In 2014, Arrow actor Stephen Amell teased that his show was only the beginning of what Warner Bros had planned for a version of the “Justice League on TV.” At the time it seemed like wishful thinking, with The CW network just securing their first superhero hit and the genre still largely unproven on television. The second season saw the introduction of Barry Allen and The Flash, followed later by Legends of Tomorrow - broadening the canvas for all the DC comic book-based stories that could be told on network TV....

A new teaser for American Horror Story 1984 doubles down on the ‘80s slasher movie-inspired story, while also promoting what looks to be a killer (not sure if the pun is intended) spoof of movies like Friday the 13th and Sleepaway Camp. It can sometimes be difficult to tell whether or not Ryan Murphy and AHS are deliberately trying to be funny or if any perceived humor is accidentally the result of the show’s fondness for extreme exaggeration....

In order to comply with a ruling from The Netherlands authorities, late on Friday Apple announced that it would allow developers of dating apps to offer alternative payments systems other than Apple’s In-App Purchase system, thereby circumventing Apple’s traditional 15-30% IAP cut. However, Apple will still charge a commission on these purchases regardless (details yet to be disclosed). However, implementing this will not be straightforward. Developers will need to create and maintain a completely separate app binary which includes special entitlements, and is only made available in the Netherlands App Store....

Warner Bros. executives and Aquaman producers discuss the upcoming DC Comics movie directed by James Wan, teasing a new path for the DCEU.

The last DC offering, 2017’s Justice League, underperformed both with critics and at the box office....

There isn’t a single character in the ensemble cast of Arrested Development that isn’t hilarious in their own way. Fans of the show would be hard-pressed to pick a favorite, because they’re all hysterical, from Tobias to Lucille to George Michael. However, if those fans had a gun put to their head and were forced to name their favorite character, a lot of them might say Gob, because he’s funny for a few reasons: he only wants what he can’t have, how he describes something is never how it actually happened, and he’s determined to make it as a magician despite being terrible at magic....

Warning: SPOILERS ahead for Avengers: Infinity War - Marvel may not have a Hall H panel at Comic-Con this year, but it wouldn’t be Comic-Con with at least some Marvel presence - and attendees can catch an early look at one of the deleted scenes from the upcoming Blu-ray release of Avengers: Infinity War. The movie arrived in theaters in April, and has so far grossed more than $2 billion worldwide - stunning audiences with a cliffhanger ending that killed off half of all people in the universe, including half of all the superheroes....

The surviving MCU heroes and Captain Marvel come together in a stunning fan-created Avengers 4 poster. Marvel Studios may be capping their year early with Ant-Man & The Wasp hitting theaters this week, but that doesn’t mean that there are not enough things to talk about regarding the franchise.

Director Zack Snyder has confirmed that the version of Steppenwolf glimpsed in a Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice deleted scene was completely scrapped and redesigned for Justice League.
