The Max docuseries wades through 85 years of comics history in just three parts. The voyage, in print and on the screen, comes at a crossroads for DC, one that suggests all paths usually lead back to Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman.

"Oppenheimer" seeks to match the mythological nature of its central theme -- an "American Prometheus," punished for bringing humankind the seeds of its potential destruction -- with a movie of equal heft, scale and (most of all) length. Writer-director Christopher Nolan's epic film essentially consists of three chapters, with the middle, Atlas-like, holding up the weaker, drawn-out beginning and end.

"Barbie" comes roaring out of the gate with an inventiveness and energy the movie perhaps inevitably can't sustain. Amid all the hype that has made its release an increasingly rare movie-going occasion, director Greta Gerwig's film proves an admirably ambitious attempt to ponder where Barbie fits in the 21st century -- less than it could be, but pretty close to being what it should be.

Just seeing Timothy Olyphant locked and loaded again as Raylan Givens will probably be enough for fans of "Justified," but the FX revival subtitled "City Primeval" more than justifies the encore. Featuring an older Givens with more to lose facing off against a truly nasty bad guy, the eight-part series overcomes a few clunkier elements to deliver the expected shoot-from-the-hip charms.

Christopher Nolan wants us to be wary of nuclear threat -- and he's not the only one.

To anyone whose first thought hearing Wilt Chamberlain's name is the number of women he claimed to have slept with, rest assured, "Goliath" has you covered. But the three-part Showtime documentary proves most notable for portraying the sensitive soul underneath the NBA great's brash exterior, as well as his trailblazing on behalf of athletes having a say in their careers and future.

Reuniting director Steven Soderbergh and Ed Solomon (the writer of "Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure" and "Men in Black"), "Full Circle" wages a battle between being twisty and feeling convoluted, finally coming out on the short end. An impressive cast makes this HBO limited series reasonably watchable, but in this case, what goes around doesn't completely come around.

Taking viewers into the huddle and locker room and onto the field, "Quarterback" offers a three-headed view of life in the NFL trenches that should be enticing to football fans. As it happens, though, not all play callers are created equal, with Super Bowl MVP Patrick Mahomes easily providing the best and most entertaining company, eclipsing the mere mortals who flesh out the Netflix docuseries.

After his save-the-movie-business heroics with "Top Gun: Maverick," saving the world seems like a relatively simple task for Tom Cruise in "Mission: Impossible -- Dead Reckoning Part One." Happily, he has some splendid help this time around, in that rare 2023 summer movie that has the scope and heft -- with a timely AI threat -- to support its "To be continued" framework.

Zayn is opening up about his life and career.

The Emmy nominations will be announced July 12, for a ceremony that should have a celebratory feel, with plenty of attention expected for acclaimed TV shows that bid farewell during the eligibility period, including "Succession," "Better Call Saul," "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel," "Barry," and "Ted Lasso."

British actor Julian Sands, whose remains were found last month after he disappeared during a climbing trip in a California mountain range in January, spoke of how "dangerous" the activity could be in his last UK interview before he went missing.
