PREPARE YOURSELVES FOR KOMBAT!

Those who were looking forward to Robert Pattinson's return as Bruce Wayne/ Batman in Matt Reeves' "The Batman Saga" will have to be extra patient with the next movie's release, as the untitled sequel to 2022's "The Batman" has been delayed yet again - this time to October 2027 and due to work still being needed to finish the script for the follow-up.
On Threads, DC Studios head James Gunn confirmed and gave an explanation for the delay:
"Sure. Yes, it is true. The only reason for the delay is there isn’t a full script (those of you who follow me here probably know that already). Matt is committed to making the best film he possibly can, and no one can accurately guess exactly how long a script will take to write. Once there is a finished script, there is around two years for pre-production, shooting and post-production on big films."
Recently the first spin-off series in "The Penguin" finished its first season run on Max, with Colin Farrell returning as Oswald Cobb/ The Penguin in a story set after the events of "The Batman" and explaining the origins of not only Oz but the various Gotham crime families like the Falcones and Maronis as well.
At long last and just before the year ends, Warner Bros., James Gunn, and DC Studios have FINALLY released the first teaser trailer for “Superman” - which stars David Corenswet as Clark Kent/ Superman, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor.
Here’s the trailer, and I reacted to it as soon as it debuted.
Superman will be released on July 2025 in cinemas worldwide.
At long last, the world finally gets its first look at Todd Phillips long awaited sequel to 2019’s “Joker” - as the very first trailer for “ Joker: Folie à Deux” is here and shows off Joaquin Phoenix’s Arthur Fleck meeting Lady Gaga’s Harley Quinn in a love story that’s part musical, part insanity.
Joker: Folie à Deux will be released this October.
With The Batman 2 delayed to October 2026, fans of Matt Reeves’ 2022 reboot of the Caped Crusader and his newly established world shouldn’t worry about a follow-up - as the long awaited “The Penguin” live-action TV series is coming on fall this year to Max and now has its first official teaser trailer released!
Check out the trailer below, with Colin Farrell reprising his role as Oswald “Oz” Cobblepot!
The Penguin will start streaming on Max this fall!
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.
The Monsterverse will continue once more with a new follow-up to the 2021 big monster smackdown film “Godzilla Vs Kong” that will now see The King of Monsters team up with his nemesis turned ally, as Warner Bros. Discovery and Legendary have released a brand new poster and trailer for “Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire” - which is slated to be released in theaters next year!
Check out the trailer below as released online after its premiere on CCXP ‘23!

Get ready to shout “KHAJI-DA!” with some Philippine pride in mind when you go to see “Blue Beetle” in theaters, as Warner Bros. Philippines has announced that Filipina voice talent and content creator Inka Magnaye is voicing the Scarab in the Philippine release of the superhero movie!
Here’s the press release from WB themselves:
MANILA, August 2 – Warner Bros. Philippines has announced today that Filipina voice talent and content creator Inka Magnaye will voice the Scarab – an ancient alien relic pivotal to the titular DC Super Hero’s story – for the Philippine release of Warner Bros. Pictures’ upcoming action-adventure “Blue Beetle.”In the film, the Scarab, called Khaji-Da, guides Jaime Reyes (played by “Cobra Kai” breakout star Xolo Maridueña) and helps him discover – and learn to control – his seemingly limitless new powers on his journey to becoming the Super Hero Blue Beetle. In the original version, the Scarab is voiced by singer/actress Becky G.Filipino talent Inka Magnaye – considered to be royalty in the niche voicework industry in the Philippines – brings her own distinct charm to the voice of the Scarab. Some of the character’s lines are even in Tagalog! Something Pinoy fans should look out for.
Magnaye, whose rich body of work includes voicework for Philippine Airlines (hers is that very soothing voice in the Philippine flag carrier’s in-flight instructional safety announcement), Pond’s, Smart, Globe, Nissin, Mitsubishi, and popular podcast “Sleeping Pill With Inka,” is the first Philippine-based Filipino talent to do voice-over work in a DC film. She will be properly credited too; watch for Magnaye’s name in the credits!
