Red Hood Reportedly a “Top Priority” for DC Cinematic Universe; JOHN WICK Directors Being Courted For a Film
Latino-Review is back with another DC movie scoop, and this one is a doozy. According to the site, directors Chad Stahelski and David Leitch – who helmed last year’s acclaimed action flick John Wick – are being courted by Warner Bros. to take on an unspecified DC film.

Manu Bennett Criticizes ARROW’s Depiction of Deathstroke
Inarguably one of the highlights of Arrow has been Slade Wilson/Deathstroke, played wonderfully by Manu Bennett. After a recurring role in season one, Wilson became the big bad of season two. However, he has only appeared in one episode of the current season. Some fans were disappointed with Slade’s return in season three, since he only had a few minutes of screentime in the entire episode. It appears that Bennett was also displeased with this. Speaking with theMusic, Bennett criticized the direction the Arrow writers took with Deathstroke. “I think Deathstroke had a lot of possibilities with Arrow but, I think they took it in the wrong direction.” He adds…
