It’s April 24, 2024 - Today The Flash Vanishes In The Future

 

If you are a fan of The Flash and have followed the television series released under the “Arrowverse” on The CW, then you’d know that today’s date is significant as far as a certain timeline in a possible future of the show goes!

On April 25, 2024 The Flash goes missing and vanishes during a crisis - alluding to Barry Allen’s sacrifice during the events of “Crisis On Infinite Earths” as depicted during the famous comic book crossover event but of course happening differently in the Arrowverse. Since the CW Flash series ended nearly two years ago it never managed to reach this date - but the plotline was resolved and retconned eventually during the show’s run and Barry survives and gets his happy ending in the end with his lady love Iris West Allen and his friends.

Still we honor this date in popular culture history, and so did the official The Flash FB page and Barry Allen actor Grant Gustin on his official Instagram!

Sonic The Hedgehog 3: Keanu Reeves is Voicing Shadow The Hedgehog

 

Looks like the way past cool Sonic Movie franchise is adding another big action star to its impressive cast of voice talents, as The Hollywood Reporter has announced that Keanu Reeves - star of The Matrix and John Wick films, has been cast to voice Shadow The Hedgehog in the upcoming “Sonic The Hedgehog 3”!

The Batman 2 Delayed One Year, Will Be Released on October 2026

 

Those looking forward to the return of Matt Reeves’ world of Gotham City and its vigilante defender will have to wait a little bit longer, as Deadline has broken the news that Warner Bros. has delayed the tentatively titled “The Batman 2” - moving its released date from October 2025 to October 2026.

The delay is said to be due to the aftereffects of the dual strike that hit Hollywood last year which caused several projects to be affected and pushed back. Matt Reeves of course is working on the sequel to the hit 2022 reboot that saw Robert Pattinson play Bruce Wayne and don the cape and cowl - and where he faced Paul Dano’s Riddler and had romantic tension and chemistry with Zoe Kravitz’s Selina Kyle/ Catwoman.

The Batman of course is a DC Elseworlds project and will not share the same shared universe as James Gunn’s DC Universe of films. While fans will have to wait a bit longer for Pattinson’s return as the Caped Crusader, there’s a consolation in the form of Max’s upcoming “The Penguin” TV series later this year - which is a spin-off series and where Colin Farrell reprises his role as Oswald Cobblepot.
