It’s hardly a secret that Ben Affleck’s Bruce Wayne/Batman is a crucial character in the DC Extended Universe. He will make his debut in next year’s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, before making an appearance in Suicide Squad a few months later. Then, Batfleck will be in the two-part Justice League epic, while Affleck will direct, co-write and star in a standalone Batman feature. Fortunately, it looks like we’ll get even more from Affleck’s Batman than expected. According to Den of Geek, a “near finished” cut of Batman v Superman was screened for the film’s crew and Warner Bros. executives within the past 24 hours. Apparently, the film received a…

Arguably one of DC Comics’ greatest villains is Brainiac, a frequent enemy of Superman and sometimes the rest of the Justice League. This alien android, who collects data, cities and even planets throughout the universe, is a formidable foe in the DC Universe, making it a surprise that he has yet to be adapted to the big screen. Last year, Brainiac was rumored to be the main villain of 2017’s Justice League Part One, and recently, director Zack Snyder confirmed that the character is indeed coming “down the road” for the DC Extended Universe. If Brainiac is indeed making his movie debut in Justice League, then casting should be announced…

So, anticipation is high for his role on The Flash this season. Now, the character has officially been cast. The CW has announced that Insurgent actor Keiynan Lonsdale is set to play Wally West on The Flash. The character will be a series regular role. Executive producer Andrew Kreisberg had this to…

With the final push toward the Fall TV season underway it’s time for the networks to fire up the hype machine for the general public.  Today, Fox released these two new posters for Gotham: Both posters feature the full cast, including new villains James Frain and Jessica Lucas as “Theo and Tabitha Galvan.  Both posters also feature the Gotham skyline inverted implying that things will be turned upside down.  Where they differ is that one features this season’s tagline: “Rise of the Villains.”  While the other uses the cast to create an image that I’m sure I’ve seen before but just can’t place… Included with these posters are cast pictures…
