THE UNIT’s Demore Barnes Joins THE FLASH Cast as Tokamak
One of the things that became apparent during the first season of Flash was the link between Barry Allen’s origin and the origin of another DC Hero, Firestorm. At times it even seemed much of the first season was built more around the origin of Firestorm than the titular hero. Season two of the Flash seems set on continuing that good relationship as Demore Barnes joins the cast as one of the Flamebrain’s top villains, Tokamak. A native of Toronto, Barnes first made his way to the screen in the late nineties in a TV movie called White Lies. From there, he made some guest appearance on a few television…

FEATURE: Five Actors Who Should Be Considered to Play Green Arrow in the DC Extended Universe
In recent years, Green Arrow has become a more prominent character in the mainsteam DC Universe. The CW’s television adaptation Arrow has been a hit, Oliver Queen became a fan-favorite in previous shows such as Justice League Unlimited and Smallville. Meanwhile, in the comics, Green Arrow was a member of the Justice League of America, and writer Jeff Lemire’s run on the character received critical acclaim. With this franchise at its highest point right now, it would be surprising if Warner Bros. did not cash in on that with a Green Arrow movie, especially after the unproduced Escape From Supermax script from a few years ago. Sure, the studio may wait until…

Warner Bros. CEO Comments on Pushing BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE to 2016
When Warner Bros. originally announced Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice back in 2013, a release date for July 2015 was set. Of course, the film would later be moved to May 2016, in order to give the creative team more time to make the best movie possible, before moving up a few weeks to March 2016. And unsurprisingly, moving Batman v Superman out of 2015 had a notable effect on WB’s box office results. While the studio has had a few hits this year, such as San Andreas and Mad Max: Fury Road, other films, such as The Man From U.N.C.L.E. and Magic Mike XXL, underperformed. Thankfully, 2016 looks…

Michael Shannon Teases His Role in BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE
After some speculation and rumors, the Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice Comic-Con trailer confirmed that Michael Shannon’s General Zod – or, at least, his body – will return in the Man of Steel follow-up. There have been various rumors regarding how Zod factors into the film’s storyline, but Shannon has shared an intriguing hint when recounting a humorous incident on set. Speaking with Vulture, Shannon recalled that he once got stuck in a porta potty on the Batman v Superman set because he was wearing flippers, and thus, he couldn’t use his hands. “I was in my costume, and I couldn’t use my fingers because in the sequel I…
