About Those DC Movie Website Domains…
Yesterday, after I did some digging, a slew of website domains for several DC Comics film adaptations registered by Warner Bros. went viral. This is understandable, given the expectation of at least some DC movies being announced soon. However, most of these domains are old, and without any further updates by WB, they will expire within the next couple years. Firstly, both ShazamMovie.com and AquamanMovie.com were originally registered back in 2000. While movies for both characters are in the works, these domains have existed years before the films entered development. So, even though both movies are expected to be released soon, these domains aren’t proof of that. Both domains are expected…

ARROW Season 3 Casts Two More Characters As Liam Neeson Seeks To Reprise Ra’s al Ghul Role
A couple more additions to the cast of Arrow‘s third season were made this week. First up, The Hollywood Reporter reveals that Glee actor Nolan Funk will guest star in the episode “The Secret Origin of Felicity Smoak,” which will finally reveal Felicity’s past. Funk will play her “hacker boyfriend” from her time at MIT, Cooper Seldon. Yeah, that does sound a lot like The Big Bang Theory‘s Sheldon Cooper. It’s unknown if Seldon will appear in the flashback portions of the episode or the present day portions, if not both. Meanwhile, Arrow has added yet another villain to its highly anticipated third season. According to Entertainment Weekly, Supernatural‘s Amy Gumenick…

In an interview with Access Hollywood, Carter was inevitably asked about her thoughts on Wonder Woman’s costume for Dawn of Justice.

Jesse Eisenberg Discusses Playing Lex Luthor In BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE, Joining The Comic Book Movie Craze And More
While Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice has included some of the most talked-about castings in recent comic book movie history, arguably the most unexpected choice was Jesse Eisenberg’s landing the role of Lex Luthor. While the Zombieland star is a great actor, many have not been sold on the idea of the Oscar nominee playing Superman’s greatest villain. While we have a while to wait before we get an idea of what Eisenberg’s Luthor will be like, the actor has offered some intriguing new details for his take on the character. Speaking with Total Film (via Comic Book Movie), Eisenberg is inevitably asked about playing Lex Luthor. He affirms that…

FEATURE: Five Actors Who Should Be Considered To Play Darkseid In The DC Cinematic Universe
Darkseid is without a doubt one of the most powerful villains in the DC Universe. He has frequently fought not only Superman, but he is also a credible antagonist for the Justice League. Despite this, the ruler of Apokolips has yet to receive a proper live action portrayal. He served as the big bad for the final season of Smallville, while Superman Returns director Bryan Singer stated that Darkseid was to be the villain of the now-defunct sequel. The character is widely expected to be the main foe in the Justice League movie, which is likely targeting a 2017 release. However, recent reports suggest that Darkseid will be saved for…

Scoot McNairy Talks Joining BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE And Interest In DC Universe Role
A couple months ago, Scoot McNairy was cast in an unspecified role for Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. More recently, the Argo actor was spotted on the set of the Justice League prequel wearing green mo-cap socks, leading to more speculation concerning his character. The most popular theory is that McNairy is playing The Flash, who is rumored to be making a cameo in Batman v Superman. Metallo is another option, while many have suggested that he is merely playing a character with damaged legs who blames Superman for the Metropolis’ destruction in Man of Steel. Personally, I like the idea of McNairy playing someone related to STAR Labs.…
