DC Movies - To Infinity and Beyond

I don't like his art style, which is completely off model, overly cartoony nonsense. Joker with a three foot long chin, faces generally looking bad, etc. To me, his style reminds me of a less talented Mike Mignola, and to me Mignola's art only works for his own Hellboy work and looks terrible the few times he's drawn pre-established characters. Maybe Tim Sale making his own characters would lead to tolerable art, but to me Tim Sale is barely above later years Frank Miller in terms of being terrible at drawing, I've never been able to read Long Halloween because the art is so painfully bad. I honestly don't know which of The Long Halloween or The Dark Knight Strikes Again is the worst drawn (officially published) Batman comic I've ever seen, they are both horrible in similar and different ways.

Helen Mirren will play the villain Hespera, a daughter of Atlas and sister to Kalypso.

That's surprising. I was hoping for more a old school Captain Marvel villain, like Mr. Mind (who got a reference in the last movie), so despite those actors being good they definitely aren't all that interesting in context of a Shazam sequel, at least to me.
 
Eh, liking or not liking Sale’s art is obviously a matter of personal preference. As always, I don’t give a hoot about his or anybody’s Bat-stuff, but I love his work on Superman for All Seasons and Superman: Kryptonite. His renditions of both Clark and Lois are outstanding.

I have to agree; Sale's Batman is a study in exaggeration (beyond the usual expectations of comic subjects), while his Superman was hideous, with a cinder block for a chin somewhat buried in his neck. He was attempting a "throwback" look, but the results jumped past even the original Superman appearance to...

The greatest, recent history examples of "vintage" / old appearances for Superman were from the pencils of Darwyn Cooke and Steve Rude, by far.
 
I am eagerly awaiting the first pic of Sasha Calle as Supergirl.

Two predictions: She will keep her dark hair, and the costume will have pants, not a skirt.
 
Great news. Should be fun seeing him in the role again, see him in costume, the batmobile etc.
 
We could get a lot of reveals this time. Last year very little was ready to even be disclosed. Numerous films are now filming and more will have started by than.
 
So is this going to be an annual event now? I thought last year's was just going to be a one time thing.

Consider that SDCC has been almost abandoned by the big media franchises in the past few years. Disney has their D23 Expo and Star Wars Celebration, Star Trek has their own conventions and their Star Trek Day and First Contact Day panels for Paramount+, and DC has now their Fandome. And it's easy to see why. Disney did their D23 for their non-Marvel stuff outside of SDCC for over a decade, anyway, so it doesn't cost them that much to just add their big Marvel panels and announcements to it compared to doing it at SDCC. Especially since they can sell tickets for their panels themselves instead of Comic Con International selling the tickets, it might even make them some money instead of costing it. Same goes for DC and the Fandome. Add to that they don't have to compete with each other over hype on one weekend of the year, and instead they all get to have their own weekend to dominate the entertainment press and Social Media, and it makes perfect sense for them to do their own convention event.
 
I imagine movie studios will still have some presence there, but they'll keep their big announcements, celebrity presence and marketing material (trailers, special footage reels, etc.) for their own events and conventions.
 
Warner released a 4K trailer for the Whedon Justice League and everyone is roasting them for it.

I have this weird feeling the Flash movie is gonna start with Synderverse Flash but at the end he's in the canon universe where Justice League happened as in the Whedon movie with one huge exception...

"Who's Superman?"

Setting up the JJ produced movie.
