Yesterday, it was announced that Matt Ryan’s John Constantine will officially return for an episode of Arrow this season, following his NBC series’ cancellation. The crossover will take place in episode five of the show’s fourth season, titled “Haunted.” Following this announcement, TV Insider spoke with executive producer Marc Guggenheim on this decision, and how it ties into the episode’s storyline. Guggenheim admits that he is very excited about Constantine’s guest star appearance, which he calls a “one-time-only deal.” He adds, “Each year on the show, we have added and expanded the mythology with different elements. In Season 2 we introduced the idea of superpowers, last year brought in the…

One of the biggest questions that came from the announcement of CBS picking up Supergirl for their fall season has been: “Wait, it’s not going to be on CW?”  It’s a valid question, the series is produced by Flash and Arrow’s Greg Berlanti and Andrew Kreisberg, and CW has found a lot of success with those series.  CW President Mark Pedowitz spoke to the Television Critics Association today about why they passed on Supergirl. Pedowitz said, “Last summer Flash had not been on the air yet.  We had Arrow and Flash and we were not planning to do another DC character. Supergirl was talked about by Warner Brothers to us.…

Today, The CW has released a new promotional image from season two of The Flash. It recreates the classic “Flash of Two Worlds” comic book cover, which features Flashes Barry Allen and Jay Garrick. The comic book served as the introduction of Earth-Two, and subsequently the Multiverse, to DC Comics. This new image also features Barry Allen, donning his new Flash suit, and we also have our first official look at Teddy Sears as Jay Garrick. While it’s not a particularly large image, it offers a decent look at Garrick suited up as the Flash of Earth-Two. And it is a very faithful adaptation from the source material. Check out…

Many fans were disappointed by NBC’s decision to cancel Constantine. Since then, there have been many suggestions on where to take the series next if it were to be continued. A popular one was to have Matt Ryan’s John Constantine appear on Arrow or one of its two spin-off shows, The Flash and DC’s Legends of Tomorrow. All three of these shows are stationed at The CW. Now, Constantine lives indeed. The CW announced today at its Television Critics Association panel that Matt Ryan will reprise his role as John Constantine for an episode of Arrow this season. While the episode’s plot is unknown, CW president Mark Pedowitz called it…

One Suicide Squad actor whose character has yet to be confirmed is Ike Barinholtz. The Mindy Project star was previously rumored for the role of Hugo Strange, but we don’t even know for sure if that character is in the film. During an interview with Zap2it, Barinholtz still won’t say who he’s playing, but he offers a few hints. Perhaps unsurprisingly, Barinholtz is not playing a good guy in Suicide Squad. He says, “I can tell you my character in that movie is someone you would not want at your house for dinner. He’s a very troubled human being.” He then suggests that his character may be revealed “by the…

Following Tom Hardy’s acclaimed performance as Bane in The Dark Knight Rises, the actor was set to return to the DC Universe as Rick Flagg in Suicide Squad. Unfortunately, he was forced to exit that role, but a few months ago, he teased that another collaboration with Warner Bros. and DC Entertainment was in the works. After much speculation, we now know which project Hardy was talking about – but it is not a mainstream DC property. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Hardy is set to produce and potentially star in a film adaptation of Vertigo’s 100 Bullets. He is producing alongside Dean Baker as a part of their Hardy…

The CW’s next superhero show, DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, will focus heavily on time travel, especially with the inclusion of time traveler Rip Hunter and the thousands of years-old Vandal Savage. This has led to speculation that another fan-favorite DC character, Booster Gold, could appear on the series. The producers of The Flash expressed interest in including the character in this universe, particularly since that SyFy series from a few years back never moved forward. However, don’t expect Booster to appear in Legends of Tomorrow – at least in its first season. Speaking with The Hollywood Reporter, showrunner Phil Klemmer confirmed that Booster Gold will not show up anytime soon, possibly…
