Marvel Just Dropped Mind-Blowing Info About the Next Avengers Movie

Marvel just rebalanced the hierarchy of power in the MCU. Leading up to the studio’s big San Diego Comic-Con panel on July 27, everyone had one big question: what was happening with Avengers 5? The movie, originally titled Avengers: The Kang Dynasty had been placed in deep freeze ever since Jonathan Majors was found guilty of misdemeanor assault and harassment and promptly fired from his role as Marvel’s next big bad, Kang the Conqueror. So what did that mean for Avengers 5 and it’s follow-up Avengers: Secret Wars? Now, we finally know.

In the final minutes of its Comic-Con panel, Marvel revealed the new directors for Avengers 5 and Secret Wars (the Russo Brothers are indeed back) before dropping an even bigger bombshell: Avengers 5 is now Avengers: Doomsday, starring none other than Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom.

‘Batman: Caped Crusader’ Is a Clever Retro Remix of Bruce Timm’s Animated Masterpiece

When Batman: The Animated Series premiered in 1992, it set a new standard for animation. Its sendup of film noir, combined with its unique Art Deco design and surprisingly bold, deceptively simple storytelling was like nothing seen in kid’s cartoons before. Spearheaded by co-creator Bruce Timm, BTAS would become the first show in a franchise dubbed the “Timmverse,” a series of interconnected animated comic book shows centered around superheroes like Superman, Static Shock, a future Batman, and the Justice League. But despite some of the storytelling highs the Timmverse reached, none could top Batman: The Animated Series.

So it’s no wonder that, 30 years later, Timm has gone back to that original formula. Set in the early years of Bruce Wayne’s career as a bat-eared vigilante, Batman: Caped Crusader is both a love letter to and a remix of the story we know so well.
