Welcome to the first week of DC Rebirth and the ongoing saga of What Is Up With Those DC Films. This week, four titles of the new DC Rebirth initiative came out, including Superman Rebirth #1, Batman Rebirth #1, Green Arrow Rebirth #1, and Green Lantern Rebirth #1. I’ve heard some surprisingly good things about…
DC Daily Planet: Rebirth Has Breached the Canal
Hey readers! It’s Ray Sonne, filling in as your host of the DC Daily Planet until we find your next newscaster. And man, what a week. Spoilers for Rebirth and DC movie news ahead.
DC Daily Planet: Hello, Goodbye
Hello all! One thing before we get started today: this is my last DC Daily Planet post for the near future! I’ve had some exciting opportunities come up that I need to devote some time to — but fear not! I’ll (hopefully) be back and bringing you the very soap box laden news in no…
DC Daily Planet: Supergirl, Powerless, and the Countdown Continues
It’s been a big week for TV news with both cancellations and series pickups rolling in at breakneck speed. CBS’s Supergirl is making the network jump to the CW to begin filming in Vancouver rather than Los Angeles. What this move means for returning cast and future storylines is yet to be determined but after…
DC Daily Planet: Countdown to Rebirth
It’s official. We are 3 weeks out from the start of Rebirth, the event that has given me an essentially nonstop tension headache since, like, February. I’ve been a lot of things about Rebirth since it’s announcement, both here and on social media — anxious, angry, hopeful, deeply stressed, excited — but now, as it…
DC Daily Planet: Still Gloomy
Before I start this week’s news post, I want to take some time to give a small update on last week’s situation as it’s unfolding right now. The conversation about Eddie Berganza that was ignited by Shelly Bond’s dismissal from Vertigo last week is still ongoing. More outlets and insights from various corners of the…
DC Daily Planet: Grey skies over Vertigo
Well, this week started out pretty slow but that all changed yesterday. In a shocking move, it was announced that Vertigo was restructuring and, as part of that restructuring, celebrated long time editor and Vertigo vice president, Shelly Bond, was being let go from the company due to her “position being eliminated”. The timing of…
DC Daily Planet: Young Animal! Challenges! ECCC!
And we’re back after an accidental week off thanks to some planning miscalculations on my part. This past weekend was Emerald City Comic Con and while the DC news outpouring was pretty light compared to Wondercon, there’s still a pretty decent list of things to be covered. Let’s jump right in. Young Animal, a new…
DCDP Rebirth Roundup: The good, the bad, and the concerning.
If you’ve been following along with my (admittedly all over the place) twitter feed at all this weekend, some of this is going to sound pretty familiar to you. Wondercon was this weekend and with it came a flood of information and announcements regarding DC’s new not-a-reboot event, Rebirth, followed up by an official list…
DC Daily Planet: Wondercon and The Calm Before the Storm
Here we are. The final moments of calm before the storm of Rebirth is actually upon us in full force. Next week is Wondercon, and DC’s scheduled press event to unveil the Rebirth creative teams and details. If you’re anything like me, you’ve been making yourself sick with anxiety over the whole affair so having…
DC Daily Planet: Can You Kill the Killing Joke?
This week’s DCDP is gonna be a little different. Let’s talk about the Killing Joke. I doubt I need to do much of an introduction for it. It’s arguably one of the most famous Batman stories of all time (for a lot of shitty reasons and some pretty valid ones too.) But just in case…
DC Daily Planet: Go on tour with Black Canary
Welcome to the end of a blissfully slow news week here in our little corner of the DCU. Things have settled down in a major way but this calm is likely only going to last another two weeks or so before major events like the Wondercon Rebirth announcements, the solicits for June, and the release…
