After years of teases and hints, DC has finally revealed the event comic that will reunite the creative team behind the New 52 Batman series. Today at FanExpo Dallas, DC announced Dark Nights: Metal, an epic new series that promises to push Batman in unexpected new directions.

Though Dark Nights: Metal is a Batman-centric story, it'll also feature the Justice League and cover the width and breadth of the DC Universe. The series will follow Batman as he explores the secret history of Nth Metal (a rare substance from the planet Thanagar that powers heroes like Hawkman and Hawkgirl) and its impact on the course of human history.

“I’ve been planning Metal for as long as I’ve been writing Batman,” said Snyder in DC's press release. “But this is bigger than Batman. Greg and I started dropping clues during Court of Owls, we continued through our Joker stories and we placed our biggest hints in the run that culminated with Batman #50. And now we’re back to tell a story that breaks everything apart. This will be the definitive project of our careers. Metal takes us in an entirely new direction. Greg and I will dig beneath the surface of all the stories we’ve told to find a place of terror and twisted nightmares.”

When Paul Heyman speaks, people listen. A longtime presence in wrestling and a man who has worn many hats in his highly impressive career, Heyman has transfixed WWE audiences for years as the “Advocate” for Brock Lesnar, cutting one terrific promo after another to help hype up Lesnar’s marquee matches.

At WrestleMania 33, Lesnar is set to face Goldberg in a rematch with the WWE Universal Championship on the line, after a shockingly short Survivor Series face off that found the usually unstoppable Lesnar beaten in under 80-seconds by Goldberg in his first match in over a decade. As WrestleMania weekend began, I spoke to Heyman about this match, Goldberg’s return, and why Heyman thinks it’s not a big deal that neither Lesnar or Goldberg appear on WWE programming on a weekly basis. Plus, Heyman also shared his very complimentary thoughts on another member of the WWE locker room, Charlotte Flair.

Nicole Kidman revealed why she agreed to join the Aquaman solo film.

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Kidman confirmed she'll be playing Aquaman's (Jason Momoa) mother Queen Atlanna in the movie. While Kidman hasn't been a part of a comic book film since 1995's Batman Forever, the decision to join Aquaman's cast was an easy one to make for the actress, particularly because of director James Wan.

Kidman is a big fan of Wan's work and has "followed his career since he started." She's good friends with the filmmaker and when Wan offered her the role of Queen Atlanna, she couldn't pass up the opportunity to be a mermaid warrior.

However, in an interview with Deadline, Lerner revealed he isn't ready to throw in the towel yet, and believes something can still be worked out to bring Stallone back on board.
