“ The bright future is (hopefully) in progress.”   The DC Comics’ beloved virtual event is back! Now with more news and announcements to offer, DC FanDome 2021 holds its global event again. The event officially commences at 10am PT on October 16, 2021 (00.00 WIB, October 17). We, as the (super) hungry (and desperate) DC fans, cannot wait for the bright future that might be coming through next year ’s movie line-up, starting  with Matt Reeves’ The Batman (March 2022), to Jaume Collet-Serra’s Black Adam (July 2022), Andy Muschietti’s The Flash (November 2022), and lastly James Wan’s Aquaman & The Lost Kingdom (December 2022).  Unlike last year ’s event, this 2021 DC conference does not have the schedule of the panels, so like it or not, we have to watch the entire event to see our most-anticipated ones. So, what are the good news that DC FanDome has given to the fans? Here is the recap for today’s event. Awesome things are on the way. (Note: I’m mostly recapping the ...

"What's the like? Living life as a punchline?" When Warner Bros. was not satisfied with the critics of the preceding Suicide Squad (2016), they didn’t joke around. Instead of creating a tight-to-its-predecessor sequel, they tried to revive what has been ‘dead’ and hired another director to helm the soft-reboot movie: a standalone sequel starring (almost) new faces, now hitting theaters and HBO Max under the title The Suicide Squad . At the moment, this movie is holding a solid 92% score on Rotten Tomatoes. Most critics praise its entertaining ride and gore elements that strengthen the movie.

Four years already. Is it worth the wait? Or is it just a waste of time? Zack Snyder’s Justice League  has been through a lot of things (more like obstacles) since 2017.

Now debuts freshly on Rotten Tomatoes with a 78%,  Zack Snyder’s Justice League  has been called as a big improvement to its previous version, the 2017 theatrical release Justice League which garnered mixed reviews from both critics and moviegoers.

Another good news for Snyder fans right here! Celebrating the three years anniversary of Justice League on theaters, the man and the myth himself aka the director Zack Snyder had his own live streaming via Vero–doing a teaser breakdown on the latest black and white teaser Justice League , which is slated to be released in 2021 only on HBO Max! It is still unknown regarding the specific release date, but maybe it is somewhere in May 2021 or around it.
