Fresh off the most watched series debut on the CW since the Vampire Diaries, the producers of the Flash have made two casting announcements today.  Veteran actor, Victor Garber will be playing Dr. Martin Stein while Smash’s Andy Mientus will be playing Hartley Rathaway aka the Pied Piper. Victor Garber is a long time actor and many will remember him from his role in Titanic or the ABC series Alias.  More recently, Garber played “Mr. Crane” in Sleepy Hollow.  He will reprise the role on the Fox series later this year.  He also had a role on Eli Stone, which allowed him to work with future Flash executive producers Greg…

This has been a good week for The CW. Fan-favorite DC series Arrow made its triumphant return, while spin-off show The Flash premiered the night before. Both shows continue to expand The CW’s take on the DC Universe, and naturally, there would be talk of other potential spin-offs. CW President Mark Pedowitz confirmed to Buzzfeed that the network, along with Warner Bros. and DC Entertainment, is considering a third television series starring a DC character. “There are discussions going on, but I can’t tell you what they are.”  Of course, there are a number of options to consider. In addition to the multiple Ferris Air Easter eggs, the Arrow crew has…

The Flash (1×01) – “Pilot/City of Heroes” Written by: Greg Berlanti, Gardner Fox, Geoff Johns, Andrew Kreisberg and Harry Lampert Directed by: David Nutter The episode opens on Central City while a voice over from Barry Allen (Series star, Grant Gustin,) introducing the series.  This monologue (likely an early version of the pre-cap monologues that the CW Network is fond of) declares Barry “The Fastest Man Alive” before he asks the view to believe in the possible. The story then goes back in time fourteen years, as a boy wearing a red backpack runs away from bullies.  The boy is quickly revealed to be Barry; he had attempted to stop…

From the Arrow creative team of executive producers Greg Berlanti and Andrew Kreisberg and director David Nutter, THE FLASH is a fast-paced super hero drama that follows the high-speed adventures of the Fastest Man Alive. Written by Berlanti, Kreisberg and DC Entertainment’s Chief Creative Officer Geoff Johns, the action drama follows Central City Police scientist Barry Allen, an everyday guy with the heart of a hero and the genuine desire to help others. Standing still emotionally since the day his mother was murdered (and his father unjustly jailed for the crime), Barry was taken in as a child by the investigating Detective West and raised in a cop’s home alongside…

The Flash finally makes its premiere on The CW tonight at 8 PM EST. While we wait for its first episode to premiere, we have some cool new images to share. Series writer/executive producer and DC Entertainment chief Geoff Johns has posted the first look at actor Wentworth Miller as the villainous Captain Cold on his Instagram page. The iconic DC antagonist is making his debut appearance in the fourth episode of the season. Unlike many of Flash’s villains, Leonard Snart will not be affected by the STAR Labs accident, and he will have to learn to survive in this new world. However, he will still be a key part…

                                                        MINOR SPOILERS AHEAD. For the record I enjoyed last night’s episode of Gotham. I found it entertaining and for the most part the performances were up to par and the quality didn’t drop too much from last weeks episode. The story was entertaining and I found the dark humor peppered throughout very well executed, but regardless I do feel that ‘Balloonman’ did highlight a few of the flaws that unfortunately prevent the series from reaching it’s full potential. I’ll start with the…

A number of news outlets, including MTV, spoke with actors and producers of The Flash in anticipation of the series’ premiere this week. A number of topics, such as the introduction of metahumans and Barry Allen’s three father figures, are discussed. While most of the Scarlet Speedster’s villains will be affected by the STAR Labs accident, one key antagonist will not be. Captain Cold/Leonard Snart, however, will still play a key role in the series. “He kind of just is this guy who pulls jobs very carefully, and suddenly there’s something else in the city and he has to change his game up,” says writer and executive producer Geoff Johns. “He…

Ben Afleck’s most recent movie, Gone Girl, opens in theaters this weekend, and the acclaimed actor-director has been promoting the David Fincher-helmed film for a few weeks. Unsurprisingly, he is often asked about his much-hyped about role as the Dark Knight in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. And even less surprisingly, Affleck has refused to discuss any details regarding the DC team-up epic. However, he has now opened up a little bit in his latest interview. Speaking with Inquirer, Affleck jokes about his “stern Batman look” that he donned during his appearance at the Batman v Superman panel at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con. He then reiterates his praise…
