This latest news round-up for Arrow offers some very interesting new details regarding the show’s highly anticipated third season. First up, writer and executive producer Marc Guggenheim has confirmed that episode eight of the season, which is the second part of its crossover event with The Flash, will begin production on Monday. Its title is “The Brave and the Bold.” This should be a very recognizable title to DC fans, as “The Brave and the Bold” was known as a team-up comic series. While the focus would sometimes be on Batman partnering with other heroes, the title has also starred The Flash and Green Lantern, with Green Arrow thrown into…

This fall’s LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham is looking to be one of the biggest DC video games to date. In addition to its wide array of characters, the game will offer DLCs based on Batman 66, The Dark Knight Trilogy, Man of Steel and more. The fact that it features voicework by former Caped Crusader Adam West is another reason for fans to be excited. And now, we have another addition to the list. While this one will be exclusive to PlayStation players in Europe, it’s easy for others to by psyched as well. In a PlayStation blog post, LEGO Batman 3 director Arthur Parsons revealed the latest DLC for…

New Line Cinema had been planning a film iteration of the acclaimed Vertigo series Y: The Last Man for several years. Disturbia director D.J. Caruso and screenwriter Carl Ellsworth were planning to unite for the big screen adaptation, which was set to be produced by Man of Steel scribe David S. Goyer. Eventually, however, this incarnation fell apart. But in 2012, New Line hired a new team of writers to take another crack at the graphic novel, and it hired short film director Dan Trachtenberg to helm the project a year later. Since then, we’ve heard very little beyond the news that production would have to start soon or the film…

After years of development, Warner Bros. and New Line Cinema’s Shazam movie was finally confirmed to be moving forward this year. The DC adaptation will be written by Turbo scribe Darren Lemke, with wrestler-turned-actor Dwayne Johnson set to play villain/antihero Black Adam, a casting move that he and the fans have wanted for a long time. It’s currently unclear whether this film will be its own thing or a part of the DC Cinematic Universe, but don’t be surprised if they integrate Shazam into the world of Justice League eventually. The Rock’s passion for this project has been evident for years, and even though he isn’t playing the lead role, he will still…

Filming is now underway on the crossover episodes for The CW’s two DC television shows, Arrow and The Flash. The two will meet up in the eighth episodes of each series later this year, with the Flash episode titled “Flash vs. Arrow.” Few plot details for the crossover are known, but the Arrow episode, which is currently untitled, will feature actor Nick Tarabay as key Flash villain Captain Boomerang. And now, we have a new teaser that should excite fans who are looking forward to seeing the two heroes side-by-side. Stephen Amell shared the following behind-the-scenes picture on his Twitter page, following filming with Grant Gustin. While the image isn’t…

Even though DC Entertainment has been developing a number of new television shows recently, few of them will actually exist in the same universe. The CW is building its take on the DCU with Arrow and The Flash, while NBC is exploring the supernatural world with Constantine. Then there’s Fox’s recently debuted Gotham, CBS’ Supergirl and TNT’s Titans, among others. While some of these shows are definitely not crossing over with the Cinematic Universe, many of them are probably not going to cross over with themselves. However, it looks like one of these shows might just co-exist with Stephen Amell’s Arrow and Grant Gustin’s Flash. Speaking with Adweek for an article about DC’s…

MINOR SPOILERS AHEAD. Let me start by saying that I am not a fan of the prequel genre, be they movies or TV shows. In my opinion they rarely add to the stories that they are foretelling. A lot of the time they simply serve to remove the mystique of the originals and there have been plenty of examples of this. Usually imagining what happened before is much more interesting than having it played out before you. I never seems as good as you imagined it would be. But there is an example of a prequel that makes the concept work, The Good, The Bad and the Ugly. The reason…

Last year at San Diego Comic-Con, Man of Steel actor Harry Lennix made his legendary announcement that Batman and Superman will share the big screen for the first time in the sequel, now titled Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Since then, it has been clear that the film will be influenced by the iconic graphic novel The Dark Knight Returns, which pitted the two iconic heroes in an epic brawl. Footage from the Justice League prequel shown at this year’s Comic-Con teased a big screen iteration of that very scene, with Batman wearing an armored suit that looked just like the comic version. While we wait for more official news…

In the meantime, we have a new interview with Gotham creator…

While Warner Bros. has yet to officially confirm it, Aquaman is almost definitely appearing in a minor role in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, played by Jason Momoa. His appearance in this movie is expected to be brief and will set up a larger role in the Justice League film, which is expected to be released in 2017 or 2018. Past rumors have suggested that in Batman v Superman, Aquaman will be upset with Superman for the damage the World Engine caused to the oceans in Man of Steel. And now, we have another report revealing how Aquaman may have been established even before Dawn of Justice, and it…
