Last month, the "Crisis on Infinite Earths" logo sparked some controversy when the stars of every Arrowverse show appeared, except one: Oliver Queen. Crossover producer Marc Guggenheim soon revealed "legal and financial issues" were to blame. However, those appear to be resolved, as Stephen Amell has taken his rightful place in the latest iteration of the logo.
DC's Legends of Tomorrow leader Sara Lance, aka White Canary, takes the "C," while The Flash features prominently in the "R." The Monitor, the character who launched this crossover event, stars in the "I," with Supergirl landing in her signature "S" and Batwoman taking the second "I." Finally, Green Arrow takes aim in the final "S."
Oliver Queen is, of course, the man who started it all. Arrow began in 2012 and went on to launch The Flash, Supergirl, DC's Legends of Tomorrow and -- most recently -- Batwoman. Even after the series concludes next year, Arrow will be the gift that keeps on giving for The CW, with the launch of upcoming spinoffs Green Arrow and the Canaries and Superman and Lois.
"Crisis on Infinite Earths" begins Sunday, Dec. 8 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Supergirl, then continues in Batwoman on Monday, Dec. 9 at 8 p.m. ET/PT and in The Flash on Tuesday, Dec. 10 at 8 p.m. ET/PT. After the winter hiatus, the crossover will conclude on Tuesday, Jan. 14 in Arrow at 8 p.m. ET/PT and in DC's Legends of Tomorrow at 9 p.m. ET/PT.
Former mixed martial arts competitor Gina Carano made her Star Wars debut in last week’s episode of The Mandalorian, and the actor has since reflected on her experience bringing the wanted Cara Dune to life, praising the help and guidance of episode director Bryce Dallas Howard.
Highlighting Howard’s passion, Carano credited her positive energy for helping them get through long, 18-hour days. She also recalled how Howard kept her entertained throughout the day with stories from her past growing up in the industry.
“My director for #Episode4 of @themandalorian #BryceDallasHoward @brycedhoward has a fire in her eyes and a laugh that will echo through a studio and have you smiling for no reason," Carano wrote on Instagram. "She’ll sit down with you after an 18 hour day and have the same positive energy as she had in the early morning. She teaches makeup tricks and tells stories about being in this business her entire life, having seen it from every department. I just adore you and hope every dream your heart makes comes true. A passionate director who takes care of her actors and the story. Thank you for teaching me so much. I like this photo cause she looks fierce.. we joke about how we are completely cast for the opposite roles but how much we’d like to trade places... the thing is.. she is a badass, real life super woman.”
Created by Jon Favreau, The Mandalorian stars Pedro Pascal, Gina Carano, Carl Weathers, Giancarlo Esposito, Emily Swallow, Omid Abtahi, Werner Herzog and Nick Nolte. The first four episodes are streaming now on Disney+.
After years of demand, fans have finally been treated to the first look at Marvel's Black Widow, in which Scarlett Johansson's super-spy confronts the ghosts of her past. Set between the events of Captain America: Civil War and Avengers: Infinity War, the film reunites Natasha Romanoff with old friends -- or, rather, "family" -- and foes alike.
Each of those characters is firmly rooted in Black Widow's comic book history, but they can be a bit dizzying for anyone entrenched in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but not necessarily conversant in the source material. Let's dig into the dossier and find out just who Black Widow will fight, who will help her out, and who might stab her in the back.
Let's get the obvious out of the way first. Yes, Black Widow will indeed feature Scarlett Johansson in the role she has played since 2010's Iron Man 2. Known as Natasha Romanoff when she's not undercover, much of Black Widow's history in the MCU remains a mystery, even after her many appearances.
The film will pull the covers off much of that mystery, as it takes place within Black Widow's past. The film should finally reveal what motivated her all of these years, right up until her heroic sacrifice in Avengers: Endgame. That no doubt includes the guilt behind her red-soaked ledger, her history as a ballerina, and the Red Room experiments that honed her body to physical perfection.
The main feature of the trailer is the fight between the titular character and a blonde counterpart she refers to as "sis." Fans of the comics will recognize her as Yelena Belova, Natasha's attempted successor who sometimes is an ally and other times is an enemy.
Trained to replace Natasha, Yelena actually surpassed all of Natasha's records in the Red Room before setting out to try to kill her and establish her superiority. From there the character has had a strange history involving briefly becoming a robotic Super-Adaptoid. But even sticking to the more typical cloak-and-dagger direction of the film, it's difficult to classify her as an ally or a threat without knowing more.
An extreme deep-dive into a much more obscure character, Rachel Weisz's Melina shares a Red Room history with the Natasha similar to Yelena.
Because Melina could never quite top Natasha's skill, she eventually donned power armor to become Iron Maiden. Almost certainly a villain in waiting for Natasha, if Iron Maiden does don her power armor she'll not only be far stronger than Natasha, but completely resistant to the Widow's Bite that is her signature weapon.
David Harbour's Alexei Shostakov is possibly one of the most important characters in Natasha's history. In the trailer he dons the Red Guardian costume he is best known for, but in the comics his history dates back to well before he wore the mask.
Initially Natasha was brainwashed to believe her service to the government resulted from the debt she felt after the death of her heroic husband. Alexei was that husband, but his demise was a ruse so he could serve as Russia's answer to Captain America.
While not particularly tied to Black Widow in the comics, Taskmaster's debut in the MCU nevertheless has been hotly anticipated. The mercenary villain is best known for his ability to perfectly mimic physical movements of his opponents, and he carries an arsenal of weapons that permits him to better imitate his foes. The trailer even shows him shooting a bow much like Hawkeye, and with Taskmaster copying all of Black Widow's moves to use against her, it's difficult to say how she could possibly come out on top in a fight.
Not all of the characters seen in the teaser are new to the MCU. The opening moments of the trailer depicts flashbacks to earlier films, with Nick Fury and Hawkeye appearing prominently. Both have lengthy histories with Black Widow in the comics, but even on screen they are known as allies and confidants. It's unknown if they will appear in the timeline of the film itself, but Black Widow is a perfect place to further explore those relationships.
Also seen in the new footage is William Hurt's "Thunderbolt" Ross. While the character is best known for his association with the Hulk, his appearances in Civil War and Infinity War established his growing presence in the government's ranks. Taking a personal investment in the affairs of superheroes through the Sokovia Accords, it's entirely possible that the film could set Ross up for future appearances in his persona as Red Hulk.
Directed by Cate Shortland, Black Widow stars Scarlett Johansson as Natasha, Florence Pugh stars as Yelena, David Harbour as Alexei aka The Red Guardian and Rachel Weisz as Melina. The film opens May 1, 2020.
As one of the most powerful comic book characters ever, Superman has accomplished an incredible number of impressive feats over the years. However, just because he almost always emerges victorious he hasn't won every battle. Throughout his comic career, Superman has suffered a great number of defeats from all sorts of powerful beings.
Granted, while it makes sense for foes like Darkseid and Doomsday to get the upper hand over the Man of Steel, many other less powerful opponents have managed to take Superman down. Looking into some of the hero’s more unlikely losses, here is our list of 10 times Superman was defeated by a mere mortal.
10 Muhammad Ali
After being significantly depowered by an alien race, Superman found himself in a boxing match with none other than Muhammad Ali. While this is an incredibly silly story it is still an excellent, fun read featuring the Man of Steel. Likewise, with Ali’s reputation as a boxer, seeing the two duke it out actually made the story incredibly entertaining.
After a few rounds, it seemed like the two were evenly matched. Even a depowered Superman was still able to hold his own in a boxing ring. Eventually, though, Ali’s skills actually managed to overtake Superman’s own. After knocking Superman out, Muhammad Ali became one of the few mere mortals to have defeated Superman.
9 Karate Kid
Despite having no actual superpowers of his own, Val Armorr has still managed to take Superman down. Known as the Karate Kid on the Legion of Superheroes from the 31st century, Val’s advantages in combat are simply that he is just a great fighter. In his time as a comic book character, Val’s combat skills have been an invaluable asset to the team.
Though Clark Kent was still known as Superboy at the time, he possessed almost all of the same abilities that he’d have as Superman. Because of this, Val’s takedown of Superboy is all the more impressive. Though it is something that he likely won’t be able to do it again, it is enough of a feat to land him on this list.
8 Joker
Though Joker is almost always a Batman villain, he has actually beaten the Man of Steel several times. In one of the more popular instances, Joker stole the powers of Mr. Mxyzptlk for himself, using these magical abilities to beat Superman and also murder Batman again and again. However, Joker technically wasn’t a mere mortal in this instance.
Despite this, DC has proven that the Joker can actually beat Superman, even without powers. In the popular Injustice storyline, Joker managed to completely break superman after tricking him into killing Lois Lane. While this event ultimately resulted in the Joker’s death, it could still be viewed as a victory for the Clown Prince of Crime.
7 Harley Quinn
Even the Joker’s girlfriend has managed to knock Superman down. Recently, as part of Harley’s Little Black Book, Quinn informs readers of the time that she herself knocked Superman out cold. Suspiciously though, a lot of the details she gives feel reminiscent of Superman’s fight with Muhammad Ali.
Though this story is pure fun and not even canon, it is still interesting to think that Harley could knock out someone like Superman. Furthermore, whether it actually happened or not, Harley herself believes it to be true, which we're going to call close enough for this list.
6 Green Arrow
While Oliver Queen has yet to truly face off against Superman in a one-on-one match, he has still managed to take him down in the past. Though he almost always had assistance of some sort, Green Arrow has done a lot to weaken Superman in stories like The Dark Knight Returns and Injustice.
Currently, Oliver is actually in possession of a weapon that could wipe out the entire Justice League. Gifted to him by Martian Manhunter, Oliver was chosen based on his heart and moral character. Furthermore, based on Martian Manhunter’s description alone, this is a weapon made to kill gods. Oliver certainly has what it takes to beat the Man of Steel now.
5 Professor Ivo
As one of the most brilliant minds in all of DC, it is a shame that Professor Ivo decided to use his talents for evil. Though he is a lesser-known villain, Ivo is most famous for designing and constructing the Amazo android. With the power to mimic the abilities of those in the Justice League, Amazo has continually been a problem for the team over the years.
On several occasions, Amazo has managed to take down the entire Justice League, including Superman. As Ivo continues to make upgrades as well, Amazo becomes all the deadlier. Granted, while Ivo himself isn’t doing the heavy lifting in this case, he is still the brilliant technician who developed technology capable of hurting Superman. As a result, Ivo easily qualifies for this list.
4 Alfred Pennyworth
While Alfred is far tougher than he may seem, it is still unlikely that he would be able to take down someone like Kal. However, one of Batman’s most trusted and loyal friends still managed to do so in the Injustice comics. After taking a pill that gives normal people superhuman abilities for a limited amount of time, Alfred took one and used his powers to stop Superman from killing Batman.
However, Alfred didn’t just subdue Clark but gave him a rather embarrassing beating. To top everything off, after Alfred had given Superman a brutal beatdown, he then proceeded to lecture the Man of Steel. While Alfred isn’t the most skilled combatant in the DC universe, it was still rather satisfying to see him take down this version of Superman.
3 Maxwell Lord
While Maxwell Lord isn’t exactly a “mere” mortal, he has beaten Superman in ways that so few others have, all without incredible strength and speed. Towards the end of the Infinite Crisis event, Maxwell Lord was revealed as a traitor to the Justice League. In enacting his evil plan, Lord used his limited abilities to mind control Superman. As a result, Superman was completely overpowered and thus forced to do all of Maxwell’s bidding.
Because Maxwell had such a strong hold on Superman’s mind, Wonder Woman was forced to kill him in order to free Clark. Though Superman wasn’t beaten in the physical sense, the fact that Max was able to take complete control of his mind is a truly frightening win for the character.
2 Lex Luthor
Of all other mere mortals to challenge the Man of Steel, Lex Luthor is arguably the most consistent, persistent, and challenging of foes. As Superman’s arch-nemesis, Lex Luthor has done all sorts of horrible things to Clark. Occasionally, he has even bested him, both physically and mentally.
No matter how often Superman may win in the end, Lex is the one person who has come the closest to killing Superman. His incredible brilliance, however misguided, has led him to develop all sorts of tech and strategies that have sometimes put Superman in very precarious situations. Because of this, Lex is easily Superman’s greatest enemy.
1 Batman
Though the two are very close allies, Batman himself has faced off against Superman on a number of occasions. While he has lost some of those battles, he has been able to get the upper hand at times. Likewise, Batman’s own brilliance has allowed him to devise some pretty devastating attacks against Superman, some that even Lex Luthor wouldn’t think of.
Though the two heroes almost always have a good reason to battle it out with each other, it isn’t too surprising when Batman finds a way to win. Furthermore, the entire character of Batman represents everything humanity can accomplish on their own, so it makes sense to see him take down some very powerful characters. No matter how different the two heroes are, Batman is completely deserves his place on this list.
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is known for its iconic poses, memes, and stands. It won't be an exaggeration to say that a lot of people started watching JoJo just because they wanted to understand the memes cause that's what cultured people do. Anyway, the focus of our discussion is stands.
Stands are a visual manifestation of a person's life energy. Each stand has a different power. Stands are broadly classified into two types— Close range and long range. Close range stands have a short-range, but they pack a serious punch. On the other hand, long range stands can operate in a wider range, but they are not-so-accurate and they lack power. In this post, we will be discussing the strongest long-range stands.
10 Highway Star
Highway Star is the stand of Fungami Yuya. Despite its shady appearance, Highway Star can become a very powerful stand if used properly. However, the stand requires some specifics to be met before it can attack a person.
The stand creates a room and if any person enters the room, the stand picks up their "scent." This allows Highway Star to chase the person for as long as it likes. Once the stand catches the person, it can suck out all the nutrients from their body and leave them defenseless.
9 Sex Pistols
Guido Mista is a top-notch marksman and he has proven it time and time again. He is a member of Team Bucciarati. Mista's stand is Sex Pistols. It is not a giant humanoid stand like most of the other stands instead it is stand made up of six entities.
These entities control the bullets when Mista fires them, which allows Mista to hit targets that are normally not possible to hit in a fight.
8 Aerosmith
Aerosmith has a very wide range and it is capable of causing a lot of damage with its artillery. The stand possesses machine guns and bombs that can blow an enemy to smithereens. Another unique ability of Aerosmith is its ability to scout.
It looks for carbon dioxide emissions and in this way, Aerosmith can locate its target. Narancia had great control over Aerosmith and he was able to use it to the fullest extent of his powers.
7 Hierophant Green
The user of this stand Mr. Donut aka Kakyoin. Hierophant Green was introduced in Stardust Crusaders. It is one of the most versatile stands in the entire series. First of all, it is great for scouting.
As seen in the fight vs DIO, Kakyoin could set up a network of strings and if anyone breaks even one of these strings, Kakyoin would immediately know their location. Hierophant Green is not great when it comes to close-range combat, but it can be effective from long range.
6 Man in the Mirror
Man in the Mirror is the stand of Illuso. It is easily among the most difficult stands fo defend against unless the opponent is on guard 24/7. Man in the Mirror can use any reflecting surface to work. Illuso can order his stand to drag in anyone that he wants.
Once the person is dragged inside the mirror world, they are left defenseless as Illuso can prevent the victim's stand from entering the mirror world, which makes Man in the Mirror the only stand in the mirror world and thus, making it invincible.
5 Whitesnake
Enrico Pucci is a very lucky man. He got to try out different forms of his stand once he evolved it. Whitesnake is the base form of Pucci's extremely powerful stand. Whitesnake is a long-range stand that doesn't have a lot of power. The stand is able to work from a distance of 20 meters.
While the stand doesn't have much power, it is very effective when used against unsuspecting opponents. The stand allows Pucci to take out two discs from his opponents. The first is the stand disc and the second one is the memory disc. Taking the stand disc allows it to take the stand of a person and if the memory disc is taken away then all the memories of the person can be accessed by Pucci.
4 Marilyn Manson
Marilyn Manson is the stand of Miraschon. It is a stand from Stone Ocean. If the person, who is in possession of the stand, is a smart person then they could wreak havoc. The stand is based on betting and it requires Miraschon to make a bet with a person.
If the person loses the bet then Marilyn Manson activates and it takes the amount that was put on the line. If the victim doesn't have the amount they have bet, Marilyn Manson takes something of equal value in return. Also, once the stand is activated, it can't be stopped unless the user calls it back.
3 The Grateful Dead
The Grateful Dead is one of the coolest stands in the series. The Grateful Dead has the ability to accelerate aging in people. This ability can be used over a wide area and there is no way to reverse the process, however, the process can be slowed down.
The user of this stand is Prosciutto. The best way to use his stand is by directly touching a person. This makes aging significantly faster, however, Prosciutto isn't limited to close range, he can use it over a wide area, but that is dangerous to his allies as well. The stand is pretty decent when it comes to close-range combat.
2 Red Hot Chili Pepper
Red Hot Chili Pepper is a stand from JJBA: Diamond Is Unbreakable. The user of this stand is Otoishi Akira. Red Hot Chili Pepper can be both destructive and weak as its power depends on the supply of electricity. If there is a huge source of electricity then Red Hot Chili Pepper can land incredibly power blows on the opponents.
At full power, the stand is capable of overwhelming Josuke's Crazy Diamond. The stand also has a huge range. It can move from one source to another without any problem and this makes it tough to find its user.
1 C-Moon
Finally, at the top of the list, we have C-Moon. C-Moon is a stand from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean. C-Moon is the evolved form of Whitesnake. The stand belongs to Enrico Pucci. C-Moon is the first step towards achieving "heaven." C-Moon is a really powerful stand as it grants the user the power to manipulate gravity.
It also has the ability of surface inversion and even one hit from the stand can prove to be dangerous. The stand also has the ability to accelerate time, but not on a large scale like Made in Heaven. C-Moon is a really dangerous stand and its long range makes it even more troublesome to deal with.
The Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division, otherwise known as S.H.I.E.L.D., has always served as a protective barrier between the normal and extraordinary worlds. They mitigate mythical, mystical, and super-powered threats that most of us never even hear of. They operate under the radar and typically don't truly answer to anyone other than their director, Nick Fury.
Just because S.H.I.E.L.D. is supposed to protect the people, that doesn't mean they don't also put them in danger. Like their evil counterpart Hydra, S.H.I.E.L.D. has plenty of moments in which they do more harm than good, even if they don't realize it. With that being said, let's take a look at ten instances in which S.H.I.E.L.D. posed a bigger threat than the sinister Hydra.
10 Helicarriers
In both Marvel Comics and the MCU, the helicarrier is a symbolic defense force of S.H.I.E.L.D. The helicarriers have been around just as long as the organization, having been introduced way back in Strange Tales #135 by Jack Kirby back in 1965. Although these massive ship carriers fitted with an arsenal of weapons are meant to protect people from larger-than-life threats, they actually are much more threatening from the other side of the spectrum. We saw the terrifying possibilities of the helicarriers executed in Captain America: The Winter Soldier, and who's to say that couldn't happen at any point at the hands of S.H.I.E.L.D.?
9 Daisy Johnson
Much like the helicarriers, Daisy Johnson has typically been a staple of the S.H.I.E.L.D. organization. Especially since the inception of Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., people have come to associate Quake as a top agent.
Not to say that she isn't a fan favorite, but it's worth noting the potential threat that she causes. The earthquake-generating abilities that allow her to literally shake the Earth could potentially lead to a world-ending event in the absolute worst of circumstances. So, even though Daisy Johnson fights for the right side, it's the destruction her powers can cause that make her association with S.H.I.E.L.D. such a massive threat to the world.
8 Project Lazarus
In the history of both S.H.I.E.L.D. and Hydra, the process of human experimentation has been an extremely c0mmon element. From the S.H.I.E.L.D. side of the things, one of the first times the organization looked to enhance humans was in Defenders #126 in 1983 with Project Lazarus.
Project Lazarus, otherwise known as the Olympus Project, was a simple human-enhancement experiment that went horribly wrong. S.H.I.E.L.D. scientist Edward Cobert ended up testing the serum on himself, turning himself into a massive being with minimal intelligence labeled "Gargantuan". Project Lazarus showcased just how dangerous these S.H.I.E.L.D. experiments could become and how the very existence of them was a worldwide threat.
7 Weapon X Program
The Weapon X Program is yet another human-experimentation project that showcased the immense power that S.H.I.E.L.D. possessed through the form of superhumans. We mainly know Weapon X as the program that, in some Marvel universes such as the Ultimate universe, gave Wolverine his adamantium skeleton along with wiping his memory. Although the program ultimately was shut down, it still put S.H.I.E.L.D. in possession of god-like powers that could've seriously threatened the world around them.
6 Super Soldier Programs
Although the two above mentioned instances could fall under this category, it's best we give the use of super soldiers its own time to shine. Since the creation of Captain America, S.H.I.E.L.D. has been in the business of utilizing scientifically-enhanced soldiers in tactical, strategic, and combat missions.
Most of the time the organization had a grasp on the soldiers they were using. In other instances, that wasn't exactly the case. In either, however, the plan and more importantly the soldier could have easily backfired on them and posed a threat to the general public. Even though the thought behind using super soldiers to their advantage was a safe one, S.H.I.E.L.D. never seemed to consider the danger or damage that one of their soldiers could cause.
5 Agent Hulk
Speaking of genetically-enhanced soldiers with little control and the ability to cause massive danger and damage. Yes, that's right. At one point the famed scientist Bruce Banner, horrifically affected by gamma radiation to turn into the Hulk, was an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.
As a deal that allowed Banner to utilize the organization's technology, facilities, and finances, S.H.I.E.L.D. was able to secure his powerful alter-ego as their most powerful agent. The Hulk essentially became a weapon of destruction for S.H.I.E.L.D., helping them take down their most powerful enemies with ease. What could possibly pose a threat more than letting the Hulk loose in the world with the intent of doing your bidding for you? It's undoubtedly something Hydra would conjure up.
4 LMD's
Life model decoys have always been a frequent issue in the Marvel Universe. Well, they also became a massive issue for S.H.I.E.L.D. at one point. During the 1998 Nick Fury vs. S.H.I.E.L.D. event from Bob Harras and Paul Neary, these androids became an Ultron-level threat to both the organization and the world.
When one of these decoys gained sentience and began a hostile takeover of S.H.I.E.L.D., it almost became too much to contain. Although Nick Fury was eventually successful in bringing this being down, it definitely threatened those both in and out of S.H.I.E.L.D. We've seen before the danger that a sentient robot (Ultron) can cause, and S.H.I.E.L.D. was nearly responsible for something like that happening once again.
3 H.A.M.M.E.R.
The events of Secret Invasion caused a massive change in the makeup of S.H.I.E.L.D. After being taken over by the villainous alien Skrulls, the organization was dissolved by the President and placed in control of who else but Norman Osborn.
Osborn turned S.H.I.E.L.D. into a sinister organization titled H.A.M.M.E.R., whose sole purpose was complete and dangerous domination. It became a home base of sorts for supervillains and brought the old S.H.I.E.L.D. down with it. Although it technically wasn't the work of S.H.I.E.L.D. performing these villainous deeds, it was the foundation of the old organization that made things so easy for Norman Osborn.
2 Secret Invasion
The question of, "What could've happened to Hydra if they were taken over by Skrulls?" is not one that can really be answered. However, it's easy to note what happened to S.H.I.E.L.D. in the same event. As a result of the hostile alien takeover, S.H.I.E.L.D. was obviously compromised and provided the Skrulls with a vast network of both heroes, spies, and agents to complete their invasion. Although it wasn't the direct fault of S.H.I.E.L.D., their manipulation and intervention with out-of-this-world belongings and beings definitely could've played a role in the buildup to the events of Secret Invasion.
1 Pleasant Hill
As a global peacekeeping organization responsible for some of the most powerful beings on this planet and others, S.H.I.E.L.D. is typically responsible for the capture and imprisonment of supervillains. Finally revealed in Nick Spencer's Avengers: Standoff, Maria Hill and S.H.I.E.L.D. concocted a prison unlike any other. "Pleasant Hill" was born using the cosmic cube Kobik and kept these villains at bay by altering their minds to make them believe they were well-mannered citizens of this fictional community.
Although it seemed like a great idea, "Pleasant Hill" ultimately backfired on S.H.I.E.L.D. and ended up becoming a massive threat to the outside world. The prisoners managed to escape and use the cosmic cube to bend reality, and thus Secret Empire was upon us. After seeing how the resulting events of Pleasant Hill drastically changed the world, it's safe to say that S.H.I.E.L.D.'s imagined prison community is up there with the worst things that Hydra ever pulled off.
As marketing ramps up ahead of the release of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, a new television spot pits the film's heroes and villains against each other in an epic, final confrontation.
The latest TV spot, titled "Adventure" by the promotional campaign, runs heavy on the action, with expansive space battles, running gunfights and the long-awaited rematch between aspiring Jedi Knight Rey and the First Order leader and heir to Darth Vader, Kylo Ren, in a no-holds-barred lightsaber duel.
Rey and Kylo fought on Starkiller Base in The Force Awakens, with Rey surprising the Sith warrior by besting him in lightsaber combat. The duo reunited in The Last Jedi to kill Supreme Leader Snoke and his associates before Rey rejected Kylo's offer to join him, making them bitter enemies once again.
Judging by the new promo, their upcoming confrontation is slated to be their last, with the fate of the galaxy at stake.
Directed and co-written by J.J. Abrams, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker stars Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver, John Boyega, Oscar Isaac, Lupita Nyong'o, Domhnall Gleeson, Kelly Marie Tran, Joonas Suotamo, Billie Lourd, Keri Russell, Matt Smith, Anthony Daniels, Mark Hamill, Billy Dee Williams and Carrie Fisher, with Naomi Ackie and Richard E. Grant. The film arrives on Dec. 20.
Fans got to see Kevin Conroy as an older Bruce Wayne in the final trailer for "Crisis on Infinite Earths," and now a new photo for the Arrowverse crossover event offers a longer look at Conroy's Batman suit.
The photo features Batwoman's Kate Kane (Ruby Rose) and Conroy's Bruce Wayne facing one another in the Batcave, with Batman's iconic suit displayed in the center. Conroy is shown wearing an exoskeleton around his normal clothes, which may help this battle-worn Bruce Wayne move about more freely after decades of crimefighting.
Conroy recently revealed his main "Crisis" scenes feature Rose and Melissa Benoist's Supergirl, who helped him transition from voicing Batman to playing him in live-action.
"Everybody was so generous to work with," said Conroy. "I can't emphasize enough how welcoming everyone was, especially Ruby. She is so open and giving. I just fell into her eyes at one point and we just connected on camera. It was wonderful."
"Crisis on Infinite Earths" begins Sunday, Dec. 8 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Supergirl, then continues in Batwoman on Monday, Dec. 9 at 8 p.m. ET/PT and in The Flash on Tuesday, Dec. 10 at 8 p.m. ET/PT. After the winter hiatus, the crossover will conclude on Tuesday, Jan. 14 in Arrow at 8 p.m. ET/PT and in DC's Legends of Tomorrow at 9 p.m. ET/PT.
In addition to the plethora of heroes already slated to be featured on The CW's "Crisis on Infinite Earths" crossover, the event's showrunner has teased the addition of another mystery character.
Architect Marc Guggenheim acknowledged a fan's tweet, which asked if viewers could expect appearances from The Hawks, Vixen, and/or The Ray. In his response, Guggenheim replied, "One of the three."
The Hawks are Kendra Saunders and Scythian Torvil, aka Hawkgirl and Hawkman, who appeared in DC's Legends of Tomorrow. Mari McCabe, aka Vixen, was featured in the animated Arrowverse web series of the same name, and later made a live action appearance on Arrow. Ray Terrill, aka The Ray, appeared as a member of Earth-X's Freedom Fighters in the last season's Arrowverse crossover, "Crisis on Earth-X."
The confirmation is merely the latest tease heralding appearances from additional characters as part of the impending event, both from within and outside the Arrowverse.
"Crisis on Infinite Earths" begins Sunday, Dec. 8 on Supergirl, then continues in Batwoman on Monday, Dec. 9, and then picks up in The Flash on Tuesday, Dec. 10. After a winter hiatus, the crossover concludes on Tuesday, Jan. 14 on both Arrow and DC's Legends of Tomorrow.
Alita: Battle Angel might not have lit up the box office like 20th Century Fox hoped, but it certainly earned its fair share of fans since its release in February. That said, producer Jon Landau hopes fans will continue to vocally pressure Disney -- which has since acquired Fox -- to greenlight a sequel.
"What I think the Alita Army should do is keep peppering our family now at Disney and [let them know] how important it is to have another Alita movie and hopefully we'll venture there one day," Landau told CinemaBlend.
While barely turning a profit by earning $404.8 million worldwide on a $170 million estimated production budget, Alita certainly set itself up for a sequel, introducing Edward Norton's villainous mastermind in the film's final scene. In the meantime, an online fan petition expressing support for a sequel has received thousands of users joining in advocating for a sequel to be commissioned.
Directed by Robert Rodriguez, Alita: Battle Angel stars Rosa Salazar as Alita/99, Christoph Waltz as Dr. Dyson Ido, Keean Johnson as Hugo, Mahershala Ali as Vector, Jennifer Connelly as Dr. Chiren and Ed Skrein as Zapan. The film is currently available on Digital HD, Blu-ray and 4K UHD.
WARNING: The following contains spoilers for Supergirl Annual #2 by Robert Venditti, Laura Braga, Chris Sotomayor, Tom Napolitano, Viktor Bogdanovic, Jonathan Glapion and FCO Plascencia, on sale now.
Marvel's Spider-Man is such a popular, culturally ubiquitous character, that even DC can't help but reference him in some way. Typically, references to the character involve some variation of the iconic line "With great power comes great responsibility." In Supergirl Annual #2, however, Robert Venditti borrows another line associated with the Wall-Crawler... and takes it behind the tool shed! Mary Jane's familiar catchphrase is riffed right down to the visual, but Kara isn't nearly as receptive to it as Peter Parker was.
The issue is mostly a long flashback to Kara's time on Krypton, as the planet was entering its twilight. While babysitting her younger cousin Kal-El, Kara invites over her "boyfriend" Rix-Zod. The not-quite official relationship is kept a secret, due to the feud between the House of El and the House of Zod. When she opens the door to let Rix in, she's greeted to his attempt at smooth talk. Trying to be cool, Rix tells her "Face it, Kara, you just hit the jackpot." The line is exactly like Mary Jane Watson's first, and most iconic line from the Spider-Man comics. Rix's posture even mirrors how Mary Jane was drawn there, making the homage that much more obvious.
In its original use, the line worked due to how starstruck Peter himself was with the gorgeous Mary Jane. Kara, however, is less than impressed, pausing before asking him how long it took to think up such a stupid line. She also jokingly questions why he thinks that he's some sort of prize, given that she had recently beaten him at a tournament of a Kryptonian badminton/cricket equivalent. He begs for forgiveness to seem cool, but the now lame nature of the line, and how much it doesn't work outside of its original context, is clear as day.
The original line, and Mary Jane herself, first appeared in Amazing Spider-Man #42, but Mary Jane had been hinted at, so to speak, many issues before. In each of these "appearances," Mary Jane's actual visage was always obscured, though those around her remarked at her apparent beauty. When she finally does show up in her full glory, Peter's stunned reaction and acceptance of the line make sense. Mary Jane would continue to refer to Peter by the nickname of "Tiger," eventually admitting that the name was ironic in nature. In other words, she called him Tiger because he was so sheepishly timid. In this respect, Rix in Supergirl Annual #2 would fittingly deserve the title.
Various versions of Mary Jane have referenced the line in some way, and though Kirsten Dunst's version of the character in the Sam Raimi Spider-Man movies never spoke it in its entirety, the nickname Tiger was used. Black Cat, another of Spider-Man's love interests, would also tempt him with the line, and the scene itself would be homaged in the Spectacular Spider-Man cartoon and recreated in Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale's Spider-Man: Blue, which retold the story of Peter's romance with Gwen Stacy. The Spider-Girl comics, the Ultimate Spider-Man comics, and even the infamous Clone Saga story would reuse the line in some capacity, and on the Earth of Spider-Gwen/Ghost-Spider, Gwen Stacy's band, The Mary Janes, has a song called Face It Tiger. Given how iconic the line is, it's a bit strange for Supergirl to dunk on it so blatantly. Sure, it's a slightly outdated line, but unlike Krypton, it's stood the test of time.
After a brief stint working with Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry on The Lieutenant, Fontana did some work on the sci-fi series and eventually became story editor -- a role she would remain in until the end of Season 2. Following that, she worked on Star Trek: The Animated Series, The Next Generation, Deep Space Nineand several of the franchise's licensed video games.
Outside of Star Trek, Fontana's writing credits include Bonanza, The Six Million Dollar Man, Land of the Lost, Logan's Run, The Waltons, Dallas, Babylon 5 and much, much more.
Sadly, Fontana isn't the only Star Trek alum we've lost this year. In September, Aron Eisenberg, who played Nog on Deep Space Nine, passed away at the age of 50.
Fontana is survived by her husband Dennis Skotak and her family has requested memorial donations be made to the Humane Society, the Best Friends Animal Society or the American Film Institute.
Saitama and the Hero Association of the anime series One-Punch Man have faced many monsters, aliens and robots, but their greatest threat is a human, Garou. Introduced in the final scene of the Season 2 premiere, Garou actively hunted superheroes with surprising efficiency, using his extensive martial arts training to cut a destructive path against the hapless heroes.
Unlike many of Saitama's opponents, Garou survives the events of the season to live to fight another day. Now, we're taking a quick look back at Garou, the self-proclaimed human monster and nefarious hero hunter that singlehandedly put the Hero Association on high alert.
Flashbacks interspersed throughout Season 2 of One-Punch Man revealed that Garou had grown up as a bullied, ostracized young boy. After watching monsters defeated constantly by superheroes on television as a child, Garou sympathized with the behemoths rather than the heroes and swore to dedicate his life to avenge the monsters he identified with by training to hunt heroes.
Garou began training in martial arts with an elite fighting school, developing blindingly fast speed, immense endurance and an impressive amount of strength. The dojo was overseen by Bang, the Hero Association's top martial artist, and Garou quickly became Bang's star pupil. Upon reaching a satisfactory level of power for himself, Garou singlehandedly defeated all of his classmates and most of his teachers before being defeated by Bang and barely escaping. At a gathering of criminals organized by the Hero Association as an impromptu truce, Garou learns of a prophecy that the monsters would overwhelm the heroes and eradicate humanity, which led him to put his lifelong revenge plot into motion.
Garou begins his rampage by completely annihilating all the assembled criminals and heroes, except for the hero Sitch, who was tasked with spreading word of his villainous arrival. Saitama begins targeting C and B-class heroes, including Tank Top Vegetarian and Mumen Rider, before defeating Tank Top Vegetarian's mentor Tank Top Master, his first S-class target. After barely defeating the hero Metal Bat, Garou is approached by the newly revealed Monster Association to join their ranks by transforming into a monster through the consumption of a monster cell but turns them down to go his own way.
While recovering from back-to-back defeats against Watchdog Man and Saitama, Garou is ambushed by eight mid-level superheroes. Initially throttled by the ensemble, Garou begins to goad the group by playing off their insecurities causing them to overreact and grow sloppy. From there, Garou is able to pick off each of the team one-by-one before barely emerging victorious despite being exhausted and wounded before the fight even began.
As with many of his opponents, Saitama is completely underestimated by Garou when the two first meet as Saitama searches the city for a wig to disguise himself and infiltrate a martial arts tournament. Assuming Saitama to be a low-level superhero, Garou karate chops him only for the hero to return the favor after mistaking Garou for a mugger. Immediately rendered unconscious, Garou would awaken sometime later, developing a bout of amnesia to forget the encounter.
After being beaten by Watchdog Man after failing to counter his unpredictable fighting style, Garou spots the world's top-ranked superhero King and attempts to attack him. However, he's dismissively countered by Saitama,. who is unable to recognize Garou as the notorious hero hunter and the man he beat earlier. Later, after enduring brutal beatings by Genos, Bang and his brother Bomb, Garou is rescued at the last second by the Monster Association's Phoenix Man, who brings the hero hunter to the organization's leader.
The Mandalorianhas already been renewed for Season 2, and fans can expect Carl Weathers to make an appearance in the Disney+ series' sophomore season.
“I think [Greef’s backstory] is more saved for season two," Weathers told SFX. "But you get some glimpses at Greef and who he is through the stories in the first season. There’s some real strong indications that give you some idea of who he is. But we never let on completely.”
In the series, Weathers plays Greef Carga, the head of the Guild of Bounty Hunters. He is the one who gives Mando the mission that leads him to Baby Yoda, putting the guild leader on a collision course with the famed bounty hunter after Mando decides to save his former target.
The Mandalorian just passed the midway point of its first seasons, with four episodes left before it goes on hiatus. The next episode will be available to stream on Friday, Dec. 6.
Created by Jon Favreau, The Mandalorian stars Pedro Pascal, Gina Carano, Carl Weathers, Giancarlo Esposito, Emily Swallow, Omid Abtahi, Werner Herzog and Nick Nolte. It is now available to stream on Disney+.
WARNING: The following contains spoilers for the Titans Season 2 finale, "Nightwing," streaming now on DC Universe.
While Donna Troy may have seemingly met her untimely end in the Titans Season 2 finale saving Dove and an innocent bystander from collateral damage, the character may be poised for a return in Season 3 of the DC Universe original series.
While appearing on the DC Universe talk show DC Daily to discuss the season finale, Titans star Conor Leslie teased that there is plenty of directions to take her character, pending a strongly hinted resurrection.
"This is interesting because the whole Troia storyline has yet to explored," observed Leslie without divulging further details about her character's possible return.
Troia was a superhero persona linked to the DC Multiverse adopted by Donna Troy following her resurrection after being killed by a rogue Superman android, with Wonder Woman's protege playing a pivotal role during the Infinite Crisis. With Raven taking Donna's body back to Themyscira with plans to use her powers to resurrect her, Troia may be making her live-action debut in Titans' upcoming third season.
Streaming now on DC Universe, Titans stars Brenton Thwaites as Dick Grayson, Anna Diop as Kory Anders, Teagan Croft as Rachel Roth, Ryan Potter as Garfield Logan, Curran Walters as Jason Todd and Conor Leslie as Donna Troy, with Minka Kelly as Dawn Granger, Alan Ritchson as Hank Hall, Joshua Orpin as Superboy, Chelsea Zhang as Rose Wilson, Chella Man as Jericho, Drew Van Acker as Aqualad, Esai Morales as Deathstroke and Iain Glen as Bruce Wayne.
WARNING: The following contains spoilers for Titans, streaming now on DC Universe.
Season 1 of Titans introduced on Hank and Dawn, aka Hawk and Dove, as lovers who tried to move past a triangle with Dick Grayson/Robin and also had a dark history of their own. Season 2 revealed this had a lot to do with the deaths of Jericho and Aqualad, which caused the initial disbanding of the group.
In fact, things got so rocky as Dick tried to put the family back together that when Robin's true role in Jericho's death came to light, Hawk and Dove separated, seemingly for good. However, by the season's end, they returned to the tower for another stint. After defeating Deathstroke, though, it's in the show's best interest to keep this couple apart permanently.
At this point, there's simply nothing left to explore there. The Robin love triangle is gone as Dick's now scouting the future for the group as Nightwing, but more so, Dawn is over the days of old. She begged Hank to stay but he took off, leaving San Francisco behind for cage fights and one-night stands, all while Dawn tried to find Rachel and Beast Boy with Starfire and Donna Troy. This paints a one-sided picture of a genuine hero and an outright narcissist, and while Season 2 ends with them back at Titans Tower, Dawn makes it clear it's only as friends. Duty comes first and while they'll be teammates, they don't have a romantic future together.
This is a smart direction as it removes the kind of teen drama that's more commonplace with The CW series. It also gives the duo more agency moving forward; the crime-fighters have prominent roles as mentors now, not just filling in at the tower. Bruce Wayne basically endorsed them and Nightwing needs senior people on the job so the responsibility is already there.
With Beast Boy, Jericho, Rose, Conner Kent/Superboy and Raven (once she returns from Themyscira) as young charges, they'll need to be taught properly. Leaders have to set an example, so this dysfunctional on-again/off-again relationship will make Hawk and Dove seem immature and unstable. Plus, it'll take the spotlight away from the younger, more interesting heroes.
Simply put, we've had enough of this dance in the limelight. They tried and failed to chart a life together so dragging it out once more would feel like flogging a dead horse. The will-they/won't-they lasted for two seasons, but as much as Hank and Dawn did have great chemistry, the ship has sailed and now, it's time for Hawk and Dove to evolve into something more than just street-brawlers.
It's up to them to usher in the next age of heroes, and by staying separate, it'll also augur well for their own mental health. They drove each other insane at quite a few intervals, so this would freshen up their dynamic and allow them to grow as heroes, too. Having them reunite would feel regressive and like the show's afraid of letting them be their own characters instead of a power couple. This severance fuels more of their own identity and doesn't walk back the progress Dove made at the tower, comfortable in her own skin as a leader of a school, and more so, as someone who's truly emancipated.
Streaming now on DC Universe, Titans Season 2 stars Brenton Thwaites as Dick Grayson, Anna Diop as Kory Anders, Teagan Croft as Rachel Roth, Ryan Potter as Garfield Logan, Curran Walters as Jason Todd and Conor Leslie as Donna Troy, with Minka Kelly as Dawn Granger, Alan Ritchson as Hank Hall, Joshua Orpin as Superboy, Chelsea Zhang as Rose Wilson, Chella Man as Jericho, Drew Van Acker as Aqualad, Esai Morales as Deathstroke and Iain Glen as Bruce Wayne.
Wes Ball, who directed the Maze Runner trilogy and was poised the helm the now-canceled Mouse Guard adaptation, has been tapped by Disney to spearhead a new Planet of the Apes film.
According to THR, it's not entirely clear if the new film is meant to reboot the previous trilogy, which culminated with 2017's War for the Planet of the Apes, or if it will simply be a continuation of it. However, it's notable nonetheless for being perhaps the biggest Fox property to be retooled by Disney since the latter acquired the former in March.
Of course, this news should hardly come as a surprise. In August, following posting a $170 million operating loss in its fiscal third quarter, Disney revealed its plans to take its newly acquired Fox assets, including Planet of the Apes, "in a new direction, with an all-new development slate that will focus on a select group of properties."
The Planet of the Apes franchise began in 1963 with the French novel La Planète des singes by Pierre Boulle. Five years later, the novel was adapted to film for the first time and spawned four sequels. Following the release of the fifth film in 1973, a live-action TV series hit the air in '74 and an animated series in '75. Then, in 2001, the original 1968 film was remade by Tim Burton and in 2011, the most recent film series kicked off with Rise of the Planet of the Apes.
Netflix's upcoming dark fantasy series, The Witcher, will introduce audiences everywhere to a unique character with Geralt of Rivia. Those who aren't already familiar with Andrzej Sapkowski's novel series may not know what to expect. Thankfully, actor Henry Cavill seems to know just how to introduce Geralt to mainstream audiences.
In an interview with Kevin McCarthy, Cavill was asked to compare Superman with Geralt of Rivia. Despite the two characters being wildly different at first glance, the actor provided an exemplary observation of the commonalities between Geralt and, not just the Man of Steel, but Batman as well. "There are some strong similarities," he admitted, "Geralt of Rivia is almost like a blend of Superman and Batman. He is bigger, stronger, faster... but he's also exceptionally good at detective work." As Cavill revealed, the similarities don't stop there...
It's no secret that the Man of Steel star is a huge fan of both those comic book characters and Sapkowski's Witcher series. His understanding of both is abundantly clear, which should be encouraging for those awaiting the release of the upcoming Netflix series. Critics have already begun to praise the actor for his performance as the titular witcher.
As described in Sapkowski's novels, Geralt of Rivia was taken in as a child by the School of the Wolf, one of several witcher organizations on The Continent. He was trained to fight and cast minor spells, then genetically mutated in order to become a professional monster hunter. His past and profession has made him cynical. Judging by the trailers, the upcoming Netflix series fully captures the character's gruff, oftentimes cold exterior.
The Witcher stars Henry Cavill as Geralt of Rivia, Anya Chalotra as Yennefer of Vengerberg, Freya Allan as Ciri and Joey Batey as Jaskier. The series will be available to stream on Netflix starting December 20.
HBO's Watchmen isn't known for featuring any post-credit scenes, but that's about to change.
"Friendly heads-up to Watchmen viewers: Don't switch off this week's episode when the closing credits start," tweeted pop-culture writer Keith Phipps. The episode, entitled "A God Walks Into a Bar," is the season's penultimate episode and airs on Sunday, Dec. 8.
The series has not featured any such scenes to date, and the contents of the pending scene aren't yet known. The episode title is a possible play on words relating to Angela Abar, aka Sister Knight, who was revealed to have had a past relationship with Doctor Manhattan in last week's episode.
Post-credits scenes have become anticipated and almost expected in superhero films, and in television series to a lesser extent. Watchmen has taken a different approach, one more in keeping with the original comic. Instead of additional scenes, backmatter material is shared via HBO's "Peteypedia" page, and features fictional interoffice memos and news clippings related to the show's events. The name of the page is derived from FBI Agent Dale Petey, a member of the government's anti-vigilante task force on the show.
Developed by Damon Lindelof, HBO's Watchmen stars Jeremy Irons, Regina King, Don Johnson, Tim Blake Nelson, Louis Gossett Jr., Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Tom Mison, James Wolk, Adelaide Clemens, Andrew Howard, Frances Fisher, Jacob Ming-Trent, Sara Vickers, Dylan Schombing, Lily Rose Smith and Adelynn Spoon. The series airs Sundays at 9 p.m. ET/PT.
WARNING: The following article contains spoilers for The Mandalorian, now streaming on Disney+.
The Mandalorian on Disney+ has secured its continuing viewership in a few ways. The first is excellent storytelling, with a compelling central mystery and complex protagonist. Secondly, the series introduced us to the meme-machine that is Baby Yoda.
If those weren’t strong enough reasons to tune in every week, The Mandalorian has also found small ways of connecting itself to the larger Star Wars canon. "Chapter 4," for instance, features the live action debut of a creature that has previously only been seen in animation called a Loth-cat.
After escaping a shoot-out with the Bounty Hunters' Guild, with the help of some Mandalorian brethren, by the end of Episode 3, our hero has become a wanted man on the run and is in desperate need of a place to hide. A remote planet named Sorgan appears to provide just the seclusion required.
Upon landing on the forest planet and making his way to a nearby village -- with his green little guy following close behind -- he enters an eating/drinking establishment, and this is where the Loth-cat makes its cameo. As the Mandalorian passes, unaware of the (at first glance) cute and cuddly feline-esque creature watching the patrons from below a stool, Baby Yoda gets a little too close. The Loth-cat lashes out with a snarl and snaps its sharp fangs at the poor 50-year-old child.
For viewers who have mainly been fed on a diet of the live-action Star Wars films, the incident is likely nothing more than a brief, surprising encounter. To fans of all things Star Wars however, this serves as something much more interesting.
First seen in the fifth episode of the animated series Star Wars Rebels, Loth-cats are cranky animals native to the planet Lothal. They have popped up and been mentioned several more times during the life of the show, making them both a recognizable and welcome addition to the Star Wars landscape, but one that, until now, had been confined to a single television series.
Much of the ancillary Star Wars material, such as TV shows, comics, novels, games and even two standalone feature films (Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and Solo: A Star Wars Story) have served as opportunities to explore the other corners of the Star Wars galaxy and detail events only mentioned in the main films. This can also be said of The Mandalorian, taking place five years after Return of the Jedi and the fall of the Empire, with a key difference.
As the first live action Star Wars spinoff series, it would have been easy for the show to exist in its own bubble, forsaking all other material. Instead, it optioned to pull from canon to enrich its storytelling.
Dave Filoni is the Lucasfilm wunderkind and creative powerhouse involved in Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Rebels, Resistance and now serves as a writer, director and executive producer on The Mandalorian, alongside series creator John Favreau. His inclusion may have something to do with the show's decision to connect Star Wars' live action and animated TV worlds. After all, this wasn't just a passing reference to something from Star Wars, this was something that only existed in a show he was an instrumental part of.
When Rebels premiered in October 2014, Lucasfilm had been purchased by Disney two years earlier and The Clone Wars had been off the air roughly seven months. There was no guarantee that the new series would connect to the previous one, despite Filoni's involvement. However, in the first season finale, it is revealed that the rebel agent Fulcrum is, in fact, the former padawan of Anakin Skywalker -- Ahsoka Tano. Her inclusion in the series confirmed that even though The Clone Wars began prior to the Lucasfilm acquisition, it was still canon.
By including the Loth-cat in The Mandalorian, John Favreau, Dave Filoni and the rest of the team have rewarded fans of Rebels and proven that all of the modern Star Wars canon is valid; it all matters.
Created by Jon Favreau, The Mandalorian stars Pedro Pascal, Gina Carano, Carl Weathers, Giancarlo Esposito, Emily Swallow, Omid Abtahi, Werner Herzog and Nick Nolte. A new episode arrives each Friday.
