There are plenty of women better qualified. But if Kara does get her own series, I will watch the $#!+ out of it.” Of course, he could be denying involvement because he might be…

Yesterday, after I did some digging, a slew of website domains for several DC Comics film adaptations registered by Warner Bros. went viral. This is understandable, given the expectation of at least some DC movies being announced soon. However, most of these domains are old, and without any further updates by WB, they will expire within the next couple years. Firstly, both ShazamMovie.com and AquamanMovie.com were originally registered back in 2000. While movies for both characters are in the works, these domains have existed years before the films entered development. So, even though both movies are expected to be released soon, these domains aren’t proof of that. Both domains are expected…

It’s unknown if Seldon will appear in the flashback portions of the episode or the present day portions, if not both. Meanwhile, Arrow has added yet another villain to its highly anticipated third season. According to Entertainment Weekly, Supernatural‘s Amy Gumenick…

While Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice has included some of the most talked-about castings in recent comic book movie history, arguably the most unexpected choice was Jesse Eisenberg’s landing the role of Lex Luthor. While the Zombieland star is a great actor, many have not been sold on the idea of the Oscar nominee playing Superman’s greatest villain. While we have a while to wait before we get an idea of what Eisenberg’s Luthor will be like, the actor has offered some intriguing new details for his take on the character.
