"Dogma" and "Chasing Amy" writer/director Kevin Smith will once more be writing Daredevil. The filmmaker wrote the "Guardian Devil" story for Marvel Comics in the late nineties, and now he's returning to write a story in which Matt Murdock/Daredevil crosses over with a DC character Smith has written: Oliver Queen/Green Arrow.
First look at a Daredevil & Green Arrow crossover story featured in the 'BATMAN/DEADPOOL' comic.

We already knew DC and Marvel were once more crossing over in September for "Deadpool/Batman" #1, but on Friday, Marvel reported that the issue would include backup stories with more crossovers between the two companies, including "Daredevil/Green Arrow".

It's a fitting match-up considering the writer. Along with writing Daredevil in "Guardian Devil", Smith also wrote "Quiver," a ten-issue storyline that launched a new volume of "Green Arrow" for DC Comics and brought the dormant archer back to life.

The main "Deadpool/Batman" story is written by Zeb Wells with art by Greg Capullo, and the "Daredevil/Green Arrow" match-up won't be the only extra crossover story.
The issue will also include "Captain America/Wonder Woman" by Chip Zdarsky and Terry Dodson and "Jeff the Land Shark/Krypto" by Kelly Thompson and Gurihiru.
"We're going to all corners of the Marvel and DC Universes, and the creators are having an absolute blast finding the unexpected and unexplored connections between these characters," said Editor Mark Basso.
"We can't wait for the fans to experience the same jaw-dropping moments we are! And we've got some more secret stories in the works, so keep your eyes peeled for more to be revealed!"
"Deadpool/Batman" #1 hits shelves on September 17.
It isn't the only big comic book crossover that Smith has been involved with lately either. On July 9, Archie Comics releases "Kevin Smith Presents: Archie Meets Jay & Silent Bob".

Set after the events of 2022's "Clerks III", "Kevin Smith Presents: Archie Meets Jay & Silent Bob" finds Archie getting a job with Randal at the same store where the latter clerk used to work with Dante.
Smith said about the crossover, "Not only is this my stab at a classic American franchise that existed long before me that I read as a kid ... It's a midlife crisis project about death and learning to deal."

15 Richest Fictional Characters — How Much Would They Be Worth in Real Life?
You don't have to be real to be rich, and in today's tumultuous economy, living in fantasy is a lot less likely to lead to disappointment. For You: Try This: These 15 super-wealthy fictional characters from film, TV, books and games hold a wide variety of occupations ranging from superheroes to crime lords, but they all have one thing in common — a net worth in the billions. Occupation: King of Wakanda Estimated net worth: $90 trillion Character from: Marvel comics Marvel comic book character T'Challa reigns over the fictional African country of Wakanda, which is home to nearly all the world's reserves of Vibranium — a super-strong metal that, according to the comics, is the main component of Captain America's shield. This premium metal comes with a precious price tag, coming in at $10,000 per gram. No wonder everyone shares the sentiment 'Wakanda forever,' as it is home to 10,000 tons of Vibranium, putting the royal family's net worth in the trillions. Some estimates have Black Panther's personal wealth at just $500 billion, but either way, he's doing all right. Occupation: Mine and mill owner Estimated net worth: $65.4 billion Character from: 'Donald Duck' comics Penny-pinching Uncle Scrooge McDuck came from humble beginnings before amassing his fortune. McDuck's first job was shining shoes before he left his native Glasgow to dig for gold in the Klondike. After pulling himself up by his shiny bootstraps, he eventually started founding mines and mills that helped him build his billion-dollar fortune, which he was rare to share. McDuck famously stored his fortune in a giant money bin filled with gold coins, which not only helped out his tax situation, but also served as his daily cardio where he could swim laps. Consider This: Occupation: Plunderer Estimated net worth: $54.1 billion Character from: 'The Hobbit' Being a pillaging dragon has proved fruitful for Smaug, who appears in 'The Hobbit' book and movies. According to the novel, Smaug sleeps on a pile of gold and silver, has diamonds and other precious stones encrusted in his belly, and also owns the Arkenstone of Thrain, a giant diamond 'worth more than a river of gold in itself.' Basically, he's giving really, really rich vibes. Occupation: Business owner and inventor Net worth: $43.4 billion Character from: 'Iron Man' Marvel's Tony Stark inherited much of his wealth after his parents were killed in a car crash (which was actually an assassination), leaving him to run the successful firm Stark Industries. Though he wasn't a natural businessman, the company has been profitable thanks to the leadership of Virginia 'Pepper' Potts. However, much of Stark's net worth comes from his valuable inventions, investments and properties, including his Iron Man suits (worth $7 billion), Stark Tower, his J.A.R.V.I.S. computer program (worth $10 million), mansion (worth $25 million) and luxury cars. Occupation: Defense contractor Net worth: $36.2 billion Character from: 'Annie' Oliver 'Daddy' Warbucks is the owner of Warbucks Industries and a successful defense contractor, but you know, with a heart of gold. Even though Warbucks has donated much of his earnings to philanthropic causes at the urging of his adopted daughter Annie, the Iraq conflict caused a boom in his net worth, bringing it to $36.2 billion, so not such a hard-knock life after all. Occupation: Business owner Net worth: $31.3 billion Character from: 'Batman' The comic book hero better known as Batman, Bruce Wayne inherited his fortune when his parents were gunned down in front of him when he was only a kid. Wayne came to own Wayne Enterprises, which was worth $27.4 million at the time according to a Batman comic released in 1974, and grew its value significantly. The Dark Knight knows his way around a royal sum of money. Occupation: Shrimp sales/Investor Net worth: $27 billion Character from: 'Forrest Gump' Forrest Gump's business partner, Lieutenant Dan, had the foresight to invest profits from their shrimp boating sales into 'some kind of fruit company' — which turned out to be the very profitable Apple Inc. Gump is estimated to have put $100,000 (at the time 3% ownership) into the company when it went public in 1980, which at the $22 stock price would have given him about 4,545 shares. Occupation: Rich kid Net worth: $23.9 billion Character from: 'Richie Rich' Richie Rich is the only child of two incredibly wealthy parents who gave him everything he could ever want. Sadly, Rich's parents were killed in a plane crash orchestrated by the head of a rival company. Though this is usually the recipe to raise a nightmare human, he seems to spend his substantial fortune in stride. Occupation: Power plant owner Net worth: $10.4 billion Character from: 'The Simpsons' Mr. Burns owns and operates the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant on 'The Simpsons' and sometimes resorts to unsavory means to ensure profits, which is super rare for someone with his wealth or in his position of power (*sarcasm). While his business practices are (literally) shady, his financial outlook is 'excellent.' Occupation: Businessman Net worth: $10.1 billion Character from: DC Comics DC Comic villain and Superman archenemy Lex Luthor built his financial empire through business savvy, intelligence — and backstabbing and murder. What a relief, he's a fictional character. Luthor is the founder of LexCorp, a multinational conglomerate that has acquired many smaller businesses, including airlines, communications companies and banks. Occupation: Candy maker Net worth: $8.4 billion Character from: 'Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory' Willy Wonka is the owner of the greatest chocolate factory in the world, and though the factory was temporarily shuttered, Wonka managed to profitably reopen it after a lengthy hiatus. It helps not to focus on Wonka's engaging in some unethical business practices, namely his use of Oompa Loompas — who some posit were slaves — to manufacture his products, as this is just a rich guy in a children's story. Occupation: Crime lord Net worth: $8.4 billion Character from: 'Star Wars' Jabba the Hutt of 'Star Wars' fame gained his fortune through a life of crime. As a gangster and crime lord, Jabba secured wealth for his planet Tatooine by controlling piracy, slavery and the trafficking of illegal goods. Described as 'the wealthiest gangster in a hundred worlds,' Jabba lives in a palace and keeps a flesh-eating monster for entertainment. Occupation: Media baron Net worth: $5.8 billion Character from: 'Citizen Kane' The star of Orson Welles' 'Citizen Kane' used the inheritance from his family's gold mine to purchase the newspaper The New York Inquirer. Although the paper wasn't making money initially, Kane relied on yellow journalism, sensationalism and poaching talent from other papers to grow his into a successful business. A modern Kane likely would have expanded his holdings to include radio, television and movie studios. Occupation: Archaeologist Net worth: $1.3 billion Character from: 'Tomb Raider' franchise Lady Lara Croft is the Countess of Abbington and owns the Croft Estates, which include three separate manor houses. Croft inherited a fortune from her parents after their separate untimely deaths. Although she has family money, Croft has followed in her father's footsteps and works in the archaeology field — though many detractors question her methods. She has even been accused of stealing treasure from the sites she discovers, which is how she got the nickname 'Tomb Raider.' Occupation: Real estate investor Net worth: $1.2 billion Character from: Monopoly Mr. Monopoly, formerly known as Rich Uncle Pennybags, has several profitable real estate holdings in the Atlantic City, New Jersey area. You can tell the board game mascot has money by his fancy suit and top hat, which he is never seen without. He should also be paid, or at least get residual checks, for being the first mascot of capitalism. Gabrielle Olya contributed to the reporting for this article.

Ezra Miller has 'a lot of remorse' for past controversies, talks Hollywood comeback
After a shaky time in the spotlight, Ezra Miller isn't ready to sprint back to Hollywood. "The Flash" star, whose Hollywood ascent was derailed amid mounting legal issues, addressed their past controversies and future in the entertainment industry in an interview with Lo Speciale Giornale published June 19. Miller, 32, spoke to the Italian outlet shortly after attending the Cannes Film Festival in May for their first major red-carpet appearance since falling from grace. Miller said they appeared at the renowned film festival at the request of their friend, "Die My Love" director Lynne Ramsay, adding that their relationship with the movie industry is on "tentative grounds." "If you've been in the woods for three years, I do not recommend going straight to Cannes, where every photographer and every weirdo, every rich genocidal freak (will) be there, you know what I mean?" Miller said. "It's not an easy reentry." 10 bingeable memoirs to check out: Celebrities tell all about aging, marriage and Beyoncé Miller broke out on the big screen in 2012 with a role in the coming-of-age drama "The Perks of Being a Wallflower," later playing Credence Barebone in the Harry Potter "Fantastic Beasts" franchise (2016-2022) and superhero speedster Barry Allen in "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" (2016) and "Justice League" (2017). But in 2022, a series of highly publicized scandals cast a shadow on Miller's rising star. The actor was arrested in Hawaii on a charge of disorderly conduct in March, followed by an arrest on suspicion of assault in April. A few months later, Miller was accused of grooming an 18-year-old activist by the teen's parents and also charged with felony burglary in a separate incident in Vermont (Miller pleaded not guilty). "Not that I don't hold a lot of remorse and lamentation for a lot of things that I did and for a lot of things that happened in that time, but I'm really, really grateful for the lessons that came with that abyss," Miller reflected. Ezra Miller's past legal troubles: What to know about actor's controversies In an August 2022 statement to USA TODAY, Miller said they were undergoing treatment for "complex mental health issues" following the string of criminal and abuse allegations brought against them: "I want to apologize to everyone that I have alarmed and upset with my past behavior. I am committed to doing the necessary work to get back to a healthy, safe and productive stage in my life." "When we go through those crucibles, if we can survive, which was up in the air for me if I'm being real, we then have that capacity to see other people in their crucibles and just to reach towards them," Miller told Lo Speciale Giornale. "That grows more and more rarefied in our world, too. Like, the capacity to do that, the desire to do that, the willingness to do that." "The Flash" premiered in June 2023 and despite earning mixed reviews from critics, the DC superhero flick grossed $271.4 million worldwide. While Miller hasn't appeared in a major project since the film's release, the actor said they've been "writing a lot," including working with Ramsay on a movie that will "likely" be their first new release.
