Characters to expect coming up in Artemis: Warrior of the Bana #1, out June 8th!
Artemis of Bana-Mighdall
Edward the Emu
Black Adam (Teth-Adam)
Grace Choi
Clearly I missed my life calling of making paper doll cutouts for beefy Amazons.
Updated Artemis’ base model a bit and also gave her some more traditional Bana clothing and what she looked like in the Shim'tar armor for the AU.
I had to get a little creative with the Bana clothing because, well, if you’re familiar with what the Bana wear in the comics you know that it wasn’t exactly the most inspiring. No bikini warriors unless it’s a character just REALLY feeling they want to rock it please!
It’s also out of respect for my partner in this AU that I resisted drawing the one canon Artemis outfit. You know the one. The translucent pants and giant metal codpiece. I’m not saying it doesn’t exist in this AU. I’m just saying Hinn deserves to NOT deal with me constantly joking about it ; P
Huh, Pierce Brosnan’s Dr Fate appearing to have an impersonation of Patrick Stewart’s Professor Xavier voice is an interesting choice.
As is Hawkman of all people to say how heroes don’t kill people, which is funny because he’s typically one of the few biggish names in DC who does kill and maim people on the regular in the comics (even at one point chopping a supervillain’s arm off because a more important thing had cropped up and the guy was wasting his name with banter), in addition to how in the current interconnected DCEU (pre-Flash reboot anyway) ALL of DC’s main superheroes kill people, with the exception of Shazam and his family.
Because we still didn’t know what Marwan’s Sabbac look like and only have the Funko to compare with
Dwayne Johnson is really keeping Marwan Kenzari as his super secret weapon - still no sign of confirmation except the one Funko.
Still the similarities are uncanny but I wonder if it’s the same thing for other actors when they look similar in different “pop culture” parts like Marwan does here.

Summary Justice League Vs. The Legion of Super-Heroes #3: The Justice League is trapped in the 31st century with the Legion of Super-Heroes, while the…
Day Two of CinemaCon. From some attendees’ accounts it started out soft with Neon (who, along with A24, are holding down the indie ground that Annapurna Pictures had to vacate due to financial issues). Neon’s offerings?
- The full length trailer for David Cronenberg’s CRIMES OF THE FUTURE starring Viggo Mortensen (who has starred in four Cronenberg films. Mortensen returned the favour and cast Cronenberg in his directorial debut FALLING), Léa Seydoux and Kristen Stewart. The trailer will be released to the public next week ahead of its Cannes debut.
-Brett Morgen’s MOONAGE DAYDREAM which is a feature length tribute to David Bowie featuring concert footage and interviews.
-DocumentaryFIRE OF LOVE about married volcano scientists.
WB brought out their big guns -
No not the superhero films -Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s arms!
Johnson took center stage to promote his two projects: BLACK ADAM (whose trailer was shown) and DC LEAGUE OF SUPERPETS.
Other news:
-BATMAN returns….for THE BATMAN 2 with director Matt Reeves, RPattz and the other Gothamnites in tow.
THE NUN also gets the sequel treamen
As expected were teasers for THE FLASH, AQUAMAN AND THE LAST KINGDOM, SHAZAM! : THE FURY OF THE G-DS.
Logo for BLUE BEETLE starring COBRA KAI’s Xolo Maridueña.
BLUE BEETLE was to get the HBO Max treatment but WB decided for a theatrical release. Rumors is that they are pondering doing the same for their live-action BATGIRL.
Non-hero content was WONKA,
theSALEM’s LOT remake (produced by James Wan, going back to his horror roots) and Olivia Wilde’s DON’T WORRY DARLING.
A good portion of WB’s presentation was carved out for Baz Luhrmann’s ELVIS starring Austin Butler (who will be in DUNE 2) and Tom Hanks as Colonel Tom Parker.
Luhrmann who is behind electric and eclectic projects like STRICTLY BALLROOM, ROMEO +JULIET, MOULIN ROUGE and Netflix’s THE GET DOWN will hopefully bring the same pizzazz to ELVIS. If Doja Cat’s offering for the soundtrack (snippet) is any indication the film won’t be a paint-by-numbers biopic.
Also news of the release date of the live-action BARBIE film starring Margot Robbie,
Ryan Gosling, Will Ferrell, Simu Liu and Alexandria Shipp and others. BARBIE -written by Greta Gerwig and her partner Noah Baumbach and directed by Gerwig - drives her pink corvette to the theaters on July 21, 2023. BARBIE is conterprogrammed against Universal’s OPPENHEIMER which will be released the same day. OPPENHEIMER is Christopher Nolan’s first film with Universal after he defected from Warner Bros. after their direct to streaming debacle in 2021.
Universal/Blumhouse ended the evening with a screening of the film THE BLACK PHONE starring Ethan Hawke.
This is not Hawke’s first Blumhouse film -he starred in SINISTER and the first (and very different from the subsequent entries but no less great) THE PURGE.
Also out of Universal is news that Justin Lin has dropped out of directing the tenth FAST AND FURIOUS film FAST X. This was to be his sixth FAST film.
When she was young, Maxine Hunkel dreamed of flying with the Justice Society. Now she finally has the powers and the opportunity…but will she say yes? Guest-starring Hawkman on the road to Black Adam!
Plus, continuing the Teth-Adam backup story: trouble hits home for Adrianna Tomaz as Intergang mercenaries invade the hallowed halls of her university, on the hunt for the sacred totem she “liberated”—but what strange metal is the idol made from, and why does Intergang need it so badly?
