Superhero Bits: Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League Delayed Again, Image Comics Turns 30 & More

As the above Instagram post indicates, Image Comics has been around for 30 years as of yesterday. This is a hugely important milestone for one of the most important companies in the game. Aside from Marvel and DC, there is no publisher out there doing more for comics than the one started by Todd McFarlane all those years ago. It gave us "Spawn," "The Walking Dead," and tons of other books that have gone on to become huge hits, not to mention spawning many movies and TV shows. One can only imagine there is much more in store as the superhero/comic book movie and TV craze refuses to die down. Here's to another 30, Image.

Apologies to DC fans on this one, but it looks like the wait for "Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League" just got a whole lot longer. According to a new report from Bloomberg, the much-anticipated video game has been pushed all the way to 2023. It was previously expected that the game, which sees Task Force X hunting down various heroes of the DC universe, would hit shelves this year. Apparently, we have the pandemic to thank for the delay. For what it's worth, as of this writing, Warner Bros. has not commented on the matter officially and no new release date has been revealed. We'll keep you posted in the coming days as any official info makes its way out into the world.

Alicia Silverstone played Batgirl in the much-maligned "Batman & Robin." But the time has come for someone else to take up the mantle in the form of Leslie Grace, who is starring as Barbara Gordon in the upcoming "Batgirl" movie for HBO Max. During a recent interview with ComicBookMovie.com, Silverstone shared her thoughts on the new film, revealing her excitement as well as some thoughts about the new costume.

"I think she's going to be wonderful. Her costume looks amazing and I'm happy for her. She must be very excited. Her costume looks way more comfortable than mine was [Laughs]. And a lot less vulnerable!"

Given that DC is going full multiverse right now, Silverstone was also asked about a possible return, and she replied, "I'm open to whatever the world brings me, right? I'll see what happens and flow." Make of that what you will, dear reader.

Recently, "Spider-Man: No Way Home" co-writer Chris McKenna appeared on an episode of "The Q&A With Jeff Goldsmith" to dig into some spoilers regarding the movie. Many had assumed that the Sinister Six were going to form up in the film's climax, though that didn't exactly come to pass. However, McKenna did explain that one could consider Tom Hardy's Venom the sixth member of the group.

"Yes, there was [talk of Mysterio or Rhino returning]. Yeah, there was definitely talk, like, 'Who is the Sinister Six here?' If you want six, you can always say Venom was the sixth [member] if you want. He's in the tag, he made it [into the MCU], but he never made it out of Mexico (laughs). There was always that talk of, 'Should we be doing officially the Six?'"

As those who have seen the movie are well aware, Hardy's Eddie Brock/Venom appears briefly in a post-credits scene that ties back to what happened in the one attached to "Venom: Let There Be Carnage." So while he's technically present during the events of "No Way Home," what McKenna is suggesting is kind of a stretch. Still, it's interesting to hear that perspective from one of the writers.
