CBS held its summer Television Critics Association panel today, and the biggest attraction is its upcoming DC Comics adaptation, Supergirl. Plenty of new details regarding the series were unveiled during the presentation. Which fan-favorite DC characters will appear? What exactly is Superman’s role on the show? What are the chances of the series crossing over with The CW’s DC shows? All that and more are discussed here. Many thanks to The Hollywood Reporter and TV Line for compiling this information. Like Arrow and The Flash before it, Supergirl will feature many DC Universe characters. Three new names were revealed today: Red Tornado, a superhero and Justice League member in the comics;…

The CW’s next superhero show, DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, will focus heavily on time travel, especially with the inclusion of time traveler Rip Hunter and the thousands of years-old Vandal Savage. This has led to speculation that another fan-favorite DC character, Booster Gold, could appear on the series. The producers of The Flash expressed interest in including the character in this universe, particularly since that SyFy series from a few years back never moved forward. However, don’t expect Booster to appear in Legends of Tomorrow – at least in its first season. Speaking with The Hollywood Reporter, showrunner Phil Klemmer confirmed that Booster Gold will not show up anytime soon, possibly…

With production on Warner Bros.’ Wonder Woman film beginning soon, we have a new addition to the crew that will bring Diana Prince’s world to life on the big screen. According to Variety (via DC Comics Movie), Academy Award winner Bill Westenhofer will serve as the VFX supervisor for the DC Comics adaptation. Westenhofer won two Oscars for his work on The Golden Compass and Life of Pi, while receiving a nomination for The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch & The Wardrobe. He is also working on next year’s Warcraft movie. So, this is a very impressive addition to the Wonder Woman team, and it will be very…

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…

It was announced at Comic-Con last month that fan-favorite DC hero Wally West will appear in season two of The Flash, marking the character’s formal live action debut. In the comics, West becomes Kid Flash, before replacing Barry Allen as The Flash himself. In fact, West’s Flash is, in the eyes of many fans, even better than Allen’s. 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…

Along with Flash and Arrow, iZombie returns to the CW on Oct 6th and joining the cast is television journeymen, Robert Knepper. Knepper is likely best known for his role on Prison Break as Theodor Bagwell aka “T-Bag” but his acting career started in 1986 with a role on The Paper Chase.  Knepper would go on to appear on dozens of television shows in the 80s and 90s including: The Twilight Zone, Tour of Duty, Star Trek: The Next Generation, Law & Order and Murder, She Wrote.  More recently, he had a recurring role on Heroes and Stargate: Universe and appeared in the film RIP’d with Ryan Reynolds.  CW fans…

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…

Yesterday, it was announced that actor Falk Hentschel is set to play Carter Hall/Hawkman in DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, following the two-episode crossover event for The Flash and Arrow this season. Now, the midseason series has cast its main villain. The CW has announced that Danish actor Casper Crump will play Vandal Savage in Legends of Tomorrow. Crump, who will be seen in Warner Bros.’ Tarzan film next year, will make his debut as the iconic DC foe in the Flash/Arrow crossover arc, before recurring on Legends. In the CW-DC Universe, Savage has “spent the past 6,000 years moving like a virulent disease through history, whispering in the ears of despots…

The September 2015 issue of Men’s Fitness features a cover story on Henry Cavill, who plays Superman in the DC Extended Universe and is currently promoting The Man From U.N.C.L.E.. In the magazine, he talks in detail about his career – past, present and future. The folks at Henry Cavill Online have shared this interview for those unable to pick up the issue. The most significant tidbit from this interview apparently reveals when exactly 2017’s Justice League begins filming. We heard recently that the two-part superhero epic will commence production in the spring, with the two parts presumably shooting back-to-back. However, according to Men’s Fitness, Justice League will begin production even…
