After playing iconic Batman villain Bane in 2012’s The Dark Knight Rises, Tom Hardy was set to return to the DC Universe in next year’s Suicide Squad, this time playing Rick Flagg. However, the actor dropped out a couple months before production began.Joel Kinnaman was later cast as his replacement.

Turns out that it was the former. In an interview with Collider, Hardy confirmed that the longer-than-expected production schedule for The Revenant kept him from playing Rick Flagg. However, he praises the script, as well as…

Warner Bros. just released the first cast image from Suicide Squad, featuring everyone in the Task Force X. Of course, this included Deadshot, played by Will Smith. Deadshot was noticeably not wearing his iconic mask or any form of headgear, leading some to wonder if he would remain without it in the movie. Turns out he will wear a mask. Smith has posted this promo image on Facebook, giving us our first look at Deadshot, complete with helmet/mask and eyepiece. Needless to say, this Deadshot looks to be ripped right out of the comics. Check out the image below, and stay tuned for more as we have it. Suicide Squad is…

The Flash (1×20) – “The Trap” Written by: Alison Schapker & Brooke Eikmeier Directed by: Steve Shill We pick up where we left off, with Barry Caitlin and Cisco in Wells’ “Time Vault” looking at the front page of the April 25, 2024 edition of the Central City Citizen.  The trio gleans several pieces of the information from the paper; Barry disappears while battling the Reverse Flash in “an explosion of light,” at some point in the future he changes his costume in several ways and the article is written by “Iris West-Allen.”  While they try to digest the information they’ve just learned and the implications, Gideon greets them.  After…

Victor Garber has had a very long and distinguished acting career.  He took some time with Indepth Interviews‘ Pat Cerasaro to reflect and look forward to the upcoming Flash/Arrow Spinoff.  The crux of the interview was Garber’s involvement with the NY Pops 32nd Birthday Gala.  Garber has a considerable amount of stage work under his belt: he was nominated for four Tony Awards for productions of Little Me, Deathtrap and Damn Yankees.  He’s also worked often on television on the long running series, Alias, Eli Stone (where he worked with Flash and Arrow producers Marc Guggenheim and Greg Berlanti) and Law and Order.  He appeared in one of the most…

With Upfronts scheduled for later this month, television networks are expected to finalize their 2015-2016 schedules. One series that has been pegged as a likely series order is CBS’ Supergirl, a new adaptation of one of DC Comics’ most iconic superheroines. In The Hollywood Reporter‘s “Top 10 Pilots Likely to Score Series Pickups” list, Supergirl is again mentioned, along with The CW’s untitled Arrow/Flash spin-off. However, the article suggests that we could be seeing Kara Zor-El on the small screen even sooner than this fall. According to THR’s sources, CBS is apparently considering a summer run for Supergirl. This will make it stand out from other comic book shows, as…

Production on Suicide Squad is well underway in Toronto. Despite this, Warner Bros.’ DC Comics adaptation is still adding to its impressive ensemble cast. According to Variety, The Twilight Saga actor Alex Meraz has signed on to appear in the supervillain film. His role in the movie is, unsurprisingly, not known. It is also unspecified how big of a role he has. Fans are already speculating that it could be Dick Grayson/Nightwing or Jason Todd/Red Hood, among others. But don’t be surprised if it is neither of those characters. Regardless, Meraz confirmed the casting on his Twitter, affirming that he will be filming in Toronto “…for the summer!” He also…

The more time that passes the more I’ve come to think of TV Pilot season like the NFL Draft with sites like Variety like the talking heads on ESPN.  To run with that metaphor, the last few years DC Entertainment have become the perennial powerhouse school that cranks out NFL talent in every year’s draft. Among this year’s crop of hopefuls are Supergirl and the officially unnamed Flash/Arrow Spinoff.  Both shows have the weight of Warner TV, DC and Greg Berlanti behind them, and both have picked up quite a bit of buzz. First up, is the Flash/Arrow spin-off that is in development for the CW:  The series starring Brandon…
