Justice League: Crisis On Infinite Earths – Part Three, picks up from the closing moments of Part Two with a distraught Supergirl killing The Monitor, an act that somehow sends everyone into The Bleed, “an unstable dimension that exists outside The Multiverse, truly neither here nor there.”

That means it’s hidden from the Anti-Monitor, and it’s also extremely unstable. How unstable you ask? Ten minutes into the film and what’s left of Earth – 1’s downtown Metropolis is being overrun with dinosaurs. It seems the various Earth’s pasts, presents and futures are in a constant state of collision. Nazis, armed with weapons confiscated from supervillains including Scarecrow’s fear toxin,...

Batman is one of those superheroes that you can never get bored with, and even if you are not getting the main character himself, his villains and allies are also very entertaining to watch. That’s why in this article, we will discuss all of the upcoming Batman projects, including the upcoming Joker sequel and Matt Reeves‘ The Batman spin-off series The Penguin. We have divided all the titles into two parts: live-action and animated. While most of the fans are only privy to the live-action Batman films, the hardcore fans have been seeing much more of the Dark Knight in DC’s animated universe. So, check out all of the upcoming Batman movies and TV shows below.

The first full-length trailer for Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths - Part Three has just hit (via Toonado.com), and it teases what looks to be a high-stakes finale to this animated trilogy (and the Tomorrowverse as we know it).

With the Anti-Monitor on the loose, a whole host of heroes assemble to save the Multiverse, but it looks like that will be easier said than done when they also have Lex Luthor to contend with. Several other villains are also spotted, including The Joker, Scarecrow, and Two-Face.

In terms of cameos, the trailer ends with another Batman: The Animated Series tease. Batman Beyond also appears, but perhaps the biggest surprise comes when we return to the world of the Super Friends!

Physical ended right where it began.

In the opening moments of Wednesday’s series finale, the action jumped from 1983 to 1986, mirroring the fleeting flash-forward that kicked off the dark comedy’s pilot. In the intervening three years, Sheila (Rose Byrne) and Greta (Dierdre Friel) have fulfilled their ambitious vision of turning Body By Sheila into the female-driven multi-million dollar, 50-state franchise that is Strength By Numbers. But professional success has come at a price for Sheila: She’s lonely. What’s more, her mental issues remain ever-present. But the return of her fitness foil Bunny (Della Saba) allows her to repent for her original sin,...

In a slight change of pace from my recent viewing pleasures I decided to check out Office Race. A movie that by all accounts was to be a laugh-out-loud comedy about a work-shy losers quest to train for a marathon and beat his asshole boss.

I think we have all gone through this particular event in our lives, right? No? Just me then? To be completely honest, I needed to close my brain off for a little while and have a bit of a laugh so this was as good a time as any to check Office Race out.

Pat (Beck Bennett) is stuck in his dead-end job, but to be fair he actually kind of likes things that way because...

If you’ve ever been around a runner or went to high school pretty much anywhere, you’ve probably seen the cross country shirts with the message, “Your team’s punishment is our team’s sport.” It’s not untrue that runners are usually not shy to talk about running, whether they’re asking you to make a donation in support of them running a marathon or trying to get you to come on a run with them in a snow storm because the texture is just better that way.

Yet, aside from films like 2007’s “Run Fatboy Run” starring David Schwimmer, there are no comedies that punch up at runners the way “Caddyshack” did for golfers or “Slap Shot” did for hockey players. So, when producers Brian Hunt of Believe Entertainment Group and Marc Lieberman from Above Average teamed up to make an ensemble comedy with a very specific kind of audience,...

Comedy Central has announced an all-new, star-studded TV movie called Office Race coming this September. Starring Saturday Night Live alum Beck Bennett, Joel McHale, Kelsey Grammer, Alyson Hannigan, J.B. Smoove, and more, Office Race centers around “an unambitious office worker [Bennett] who goes to great lengths — specifically 26.2 miles — to defeat his exercise-obsessed, micromanaging boss [McHale],” according to Comedy Central. Erinn Hayes, Geoffrey Arend, Kylie Bunbury, Karolena Theresa, Katlyn Carlson, and Matt Richards also star. Bennett’s Pat is described as “a passionless pushover who coasts aimlessly through life until he’s goaded into running a marathon and soon discovers his love for the sport.” McHale, Pat’s boss and rival, is “a brown-nosing fitness fanatic with zero self-awareness and a crippling addiction to a quasi-legal sports drink.” Hannigan plays “Girlfriend Pat, Pat’s same-named girlfriend, who’s growing weary of his lackadaisical approach to life,” with Hayes as Rita, “a potential investor...

Exclusive: Joel McHale and Beck Bennett are starring in a new TV movie that is set to debut on Comedy Central.

The pair are fronting Office Race, which also stars Kelsey Grammer, Alyson Hannigan and J.B. Smoove.

Office Race centers around an unambitious office worker (Bennett) who goes to great lengths—specifically 26.2 miles—to one up his exercise-obsessed, micromanaging boss (McHale).

The film, which debuts on September 4 at 8pm, is directed by newcomer Jared Lapidus, who wrote it with Impractical Jokers writer James Kilmoon. It marks their feature film debut.

Kylie Bunbury (Big Sky), Erinn Hayes (A Christmas Story Christmas), Geoffrey Arend (500 Days of Summer), Katlyn Carlson (iCarly), Matt Richards (That Damn Michael Che) and Karolena Theresa (You Hurt My Feelings) also star.

SNL star Bennett will play Pat, a passionless pushover who coasts aimlessly through life until he’s goaded into running a marathon and soon discovers his love for the sport.

Mostly revealing legs for days and not much else, the redhead appeared to be lying on a couch for a lean stretch while showing off her lower assets in all their smooth glory.

The new Apple TV+ series Physical opens with verve. It is 1986, and we are in the dressing room of a TV studio where a woman — who has her back to us for this whole opening sequence, but whom we’ll soon get to know as Sheila Rubin (Rose Byrne) — sits quietly in front of the makeup mirror, psyching herself up with Heart’s “Straight On” playing on her Walkman. She then (in a mostly unbroken take) struts out to the stage to record the aerobics workout show she apparently hosts.

It has been said, Very often, that Warner Bros’ animated DC movies are the highlight of the DC cinematic universe – often surpassing their live-action counterparts in terms of performance and story, with more animated hits than live-action misses. The long-running series of animated movies was recently rebooted, no longer needing to fit into the continuity of The New 52, under the “DC Universe Movies” banner… the latest of which is Justice Society: World War II.

The film finds modern-day Barry Allen – prior to the formation of the Justice League – discovering he can run even faster than he imagined, and that milestone results in his first encounter with the Speed Force. The Flash...

Comic fandom has crossed so thoroughly into the mainstream, that mass media is proving elastic enough to encompass what was previously considered the obscure. Case in point, the just-released Justice Society: World War II direct-to-video film. Here is a story focused on the first comic book team that finally gets the spotlight after making cameos and guest appearances on animated and live-action television productions dating back to Smallville.

I personally love the Jsa and was thrilled they were getting a film of their own. Unfortunately, the finished product is not the Jsa we know, nor is it a particularly good piece of storytelling. Producers Butch Lukic and Jim Krieg apparently started this project as a Wonder Woman in WW II story that morphed and was appended to the parallel worlds concept.

TV show description:

This dramatic series revolves around Elizabeth McCord (Tèa Leoni), a newly appointed Secretary of State. She's a shrewd and determined woman who drives international diplomacy, battles office politics and circumvents protocol as she negotiates global and domestic issues -- both at the White House and at home.

A college professor and a brilliant former CIA analyst who left the agency for ethical reasons, Elizabeth returns to public life at the request of the President -- following the suspicious death of her predecessor.

Madam Secretary‘s President Elizabeth McCord has averted nuclear war, survived impeachment proceedings and re-won American hearts and minds — and all of that in just the last episode! — so yeah, she’s earned a day of celebration.

And what better reason to kick back and sip bubbly than her daughter’s wedding, which just happens to take place in the CBS drama’s series finale on Sunday (10/9c)?

During her time as Secretary of State, Madam Secretary‘s Elizabeth McCord fearlessly has brokered peace, de-escalated wars and advanced human rights causes around the world. But on a sticky night in late August, a bit of horsehide and some red stitching had the former diplomat on edge.

The nerves stemmed from the fact that the (fictional) Elizabeth, played by the (real) Téa Leoni, was set to throw the first pitch at the (real) Indians vs. Mets game at New York’s Citi Field… as American presidents have been known to do.

Madam Secretary is losing a series regular ahead of its final season.

TV Line is reporting that Sara Ramirez is stepping down as a series regular, but there's hope that she could return for a guest appearance to wrap up her character's storyline.

Ramirez has played Kat Sandoval on the political drama since the fourth season. She was drafted in to replace Bebe Neuwirth, who played Nadine Tolliver.

If you watch Madam Secretary online, you know that Kat had left the world of politics behind prior to Elizabeth managing to bring her back into it.

Ramirez is best known for her role on the ABC medical juggernaut Grey's Anatomy. She departed the series after over a decade in the role in 2016.
