In 2011, Adrianne Palicki played Wonder Woman in a television pilot for NBC. The pilot wasn’t ordered to series, and it’s not hard to see why. However, Palicki did a solid job in the role of Diana Prince, to the point where fans wanted her to get another shot. Speaking with IGN, the actress looks back on her time as the iconic DC character. “I got to play Wonder Woman which was, by the way, maybe one of the coolest things ever.” She then reflects on the pilot’s rejection. “I wouldn’t say regret. I was devastated when it didn’t go and it was expected to. It was one of those things…

We now know that Gal Gadot (Fast & Furious 6) is set to play Wonder Woman in 2015’s Batman vs. Superman, and will presumably reprise the role for future solo movies as well as Justice League.

Over a week ago, a report surfaced claiming that DC Entertainment’s big announcement for 2014 is a plan to release two low budget movie adaptations (likely within the $20-40M range) a year. Among the titles that were mentioned were Suicide Squad, Deathstroke, and Booster Gold. A couple of those are included in the following list, suggesting which characters could headline their own lower budget films. Nightwing Dick Grayson/Nightwing will make his big screen debut in 2015’s Batman vs. Superman, but a solo film starring the former Robin would be an interesting and ideal way to go afterwards. Especially since this likely won’t be focused on much in the Zack Snyder-directed…

Before Ben Affleck landed the role of the Dark Knight in 2015’s Batman vs. Superman, a number of actors were rumored for the part. Josh Brolin was reportedly the frontrunner at one point, and the Labor Day star confirmed that he was in talks to play Batman. Now, speaking with the LA Times, Brolin looks back on being considered for the role, as well as the backlash in response to Affleck’s casting. “That whole thing was weird. You read stuff like, “I wish Ben Affleck would die.” It’s Armageddon because he’s going to play Batman. What’s happening? You can’t listen to any of it. It’s like a kid in a cereal…

Last night’s Arrow mid-season finale was electrifying (pun intended) to say the least. Among the multiple twists and plot developments was a rather inevitable move (SPOILER ALERT): Grant Gustin’s Barry Allen receives his powers that will lead to him becoming The Flash.

Speaking with Comic Book Resources, Gustin, Geoff Johns and Andrew Kreisberg discuss the planned spin-off. The actor had this to say about what he is looking forward to when he films the pilot. “I’m mostly looking forward to getting the pilot script and seeing how Barry’s…
