In what will certainly get viewers talking and curious once more as an unrated version of his latest film looms on the horizon, director Zack Snyder has teased his director’s cut of “Rebel Moon Part One” as being “More Brutal, More Bizarre… A Lot of Sex” - making the PG-13 one currently streaming on Netflix look pale in comparison to his upcoming extended feature of the new Sci-Fi movie.
In an interview with SFFGazette, the 300 and Man Of Steel director didn’t hold back in describing his director’s cut:
"Way more brutal. More bizarre. Verhoeven-esque. More RoboCop than you know... in the way that it uses violence as another character. And there's a lot of sex in it, and sci-fi fantasy."
Take that as you will. Rebel Moon is currently streaming on Netflix, with Part Two set for release on April 2024.
December 28 will always hold a special place in the hearts of Marvel Comics fans and True Belivers, as this day would have marked the 101st birthday of the late, great Stan Lee!
Born Stanley Martin Lieber in 1922, the late comic book writer and publisher was responsible for co-creating some of the most iconic characters known in comics today - namely the X-Men, Fantastic Four, the Avengers, Hulk, Iron Man, and of course The Amazing Spider-Man. It’s also been five years since the legend’s passing - and we all miss him dearly as he was always a known presence and figurehead of Marvel and the comic industry in general who yelled “Excelsior” whenever he wanted to shout and cheer about something.

On September 5, 1992, Fox Kids aired “Batman: The Animated Series” - a critically acclaimed animated series based on the DC Comics superhero Batman. Developed by Bruce Timm and Eric Radomski, the show would tackle the adventures of The Dark Knight and his ongoing crusade against crime - defending his hometown of Gotham City against the likes of The Joker, Penguin, and Two-Face while also gaining allies in his fight for justice like Commissioner Gordon, Robin, and Batgirl.
The series would jumpstart the DC Animated Universe, and would gain a significant following in the years leading many to consider it the definitive Batman series. The late great Kevin Conroy was cast as Bruce Wayne/ Batman, while also featuring Mark Hamill (aka Luke Skywalker) as the voice of The Joker. Additionally, the character of Harley Quinn made her debut in this show - first appearing in “Joker’s Favor” and played by the wonderful Arleen Sorkin, who sadly passed away just last month.
31 years later BTAS still holds up pretty well, and is the go to recommendation for anyone who wants to get into Batman and his world.

No release date or details have been given for these figures yet, but stay tuned as Hasbro will probably follow up with an announcement soon.
“Knock Knock Puddin’! Say hello to your new and improved Harley Quinn!” - Harley Quinn to Joker
Hollywood, the comic book community, and the world of popular culture has lost a true talent and gem - as screenwriter, actress, comedian, and original Harley Quinn voice actress Arleen Sorkin has sadly passed away at the age of 67. It was truly depressing news delivered by so many news outlets and those close to the entertainer who have known her, and the entire world mourns the loss of one of the brightest and energetic ladies to ever grace the entertainment scene.
Best known for her role as Calliope Jones in the NBC series “Days Of Our Lives”, Sorkin would explode into the critically acclaimed “Batman The Animated Series” by playing the role of The Joker’s female sidekick and girlfriend Harley Quinn - first appearing in the episode “Joker’s Favor”. The character was created by writer Paul Dini - who derived inspiration fron Sorkin herself as both were friends during college and the actress was cast in the role by him and BTAS series creator Bruce Timm. Harley’s role would prove so popular that she would return for many more episodes and appear in the rest of the DC Animated Universe - before being adapted properly in the pages of DC Comics and then appearing in several other forms of media, becoming one of the most prominent modern DC characters ever created and played by other actresses including Tara Strong and Margot Robbie in the DC Extended Universe.
Arleen would also reprise her role as the former psychologist turned anti-hero in the video games Batman: Arkham Asylum and DC Universe Online. She will be greatly missed, and the world would never know Harley Quinn without her as the source of inspiration for the character.
“But I know the truth. There’s no going back. You’ve changed things… Forever.”
