DC Studios Multi-Year Plan Announcement and Other News.

And just like that, one half of new head of DC Studios, James Gunn took to social media to announce their road map for the next several years thereby also consolidating its universe for films, TV streaming and comicbooks. No longer will there be differently confusing Batmen and alternate versions of characters under one roof. From non-Henry Cavill Superman to animated Creature Commandos to Authority anti-heros, this primary "phase" has been labeled, Chapter 1: Gods and Monsters. Even for the cynic, many hope we will get fresh solid storytellings enough to rival Kevin Feige's MCU. Let's wait and see.

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever Spoiler Review/ Andor Season Finale/ Kevin Conroy RIP

With the passing of Chadwick Boseman, Hollywood was shaken and the Marvel Studios movie machine was left questioning on how to pivot on the production of its expected sequel to Black Panther. The loss of Boseman left a massive void and for studio head Kevin Feige and director Ryan Coogler to pull the project out of danger. But would they be able to bring reconciliation and healing to those who have lost a friend, a family member and for many an icon.

Black Adam Spoiler Review and More...

Since the mid 2000s, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, then dubbed "the most electrifying man in sports entertainment" had been attached to the project, Black Adam. For many, Black Adam is an unknown whereas for comic book fans he is in DC Comics, SHAZAM!'s chief antagonist, poweful enough even to match the likes of Superman. Forward to late 2022, the project finally comes to fruition in a worldwode cinematic release, all the while Warner Bros ushers in new leadership to its rebranded division DC Studios (formerly DC Films), headed by Marvel Studio veterans, James Gunn and Peter Safran. TBC_afp reviews The Rock's new movie and get into how some of the sausage is made. Also in this episode: HENRY CAVILL IS BACK AS SUPERMAN!

Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania trailer, MCU's Wonder Man, More Andor and Tales of the Jedi.

The Batman (Spoiler Review)

In the immortal parodied words of Alfred Pennyworth, well not really, more like an exchange between British comedians, Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon from the 2014 film The Trip to Italy, we get a tickling Michael Caine impersonation-off exchange that went like this: "I'm not going to bury 'nother Batman!" "Another Batman? How many Batman(s) has he been burying?" Which in reflection hilariously sums up most sentiments from when WB announced in 2019 yet another Batman would be cast for a standalone movie this time directed by Matt Reeves to be set apart from Zack Synder's Batman portrayed by Ben Affleck. This time Robert Pattinson, of Twilight Saga fame, would be cast as the Dark Knight and already fans either felt optimistically cautious or flat out unsure how this project would pan out. As of current having enjoyed being at the top of the box office for only a month, The Batman sits at $676 million and counting, still not quite what Spider-Man No Way Home has accomplished but time will tell. And what do we think? Here's a Riddle: I can be tuned for conversation but not like a piano nor radio. What am I?

Ant-Man and The Wasp (Spoiler Review) / Steve Ditko RIP

How would Ant-Man’s best buddy, Luis (Michael Peña) describe this podcast episode in his own words? 

“…So there’s like this podcast, its called TBC afp, I mean, afp actually stands for a fanboy podcast. They start off the show by saying: ‘You might not learn anything right… but if you stick around, you just might have some fun’ and I’m like ‘word’ and the co-host and the producer was like ‘word’, Then they start talking stuff about the new Ant-Man and The Wasp movie which  is more of follow up to Infinity War because Scott and Hope were a no show but then people disappeared and started turning to a………”

Wonder Woman Film Review: Road To Justice Part 1

Created in the 40’s, Wonder Woman has evolved over the ages brandishing strength, beauty and feminism to many but not without controversy contained in the course of her history. DC’s archetype and surely GOAT female superhero has graced fans through the ages in comics, toys, TV, animation and finally a solo feature film directed by Patty Jenkins (Monster) with Gal Gadot (BvS, Fast & Furious) as Diana, Princess of Themyscira.

The crew of To Be Continued a fanboy podcast offer their Wonder Woman film review in this first installment of ROAD TO JUSTICE, inching its way closer to Warner Bros.' ambitious Justice League.

"All the world's waiting for you and the power you possess… Change their minds, and change the world."
