Review – Justice League Unlimited #9: Battle for Time
Justice League Unlimited #9 cover, via DC Comics. Ray: It's the aftermath of 'We Are Yesterday', and the big threat is resolved – but it's created a few dozen new perils for the League. Grodd has been captured, but his machinations have created a ripple that have left countless timelost heroes stranded in the present including Batman Beyond, Jonah Hex, and even the deceased Abin Sur. Additionally, new characters keep popping in and out – including a chaotic Harley Quinn who still loves her 'Mistah J'. The timeline is increasingly unstable, the anomalies are increasing, Air Wave is still missing and possibly dead, and everyone is worried about time paradoxes – except Mister Terrific, who has holed up in his lab with his past self as they try to figure out how to get Air Wave back to the present. Michael Holt once again proves that he's one of the DCU's best characters, but the past Terrific blinks out of existence just before he can reveal his findings. Mistah J. Via DC Comics. And as the chaos escalates, the heroes get an unexpected helping hand – from the Time Trapper, aka Doomsday, who has become an unlikely ally of Superman. He's brought with him the World Forger, a cosmic being who was linked to Perpetua and the Monitor. They both want to set things right – but they might need to claim Grodd's life to pull it off. Grodd wastes no time manipulating things in his favor, and it nearly sets off a war between the present-day heroes and the time-displaced ones. There is a lot going on in this issue, with a bunch of fantastic easter eggs and cameos through the issue, but the story is at its best as Holt tries to solve this puzzle and bring Air Wave back to the land of the living. The story of this abandoned kid who was manipulated by Grodd has been the emotional core of this run in many ways, and this issue brings the whole story full circle with style.

Yes, The Cast's Reactions In Superman T-Craft Scene Were Completely Real
The fictional high-tech aircraft was created by the film's character, Mister Terrific, played by Edi Gathegi. Who would have thought that another day at work could turn into a thrilling ride? Obviously, not the cast of the newly released Superman movie. The superhero action film, written and directed by James Gunn, features many scenes inside a futuristic aircraft called the T-Craft. The fictional high-tech aircraft was created by the film's character, Mister Terrific, played by Edi Gathegi, which is operated with the help of special T-Spheres. While the majority of the time, Mister Terrific was flying the aircraft, towards the end of the film, Lois Lane, played by Rachel Brosnahan, took control of it. She even invited her colleagues at the Daily Planet newspaper for a ride on the T-Craft. Mikaela Hoover, who portrayed Cat Grant, a gossip columnist at the newspaper, shared that the cast knew nothing about the high-tech aircraft before filming the scene. 'When we got in there and we buckled our seat belts, we had no idea that [the T-Craft] was really going to lift up or go down or right or left," she told People. The 41-year-old actress continued, 'We didn't know what was going to happen. So all of those reactions we had in the T-Craft are real." She compared the experience of their flight on the aircraft to that of riding a rollercoaster or a 'topsy-turvy" ride. Further, recalling the day they shot the scene, Mikaela revealed that one of the cast members almost threw up because they had a weak stomach. She said, 'It was quite the experience," sharing that it took them an entire day to film the scene. The actress also mentioned that the cast initially was not sure about the ride, but later got the hang of it. Mikaela explained, 'We were in there for a long time, and there were a lot of takes, but we got the hang of what was going to happen. It was that first initial time going up in there that we didn't know how bumpy it would be or what was going to happen to us all." Superman, which was released in the theatres on July 11, featured David Corenswet as the titular character, with Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, Skyler Gisondo as Jimmy Olsen, Isabela Merced as Hawkgirl, and Nathan Fillion as a Green Lantern. Speaking about her role in Superman, Mikaela hoped that her character and the Daily Planet gang would be seen in future instalments, if the makers decide to include her. She said, 'Of course, one can only hope that she continues on." Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's. Please keep discussions respectful and constructive.

Review – Wonder Woman #23: Little Ears Are Listening
Wonder Woman #23 cover, via DC Comics. Ray: Last issue introduced us to the strange new character of Mouse-Man, a seemingly d-list misogynist supervillain who nearly took over the US Congress with the power of…giant mice? This being a Tom King run, that was naturally just a one-off story with an absurdist foe set in Wonder Woman's past…right? Not so much. In the present day, there apparently exists an island solely populated by people who worship this villain – and more disturbingly, only talk in strange phrases of praise towards him – endlessly repeating 'Mouse Man Knows. Mice have ears' no matter the circumstances. They converse in these words, teach in them – and shout them in anger when someone questions the dogma and does anything that might get the authorities to pay attention to them. They live there in isolation since an unknown Crisis – including a young girl who seems to be key to the story somehow. Don't say a word. Via DC Comics. And Wonder Woman has had enough. Following a brief visit to the JL Watchtower – where Stephanie Brown guest-stars and gets her most meaningful screentime since Batgirls ended, somehow – she meets with Mister Terrific to discuss a possible intervention on the island. How these people wound up there and what they want out of the island isn't made clear yet, but it seems that the situation has become untenable – as they have someone that Wonder Woman is looking for. However, the JL and the UN are united – there was some kind of deal made with the island, and they can't allow any outsiders to enter it. That's not nearly acceptable to Diana, even as Mister Terrific threatens her that going rogue could mean the end of her time with the League. But with baby Lizzie strapped to her back, she boldly heads into enemy territory, seeking help from the girl we've been following – only to discover that she is very much not wanted there. This is easily the most unsettling issue of this run in a while. To find reviews of all the DC issues, visit DC This Week. GeekDad received this comic for review purposes. Liked it?

Killed off in X-Men franchise, the Superman actor is now soaring in the DC universe
Marvel Studios definitely have their backs up after the positive reactions received by James Gunn's latest film, Superman. The film's box office collection is also growing exponentially by the day. One of the key takeaways from the film was the introduction of the Justice Gang, and out of the three superheroes, Mister Terrific has left a mark. Played by Edi Gathegi, the character added serious firepower to the film, and it is quite interesting to know that DC's latest winning stead was once in a competing stable and was part of the X-Men. Everyone is wondering, did Marvel lose out on a winner? Back in 2011, the X-Men franchise was owned by 20th Century Studios, and they came out with the film X-Men: First Class, which followed the journey of a young Charles Xavier and Magneto trying to create a mutant super team in order to deal with the repercussions of coming out to the world about their abilities. One of the young recruits was a mutant named Darwin (played by Edi), and anyone who is familiar with the comics knows about the incredible shape-shifting capabilities he possessed. What came as a surprise was that he was killed in the movie by Sebastian Shaw, and fans never got the chance to see the character develop. Interestingly, he had very similar powers to Metamorpho, who appears in Gunn's Superman, but obviously did not have a happy ending. ALSO READ: Superman ending explained: What it means for new DCU movies and Peacemaker season 2 Edi Gathegi recently revealed to THR that he had expressed concerns about the script to his agent and how he felt that killing the only male Black character halfway into X-Men: First Class was a cliche thing to do. He said, 'So I read the script, and I called my agents to say, 'Hey, listen, I have a problem with the fact that this character is the only Black character in the film aside from Zoë Kravitz's character. I am also the only mutant who meets an untimely demise halfway through the film.' It was 2009 at the time, and I was like, 'Killing the Black guy first is so played out. I can't do this.'' Edi added that he was told that the character's untimely death was part of a larger plan and he would return in the later films in the franchise, but nothing of the sort ever happened, which the actor expressed came as a 'surprise' to him. Now all these years later, Edi has made peace with the studios' decision and is currently bearing the fruits of his incredible portrayal of Mr Terrific. Fighting alongside Guy Gardner (Nathan Fillion) and Hawkgirl (Isabela Merced) as the Justice Gang, Edi stole the show with his sarcastic quips, entertaining fight sequences and an air of domination. He added, 'With X-Men, the message that I received as an actor and as a man of colour in this world is you can be the most powerful mutant in the world, and they'll never let you reach your full potential. Whereas with Mister Terrific in Superman, the message that I'm receiving is you can be one of the most intelligent characters in the universe, and you can make a difference. You can help save the world. It's a different level of conversation.'

‘Superman' post-credit scenes explained — James Gunn's emotional blueprint for the DCU
James Gunn's 'Superman,' the first official entry in DC Studios 'Gods and Monsters' chapter, delivers two post-credit scenes that eschew traditional sequel bait in favour of emotional depth and character-driven storytelling. Rather than setting up future villains or crossovers, these scenes reflect Gunn's personal approach to building the new DC Universe. Mid-credit scene: Moonlight and melancholy The first scene, appearing midway through the credits, shows Superman, David Corenswet sitting silently on the moon with Krypto, gazing at the Earth. The moment lasts just for 30 seconds but carries immense emotional weight which is a nod to 'All-Star Superman' and 'Up in the Sky' comics and fans, it also symbolizes Superman's isolation and quiet burden as the Earth's protector and contrasts Krypto's earlier chaotic behavior with a moment of peace. This scene does not tease a sequel, it reaffirms Superman's emotional core, grounding the character in vulnerability and reflection. Post-credit scene: Humour and humanity The second scene, after the full credits roll, features Superman and Mister Terrific, Edi Gathegi surveying a damaged building in Metropolis. Though Mister Terrific repaired the structure after Lex Luthor's dimensional rift, Superman points out a subtle misalignment. Terrific storms off in frustration, which prompted Superman to mutter: 'Darn it! I can be such a jerk sometimes.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Esta IA está generando ingresos (Ver más) Finanzas y economía Empieza ahora Undo It's a light, humorous moment that highlights the Superman's self-awareness and empathy, further deepens his dynamic with Mister Terrific, reinforces Gunn's focus on character over spectacle. A new kind of superhero universe These post-credit scenes do not introduce Brainiac or tease Supergirl's solo film. Instead of that, they choose to set the tone for a DCU built on an emotional resonance, humor, and grounded storytelling. Gunn's Superman is not just a reboot it is a redefinition of what superhero cinema can be and want to be. It sets a futuristic expectation for the fans.
