Believe it or not The Dark Knight turned 10 years old this year. Though the film will go down in pop culture history as a box office phenomenon much of that was down to the incredible work put in to create Heath Ledger’s Joker. In a new featurette IGN speaks with makeup artist John Caglione, Jr about how the character came together. There’s plenty of behind-the-scenes anecdotes and footage in this 9 minute piece making it a much watch for fans. https://youtu.be/GUHeyVXyjng Follow us on Facebook, on Twitter @GetYourComicOn, or on Instagram at GetYourComicOn.

In the past we’ve had the great pleasure of working with the masterminds behind the adventurous UK comic series Snow: The Dawn. Following their world expanding graphic novel The Eventide they are dipping back in to the world with a brand new tale entitled Whistleblower. A new one shot by writer Will Gillingham with illustration and colours by Stuart McGarey this new story promises to open up their already intriguing world even further. Whilst Gillingham is new to this world McGarey is no stranger to Snow having worked on the “Vices” chapter in The Eventide (reviewed here). The synopsis for Whistleblower teases further decay in the order of dystopian London: London, 2079. Surrounded on…

Last time we took a look at the potential merger between Disney and 20th Century Fox we were awaiting the outcome of a shareholders meeting. That meeting has now taken place and the verdict is… the merger is on! Yes 20th Century Fox’s shareholders have voted in favour of the $71.3 billion offer from Disney to acquire the company. That means that Marvel properties Fantastic Four and X-Men are now officially joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe. There’s no timescale for the characters officially moving over but it is now a done deal. Whether this will have an impact on the upcoming New Mutants and X-Men: Dark…

The panel featuring voice actors Kevin Conroy, Loren Lester and Tara Strong raised the roof on room 6DE by showing off the first remastered footage from the series.

Today has been a rather excited day for trailers and we’re not done yet! Up next the second trailer for Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindlewald. This movie actually went first at the Warner Bros. panel today but it happens to be the least comic book-y of them all. This over three minute trailer gives us a much better look at the second movie from The Wizarding World. There’s plenty more of Young Dumbledore, Newt Scamander and the gang to see here. Keep watching until the end as a rather familiar name from the world of Harry Potter might just appear!…

It wasn’t just the DC Comics movies which held court of Hall H at San Diego Comic Con today. Godzilla: King of the Monsters also premiered its first trailer as part of the Warner Bros. panel. Starring Stranger Things Millie Bobby Brown and Bates Motel’s own Vera Farmiga the trailer has a lot to show off. There is of course the return of the Godzilla himself, last seen in the 2014 movie featuring his name. That film setup the shared Monarch universe which continued in 2017’s Kong: Skull Island. Hype for King of the Monsters is real given it will also be the debut of Mothra, King Ghidorah and…

DC Comics or perhaps more importantly DC Films completely owned Hall H at San Diego Comic Con today. Following the successful launch of the first Aquaman trailer (see it HERE) we also got our first look at Shazam! Whilst many expected the recent behind-the-scenes featurette which leaked online to be shown they were instead surprised with the first full trailer. Setup in typical teaser style Shazam! looks set to the the perfect origin movie for the character. We get to see plenty of Billy Batson and learn about his tragic home life. Whilst some of his characters more bullish characteristics have been toned done he…

Fresh from raising the roof at San Diego Comic Con we’ve got the first trailer for Aquaman! During the panel in Hall H two versions of the trailer were show. The version below is the official trailer. A longer, over three minute extended version was also shown. During the extended trailer shots of Jason Momoa in the classic orange and green comic book suit were shown. There was also further footage of Black Manta and the reveal of The Trench. All in all it seems to be a great start to the Aquaman promotional machine! We’ll bring you screen shots as soon as…

Last night we sat down to watch the outstanding The Death of Superman animated movie. Following the screening selected members of the cast and crew joined the crowd in Ballroom 20 to discuss the movie. Towards the end of that panel we were teased that DC Comics would be announcing its slate of animated movies for 2019. Sure enough just as things were drawing to a close it was announced that DC will be releasing FOUR animated movies next year. The company normally releases three but given the current success the franchise is seeing we’ll be getting a bonus movie. First up…
