Marvel Comics pauses to reflect upon the life and career of Eisner Award-winning comic book artist Tim Sale, a penciller, inker, and letterer who was widely known for his many collaborations with Jeph Loeb, many of which became instant classics. During his career at Marvel, he worked on several memorable miniseries, including DAREDEVIL: YELLOW; SPIDER-MAN: BLUE; HULK: GRAY; and CAPTAIN AMERICA: WHITE. He lived to be 66 years old.
DC is deeply saddened by the loss of Tim Sale, a wonderfully gifted artist and kind soul.
“The entire DC family is heartbroken at the news of Tim’s passing,” said Jim Lee, DC Chief Creative Officer and Publisher. “Tim was an extraordinary artist, who was masterful at storytelling and panel layouts and his compositions were second to none. I was always so impressed and inspired by his use of lighting and shadows which infused his work with foreboding gravitas and dramatic noir sensibilities.”
Tim was born in Ithaca, New York, in 1956. He attended the School of Visual Arts in New York City and started his comics career in 1983, working for independent publishers. At DC he teamed up with writer Jeph Loeb on a revival of The Challengers of the Unknown. The pair formed a long-lasting partnership and created a memorable series of Batman stories, including Batman: Long Halloween, an era and character-defining arc. Tim’s dynamic and highly stylized artwork quickly made him a fan favorite.
Tim and Jeph went on to create some of DC’s top-selling series, including Batman: Dark Victory, and Superman For All Seasons.

Lady Gaga is in early talks to star opposite Joaquin Phoenix in director Todd Phillips’ sequel to Joker, the Oscar-winning, $1 billion-grossing, 2019 Warner Bros. hit based on the DC villain.
If a deal is made, Gaga would play Harley Quinn. However, this new Quinn exists in a different DC universe than Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn, who most recently appeared in 2021’s The Suicide Squad as well as several other films.
But wait, that’s not all: Sources say the sequel is also a musical.

While “The Boys” star Karl Urban previously spilled the fourth-season beans when he said at Variety‘s SXSW Studio on March 12 that he was “shooting ‘The Boys’ through the end of the year,” well after production had already wrapped on Season 3, Friday’s renewal marks the official Season 4 pickup from Amazon.

Wonder Man is the latest Marvel superhero to get the screen treatment.
Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings filmmaker Destin Daniel Cretton has teamed up with Andrew Guest, a writer-producer on comedies such as Brooklyn Nine-Nine and Community, to tackle a live-action series featuring the longtime Marvel character.
Guest will serve as head writer of the series, while Cretton will executive produce and possibly direct an episode or more. Cretton is working via his overall deal with Marvel Studios, signed late last year in the glow of Shang-Chi’s success. The two will also act as co-creators for the series.
Development for what is being titled Wonder Man is in the early stages, but if things crackle, cameras could be rolling in 2023.
