DC’s Legends of Tomorrow with several recent crossover episodes that serve to set up the new series. as well as an exciting new trailer.

The new preview of Legends of Tomorrow features quite a bit of new footage from the series, and also provides a bit more context for the time-hopping adventure that will bring together many of the supporting cast members from Arrow and The Flash while introducing a few new, on-screen iterations of DC Comics heroes and villains.

Executive produced by the much of the creative team on Arrow and The Flash, Legends of Tomorrow brings together a ragtag group of heroes and villains from both series who are tasked with defeating the immortal villain Vandal Savage (Almost Perfect actor Casper Crump). Along with the time-traveling hero Rip Hunter (Doctor Who actor Arthur Darvill), the team must overcome their own differences in order to prevent Savage from destroying not just the world, but the entire time stream.

Along with Darvill and Crump, the series stars Victor Garber and Franz Drameh as the two men who become the powerful hero Firestorm, Brandon Routh as the superhero scientist Ray Palmer (aka The Atom), Caity Lotz as the resurrected assassin White Canary, Ciarra Renee as Hawkgirl, Falk Hentschel as Carter “Hawkman” Hall, Dominic Purcell as Heat Wave, and Wentworth Miller as Captain Cold.

Both Arrow and The Flash recently aired a pair of crossover episodes that not only bring both series’ casts together, but also serve as a lead-in to Legends of Tomorrow. The two episodes, titled “Legends of Today” and “Legends of Tomorrow,” aired December 1 and 2 on The CW.

DC’s Legends of Tomorrow is currently scheduled to premiere January 21 on The CW. The series has already received a full-season order from the network.

Vote for Joker in the new trailer for Harley Quinn season 3
Vote Joker in Harley Quinn season 3.

In DC's comic book universe, The Joker once ran for office with a simple campaign slogan: "Vote for me or I'll kill you." It's an oddly compelling argument, in its own way. Now, one of The Joker's animated counterparts is also running for office in the new season of Harley Quinn on HBO Max. And as you can see in the trailer below, Joker has his sights set on becoming Gotham City's next mayor.

Enter the world of The Sandman in Netflix’s new trailer
Tom Sturridge as Morpheus stands with his back to the camera in an image from the adaptation of Neil Gaiman's The Sandman.

In the late '80s and early '90s, writer Neil Gaiman and an assortment of artists collaborated on The Sandman comic book series, which helped redefine the medium for mature readers. It has taken the better part of three decades to bring this fantasy story to live-action, but the wait is almost over. Netflix has announced that the series will finally premiere this summer.

To go along with the news, Netflix dropped a new teaser trailer for the series which reveals how Morpheus (Tom Sturridge) was captured over a century ago. This was no small feat, since Morpheus is the King of Dreams and one of the Endless. Once Morpheus is freed, he finds himself somewhat unprepared for the mortal realm. And his own realm, the Dreaming, has been dying without his presence.

New DC League of Super-Pets trailer reveals the real villain
Krypto and Superman in DC League of Super-Pets.

Due to some recent release date shuffling, the animated film DC League of Super-Pets won't be premiering later this month as originally intended. Perhaps in part to tide fans over, Warner Bros. has released a new trailer for the kid-friendly superhero movie. In the latest footage, Krypto (Dwayne Johnson) loves his life with Clark Kent/Superman (John Krasinski). But he's much less enthusiastic about the love of Clark's life, Lois Lane. Unfortunately for Krypto, the good times aren't going to last.

When Marc Maron was cast as Lex Luthor, it was assumed that he would be the main bad guy in the film. However, the latest trailer reveals that the primary villain is actually Lulu (Kate McKinnon), a super intelligent and very tiny guinea pig. Our guess is that Lulu is Lex's pet, because she has access to Kryptonite, which is more than enough to capture Superman. And with the Man of Steel out of the way, the Justice League will also fall to Lulu's power.
