Happy Friday, crusaders! Today’s news comes to you from beneath the person-eating pile of work that landed on me this morning. Let’s see what’s new in the world of DC, shall we? The Suicide Squad cast is official! And it includes Will Smith as Deadshot, which is simultaneously nothing I ever considered and awesome —…
The DC Daily Planet: Cancellations and Crossovers
Happy Friday, crusaders! I’m still in a fugue state from my intake of turkey and starches yesterday. If you’re reading this from the States, I hope you had a happy Thanksgiving yesterday, and that you didn’t lose power. If not, I hope you had a great day that still managed to have pie in it….
By Hera! Michelle MacLaren to Helm Wonder Woman
We told you a few weeks ago that Warner Bros. was seeking a female director for the Wonder Woman movie, and sought — and found — one they have! Michelle MacLaren (Breaking Bad, The X-Files) has been signed to direct and help develop the movie. I have to say, I had my fingers crossed for a female…
Da-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-DC Daily Planet
Happy Friday, caped crusaders! DC has their spandex in a twist because the Valencia Club de Fútbol uses a black bat in their logo, and everyone knows black bats are the property of Batman, Inc. Better fork over some cash to Wayne Industries and start fighting crime in your downtime, guys! Are you a savvy…
Seeking: News Writers
In case you didn’t know: Women do write about comics, guys. Seriously, a lot. Our beat is comics, creators, and geek culture from a feminist perspective. We are committed to intersectionality and internationality (our diverse staff hails from Canada, the UK, Switzerland, Brazil, and the United States).

International Men’s Day: Spotlight on Cartooning from Trans Men
This interview (at the Good Men Project, but stay with me) with Dylan Edwards is a good introduction to his Lambda Literary Award nominated book, Transposes — stories of men who are both trans and gay. A foreword from Alison Bechdel and a cover that features tap-dancing both entice, and the focus of Edwards’ book is supported…
The DC Daily Planet: First Looks!
It’s the end of another week, caped crusaders, but not the end of my coffee for the day. Go ahead and check up on DC, while I get a refill, okay?
DC Offers Up Fanfic for CONVERGENCE; Takes All My Money [Gif]
Okay, everyone, hold the phone. Just stop. Right where you are. I said stop. Are you stopped? Okay, good. Now sit down, because, if you’re like me, you’re going to need a second to collect yourself after I tell you this: CONVERGENCE is basically going to be the DC fanfic of your dreams, and we…
The DC Daily Planet – Divergence! Wait, no.
Look, I know there’s only one real piece of news out of the DC PR machine today, but there’s more to talk about that just The Rock’s Shazam movie, and whether or not it’ll be independent from the rest of the DC oeuvre, okay? (As a side note, do you ever find you self-trend specific…
The DC Daily Planet: Casting Call
Happy Halloween, caped crusaders! I know masked justice belongs in the stark shadows of Gotham’s alleyways, but if you’re wandering about masked in broad daylight today, leave me a comment with your costume!
Marvel Event Watchalong with WWAC
Marvel Studios is currently hosting a liveblogged event to announce… Well, something. Guesses thus far include: a Captain Marvel movie, Spider-Man joining the Avengers, Black Panther, or something as mundane as confirming Benderwaht Cummberbund as Doctor Strange. Personally, I’m holding out for a Howard the Duck reboot. Updates as they happen! 2:15pm…
Scariest Movie of My Life: Event Horizon
I will be the very first to admit that when it comes to slowly building tension, dimly-lit hallways, and ominous music rooted in an ever-increasing progression of minor chords, I am a wimp. I don’t like scary movies, and never have. As a child, I was so terrified by my older sister’s description of The…
