For the past year or so, there have been rumors and speculation that CBS’ Supergirl will crossover with The CW’s DC television shows, aka The Flash, Arrow and DC’s Legends of Tomorrow. Those involved with the shows have remained open to the idea, but didn’t seem to be in a hurry to merge the two worlds. Recent rumors suggested that a crossover between Supergirl and The Flash will happen later this season if the former was ordered for a full season – which it was. Now, Greg Berlanti – who is a producer on all four shows – once again weighs in on a potential crossover. Speaking with Entertainment Weekly,…

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is the start of a new cinematic universe, and also the first time we’ll see the DC Trinity – Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman – on the same screen. USA TODAY had a chance to speak with directors David Ayer (Suicide Squad), Zack Snyder (Batman v Superman), along with actors Henry Cavill and Ben Affleck (Batman v Superman). “I’ve been really impressed just as a working stiff to see how they’re doing it,” Affleck says, regarding the massive interconnecting universe they’re building. In a lot of ways, Batman v Superman and Suicide Squad are “the cornerstone of the beginning” Snyder said. The world will only…

One of the projects revealed by WB Entertainment at SDCC 2015 was an animated adaptation of Alan Moore and Brian Bolland’s seminal Batman story The Killing Joke, to be helmed by legendary animator Bruce Timm, one of the masterminds behind fan-favorite series such as Batman: The Animated Series and Justice League Unlimited. The Killing Joke tells the tale of The Joker as he attempts to drive Batman’s ally Commissioner Jim Gordon to insanity to prove that all it takes to break a person is “one bad day”, while also examining the psychology behind Batman/Joker feud and presenting a possible origin for the Clown Prince Of Crime. An animated adaptation has…

While TNT has passed on the Titans pilot, this week has also offered some good news on the DC television front. It has been confirmed (via TV Line) that NBC has ordered the pilot Powerless, a single-camera workplace comedy set in the DC Universe. Basically, the pilot and potential series will follow “the exceedingly average employees at an insurance company and their quest to find their own power as they mop up after superheroes’ town-trashing clashes.” So, in other words, Powerless will focus on a group of ordinary people in a world with superheroes and god-like beings – all in the form of a comedy show. The exact DC Universe characters in this…

Back in 2014, it was announced that TNT was developing a pilot and potential series titled Titans, starring DC Comics’ Teen Titans. We haven’t heard much on this one since, other than a team lineup and rumored production start dates. Unfortunately, it looks like the show is no longer happening – at least with TNT. TNT/TBS president Kevin Reilly confirmed at the Television Critics Association today (via The Hollywood Reporter) that the network has passed on Titans. He said, “We just decided it wasn’t quite where we wanted to go.” Akiva Goldsman was attached to write the pilot. While unsurprising, this move is an unfortunate one. A live action Titans…
