When Colin Farrell was cast as Oswald Cobblepot, The Penguin, in Matt Reeves’ The Batman, many fans were skeptical as they did not know what to expect from the interpretation. Farrell definitely did not look the part, but the costume design crew did an amazing job and Farrell delivered a brilliant villain who was so good that HBO ordered a standalone spin-off series focusing on The Penguin. The series, which will be titled The Penguin, is set to be released later this year and we have just today received some interesting casting rumors!
Namely, we know that Farrell is reprising his role and that the series will focus on Penguin taking over Gotham’s criminal underworld after the death of Carmine Falcone (played by John Turturro in the film) at the hands of the Riddler.

Eureka Entertainment announced today that they will be releasing Jet Li’s martial arts extravaganza Black Mask on Blu-ray on April 23rd.
Influenced by Bruce Lee’s role as Kato in The Green Hornet, Black Mask stars Jet Li as Tsui Chik, “a librarian who leads a quiet, unassuming life – or, at least, that’s what he wants people to believe. In truth, he was once a member of the 701 Squad, a group of elite combatants produced by a failed super-soldier project. In-kind with his former comrades, his central nervous system has been altered to render him impervious to pain. When several of his fellow test subjects resurface and embark on a crimewave under the leadership of their former commander Hung Kuk (Patrick Lung), Tsui is forced to use his extraordinary abilities once more. Donning a costume, he sets out to face his past – as the vigilante known as the Black Mask.

Contrary to what you might think based on the plethora of Christmas films and TV series that flooded the streaming landscape recently, we're only now heading into the final month of 2023 and the winter holiday bonanza that comes with them. For Netflix, in particular, December is a time when it pulls out the big guns, tempting its subscribers with an eclectic blend of prestige television, awards season contenders, and crowd-pleasers. This year, that includes the end of the royal drama with "The Crown" season 6, part 2, Bradley Cooper going for the gold (again) with his Leonard Bernstein biopic "Maestro," and whatever the hell Zack Snyder has cooked up for us with the first half of his two-part "Star Wars"-inspired cosmic epic, "Rebel Moon -- Part One: A Child of Fire."

Exclusive: Black Mask’s graphic novel Destiny, NY, created by Pat Shand and Manuel Preitano, is being developed for the small screen by Sony Pictures Television.
Tegan and Sara Quin will executive produce alongside Black Mask’s Matteo Pizzolo and Brian Giberson; Shand will serve as consulting producer. The search for a writer is underway.
The series and the comics follow Logan, a “prophecy kid” who grew up attending the elite New York City boarding school Destiny, NY for children with magical prophecies. At 12 years old, she faced a cataclysmic crisis and rescued the entire planet… but hardly anyone knows what she did and since then she’s been directionless. There’s no prophecy for what Logan is supposed to do with the rest of her life, as she faces a midlife crisis despite being in her 20s. But when Logan falls for Lilith, the estranged daughter of a mystical crime family,...

Birds of Prey (And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) is a movie directed by , Cathy Yan. An action film with super héroes that is entertaining enough to be watched
Margot Robbie is Harley Quinn in Birds of Prey. She also has several friends to “shell out” justice and lots of kicks.
Storyline
The relationship between Harley Quinn and The Joker has ended, so the girl needs to find something to while away the tedium. Things look easy for this when half of Gotham is after you and you have unlimited chances for doing somersaults.
The Movie Birds of Prey (And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn)
Somersaults, blows, shots, and every once in a while a joke. Not bad at all: this is like Girl Power in which the girls do the kicking and the foot always lands in the same place in the anatomy of the guy.

The DC Universe is undergoing its own Crisis event, with as much chaos surrounding what the franchise will and will not look like in the near future as a party organized by Joker. There's been cancellations, firings, fights with Dwayne Johnson, and poor-taste trickery about actors returning to roles without a single deal in place.
The thing is, as bad as the overall DC universe has been at times, we were just in the middle of a rather good run. Ever since the films stopped trying to copy Marvel and its interconnected universe, we've got some rather good (or at least interesting) films based on an eclectic collection of characters that would never have made it to the screen otherwise. Characters like Black Canary and Black Mask in "Birds of Prey," or the new version of Riddler in "The Batman," or King Shark in "The Suicide Squad." And this is...
