Comic Shoot Episode 2: Paramount and the Bizarro World of its Warner Bros. Takeover

Posted on by One comment

What does a war in Iran, the Saudi Government, Ari Emanuel, Jared Kushner, AI data centers, UFC and WWE, all have to do with the takeover of Warner Bros. Discovery by Paramount Skydance? Find out in this new episode of Comic Shoot as well as its possble impact on DC Comics, Milestone Media, Wonder Comics, DC Entertainment, and DC Studio!

Joining us is Nate Wilcox who founded the legendary MMA web site Bloody Elbow in 2007 and sold it in 2024. He was the first UFC reporter to focus on Ari Emanuel and the ownership team rather than Dana White and the public facade. He blogs as Nat Wilson Turner for Nakedcapitalism.com and IanWelsh.net on politics, propaganda, and media and tech business news. You can also find his current coverage of the MMA space at The MMA Draw.

Nate has been regularly following the money and its connection to politics that will determine our future!

Notes/Corrections: Around the 40 minute mark Nate states Ari Emanuel gave MBS $400 BILLION back but it should be MILLION.
Around the 50 minute mark, “the law of Iran and Israel” is “the law of Iran and the US.”

James Gunn announces Lars Eidinger as Brainiac

Posted on by
Brainiac

James Gunn turned to social media to announce that Lars Eidinger has been cast as Brainiac in the Superman sequel Man of Tomorrow. Eidinger has a packed career with a mix of television and films with eight upcoming projects including this film.

Gunn has teased that Man of Tomorrow will have Superman and Lex Luthor working together to take on Brainiac.

Brainiac debuted in Action Comics #242 in 1958 and created by Otto Binder and Al Plastino. While there’s been variations to the character, he travels the galaxy shrinking cities to bottle size to preserve them, brings them on his ship, and then destroys the planet. Among those cities is Kandor, the capital of Superman’s home planet of Krypton. It’s unknown if Kandor will make an appearance in the film but the first film’s leaning towards some of the classic elements of Superman would make us believe there’s a good possibility.

The character has appeared in more than just comics but also in the various Superman related television shows, animation, video games, LEGO video games, and was considered for previous Superman films, some that were never made.

Man of Steel is expected in theaters in 2027.

V for Vendetta and DC Crime featuring Jimmy Olsen series in the works for HBO

There’s two stories out there concerning television series based on DC properties.

A television series based on V for Vendetta is in the works for HBO. Pete Jackson is attached to write the adaption with James Gunn and Peter Safran of DC Studios set to executive produce it. Also executive producing is Ben Stephenson via Poison Pen and Leanne Klein of Wall to Wall Media, which is part of Warner Bros. Television Studios UK. Warner Bros. Television will produce.

V for Vendetta was written by Alan Moore with art by David Lloyd and originally released in 1982 in the British anthology Warrior before being published by DC in 1988.

The story is set in a Britain dystopia where a fascist government has taken over. An anarchist known as V who wears a Guy Fawkes mask attempts to topple the government.

The series was made into a film which was released in 2005 starring Hugo Weaving and Natalie Portman. There’s been previous attempts to adapt the comic to television and the television series Pennyworth was to be a prequel to V for Vendetta but that was never fleshed out before the series was canceled according to showrunners Danny Cannon and Bruno Heller with the series going into the British Civil War that would give rise to the fascist government.

While it might seem like an odd choice for a television series, Watchmen which was also created by Moore with Dave Gibbons got a television series that was praised upon its release.

There’s also news that DC Studios is working on another series, DC Crime, that would be a “true crime docuseries” hosted by Jimmy Olsen played by Skyler Gisondo. The first season would focus on Gorilla Grodd, mostly known as a villain of The Flash.

Tony Yacenda and Dan Perrault would serve as writers, executive producers, and showrunners on the series. James Gunn and Peter Safran of DC Studios would also executive produce, with DC Studios’ Galen Vaisman overseeing production.

The need for solidarity with Palestinians and Jewish Americans reconning with the historical myths we’ve been fed–– James Gunn’s new Superman movie really went there and did it superbly. Who better to process it with than Rafael Shimoff and Shoshana Brown, the hosts of Beyond the  Pale, radio’s home for NY’s Jewish left!

But first an update from Project Fulcrum, Get Free’s Star Wars fan organizing campaign striking a blow against censorship. 

James Gun Teases Man of Tomorrow, the next Superman film for 2027

Posted on by

Superman is a hit grossing over $600 million so far with many millions to go before its run is over. The film is such a success it’ll get multiple sequels with the first, Man of Tomorrow, arriving July 9, 2027.

Writer/director/DC Studios co-head James Gunn made the announcement on social media with an image by Jim Lee (with the date of 2025) of Superman and Lex Luthor, but Luthor wearing his Warsuit. Maybe we’ll be seeing David Corenswet fighting Nicholas Hoult in the armored suit? Maybe they’ll have to team up against a greater threat?

What’s interesting is the upcoming Supergirl film was originally titled Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow and now just Supergirl. Gunn has said he’s not a fan of film titles that were “Character Name: (XYZ).”

The next few years will be busy with Supergirl arriving in June 2026 and Clayface currently set for September 2026. There’s also the television series with Peacemaker‘s second season currently airing and Lanterns expected in early 2026. The Batman Part II i also expected to be released October 2027, though it currently isn’t connected to the current DC Studios universe.
