Amazon's Prime Day sale has wrapped up, but we're spotting some deals that are still live today, including a sweet 25% discount on the Chefman Everything Maker, a clever kitchen gadget that can make almost anything.

But the Price Day price brings it down to just $45, which is a steal. The midnight version is also on sale for 20% off. Too often, all-i

Report: David Zaslav Pushed Back on Ta-Nahesi Coates’ Black ‘Superman’ Movie for Being ‘Too Woke’

On the eve of James Gunn’s highly anticipated Superman film, the Wall Street Journal released a quantitative report that essentially signaled the film as Warner Bros.’ last chance to make its comic book brand soar. No pressure. However, within the lengthy, half-pop culture, half-financial report was the revelation that Warner Bros. CEO David Zaslav turned down a script for a Black Superman movie in 2022 because he felt it was too woke. According to the WSJ, the Black Superman script, which was

Will That Massive ‘Superman’ Revelation Impact the Future of DC?

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2025-08-01 04:30:35

James Gunn’s Superman centers on a few key moments. One of the biggest is the message Kal-El, played by David Corenswet, was left with from his Kryptonian parents. If you’ve seen the movie, you know how it plays out. (And, if you haven’t, it’s a pretty big spoiler, so proceed with caution.) Either way, it’s a bombshell revelation that changes not just the character but the entire trajectory of the movie, and so we had to talk to the people most directly affected by it.

Review: Stellar cast makes Superman shine bright

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-08-01 04:27:51

I'll be frank: I had mixed feelings, based solely on the trailers, about James Gunn's Superman reboot. Sure, the casting seemed great, Gunn has a winning track record on superhero fare, and Krypto the dog stole the show every time he appeared. The trailers struck a nice balance between action, humor, and heart. Yet the film also seemed overpacked with super-character cameos, and it was hard to get any sense of the actual plot. I've now seen the film, and those impressions were largely correct.

It feels almost offensive to immediately look past Superman now that the film is in theaters, but you kind of have to. After waiting several years to see what James Gunn had in store for this official kickoff to this brand-new, rebooted DC Universe, now we know.

His biggest teases are in the movie itself, with the two end credits scenes serving a different purpose. Le
