Fanboys Anonymous

Welcome to another edition of WEEK IN GEEK here at Fanboys Anonymous—a rundown of some of the events, news and stories that went down over the past few days in the geek culture spectrum.


Here are some of the topics I felt like voicing my opinions about:

Zatanna and Batman Beyond Films

Another week, another "DC has XYZ films planned" story that will likely not pan out, like most of them haven't.

This time, it's a Zatanna solo film, rather than Justice League Dark, and a Batman Beyond movie.

I'll believe them when I see them. Between the two, I think there's more of a chance Batman Beyond were to happen, but I still don't think that's going to come to fruition.

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice Ultimate Edition on HBO Max

The Ultimate Edition cut of BvS has replaced the theatrical cut on HBO Max. That's awesome, as that's the far superior version of the movie.

2 Secret Movies for DC FanDome

The DC FanDome website has "Secret Film 1" and "Secret Film 2" listed.

Let the speculation begin. Is it Zatanna and Batman Beyond from above? Is it Aquaman 2 and The Flash? Maybe Batgirl? Green Lantern Corps? Nightwing? Something completely out of the blue like Metal Men or Red Tornado or Blue Devil?

Superman to Lead The Authority?

Rumor has it, the big plan at DC is to set up Superman as the leader of The Authority.

Now, I don't know much about Wildstorm and all their characters and such, but it seems strange to me for Superman of all characters to be the one that heads up that group.

I would think that would be a better opportunity for a smaller character than the top dog. Maybe Captain Atom, Martian Manhunter, Commander/Citizen Steel or whatever.

Perhaps, if this is true, it will lead to Superman vs Apollo and Batman vs Midnighter as the big payoff?
