrast to the digital version of the catalog, this physical version will include bonus behind-the-scenes details on DC Universe: Rebirth, including a foreword/introduction from DC Entertainment Chief Creative Officer and Rebirth “architect” Geoff Johns, details on his DC Universe: Rebirth Special (on sale May 25), Rebirth title roundups and interviews with the artists and writers that will help Geoff re-shape the DC Universe and usher in a new age of epic superhero storytelling.
Written by Johns with art by Ethan Van Sciver, Ivan Reis, Phil Jimenez and Gary Frank, the DC Universe: Rebirth Special gives readers 80 pages of a mystery surrounding the current DC Universe for only $2.99, and will set the table for a complete re-launch of character-specific Rebirth titles, followed by new issue #1’s featuring the heroes and villains that make up this new universe. Beginning in June, 17 titles will ship twice monthly, with an additional 14 titles shipping monthly, all at a new, lower price of $2.99. Throughout the summer and into October, additional titles will get the Rebirth treatment – a Rebirth one-shot, followed by a new issue #1.
More details on DC Universe: Rebirth Special, along with the new title lineup and creative teams can be found by checking out the recording of the live stream from WonderCon, available at the DC Entertainment YouTube channel, or on the DC All Access app, available at the iTunes App Store and Google Play.
This past weekend at WonderCon saw DC Comics release details and images for their upcoming Rebirth event.
One of the bigger and most surprising items to come out of the announcement is that DC Comics is going to reveal the Joker’s name.
In a previous issue of Justice League, Batman asked the all-knowing Mobius Chair what is the name of the Joker. The reader wasn’t given the answer, but Batman replied with, “That’s not possible.”
Following the WonderCon announcement, IGN caught up with Geoff Johns who offered a further update about the Joker name reveal.
“We are going to find out what he heard in Darkseid War,” confirmed Johns. “And it’s going to lead to something else.”
When we first reported on the Joker reveal, our post went viral reaching nearly a million people. Many of the fans mentioned they don’t want to know the name of the Joker. Johns comments on that as well.
“But the answer probably won’t be an answer that people predict,” Johns teased with a big smile.
DC Comics “Rebirth” kicks off May 25th with an 80-page special written by Johns priced at $2.99.
Check out the video below of Geoff Johns talking Rebirth and the Joker’s name reveal, as well as Joker teaser art released at WonderCon.

Update #2: Geoff Johns teases more about the Joker name reveal (video).
Just announced at WonderCon, it’s revealed DC Comics will reveal Joker’s real name.
Fans will recall back in Justice League #42 when Batman sat on the Mobius Chair that he asked it two questions: Who killed his parents (answer: Joe Chill), and what is the Joker’s real name?
Batman responded, “That’s not possible.”
Well, DC never revealed the answer, but now they will.
At the big Rebirth panel at WonderCon, both Geoff Johns and artist Jason Fabok announced they are revealing what the Mobius Chair said and unleashed the following teaser art:

DC Entertainment Launches New Talent Development Workshops For Aspiring Writers and Artists
In an effort to find new and aspiring comic book talent, DC Entertainment has launched Talent Development Workshops for both writers and artists, led by bestselling and acclaimed comic talent including Jim Lee, Geoff Johns, Scott Snyder, Klaus Janson and Andy Kubert. The series of workshops are designed to give access and a voice to new and prospective talent, providing an opportunity to showcase their work following intensive DC workshop sessions.
Online applications for DC’s Artists Workshop will be accepted April 1-30, 2016 while applications for the Writers Workshop will be accepted May 1-31, 2016. DC’s new Talent Development website offers extensive tips, advice and recommended reading to help potential applicants navigate the submission process. Both workshops will take place in fall 2016.
“Our goal is to identify and foster fresh, new voices,” stated DC Entertainment Co-Publisher and bestselling artist, Jim Lee. “The new DC Talent Development Workshops will play a vital role in discovering and developing the next generation of comic talent.”
“I’ve brought in a lot of new writers to DC, both from within and outside of comics, for Rebirth, working with them closely as we rebuild our universe,” stated DC Entertainment Chief Creative Officer, Geoff Johns. “The creative growth of DC comes from new voices joining the mix, both writers and artists, and it’s been an absolute highlight to work with them.”
Bestselling Batman writer Scott Snyder added, “I’m so proud and honored to be heading up DC’s Writers Workshop. Teaching has always been a passion of mine, and getting to help welcome and coach new voices at a company that’s given me so many creative opportunities is a tremendous thrill.”
About the Artists Workshop
The 2016 Artists Workshop was developed by DC with world-renowned artists Jim Lee, Klaus Janson and Andy Kubert and follows a successful pilot program that took place in fall 2015. Visit DCComicsTalentWorkshop.com to view artwork completed by pilot program students.
Competitive candidates will have an established portfolio of sequential art and illustrations. For the artists selected via the online submission process, the Workshop will provide the knowledge and exposure required to cross the threshold into the competitive world of comic book publishing. Chosen artists will be asked to complete art assignments that will be critiqued by several top DC Artists. If the artists achieve the level of work required for the course they will then be invited to a two-week, intensive workshop at DCE’s Burbank offices.
About the Writers Workshop
The 2016 Writers Workshop was developed by DC with bestselling writer Scott Snyder and follows a successful three-month pilot program. For selected candidates, the first part of the 2016–2017 DC Comics Writers Workshop will run October 2016–January 2017 as an online real-time, weekly interactive seminar, for thirteen consecutive weeks. Each seminar will teach a new skill essential for surviving and excelling in this highly competitive field. Following the initial Workshop, a smaller hand-selected group of those participants will be invited to DCE offices in Burbank for an intensive writing experience, featuring guest speakers currently working in comic books, including a mix of editors, writers, artists and the Talent Development staff.
Upon completion of the Master Class program, DCE’s Talent Development group will ensure successful participants are considered for positions on current DC titles.
Check out a video above with the cast of Batman vs. Superman talking with DC All Access.
Worth a mention is that toward the end of the movie Ben Affleck says he and DC Entertainment chief creative officer Geoff Johns are working together on something.

Synopsis:
Super Hero High is buzzing with excitement over new student, Supergirl. But when Supergirl crash lands into the cafeteria, it’s evident that though she has incredible power, she has a long way to go before she becomes a Super Hero. Too intimidated by the other supers to ask them for assistance, Supergirl turns to helpful I.T. girl, Barbara Gordon. Barbara takes Supergirl under her wing and introduces her to the sweet, old librarian, Granny Goodness. As Barbara helps Supergirl learn to harness her powers, Wonder Woman joins them and becomes a mentor and friend to Supergirl. Meanwhile, the Junior Detective Club (The Flash, Bumblebee and Hawkgirl) investigates a mysterious rash of security breaches centered around the teleportation “Boom Tubes.” Could it all be because of reformed Super-Villain and Super Hero High Vice-PrincipalGorilla Grodd – or something far worse?

Check out a first look at Crimson Fox in the new DC TV series headed to NBC with Powerless as the pilot filmed in Vancouver last week.
Crimson Fox is a rather obscure DC character who has appeared in the pages of Green Lantern and Justice League Europe. Her powers include the ability to use her pheromones to manipulate men, she has super speed and agility, and also a twin sister. Similar to the comics, we see in the set pics that Crimson Fox also sports razor sharp talons.
Powerless stars Vanessa Hudgens and is described as a workplace comedy set at one of the worst insurance companies in America — with the twist being that it also takes place in the universe of DC Comics. It’s was also previously said the focus of the series is on the ordinary, “power-less” folk working at the insurance company who often envy the men and women outside their window who make headlines with their supernatural powers.
