DC Universe Online: Are You Metal Part II

Since the last DC Universe Online (DCUO) column was posted, Daybreak has given us an early Christmas present. The development team dropped Episode 36: Metal Part II (EP36) just a few weeks ago. Metal Part II is the last half of the DCUO content inspired by the Dark Nights: Metal storyline that ran through the DC Comic books in the last half of 2017. We had a chance to fly into the new content on the Switch platform. If you played the prior update, Update 97 which was the Metal Part I content, you'll find there's not too many surprises. Welcome to our newest episode about all things DC Universe Online! EP36 story begins from the point where Earth is sinking into the Dark Multiverse. Two of the three heroes that make up the DC "Trinity", Batman and Superman, are missing. Meanwhile Hawkman and Hawkgirl's home planet of Thanagar have a world-destroying gun aimed at Earth believing this is the best course of action. EP36 contains much of the same format, following t

‘Power Rangers’ Movie Reboot in Development at Paramount From Jonathan Entwistle

Another feature film reboot of the campy '90s kids show "Power Rangers" is in the works, moving over to Paramount and Hasbro from Lionsgate, an individual with knowledge of the project told TheWrap. Jonathan Entwistle, the creator of the series "The End of the F***ing World," is in early negotiations to direct the film. Patrick Burleigh, who wrote "Peter Rabbit 2: The Runaway," will write the script. The new film will involve a time travel element in which modern day kids are sent back to the 1990s and are forced to find their way home. The '90s TV show, originally called "The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers," was inspired by a Japanese children's show and was the story of five children who don colorful suits and helmets and would fight supervillains and giant, robot monsters by morphing into their own mech fighters.

Settlement in Documentary of Michael Jackson #Breakingnews

 Timothy A. CLARY Michael Jackson is estimated to have sold 350 million records, including "Thriller", the best-selling album of all time Disney and Michael Jackson's estate have resolved a copyright dispute over a documentary about the late King of Pop that saw the Hollywood studio accused of breathtaking hypocrisy and aggressive tactics. "The Last Days of Michael Jackson", a two-hour program that aired on Disney-owned ABC in 2018, was accused of using the pop star's songs, music videos, concert footage and clips of his memorial service without permission. On Thursday, Jackson lawyer Howard Weitzman said in a statement to AFP: "The matter has been amicably resolved." No details of the settlement were provided. The Jackson estate's lawyers alleged in a complaint filed last year that Disney had ignored copyright law while zealously prosecuting anyone who infringed on its own intellectual property. "Unable to make a compellin

Colbert Cold Open Turns Rudy Giuliani Into Worst Batman Ever (Video)

"The Late Show With Stephen Colbert" used its Tuesday cold open to turn President Trump ally Rudy Giuliani into the absolute worst Batman of all time. Yes, it was a particularly cold cold open. Brr. This all happened because Trump called his pal Giuliani "probably the greatest crime fighter over the last 50 years." To the Bat Cave! Also Read: Stephen Colbert Can't Listen to Trump Brag About His Election Win Anymore (Video) Cartoon graphics resembling the old "Batman" TV show's opening credits accompanied its iconic theme song. Adjectives — real or made up — like "Winey," (we think they meant "Whiney"?) "Drinky" and "Teethy" flashed onto the screen. Those replaced the "Sock!" and "Pow!" moments from Adam West's days as the Caped Crusader. Don't forget "Zok!" Whatever that is. Some of these villains should look familiar as well. Parody laws can be a great thing — jus

Disney Dazzles Wall Street, but What Will 2020 Hold for the Media Sector?

© Jordan Strauss/Invision/AP/Shutterstock Looking back at the past decade, there's no legacy Hollywood player that has been able to cause quite as big of a stir on Wall Street as Disney. The company and its media sector peers spiraled into a tailspin in the mid-2010s after Disney chief Bob Iger uttered but a few mild words about cable subscriber losses; flash forward to Disney Plus' big unveiling in April, which sent the stock up nearly 12% in just one trading session. CONSTELLATION BRANDS, INC. As if through a Jedi mind trick, Disney has essentially shifted investors' focus off the industry's present (pay-TV declines) and onto its future (the potential for streaming services): These are not the metrics you are looking for, it is saying. Now, the company is strutting through the finance district with renewed swagger going into 2020 as the analyst community looks largely favorably on the House of Mouse. Jessica Reif Ehrlich of Bank of America Merrill Lynch is among

‘Frozen 2’ Songwriters Kristen Anderson-Lopez & Robert Lopez Mature Disney Characters With Seven New Original Songs

With Frozen 2, the long-anticipated sequel to a 2013 smash from Walt Disney Animation Studios, songwriters Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez knew they had a lot to live up to, recognizing at the same time that they couldn't rest on their laurels. Winning their first Oscars for Frozen, the songwriting duo have come upon the same question, time and time again, while on the press circuit for Frozen 2. "Every single human being keeps asking us, 'How did you deal with the pressure of doing this, and following up 'Let It Go?'" Anderson-Lopez says, with reference to an instant classic written for the first film, which also earned the pair an Annie Award and two Grammys. "And the truth is, the directors we were working with and for immediately said, 'Don't do 'Let It Go.' We're going to do a new story, and build it the same way we did the first time, by talking about character very deeply, and getting inspired by our lives now.'&quo

Justice League Animated Figures Are No Longer DC Universe Exclusives

When DC Comics launched their streaming service, DC Universe, one of the initial lures was exclusive toys. DC Collectibles had a hit on its hands with 6-inch scaled figures from Batman: The Animated Series, so why not Justice League next? As an added bonus, Justice League features DC's most recognizable superheroes. So even casual subscribers who don't care about the cartoon might still find an exclusive Superman or Wonder Woman appealing. The Justice League action figures could only be ordered through the app, and they got a staggered release, in order to hook initial subscribers for at least three months. While not cheap, at $28 with no accessories, the figures are nonetheless top quality. With flesh-toned plastic rather than paint, and different reflectiveness levels for skin and clothing, they did their namesakes…justice. But with DC Universe floundering as a streaming service ever since Warner Bros. announced their own that will share its content, DC clearly wanted

Deja Who Releases "This Far Along" Single

Deja Who Releases "This Far Along" Single The new single "This Far Along" has been released from Deja Who and it breathes life into alternative rock on many levels. The song brings together influences of late 90's and  2000's alt bands and a twist of a newer emo rock sound. The song is something you find yourself wanting to play again and again as its not only musically strapping but also vocally enticing. Just when you get pulled into its siren song like melodies and smooth clean feel, it bursts into a sonic wave of rock. Before you knew what hit you, the want for more is there already. "This Far Along" is laid out to be some sort of prequel to an LP said to be released sometime soon. This is something we look forward to.  https://open.spotify.com/ artist/6Gss4QlgGhu1eIi6yE4ImI https://dejawho.bandcamp.com/ https://soundcloud.com/user- 38149462 https://www.facebook.com/ dejawhoband/ https://soundcloud.com/user- 38149462
