With a mind like a steel trap, he's an endless fount of movie and TV trivia, borne from a misspent youth of watching monster movies on TV, perusing the sun-faded goods at the local video rental shop, and staining his fingers with ink from the Video Movie Guide. Areas of interest include science fiction, film noir, horror flicks, '70s disaster pictures, Bond movies, '90s action, giant robots, dinosaurs, super heroes, and the exuberantly schlocky output of Cannon Films. He also enjoys both Star Trek and Star Wars when they're good, and maybe even more when they're bad. As a Canadian, he also has a vested interest in Canadian movies and TV shows, especially the cheesier ones dubbed "Canuxploitation." An expert on Marvel Comics, he has also written for the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe, and is a member of the Marvel Research Team. He can frequently be found pontificating on comic-book continuity or bemoaning the misfortunes of the Toronto Maple Leafs on his Twitter account.

Continue to check back with us as we will be adding more information as it becomes available.It seems the DC Universe, for the moment, is contracting. After last month's revelation that Booster Gold, the comedy superhero series being developed by Our Flag Means Death's David Jenkins, was not going forward at the studio, two more in-development series have joined it in the back-issue bins, permanently. When James Gunn ascended to the role of the new DC Comics cinematic universe, his arrival was heralded with an ambitious slate of projects designed to take on cross-town rival Marvel's ever-expanding MCU. That slate, dubbed "Chapter One: Gods and Monsters," has already had some ups and downs; Superman and Creature Commandos were released to good notices and receptive audiences, but this summer's Supergirl failed to launch. Other projects, including a film based on the antiheroic super-team The Authority, seem to have stalled indefinitely, while others, like the Batman-focused The Brave and the Bold, have yet to materialize. As reported by Variety, Waller and Paradise Lost are no longer in development at DC Studios. Waller was to center around Viola Davis' Amanda Waller, a shadowy government operative who keeps a tight rein on the world's superhumans. First introduced in 2016's Suicide Squad, which was part of the now-defunct DC Extended Universe, Waller survived the transition to a new cinematic universe, appearing in Peacemaker and Creature Commandos. Paradise Lost was to have centered around Paradise Island, the home island of Wonder Woman and her people, the Amazons, and would have been a precursor to an eventual Wonder Woman movie.
