For years now, audiences have sensed something was off about Netflix’s original movies. They look expensive, they feature major stars, and yet many of them feel strangely hollow—over-explained, oddly paced, and forgettable almost the moment the credits roll. Now,...

According to Variety, Barry Keoghan is expected to return as the Joker in Matt Reeves’ The Batman: Part II. The character was teased at the end of 2022’s The Batman — Keoghan was only credited as “Unseen Arkham Prisoner” — though Reeves later confirmed the character’s identity.
Industry projections for Supergirl and Clayface are not positive. Matt Belloni of Puck News included the DC Comics’ films on his list of red flags for Warner Bros. in 2026.

According to Cosmic Book News, the backlash for the Supergirl trailer has been more severe in its first 24 hours on YouTube than the Superman trailer received its first six months. Keen-eyed viewers of the Supergirl trailer noticed that while Superman was celebrated for saving a town, all she’d done was rescue some cats. Now, it seems she’s failing to measure up in another, more quantifiable way.
