On this week's "Arrow", Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell) continues to walk down memory lane of seasons past as we revisit Hong Kong in the build-up to "Crisis".

Oh, "Supergirl"! Will you ever not have to tangle with the problems of alter-ego Kara Danvers (Melissa Benoist)? Not with this week's "Blurred Lines"...

We're even getting 60's Batman "boy wonder" Burt Ward making an appearance. If that wasn't enough, Tyler Hoechlin and Elizabeth Tulloch are returning as "The Man of Steel" and Lois Lane… alongside another of the crossover's Supermen: Brandon Routh (DC's Legends of Tomorrow), returning to the cape for the first time since his cinematic turn in Superman[...]

Superman has been in many iconic roles throughout comics history One specific role that comes to mind is from Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns This was published by DC Comics from February to June 1986 This story takes place in a darker DC universe where Superman is almost in the president's pocket and Batman[...]

In this week's "Black Lightning", Freeland isn't getting much better - and neither are Lynn and Jefferson - in "The Book of Occupation: Chapter Three."

As Kate Kane (Ruby Rose) continues to fall down "The Rabbit Hole," this week we go "Down, Down, Down" even further in this week's "Batwoman".

Our old friend George Gene Gustines has been writing in the New York Times about the upcoming Superman secret identity reveal, which we saw a lot more of in the January 2020 DC Comics solicitations. And in doing so he was most kind to link to Bleeding Cool over our speculation as to how this twist[...]

Could they really be doing Superman revealing his true identity to the world as Clark Kent – or Clark Kent revealing his true identity as Superman – depending on your point of view, be happening again? It's only been a few years since the last time, and we thought that DC Comics would be taking[...]

The CW's "Arrow" is back with a final season opener that's super "Crisis"-y: setting up the crossover while reminding us of what makes the show so special.

  Pre-Crisis interpretations of Superman generally assumed that Clark Kent was the "mask" and Kal-El the person In the final pre-Crisis Superman story by Alan Moore and Curt Swan, Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow?, when Superman's dual life is revealed, he completely abandons his Clark Kent persona In the sixties, when Kent found himself[...]

Arrow is shuffling off the network's programming coil after an abbreviated 10-episode eighth season (making The Flash the "elder states-show" of the "Arrowverse"), Ruby Rose-starrer Batwoman joining the family alongside Supergirl, and a looming "Crisis on Infinite Earths" crossover that could change things dramatically – including Black Lightning this time around. The CW DCU 2019-2020 season[...]

We're even getting 60's Batman "boy wonder" Burt Ward making an appearance. If that wasn't enough, Tyler Hoechlin and Elizabeth Tulloch are returning as "The Man of Steel" and Lois Lane… alongside another of the crossover's Supermen: Brandon Routh (DC's Legends of Tomorrow), returning to the cape for the first time since his cinematic turn in Superman[...]

That brought him to an alternate Earth, directly into the Oval Office of Solitude, where the president… is Superman? And it looks like President Superman is undergoing impeachment proceedings in his world as well… except it looks like the House, in this case, is empowered with more than just normal subpoenas. Thankfully, Wally is there to save[...]

The CW's "Batwoman" continues its freshman season as things get "curiouser and curiouser" (in the parlance of Lewis Carroll).

In the following preview for the next episode of The CW's "Supergirl," Kara and the team face-off with some tech "big bads" while J'onn is under attack.

Hope you brought your Lewis Carroll, because we're following Kate down "The Rabbit Hole" in the next episode of The CW's "Batwoman".

Before New York Comic Con, I became aware of a slight kerfuffle on the private Comic Book Retailer/DC Comics Facebook group, and it was all over the Joker: Year of the Villain #1 Retailer Gift Variant Edition, with a very nice Brian Bolland variant cover. Bleeding Cool already reported on the free copies of which, that[...]

With DC Universe's adult animated take on "Harley Quinn" set to premiere next month, Kaley Cuoco and more take viewers behind the scenes of the series.

The CW's "The Flash" is back for a sixth season premiere - one that was a little too dull for our liking, an uncharacteristically… ahhem… slow start.

We've officially made it to one of the greatest months of the year: October – which means The CW's "Arrowverse" shows have started sticking some sweet superhero three-point landings with the returns fans have seen so far. Arrow is shuffling off the network's programming coil after an abbreviated 10-episode eighth season (making The Flash the "elder[...]

And in today's Superman comic, as Damian Wayne has to come to terms with a returning Superboy who had lived another seven years in space without him, and has gone from being younger than Damian to being older – and everything else… …celebrates the only way they know how. That's definitely not a veggie kebab[...]

Superman #16 is in stores from DC Comics this week, from the creative team of "The Great One" Brian Bendis and David Lafuente, and we've got a preview below, liberated from a compliant DC media partner website. The book is also available with a DCeased variant cover. The issue starts with a flashback, Jonathan Kent sending his[...]

Jonathan Samuel Kent, the son of Clark Kent and Lois Lane, was created as a character by Dan Jurgens for the Convergence: Superman series, though playing on previous alternate history versions of who the children of the two stalwarts of DC Comics would be. He was later established by Jurgens as the son of a previous[...]

Case-in-point, the following two examples. In the first, Elizabeth Tulloch posted a #tbt image of herself with Tyler Hoechlin as they were about to begin filming their returns as Lois Lane and "The Man of Steel." Following that is another of the crossover's Supermen: Brandon Routh (DC's Legends of Tomorrow), returning to the cape for the first[...]

As Barry (Grant Gustin) and Oliver (Amell) shared what felt like a final toast and Kate Kane's Batwoman (Rose) returned to protecting the streets of Gotham – with a sense that something felt a little off – we got a small taste of what's still to come in 2019… CW "Crisis on Infinite Earths!" Worlds will live![...]
