Prepare for nostalgia with McFarlane's latest superpowered dip into the DC Multiverse, available for pre-order now. McFarlane Toys has established an impressive reputation for producing quality action figures over the past three decades. The firm’s sculpts combine accurate likenesses, spectacular design, and incredible articulation, allowing fans to display their favorite characters just as they want. The level of detail they offer is a legacy of the eye-catching comic book art of the company’s founder, Todd McFarlane. Understandably, fans were thrilled when McFarlane gained the rights to produce action figures based on the characters of DC Comics in 2019. The DC Multiverse does what it suggests in every universe. Constant waves of figures have been drawn from the broad range of DC’s multimedia properties. That means famous storylines and crossover events from the page sit side-by-side with the latest movie models. The newest Collectors Edition wave, now available for pre-order below, doesn’t disappoint with room to visit the extraordinary multiverse of Grant Morrison, a pivotal moment in Supernman’s life, and one of Batman’s most controversial movies, Batman & Robin. Batman & Robin Movie Batman 7-Inch Scale Action Figure
Batman & Robin Movie Batman 7-Inch Scale Action Figure
George Clooney’s Batman achieved infamy for many things in the runtime of Joel Schumacher’s gloriously over-the-top Batman & Robin. Top of the list must be his Batsuit’s nipples, so fans won’t be disappointed to find them accurately represented on this 7-inch model. The 22 points of articulation almost seem like an afterthought on a figure that will be high on the list for Bat-completists. Available to pre-order for December 2023. Batman & Robin Movie Robin 7-Inch Scale Action Figure
Having arrived in 1995’s Batman Forever, Chris O'Donnell’s Robin shared top billing in the follow-up. This incarnation of Dick Grayson wasn’t for every fan. Still, this impressive sculpt captures the character’s cocky superheroics, including some fetching ice freeze effects when he’s tried to take on chilling villain Mr. Freeze alone. Available to pre-order for December 2023. Batman & Robin Movie Batgirl 7-Inch Scale Action Figure
Alicia Silverstone’s Batgirl only made it into one Batman movie, with a backstory reimagining her as the niece of Bruce Wayne’s loyal butler Alfred. It’s yet another lifelike build for a character who, like Joel Schumacher's final Bat film, is enjoying a kinder retrospective a quarter of a century on. Like all the characters in this wave, the model comes with a stand and collectible art card. Available to pre-order for December 2023. Batman & Robin Movie Poison Ivy 7-Inch Scale Action Figure
Batman & Robin was famously overstuffed with villains, none of whom fared well. This was a particular shame for the first live-action incarnation of Batman’s legendary floral foe. This impressive movie-authentic likeness of Uma Thurman’s Rogue stands 7 inches tall and has 22 points of articulation. Available to pre-order for December 2023. Superman and Krypto Return of Superman 7-Inch Scale Action Figure
One of Superman’s most iconic eras celebrates its 30th anniversary in 2023: Mullet Superman. This is a bulky comics-accurate version of the last son of Krypton, who emerged from the epic Death of Superman event in the 1990s, complete with a bright, long-hair, and trusty companion, Krypto the Superdog. Fans who have previously released characters from the comic event, like The Eradicator, will be thrilled to add the “Mane of Steel” to their collection. Available to pre-order for January 2024. Batman as Green Lantern 7-Inch Scale Action Figure
Early McFarlane releases dug into the epic Dark Nights Metal comic event, producing some impressive Batmen of the Dark Multiverse. While it was fun to see the Bat twisted to mirror other members of the Justice League, this model is a lighter take, imagining the Dark Knight as the Emerald Gladiator in better circumstances. This distinctive model is an eye-catching collector's piece with a power battery, energy effects, and swappable hands. Available to pre-order for January 2024. Captain Carrot Justice League Incarnate 7-Inch Scale Action Figure
Pre-orders suggest this is the most popular model in this wave, and it’s easy to see why. Captain Carrot, a multiversal analog for Superman, first appeared in 1982. However, this model takes inspiration from the reinvention of Carrot and his Zoo Crew by legendary comic book writer Grant Morrison, who steered them to a role in the epic Final Crisis event. Earth-26’s member of the Multiversal super-team Justice Incarnate is available to pre-order for January 2024.

Everybody, everywhere all at once last year was head-over-heels in love with the scrappy martial arts science-fiction flick Everything Everywhere All At Once, the little A24 film that toppled giants at award show after award show . I went into the movie almost entirely blind. I knew it was a predominantly Asian cast including the wonderful Michelle Yeoh and Ke Huy Quan, and I knew that it was some kind of martial arts indie superhero movie or something. I didn’t watch any previews. I’d just gathered bits and pieces here and there. For the first hour of the movie I was enjoying the hell out of it. Ke Huy Quan, in particular, was just delightful, especially when you first start to see him switch between his normal self and the multiversal version that takes over, leaping around like a ninja in the security cams. The visuals, the fight scenes, the family dynamics, all of it was great. And then it just kept going. And going. It’s not that it’s even that long of a film—2 hours and 19 minutes is short these days, lord help us—but it just kept dragging on with fight scenes that felt endless and redundant and a story that hinged too much on something I’ve grown to detest: The Multiverse—aka, the biggest storytelling cop-out in the history of storytelling. When one deus ex machina isn’t enough, try infinite deus ex machinas all wrapped up in a MacGuffin. Don’t get me wrong. I liked how the movie ended (and that it did, finally, end) and found the mother/daughter stuff quite poignant. I might have even shed a tear or two. But I walked away from the movie thinking that for a film that took so many shortcuts, it sure was tedious. I still, to this day, cannot understand how it won 7 Academy Awards, and frankly disagree with most of them. Forbes VettedFor You
Part of the problem is that I don’t really think Everything Everywhere All At Once really did much to subvert the multiverse stuff being pumped out of mainstream Hollywood. I don’t even think the family-centered theme—a dimension-spanning war of daughter against mother(s)—is all that different than a lot of what you’ll find in the MCU or DC. I mean, The Flash is all about family and splitting timelines leading to chaos and destruction. Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness was basically about Wanda’s motherhood issues. Wanda

The point here isn’t really to cast shade on EEAAO, but rather to point out that in all of these movies and TV shows, the multiverse is primarily a narrative crutch that creates magical answers to any problem (or creates magical problems that require magical answers) and that this kind of storytelling ultimately kills any kind of meaningful stakes we might have. Without stakes, you don’t have any tension. Without tension, not only are the stories boring, they create a sort of apathy or malaise across audiences. Sure, Tony Stark is dead in this universe, but if Disney can pay Robert Downey Jr. enough, they can always bring him back from some other dimension. Hey, you can write a whole movie script about it. Make it a buddy comedy, where Tony Stark and Steve Rogers are both brought to our world and have to navigate the weird and quirky differences they discover. Yeah, would you be that surprised? It’s one thing to reboot Batman or Superman in a new series with new actors. It’s another thing to just bring back characters in an established franchise from the dead or from some other dimension. One of my favorite superhero movies of the last couple years was Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse, one of the most inventive animated films I’ve ever seen, but even there, as fun as the myriad versions of Spider-Man were, it felt like almost too much. The more contained Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse kept its story more intimate and while the stakes were still high, it worked without relying too much on the multiverse (similar to Spider-Man: No Way Home, which dipped its toes into the multiverse but kept the stakes closer to home). A third—Beyond The Spider-Verse—is in the works. I genuinely hope it’s great, though I continue to believe that what makes this trilogy great has much less to do with the multiverse and much more to do with the animation and relatable characters.

I’m catching up on Loki still (and very much enjoying the second season) but there’s a scene in (I believe) Episode 2 when one of the TVA leaders goes rogue and starts destroying timelines. “Those are people!” one of the characters cries out, looking at a screen showing a timeline being erased. I felt . . . nothing. I mean, who felt more during this scene than they did when that cowardly punk killed John Wick’s puppy? I’m not saying we have to feel that bad all the time, but if you’re going for big emotions, you better deliver! At least when Thanos snapped his finger, there were ramifications to the world and characters we cared about in the story (though I would argue they never explored these properly). Here it’s just . . . okay, so what? If there are infinite timelines and infinite people, you can just keep killing them forever. I don’t cry for the skin cells I shed each day. That’s how insignificant a multiversal or branching timeline story becomes. Thanos’s atrocity isn’t even a drop in a bucket at this point. I could keep rattling off movies and shows that have crutched on this gimmick—The Flash on CW kept bringing back Harrison Wells from the dead with greatly diminishing returns—but that would be a long list. I also realize that a lot of these tendencies come from the comics, where it’s useful to have a multiverse around to explain why this or that superhero who died five years ago was able to be revived. Loki

But I prefer more creative takes. One of my favorite X-Men comics was the Age Of Apocalypse, which was basically It’s A Wonderful Life but with Professor X being killed by Legion, and the dramatically worse outcomes that led to in the future. This type of alternative timeline is fun but doesn’t give studios cart blanche to do whatever they want across all their movies or shows. (I realize even that storyline is part of a larger multiversal comic uber-plot). I also kept hoping that Zack Snyder and DC would do the Injustice Superman story, giving us a fun, dark alternative take on the Man of Steel. Alas, that was not to be. I just wish we could do these alternative takes and versions of characters without having to tie them all back to the MCU or DCU or whatever. I’m more excited for the Joker sequel than most of the upcoming superhero films attached to broader universes. In any case, here we are in Phase 5 of the MCU with plenty of multiverse to come in the form of Kang and his myriad variants, though so much depends on what happens with Jonathan Majors—brilliant in the role, but caught up in domestic violence charges and other accusations in real life. What a pickle for Disney. A bigger pickle, however, may be how all these studios extract themselves from this horrible reliance on the multiverse, which clearly isn’t resonating as well with audiences as they’d hoped. As we all know, there can be too much of a good thing. One universe is plenty big enough, and often even the big world-destroying storylines are the least meaningful. Give me Logan over Justice League any day of the week. It’s easier to care about a little girl and an old man than The Fate Of The Whole World. But that’s another story for another time or maybe even, dare I say, another universe? Let me know your thoughts on Twitter or Facebook . Follow me on  Twitter . Check out my  website .

Multiverse and the Burning Glass Institute release new research identifying the opportunity to close skills gaps through apprenticeships, which could move hundreds of thousands into the middle class
NEW YORK, Nov. 13, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Multiverse and the Burning Glass Institute (BGI) released a comprehensive new workforce study of the US labor market that explores the growth potential of apprenticeships and talent pools as a source for a wide range of professional roles in the US. The report – Untapped Potential: How new apprenticeship approaches will increase access to economic opportunity  – identifies 830,000 new apprenticeship opportunities that could open up annually and highlights the roles and types of workers who could fill them. By mapping apprenticeship-ready occupations in the US, this report identifies the pathways that workers can follow to move from various occupations across industries – which could result in $28.5 billion in higher earnings each year – creating pathways to higher wage roles for workers across America. "Apprenticeships have the potential to galvanize the US economy by providing pathways that can be expanded to millions of workers who could apply their skills to the roles of the future," said Euan Blair, CEO and Founder of Multiverse. "The inability for skilled-workers to break into sought-after careers and the financial strain placed on employers needing to attract, retain and train talent can be addressed through the adoption of on-the-job training – which is a win for the company, worker, and economy at large." Mapping the Workforce Landscape
According to the report, there are nearly 128 million people in the US workforce who stand to gain from new on-the-job training opportunities; this includes workers who are underemployed, stuck in their jobs with limited options for advancement or mobility, or whose progression is gated behind the need to acquire new or more relevant skills to advance in their fields. Multiverse and BGI identified four cohorts of note:
36 million high-churn, low-wage workers without bachelor's degrees;
10.6 million career starters without bachelor's degrees;
12.8 million underemployed college graduates; and
68 million mid-career workers who are seeking a chance for better pay. Collectively, these four populations of workers constitute 70% of the entire US workforce. The Apprenticeship Opportunity in the US
Despite outdated narratives around apprenticeships, they are no longer just about young people learning a skilled trade on the job. As workplaces and careers become more complex, apprenticeships are becoming a powerful tool for employers to attract talent and fill their skills gaps, and for workers to achieve upward mobility in their careers. According to the US Department of Labor (DOL) , over the last 10 years, active registered apprenticeships have grown by 106% – with more than 600,000 total this year. In fact, in a review of 332 million job postings since 2014, the report noted that over the last five years, there has been a 6.5x increase in the frequency of using terms like "upskilling, reskilling, and on-the-job training" in job ads to help attract talent. Identifying the parameters of what qualifies as an upwardly mobile apprenticeship opportunity – such as good wages, demand and growth, accessible training pathways, and no strict occupational licensing or universal degree requirements – Multiverse and BGI found 149 "target occupations" in the US, 20 of which already boast substantial and growing numbers of apprenticeship opportunities. Interestingly, the report also noted that the jobs that are most apprenticeship-ready tend to require more skills than other occupations, and often have limited access to workers who did not graduate college due to degree requirements. The average job advertisement for an apprenticeship-ready occupation lists 11 skills; for all other occupations, the average is 7 skills, reflecting the importance of skilled workers to employers. "The fact that the most apprenticeship-ready occupations require more skills highlights the role and importance of on-the-job training," said Asha Aravindakshan, US General Manager of Multiverse. "Therein employers will find the benefits of apprenticeships. The apprentices will learn these skills on the job alongside their employees and demonstrate a mastery and knowledge of the skills necessary to launch a great career." Upskilling the Experienced Workforce
The research also focused on the upskilling of the 68 million mid-career workers whose onward progression is gated by limited upward mobility or more advanced skill needs – but upskilling offers opportunities for these workers to advance in their careers. This group presents a special case because their need is often for upskilling (rather than reskilling) within an occupation. For those in this group, the emphasis is to stay in the same occupation while advancing and gaining new skills, which leads to greater job responsibilities and higher pay. Strengthening the Economy through Alternative Career Pathways
While apprenticeships have grown in both interest and adoption in the US, they are still not a mainstream part of the American workforce. In comparison, the UK has a well-established apprenticeship system that has fueled its workforce and its economy for decades. According to an analysis of the British apprenticeship system, qualified apprentices in 2019 were projected to add £7 billion to the economy by the end of 2029. In the last year, Multiverse found that their 10,000 apprentices across 1,000 employer partners had created $669 million in bottom-line benefits through their work . Using the UK's "mature apprenticeship" system as a model, the report predicts that an apprenticeship-mature US workforce would host over 830,000 new apprenticeship opportunities per year. Not only could this represent $28.5 billion annually in wage increases to the workers pursuing these apprenticeship pathways, but it would also open up opportunities for workers who are disproportionately blocked by career barriers like the paper ceiling. "We know that with Boomers retiring, more people sitting on the sidelines of the labor market, and big economic shifts in the wake of the pandemic – the workforce we have isn't always the workforce we need," said Matt Sigelman, President of the Burning Glass Institute. "Apprenticeships can be a powerful mechanism for unlocking worker potential and bridging the gap between workers yearning for opportunity and businesses starving for talent." Advancing Equity and Diversity through Apprenticeships
Research confirms that the workers who are most affected by being stuck in high-churn, low or unimproving wage work, or underemployment are disproportionately: women, Black and Hispanic workers without a degree. As businesses continue to focus on attracting and retaining diverse talent and improving equity and inclusion in their ranks, apprenticeship programs can create a strong pipeline of qualified and underrepresented talent who are proven to be effective on the job. About Multiverse
Multiverse is on a mission to create a diverse group of future leaders by building an outstanding alternative to college and corporate training. They offer apprenticeships to a diverse pool of young adults and those looking to reskill. Multiverse helps 1,000 organizations to embrace digital transformation, close skills gaps and develop a diverse talent pipeline. Apprentices benefit from individualized coaching, applied learning, and a community of social, networking and leadership opportunities to exceed the best of the university experience. Founded in the UK in 2016, Multiverse launched in the US in January 2021. For more information, visit www.multiverse.io

New Report: Apprenticeships Poised to Move 830,000 Workers Into Strong Careers, Creating $28.5 Billion in Additional Earnings in 2024

Recently, Variety released a bombshell article alleging that Marvel Studios is rethinking its plans for its ongoing Multiverse Saga following the lackluster success of its many films and TV shows. The studio is even supposedly pondering not having Kang the Conqueror be the saga’s overarching villain after all since the character’s actor, Jonathan Majors, is now on trial for accusations of domestic violence.

All in all, the studio clearly needs to return to the drawing board to bring the Marvel Cinematic Universe back to its former glory, and the higher-ups should consider doing these things in a revised Multiverse Saga. Recommended Videos

Many have criticized the MCU for following the same formula in its project, with one key component being the hero having to defeat the villain to save the world. But at this point, the Earth getting put in jeopardy doesn’t feel as exciting anymore, as it’s so common, it could very well show up on the weekly weather forecast in that reality. Related
In the future, the MCU should focus more on putting the hero’s personal world at risk to make new conflicts more grounded. For instance, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3  was more about the heroes protecting one of their own from the High Evolutionary, as opposed to saving the entire galaxy from destruction. Audiences have seen enough of Marvel’s heroes trying to save the world. How about more of them try to save themselves for a change? Reinvent Thor
Marvel Studios / Marvel Studios
Taika Waititi’s work on Thor: Ragnarok helped revitalize the titular hero by injecting silliness and seriousness into his character. However, the director seemed to have put too much of the former in the God of Thunder’s fourth solo film, leaving him in dire need of another character change. Should Marvel Studios choose to reinvent Thor again, they should approach him like they did in Avengers: Infinity War, as the way the character tried to redeem himself after suffering so much pain and loss to Thanos arguably made it the best chapter in his story. Bring back the original Avengers
Marvel Studios / Marvel Studios
On top of rethinking Kang’s role in the Multiverse Saga, Marvel Studios has reportedly considered bringing back the six founding Avengers for another film. This would be quite a move since both Iron Man and Black Widow sacrificed themselves in Avengers: Endgame, with Steve Rogers going back to live a normal life married to Peggy Carter in the same film. Since these three heroes had such fitting conclusions to their run in the MCU, bringing them back could ruin these endings for fans. However, the studio succeeded in bringing back iconic heroes and villains in Spider-Man: No Way Home, and they could very well do the same with Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine in Deadpool 3. Perhaps bringing these pivotal heroes back for one last ride together could give the Multiverse Saga a fitting sendoff, especially since it has been rumored to end with a reboot of the MCU in the vein of DC’s The Flash. Kill off the Council of Kangs
Marvel Studios / Marvel Studios
This may seem like a bold move, given that the MCU has hyped an infinite amount of Kangs threatening the Multiverse with Loki and the third Ant-Man film. However, this twist actually occurs in the comics, as Immortus originally gathered the council so he could kill all the variants of him he considered inferior. If Marvel Studios does change their approach to Kang as a villain, getting rid of all his other variants could be a surprising twist that will make Immortus far more threatening. Bring back Scarlet Witch
Marvel Studios / Marvel Studios
Scarlet Witch may have sacrificed herself to destroy all the Darkholds in the second Doctor Strange film, but given her connection to Kang in the comics, the MCU seems to have built up too much to kill her off now. To explain, in the source material, Kang’s variant, Immortus, orchestrated the traumatic events in Wanda’s life so he could eventually take control of her shattered mind. Since Wanda has pretty much followed the same path as her comic book counterpart in the MCU, it would seem like a missed opportunity not to bring her back so Immortus could have her take on all her former Avengers for control of the Multiverse. Make Doctor Doom the true big bad
Marvel / Marvel
Since Marvel is planning to make a Secret Wars film and introduce the Fantastic Four, it only makes sense for Doctor Doom to end up being the final antagonist of the Multiverse Saga. 2015’s Secret Wars storyline does see Doom absorb the almighty power of the Beyonders, destroying every universe in a series of incursions, and ruling over a Battleworld created in his image as God Emperor Doom. Having Doom overthrow Kang as the saga’s big bad would be a shocking but fitting twist, given the former villain is the Conqueror’s ancestor. And since the Beyonder in the MCU has been rumored to be a variant of Kang on Twitter , Doom could likely become the God Emperor by harnessing his descendant’s realty-warping power, establishing himself as the saga’s final boss. Recast Kang
Even if Marvel Studios decides to make Doctor Doom the final villain, they should simply have a different actor play Kang going forward if Majors is found guilty. The MCU is no stranger to recasting its characters, as they did so with War Machine, the Hulk, Red Skull, Cassie Lang, and even Thanos. Getting someone else to play Kang may seem difficult, especially since Majors set a high bar with his outstanding performance as the villain. But seeing how the MCU already built up Kang as a threat to the Multiverse, it would be a mistake to throw away his character now just to have Majors be his sole actor. Editors' Recommendations
