A Wonder Woman-centric Black Label series has unveiled the Batsuit Batman would don for his last stand, serving as a testament to the Dark Knight's 'true form'. This revelation brings Batman's story full circle and profoundly influences Wonder Womans post-apocalyptic attire, resulting in one of her most hardcore and visually striking looks in comics.
Daniel Warren Johnson and Mike Spicers Wonder Woman: Dead Earth #1 begins with Diana Prince awakening from a centuries-long sleep after her stasis pod in the Batcave is damaged. She soon discovers that her friends are long dead and Earth has become a post-apocalyptic wasteland during her absence.
With no memory of how or why she was placed in the pod, Diana emerges to find Wayne Manor in ruins and Bruce's skeletal corpse wearing his original Batsuit. This emotionally devastating sight not only highlights her loss but also reveals the Batsuit Batman chose for his last stand,...

Cheetah has long reigned as Wonder Womans most iconic villain, a status I initially and solely attributed to Barbara Minervas long-standing role as a foe in comics. However, the reveal of Cheetahs terrifying post-apocalyptic form has made me realize what truly defines their rivalry. They embody the classic god vs. monster trope, capturing the essence of their dynamic in a way that makes them perfect rivals.
Wonder Woman: Dead Earth #1 by Daniel Warren Johnson and Mike Spicer opens with Diana awakening from a centuries-long sleep, only to discover that her friends are long gone and Earth has become a wasteland. With her recent memories missing, Wonder Woman joins a group of human survivors, determined to uncover the mystery behind Earths destruction and protect the rapidly dwindling human population.
However, the humans she teams up with soon betray and imprison her, forcing her to fight for their entertainment in an arena.

DC has many great stories beyond Batman, like Doom Patrol, Supergirl, and Wonder Woman's Dead Earth. Mister Miracle and Superman's Warworld Saga are some of the best-received DC stories in recent years. Watchmen, Hellblazer, Swamp Thing, and All-Star Superman are iconic works that have redefined the genre.
For over eight decades, Batman has been one of the leading superheroes under DC Comics, appearing in more comics than not. In fact, the Gothamite detective is said to have so many comic appearances that, if they were their own publisher, would be second only to Marvel. Despite the Caped Crusader's dominance in the company's publishing schedule, there are many stories that have nothing to do with Bruce Wayne or his Bat-family.
Considering the fact that DC is actually rooted in characters like Superman, it's no surprise that many of the company's greatest stories don't feature Bruce Wayne. The company has...

Wonder Woman's post-apocalyptic stasis suit offers a dramatic departure from her classic look, merging Amazonian royalty with sci-fi horror. Diana's white and grey bodysuit bears a striking resemblance to Superman's black recovery suit, hinting at its healing or stabilizing purpose. Fans can create a uniquely recognizable Wonder Woman cosplay by dirtying the suit and adding fake blood splatters for a hardcore post-apocalyptic look.
Trigger Warning: Mention of fake blood as costume decoration.
Wonder Woman is no stranger to costume overhauls, having sported some of the most diverse and varied outfits among her Justice League peers. However, Dianas post-apocalyptic stasis suit represents one of the most dramatic departures from her classic look. This unique design makes it an exceptional choice for cosplayers seeking a fusion of Amazonian royalty and sci-fi horror.

Daniel Warren Johnson’s Wonder Woman: Dead Earth is one of the most intriguing Elseworlds stories to come out of DC. The writer is known for his work with Transformers and Marvel’s Beta Ray Bill, which have also received high praise from fans and critics alike.

In the distant future, Supergirl assumes her ultimate form, making her a literal Woman of Steel. In 1996's Supergirl Annual #1, part of DC’s Legends of the Dead Earth crossover event, readers are transported to a bleak mining colony, where robots toil day in and day out for a fascist organization. One of the workers, inspired by Supergirl, rebels, using their robot form to create a metallic effigy of the Maid of Might.
Like her cousin, Supergirl has many nicknames, such as the "Woman of Tomorrow" and the "Girl/Woman of Steel" - but in Earth’s distant future, she made this name literal. Legends of the Dead Earth, which ran through DC's 1996 annuals, depicted a future in which the Earth had become inhabitable and its people scattered across the galaxy. In this future, Earth’s heroes are nothing more than legends. The event looked at how these same legends...

Writer/director Wych Kaosayananda has been somewhat of a busy bee recently with not one but Three films released in the span of six months. First up was The Driver, swiftly followed by One Night in Bangkok. However unlike those 2 features, which had the star-power name of Mark Dacascos to hang their marketing, Paradise Z – also known as Dead Earth and Two of Us – has crept out into the market with very little fanfare. Probably because it hasn’t kept the same moniker across the countries it has been released in so far. It also doesn’t help that the marketing – that I’ve seen – seemingly doesn’t connect this to The Driver. But it should, Kaosayananda has actually stated this film is set in the...

Indie ethos, costume drama and rich fantasy won the day at the world’s top cinematography event, EnergaCamerimage Film Festival, on Saturday, with Joshua James Richards’ naturalistic filming in Chloé Zhao’s “Nomadland” taking the Golden Frog plus Fipresci jury honors. The chronicle of life on the rough edges of America’s society among retirees living on the road in trailers, based on Jessica Bruder’s nonfiction book “Nomadland: Surviving in the Twenty-First Century,” is considered a strong Oscars contender.
The 28th edition of Camerimage also wrapped with its award to an actor of unique visual sensitivity for Johnny Depp, whose Japan-set war correspondent story “Minamata,” filmed by Benoit Delhomme, screened at the fest. Depp said in a letter to the fest that shooting with the celebrated Dp was “a sort of dance” encouraged by director Andrew Levitas, who “encouraged us to explore.”

In something of a surprise move, France has selected the lesbian seniors drama Deux (or Two of Us) for Oscar submission rather than their higher profile titles Summer of '85 with its Efa director nomination or Cuties with its hot potato festival run and Netflix controversy. This suggests that Two of Us might do very well in a month or three at the César Awards but for now let's talk France and Oscar as there's a Lot to discuss.
France is of course a total powerhouse at the Oscars. The Best International Feature Film category has existed as a competitive category for 64 years (as of last season) and France has been nominated in 59% of those races.
What's more they've tried to factor in to the competition 100% of the time! In point of fact, France is the only country that's never skipped an Oscar submission year.

With less than two weeks to go until the Academy’s Dec. 1 deadline for submissions, the Oscars race in the Best International Feature Film category doesn’t appear to be suffering any slowdown because of the coronavirus.
As of Thursday, more than 60 different countries had announced their Oscar submissions in the category. That’s more than the 58 that had announced last year at the same point in the Oscar calendar.
Last year’s field was initially announced as a record 93 submissions, though two subsequent disqualifications lowered the final total to 91.
While this year’s race does not have any prohibitive favorites like last year’s “Parasite” or 2018’s “Roma,” a number of the most recent submissions appear to be serious contenders. Denmark’s “Another Round,” for instance, stars Mads Mikkelsen and is directed by Thomas Vinterberg, whose 2013 film “The Hunt” was a nominee in this category. Mexico’s “I’m No Longer Here,...

France’s Oscar selection committee today set a shortlist of five films that are in contention to be the country’s official submission to the International Feature Film category at the 2021 Academy Awards. Among the titles is Cuties, the Sundance award-winning debut drama from Maïmouna Doucouré that was well-received in France when it released this summer, but also was collaterally involved in an online backlash spurred by Netflix’s early marketing campaign.
Bac Films released Cuties in France while Netflix began rollout elsewhere on September 9. The story follows Amy, an 11-year-old girl who joins a group of dancers named “The Cuties” at school, and who rapidly grows aware of her burgeoning femininity — upsetting her mother and her values.

Cinemas in Wales and Scotland and some islands remain open.

Wales is set to emerge from its “firebreak” next week, and cinemas in the nation are accepting bookings. Nothern Ireland’s cinemas may also...

Omnibus film projects looking at possible future political and cultural changes are somewhat en vogue in South-East Asia at the moment, notably the “Ten Years” series, starting in Hong Kong, going to Japan, Taiwan and Thailand. As yet, a “Ten Years Korea” hasn’t been released, but the Koreans have taken it upon themselves to create their own project, away from the franchise. Featuring a trio of shorts from Ji-young Boo, Yi-kwan Kang and Seo-yoon Kim, “Let Us Meet Now” is a heartfelt plea for better relations between the two Koreas.
“Let Us Meet Now” will screen at Florence Korean Film Festival 2020
We open with Seo-yoon Kim’s “Mr Driver”, where Sung-min (Yoo-ram Bae) is a delivery driver to the Kaesong Industrial Complex, a joint North and South venture in the demilitarised zone, where workers from the North and South meet. Coming from the South, Sung-min is nervous and unsure...

Boy bands don’t usually get much respect from Grammy voters, but once members go solo they often get their due. Michael Jackson cleaned up after leaving The Jackson 5. Justin Timberlake was an awards darling after Nsync split up. Now the members of the British group One Direction are pulling the industry in several directions after going on hiatus in 2016. Four of them have albums eligible for consideration in 2021. Who do you think has the best chance of winning? Scroll down to vote in our poll at the bottom of this post.
SEE2021 Grammy contenders: These are top artists and albums that may get their due next year
On paper, Harry Styles looks like he might be the best bet. He released his sophomore solo album “Fine Line” in December 2019. It debuted at number-one on the Billboard 200 albums chart, has gone platinum for achieving a million album units based on streams and sales.

In honor of St. Patrick’s Day, let us raise a dirty glass to the spirit of Irish music, wherever in the world it shows up. And like the Irish people themselves, Irish music shows up everywhere, usually a few moments after the bottles get opened. There’s always been plenty of great music on the island, but the really staggering part (apart from all the staggering) is how far that music travels, following the immigrant experience.

Daniel Warren Johnson is doing some of the best work of his young career taking Wonder Woman to the end of the age of man.
My first experience with Daniel Warren Johnson's comics work was probably his Image book, Murder Falcon, and my first thought was "Oh wow, he's new Stokoe." He's got a very similar vibe - that immaculate attention to detail, the panels that bubble over with imagination, and there's a wryness that I think is very subtle in both artists that people don't appreciate as much because the other skills are so immediately apparent.
But after thinking about it, and pouring over these exclusive preview pages of Wonder Woman: Dead Earth #2, I think I'm leaning towards Geof Darrow being a better comparison. Dead Earth has a little bit of a Shaolin Cowboy feel to it, and Johnson does some things very well, and...
