Production began last week on The Flash‘s fourth season. So far, we don’t have a whole lot of plot details. The Thinker/Clifford DeVoe will serve as this year’s main villain, while Barry Allen still needs to be freed from the Speed Force. (That’ll probably be resolved in one or two episodes.) In the meantime, we have some casting breakdowns for some new characters, including DeVoe. That Hashtag Show has shared breakdowns for three new characters who are joining The Flash this season. Each description reveals the character’s background, as well as their role in the season. For example, DeVoe will be a series regular role, and he received his powers…

Originally, the script for The Batman was written by Ben Affleck and Geoff Johns, with Chris Terrio later doing a rewrite. After Affleck stepped down as director, War for the Planet of the Apes‘ Matt Reeves took over. While promoting his new movie in various interviews, Reeves has dropped some tidbits on what type of Batman movie he wants to make: noir, detective-driven, personal, etc. And he wants to make it the way he wants to make it, rather than be constrained by the studio. Back when Reeves signed on for the movie, it was rumored that the script would undergo a page-one rewrite. This would make sense, as Reeves…

Entertainment Weekly has released its cover for this week’s San Diego Comic-Con-themed issue, and the cover story is Marvel Studios’ Black Panther. The cover features T’Challa (Chadwick Boseman), Erik Killmonger (Michael B. Jordan), and Nakia (Lupita Nyong’o). The issue also features a bunch of movie stills, along with new character and story details. Executive producer Nate Moore calls Black Panther a comic book mashup of The Godfather and the James Bond franchise. “What I think we landed on was sort of a cross between James Bond and The Godfather.

Supergirl has made a habit of casting actors from past Superman-based films and television shows. Dean Cain (Superman in Lois & Clark) and Helen Slater (Supergirl from the 1984 movie) play Kara’s adoptive parents, while Teri Hatcher (Lois Lane in Lois & Clark) played the villainous Rhea.
