End of an Era.

I felt like Jimmy Olsen the first time I asked Cole about Home of DCU. Outside comic book Twitter, Cole is a great friend and filmmaker. I’m excited to see where this new chapter takes him.

[Cole Knight @realcoleknight]

Hey everyone, my name is Cole Knight, and I run Home of DCU. I started Home of DCEU back in 2021 (and I was Aquaman Film News prior to that) with the hopes of bringing back hope to the DC fandom. I grew up a DC fan, and I actually enjoyed some of the early DCEU films including Batman v Superman. I faced years of jokes from friends and family for being a fan of a depleted DC. Obviously, for the longest time it was bleak, but when James Gunn was announced as co-CEO, there was a tremendous beam of light in this space. Gunn was quick to draw a label for his rebooted universe: the DCU, and so I converted to Home of DCU.

When news hit that Paramount was circling Warner Bros., I knew it was trouble. Not just for DC, but for the corporate world we live in. Mergers are never really good. DC fans know this well because we’ve been through quite a few acquisitions/mergers at this point, and it’s always led to trouble. This time hits worse, because we’re only two years into a reboot, and even with some mistakes/downsides along the way, things looked good! From what we’re hearing, Man of Tomorrow seems like the event film to lift this universe deep into the developing story (leading into other heroes & the Justice League). Now, it’s all a question mark for the future.

I’m very hesitant on Jeremy Latcham, especially considering Skydance was upset that Gunn/Safran would be reporting directly to Ellison. It seems like another case of corporate executives dictating decisions without any creative or original thought, which we were used to with the DCEU.

I’m here to announce that I’ll be changing Home of DCU to a personal account. I’m a film production graduate, so you can expect a lot of film chat from me. I’ll still commentate on DC, but I’m not going to dedicate myself to reporting on DC consistently going forward. @DCFilmNews @DCU_Updates @DCdaily @DCUBrief are great update accounts to keep track of. All are good friends of mine.

To my DC friends and family: Don’t give up loving these comics, characters, and stories. I certainly won’t. Hopefully, DC will see the light at the end of the tunnel one day.

With love,
Home of DCU

This is a film thats a love letter to the craft (and Oregon). Even if its script has its flaws, I enjoyed every second of it.

I’ll now wait for someone to make a Wildwood edit with the Into the Woods soundtrack.

[Andy Espinoza 🇻🇪 @FilmmakerAndy]

When we talk about animation being cinema, it’s not just about celebrating every animated film, it’s about being able to tell a good story through the animated lens. Wildwood does this and much more.

[Andy Espinoza 🇻🇪 @FilmmakerAndy]

This is a film that trusts its audience to handle its complex themes. It takes its time to build its conflict. It’s doesnt shy from violence, but it shows you its weight. On top of that you see some of the most ambitious stop motion set pieces ever

Let’s support Cole and watch The Prowl, available NOW on YouTube.

[Andy Espinoza 🇻🇪 @FilmmakerAndy]

Today we celebrate the release of The Prowl, a short film that’s been two years in the making.

Watching @thecoleknight grow from a mentee to a friend, to his own filmmaker has been exciting to see.

[Andy Espinoza 🇻🇪 @FilmmakerAndy]

This was a project that I initially was involved as an actor, but as we got into the story I realized that there was a lot to it and I wanted to support it however I could.

This is the story that we’ve been waiting to tell, and couldn’t be any prouder of it.

[Andy Espinoza 🇻🇪 @FilmmakerAndy]

An awesome project I had the pleasure of working with @thecoleknight. Watch it now!

Primetime (2026)

This is felt less like a traditional biopic and more like an analog horror experience. It’s a dissonant, uncomfortable ride you can’t look away from. Robert Pattinson and Merrit Weaver kill in their roles. I want to give Skyler Gisondo a hug. This movie is crazy
