GOTHAM: S1E2 ‘Selina Kyle’ Review
MINOR SPOILERS! First things first, the title of the episode is somewhat misleading as this episode doesn’t deal primarily with the future Catwoman. In fact she is not even a main player in the episode. While it doesn’t impact the story in any real way it does lead the viewer to assume that we are going to receive a bit more information on Selina, or ‘Cat’ as she refers to herself throughout. She finally speaks and we…

New Trailer For GOTHAM Season One Offers First Looks At Arkham City, Victor Zsasz And More
Gotham officially made its premiere last week – you can check out our review of the pilot here – and with its second episode airing on Fox tonight, we have a new promo trailer (via Spoiler TV) teasing what to expect from other episodes this week.

The trailer also teases developments for the series’ main cast, particularly the uneasy partnership between…

ARROW News Bits: Title For Second Half Of THE FLASH Crossover, New Ra’s al Ghul Details, Season 3 To Be More Grounded
This latest news round-up for Arrow offers some very interesting new details regarding the show’s highly anticipated third season. First up, writer and executive producer Marc Guggenheim has confirmed that episode eight of the season, which is the second part of its crossover event with The Flash, will begin production on Monday. Its title is “The Brave and the Bold.” This should be a very recognizable title to DC fans, as “The Brave and the Bold” was known as a team-up comic series. While the focus would sometimes be on Batman partnering with other heroes, the title has also starred The Flash and Green Lantern, with Green Arrow thrown into…

Y: THE LAST MAN Adaptation Dead Once More As Film Rights Revert To Creator
New Line Cinema had been planning a film iteration of the acclaimed Vertigo series Y: The Last Man for several years. Disturbia director D.J. Caruso and screenwriter Carl Ellsworth were planning to unite for the big screen adaptation, which was set to be produced by Man of Steel scribe David S. Goyer. Eventually, however, this incarnation fell apart. But in 2012, New Line hired a new team of writers to take another crack at the graphic novel, and it hired short film director Dan Trachtenberg to helm the project a year later. Since then, we’ve heard very little beyond the news that production would have to start soon or the film…

FEATURE: Five Actors Who Should Be Considered To Play SHAZAM
After years of development, Warner Bros. and New Line Cinema’s Shazam movie was finally confirmed to be moving forward this year. The DC adaptation will be written by Turbo scribe Darren Lemke, with wrestler-turned-actor Dwayne Johnson set to play villain/antihero Black Adam, a casting move that he and the fans have wanted for a long time. It’s currently unclear whether this film will be its own thing or a part of the DC Cinematic Universe, but don’t be surprised if they integrate Shazam into the world of Justice League eventually. The Rock’s passion for this project has been evident for years, and even though he isn’t playing the lead role, he will still…

CW President Doesn’t Rule Out TNT’s TITANS Existing In The ARROW And FLASH Universe
Even though DC Entertainment has been developing a number of new television shows recently, few of them will actually exist in the same universe. The CW is building its take on the DCU with Arrow and The Flash, while NBC is exploring the supernatural world with Constantine. Then there’s Fox’s recently debuted Gotham, CBS’ Supergirl and TNT’s Titans, among others. While some of these shows are definitely not crossing over with the Cinematic Universe, many of them are probably not going to cross over with themselves. However, it looks like one of these shows might just co-exist with Stephen Amell’s Arrow and Grant Gustin’s Flash. Speaking with Adweek for an article about DC’s…

Review: GOTHAM S1E1 “Pilot” by SonofArrogance
MINOR SPOILERS AHEAD. Let me start by saying that I am not a fan of the prequel genre, be they movies or TV shows. In my opinion they rarely add to the stories that they are foretelling. A lot of the time they simply serve to remove the mystique of the originals and there have been plenty of examples of this. Usually imagining what happened before is much more interesting than having it played out before you. I never seems as good as you imagined it would be. But there is an example of a prequel that makes the concept work, The Good, The Bad and the Ugly. The reason…

Harry Lennix Calls BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE A “Historic Event” And Teases THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS Influence
Last year at San Diego Comic-Con, Man of Steel actor Harry Lennix made his legendary announcement that Batman and Superman will share the big screen for the first time in the sequel, now titled Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Since then, it has been clear that the film will be influenced by the iconic graphic novel The Dark Knight Returns, which pitted the two iconic heroes in an epic brawl. Footage from the Justice League prequel shown at this year’s Comic-Con teased a big screen iteration of that very scene, with Batman wearing an armored suit that looked just like the comic version. While we wait for more official news…
