SUICIDE SQUAD Wins Oscar for Best Makeup & Hairstyling
Suicide Squad became the first installment of the DC Extended Universe to be nominated for an Academy Award. The movie was nominated in the Best Makeup and Hairstyling category alongside Star Trek Beyond and A Man Called Ove. And, perhaps in one of the biggest surprise of the ceremony, Task Force X won. At the Oscars last night, Alessandro Bertolazzi, Giorgio Gregorini and Christopher Nelson took home the award for Best Makeup and Hairstyling for their work on Suicide Squad. It was the only comic book movie to win an Oscar this year. This also marks the first time that a DC Comics adaptation won an award since 2009, when The Dark…

BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE Wins Four Razzie Awards
While Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice made a lot of money at the box office last year, the majority of critics didn’t like it and the general audience was so-so. It’s arguably the most polarizing comic book movie to date. In fact, the “cool thing to do” has become talking trash about the film and greatly exaggerating its flaws. It’s gotten to the point where it picked up several nominations at this year’s Razzie Awards, and now, the results are in. Batman v Superman picked up a total of four Razzie awards, tying with Hillary’s America as the biggest “winner” of the event. BvS won in the “Worst Remake, Spin-Off…

Andrew Kreisberg Teases Plans for Proper Four-Way Arrowverse Crossover Next Year
Last fall, The CW aired the epic “Invasion!” crossover with Supergirl, The Flash, Arrow and DC’s Legends of Tomorrow. However, if one show got the short end of the stick in the event, it was definitely the former. The only crossover on Supergirl was a 30 second scene, which was included in the Flash episode anyways. Kara then appeared on the other shows, but no one from her supporting cast came in. At a recent press event (via Entertainment Weekly), executive producer Andrew Kreisberg addressed this, confirming that plans are underway for a “true” four-way crossover next fall. “Next year, we’re hoping to do a true four-way crossover. The great thing…

NIGHTWING Movie from LEGO BATMAN Director Enters Development at Warner Bros.
Given the presence of an older Batman in the DC Extended Universe, fans have widely expected that Dick Grayson, aka Nightwing and formerly Robin, is somewhere in this universe. There is a Robin suit in the Batcave that honors a fallen comrade, but that Robin is almost definitely Jason Todd. Now, Nightwing is finally joining the DCEU. Not only that, he’s getting his very own movie. The Hollywood Reporter reveals that Warner Bros. has put a Nightwing movie into development, and Chris McKay, who recently directed the wildly successful The LEGO Batman Movie, is in talks to direct. (McKay shared the news on Twitter, so is it still only in the negotiations phase, or is…
