While two of DC’s three animated films for 2015 – Justice League: Throne of Atlantis and Batman vs. Robin – share the universe created by Justice League: War, the third one will be a standalone movie. Justice League: Gods and Monsters will be produced by DC Animated Universe mastermind Bruce Timm, who also developed the original story and many character designs. And now, to mark Warner Bros.’ first project from its recently established digital content production unit, a companion series will debut before the anticipated movie. Via Variety, Machinima has acquired the rights to premiere Justice League: Gods and Monsters Chronicles, a three-part series that marks the website’s first collaboration with…

As we get closer to the October 8th return of Arrow, The CW has finally released the official poster for the series’ highly anticipated third season. Noticeably darker than one-sheets for the past two seasons, the Season 3 key art assembles the five members of Team Arrow: Roy Harper/Arsenal (Colton Haynes), Felicity Smoak (Emily Bett-Rickards), John Diggle (David Ramsey), new member Laurel Lance (Katie Cassidy), and of course, Oliver Queen/Arrow (Stephen Amell) himself. With the inclusion of DC characters such as Ray Palmer, Wildcat and big bad Ra’s al Ghul, this season promises to be another exciting installment of the excellent DC series. Check out the poster below, and stay…

Since its first season, The CW’s Arrow has been known for casting actors from the Spartacus series in key roles. Manu Bennett plays season two villain Slade Wilson/Deathstroke, Katrina Law plays Nyssa, the daughter of Ra’s al Ghul, and Cynthia Addai-Robinson plays former A.R.G.U.S. leader Amanda Waller. We can now add another name to the list, and this one should please fans of The Flash. According to Entertainment Weekly, Spartacus and Star Trek Into Darkness actor Nick Tarabay has been cast as none other than Digger Harkness, aka Captain Boomerang. This villain is one of The Flash’s most well-known adversaries, and he has also served as a member of the Suicide…

For the past year, DC Entertainment has been heavily expanding its presence on television. In addition to the returning Arrow, new shows The Flash, Gotham and Constantine will premiere this fall.

And now, Fox, the network behind Gotham, is looking to add yet another character into the mix According to Deadline, Fox has placed a put pilot commitment for Lucifer, a series based on the DC/Vertigo character of the same name.

One of the most exciting additions to the cast of The CW’s The Flash was John Wesley Shipp, who played the Scarlet Speedster in the early 1990s series. In this new series, the former Flash plays Henry Allen, the father of Grant Gustin’s Barry who is wrongly accused of murdering his wife, Nora. Henry will recur throughout the series. And now, the Arrow spin-off has added another actor from The Flash‘s original show, and it may serve as even more nostalgia for fans. According to Variety, actress Amanda Pays is set to play Dr. Tina McGee, a character she played in the 1990s Flash series. In that show, McGee was Barry Allen’s love…

Ben Affleck has not talked much about playing the Dark Knight in 2016’s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, which is unsurprising due to the expected secretive nature of DC’s films. But with his new film Gone Girl being released next month, he will surely be asked a number of questions during the press tour. And inevitably, The Sunday Times (via ComicBook.com) spoke with Affleck about portraying Batman. When asked why he decided to accept the offer to join Batman v Superman, Affleck said, “To get the exposure to a movie of this scale is an education.” While the actor has prior comic book movie experience with Daredevil, Dawn of…

While filming Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice this year, director Zack Snyder found a clever way to have some fun on the set of the highly anticipated team-up. He previously shared a couple of images on Twitter combining the DC Universe with none other than Star Wars, which will make its triumphant return next year with Episode VII. One of Snyder’s images showed Henry Cavill’s Superman draped in a black cloak – the kind that he has worn on set to cover his costume – holding a Sith lightsaber, while another one showed a Batman action figure alongside R2-D2. Snyder’s latest is perhaps the funniest yet, as it deals with a…

The Teen Titans are no strangers to television. In the early 2000s, the group headlined the Teen Titans animated series, which was more recently rebooted as a far more kid friendly show called Teen Titans Go! after a slew of successful DC Nation shorts. A similar group, Young Justice, was also the focus of the acclaimed animated show of the same name. Now, the DC Universe’s younger heroes are heading to live action, becoming the focus of DC’s latest television series. TNT has ordered the superhero drama pilot Titans, which was written by Akiva Goldsman and Marc Haimes, both of whom will executive produce the potential series as well. Fans…

At Fan Expo Canada 2014 (via Comic Book Resources), Arrow star Stephen Amell talked in detail about the CW series’ highly anticipated third season. After giving a rundown of the season’s plot and naming the multiple comic book television shows that will be airing this year, he adds his own suggestion to the list: a Suicide Squad spin-off. “Instead of doing 23 episodes of Arrow, I’d love to do 17. Then, in the middle of the year, we could do six episodes of the Suicide Squad. Then I could go on vacation.” Many fans have been hoping to see the Suicide Squad headline their own series after an impressive episode…
