In an episode of The Flash last season, you may remember that the name “Al Rothstein” was one of those who seemingly died during the particle accelerator explosion. Rothstein is the alter ego of Atom-Smasher, depicted as a hero in the comics. Now, the Atom-Smasher will be making his way onto The Flash next season, but he won’t exactly be an ally to Barry Allen (at least initially). ComicBook.com has confirmed that former WWE superstar Adam “Edge” Copeland will play Atom-Smasher in the season two premiere of The Flash.

ARROW Producers Open to Matt Ryan's Constantine Appearing
As it stands right now, the tale of Constantine was a short and sad one. The series was not able to find its footing fast enough for NBC to renew the series and the producers were unable to find a new home. However, this does not mean that the tale of John Constantine is over. While speaking to IGN during Comic-Con, executive producer Wendy Mericle expressed interest in bringing Ryan’s Constantine into the fold. “It’s something we’ve been talking to DC about and it’s just a question of some political things, but also the actor’s schedule. We’re trying to work it out, but we don’t know 100 percent if it’s…

Batgirl: A Matter of Family is the first downloadable story add-on for Batman: Arkham Knight. Set before the events of Batman: Arkham Asylum, Batgirl: A Matter of Family is the first appearance of Barbara Gordon’s Batgirl in the Arkham universe (the Arkhamverse.) The story start’s out with The Joker and Harley Quinn kidnapping Commissioner Gordon as a twisted Valentine’s Day present for Batman.

The plot is simple and boring, while the amusement mile makes for a decent setting, it often feels empty and futile. Gameplay wise, Batgirl feels like they just copied and pasted Batman’s controls on to Batgirl’s character model. Batgirl doesn’t feel like a new…
