The Sandman was an epic, award-winning comic series. There had never been anything like it before, and the originality was impressive on every level. It was adapted to a live action series on Netflix, and while they changed a lot (largely ties to the rest of the DC Universe), it was very well done. The first season comes to an end (sort of) with “Lost Hearts.”
The final season of Titans continues their version of the Brother Blood saga. Things are definitely different than the classic story from Wolfman and Perez, but there are some interesting twists and turns along the way.
A lot has been said about the various Sony Spider-adjacent movies. The latest (and reportedly last) of these, Kraven, is no exception.
The trailer is out for James Gunn’s Superman. It’s hard to tell a lot from a small slice, but here are my initial reactions.
He has changed and grown a great deal through the course of the two seasons of his Disney+ series, and now that it has reached an end in “Glorious Purpose,” a phrase that’s been part of Loki’s mythos throughout his MCU journey.
Young Justice has been a great show with a very interesting take on the DC Universe. They are great at making some changes but managing to respect the original characters and concepts.
But Sony kept cranking out various movies with Spider-Man related characters that the general public was likely unfamiliar with. The only one of these to meet any measure of success was Venom, who is now back for his third and final (allegedly) outing in Venom: Last Dance.
In this episode, we see a sort of mini-crossover and have a special guest star, and which one is easy enough to guess from the title “Wildest Dreams.”
I’m going to give a brief recap of the history of the group in the comics. There will be spoilers, but it’s to a story that started in 1997, so I kind of feel that the prohibition there is long gone. The team using that name has undergone a lot of different changes.
With the usual amount of chaos and absurdity, the Doom Patrol returns for its fourth and final season. Last season shook up some of the status quo, and now they’re following up on that with at least a partial new direction, new leadership, and a lot more of the same craziness we’ve come to expect.
