DC Entertainment is frequently seen at San Diego Comic-Con each year, but this year was particularly monumental for the company. New looks at two upcoming theatrical films were arguably THE highlight of the whole convention. There were also hints at other movies beyond 2016. Its television panel was also engaging, announcing new characters and unveiling new directions for its preexisting characters. And, as always, the next lineup of animated DC movies was announced, and among the 2016 slate is an adaptation of one of DC’s most iconic graphic novels. Below, we take a look at arguably the five greatest moments from DC’s presence at San Diego Comic-Con 2015. #5 –…

You thought that just because the only people in the San Diego Convention Center right now are the staff that you’d have your life back?  Oh no my friends, the hits keep coming.  This time it’s from Supergirl.  Now that fans at SDCC have legally seen the pilot episode it’s time for CBS to begin building hype for the October premiere. You can see each of the principle cast members’ photos at the bottom but here’s Melissa Benoist as Supergirl to start us off: Also included is the official series description: “SUPERGIRL is an action-adventure drama based on the DC Comics character Kara Zor-El (Melissa Benoist), Superman’s (Kal-El) cousin who,…

Warner Bros. screened the first footage from Suicide Squad at Comic-Con this weekend. Unfortunately, it was leaked online in mediocre quality by some punk with a cell phone. While the studio initially said the footage would not be officially released, they have now done just that. The three-minute sizzle reel for Suicide Squad is now online officially for your viewing pleasure. It focuses on the formation of Task Force X, with plenty of Harley Quinn and some intense shots of The Joker. There’s also a lot of Amanda Waller, Deadshot, Enchantress, and even a tease of a certain Caped Crusader. Check out the trailer below, and stay tuned for more…

Arrow promised a bold new direction for its fourth season at Comic-Con this weekend, debuting a new costume for Oliver Queen’s The Arrow Green Arrow and teasing a lighter tone. Production on the season is about to commence, with executive producer Marc Guggenheim confirming that the season premiere will be titled “Green Arrow.” Now, he and others have offered new details on what to expect. Speaking with io9 at Comic-Con, Guggenheim said that Arrow season four will not be as heavy on plot twists as season three was, promising a “new beginning.” The season will also be a return to Oliver’s public persona, and his dividing time between that and being Green Arrow.…

One of the more interesting scenes shown in the Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice Comic-Con trailer, which released the other day, depicted Batman in the desert. There, he was fighting soldiers wearing the Superman emblem; these same soldiers were seen kneeling before Kal-El. Batman was wearing a slightly modified outfit, with goggles and a trench coat. Fans have wondered where this scene would fit into the overall film. Is it a dream sequence, perhaps? Regardless, we now have a closer look at this suit. Photographer Clay Enos has shared a new Dawn of Justice image, featuring a closeup look at Batman in his desert garb from the shoulders up. Fans…

While most of us were spending Saturday trying to figure out how to live in a world where “The red capes are coming” the CW/DC Universe was continuing to push forward.  Last night, the DC/TV panel provided an opportunity for the fans and the press to get to know what will come from them in 2015 and 2016, and Zap2It had the chance to talk TV’s new Hawkgirl, Ciara Renee. All but one of her cast mates have been introduced already (the only other character that has not appeared thus far was Arthur Darvill’s Rip Hunter) so her character is still a mystery and a blank slate.  However, Renee will…

Among the many DC television shows present at Comic-Con last night was CBS’ Supergirl series. There were some new details on that show revealed at the panel, particularly concerning which villains we’ll be seeing this season (hopefully the first of many). First up, Twilight‘s Peter Facinelli has been cast as Maxwell Lord, who is a hero-turned-villain in the comics. Supergirl‘s version is described as “a green tech billionaire who enjoys a friendly rivalry with Cat Grant and a fascination with National City’s newest arrival — Supergirl.” Lord previously appeared in Smallville, making Supergirl his second live action adaptation. In fact, he was set to be the villain in the unproduced Justice League:…

DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, the third series in The CW’s ongoing take on the DC Universe, held its Comic-Con panel last night. There were plenty of teases regarding the show, but the biggest news is that yet another major DC character will appear. It has been confirmed that Hawkman will debut in the series. It probably shouldn’t be that surprising, given the fact that Hawkman’s frequent love interest, Hawkgirl, is a member of the main cast. However, no casting for Hawkman was announced. Additionally, as expected, the first few episodes of both The Flash and Arrow next season will set up the events of Legends of Tomorrow. For example, Sara Lance will undergo…

The Flash held its Comic-Con 2015 panel last night, and plenty of new details regarding its second season were revealed. The show’s crew confirmed that original Flash Jay Garrick will indeed appear next season, after an Easter egg in the season one finale. Garrick, played by Masters of Sex‘s Teddy Sears, is described as “a mysterious figure who arrives in Central City to warn Barry Allen and his team at S.T.A.R. Labs of an impending danger that he alone cannot hope to stop.” He will be one of several characters this season who will originate from Earth 2. Also cast for The Flash season two is Patty Spivot, who will…
