Green Lantern and Daredevil (Vs. The Hate Monger!)

 

I'm hoping that we get a trailer for the HBO Max Lanterns series soon.  It looks like Aaron Pierre as John Stewart will be the main GL of the DCU, and I am interested to see what he will do with the role. I've only heard him speak with his actual English accent, so I am looking forward to his vocalization of the character - I still hear Phil LaMarr in my head when I see John Stewart on the printed page. 

Deathlok and Lothar

 

Looks like we will be seeing Lex Luthor on the big screen again sooner than we thought, with Man of Tomorrow scheduled to hit theaters in just two years.  Supposedly Lex and Superman will have to join forces against a larger threat - it has to be Brainiac, right? I have a suspicion that we may see Lex even before that though - I don't think an appearance on Peacemaker season 2 is out of the question.

Daredevil and Rose & The Thorn

 

Rose & The Thorn was a cool back up series.  It's too bad that the character has slipped through the cracks.  DC needs more heroines that are not just female versions of previously existing male heroes.

Daredevil and Static

 

There has been some talk of a Static movie in the works, and I thought that possibly it would have been announced as part of James Gunn's DC plans.  Static has crossed over with the DCU in the comics and in the animated shows as well, so I thought that maybe there was a chance.  It looks like the Milestone characters will get their own cinematic universe.  Let's hope they get started soon, it's getting crowded out there! 

Superman and Mandrake the Magician

Given Superman's vulnerability to magic, I am surprised that he wasn't paired up with DC's mystical characters more often.  He didn't have much interaction with Doctor Fate or The Spectre, despite their Justice Society of America connection.  Zatara was also introduced in Action Comics #1, and yet I don't recall if they ever shared an adventure together... which would have been cool to see.

Doctor Strange and Mandrake

Yes, a love interest has already been established for the cinematic Doctor Strange, but I still hope that there is a way for Clea to be introduced in the sequel.  The first film did such a great job of incorporating so much of Strange's world, and her absence was the only notable missing piece for me.  Even with Captain Marvel coming up, the studio could use more female heroes, so why not her?

Todays cover comes about from a suggestion by Ken Roskos, a Patron of this blog.  Thanks, Ken!

Zatanna & Zatara and Thor

Presenting the conclusion to our Three-Part Epic!

I have heard that the post-credits scene for Doctor Strange will feature a teaser for the events that will unfold in Thor: Ragnarok.  Hopefully that means we will start seeing some promotional material for that film soon - I am very curious to see how Valkyrie, Hela, The Executioner and The Grandmaster will look in the film, not to mention a peek at the otherworldly locales and Hulk's battle armor.

The Defenders and The Defenders of the Earth

I remember seeing The Defenders of the Earth for the first time and it really appealed to the crossover fan in me.  The Phantom, Mandrake and Flash Gordon seemingly had nothing to do with each other, representing different types of heroes and coming from different eras.  That just made it all the more intriguing to see them together.  It was ideas like that which inspired this blog.
