On March 17, 2020, The Direct website was officially launched. A group of writers and creators eager to make content about the MCU and Star Wars. Within the last year, that "group" of writers and content creators became a team. We extended our coverage to DC content in addition to video games, growing our team in the process. We expanded our roles on the team, with many team members becoming editors, photo creators, and social media administrators, furthering improving our content. We even laun

"Nothing good is born from lies" as Diana Prince has told us, so can we trust that the less-common phrase "sixth time's the charm" rings true when Wonder Woman 1984 is expected to release come Christmas Day? December 25, 2020 is WW84's sixth "official" theatrical release date after Warner Bros. delayed the sequel film again from its October 2 date. Before the pandemic caused shutdowns worldwide, the DC film was supposed to release back in June. Fans were undoubtedly excited for the film's relea

After Ray Fisher's allegations detailed abuse from the likes of Joss Whedon and Geoff Johns throughout production of Justice League, the Cyborg actor has received renewed support from his co-starts via social media. Kiersey Clemons and Jason Momoa both have iterated that they stand with Ray Fisher and his claims, and their show of support has resulted in Warner Bros. conducting an investigation into Fisher's claims. In one of the latest developments in the ongoing controversy, Warner Bros. rele

DC FanDome is well underway, with fans all over the world tuning in for in-depth first looks at a plethora of DC content on the horzion. As the virtual home for everything coming from DC Films and DC TV over the next few years, it's proven to be a one-of-a-kind immersive experience, allowing fans everywhere to join in on the fun. Since its announcement earlier this year, the coverage surrounding Zack Snyder's director's cut of 2017's Justice League has been constant, only elevated after the ala

The Suicide Squad panel is underway at DC FanDome, and writer-director James Gunn joined the ensemble cast to give fans the first official look at the upcoming film. Aside known character portrayals such as Amanda Waller and Harley Quinn, one of the biggest anticipations has been the reveal of exactly who the other cast members are going to portray. Those questions were answered at the films' panel, where fans were introduced to the official team in the first official look. The Suicide Squad pa

How appropriate that Wonder Woman 1984 kicks off the film portion of DC FanDome, as the highly anticipated sequel will be the fans first return to the DCEU upon its release, either in theaters or possibly within their own homes. The first film starring Gal Gadot in the titular role was a critical and box office success, and the anticipation for the sequel only grew when its initial trailer was released back in December. But even the Amazon warrior herself couldn't predict a pandemic that would

The combination of an ongoing pandemic, a recession, and the drawing of attention to continued police brutality has reinforced the realization that systemic inequality is ever-present, and its repercussions reach far and wide. These factors highlight the disparity evident in our world today and holding those rightfully accountable. The entertainment industry is no exception, and the same goes for its prominent studios. DC Entertainment and its parent company Warner Bros. have both made controve

Amazingly we already find ourselves in the month of August, and while others view it as a sign of summer nearing a close, comic fans have awaited this month for one reason: DC Fandome. The 24-hour immersive virtual event will give fans an inside look at DC's upcoming shows and films, including potential mystery projects in development. The unique experience offers the opportunity to change the future of comic conventions all together. One of DC's upcoming projects that fans are expecting to get

Fans have been strongly supportive of the release of the so-called "Ayer Cut" of 2016's Suicide Squad, given that the theatrical version of the film has been notorious for its shift in tone compared to David Ayer's original vision. The director himself has been just as vocal in supporting the release of his final cut and laying explicit reasons for doing so. One of the key selling points for fans awaiting its release is the belief that the relationships between the characters are more in alignm

It has been said countless times to date, but these are truly unprecedented times we are living in. Any semblance of normalcy has been affected, and the same goes for the world of superheroes and comics. A prime example was when San Diego Comic-Con was canceled this year, effectively delayed until 2021. In the aftermath came the announcement of Comic-Con@Home, marking the first time the event would be held virtually in its 50 years of existence. Would the household studios follow suit and join

DC has been channeling the essence of its heroes as of late, answering the calls of its fans for "more superhero news!" First, there was the report that Michael Keaton was in talks to reprise his role as the caped crusader in the upcoming The Flash film, and then the rumor that a Zatanna movie is in development at Warner Brothers. In a time where superhero news has been sparse, DC seems to be in full force, and fans are not complaining. All these announcements have come before August 22, when

The ongoing health crisis resulted in film studios delaying the release of highly-awaited blockbusters, and the same was true for DC's Wonder Woman 1984, once again starring Gal Gadot. The sequel to the 2017 film, which dominated the box office and garnered critical acclaim, was met with equal anticipation for its original June 2020 release. The pandemic forced theaters to close worldwide and delay the release, but recent promotional art reminded fans of what's to come. After announcing its orig

DC fans are no stranger to a film's end product straying away from the original vision, but atonement is on its way in the form of director's cuts. The Snyder Cut of Justice League arrives on HBO Max in 2021, and the announcement has given hope for a potential "Ayer Cut" of Suicide Squad. What is unique about the latter is that David Ayer's completed version of the film is said to be drastically different in tone compared to the theatrical version, and there is no better example than the relati

The phrase goes, "Ask and you shall receive," but for the DC fandom, it should be reworded to "Ask and you shall receive...in 2021." The DC fanbase was awarded a monumental announcement in what feels like a long time coming. After teases from Zack Snyder himself and support among fans, the Justice League "Snyder Cut" is officially becoming a reality, landing a 2021 release date on HBO Max. In the aftermath of the Snyder Cut announcement, there have now been discussions into whether an "Ayer Cut
