Warner Bros. and DC Entertainment have been developing a Suicide Squad film for years. Back in 2011, Justin Marks was hired to pen the script for the action thriller, which would bring together some of DC’s lesser known supervillains for a government-sponsored team. However, the movie adaptation was more recently put on hold as WB placed more focus on developing Justice League. With plenty of bigger fish to fry at DC, many didn’t expect the Suicide Squad to assemble on the big screen anytime soon. But a major new development suggests otherwise. According to Variety, Warner Bros. is considering End of Watch and Sabotage director David Ayer to helm Suicide…

A couple weeks ago, it was confirmed that a live action Supergirl television series was in development, with Arrow and The Flash‘s Greg Berlanti executive producing. Warner Bros.

It has been announced that CBS has picked up Supergirl with a series commitment, which is said to be even larger than Fox’s commitment to Gotham. CBS closed this deal last night, one day after WB started to pitched the series to networks. It has also been affirmed that the show, which…

Since its first season, The CW’s Arrow has been known for casting actors from the Spartacus series in key roles.

One of the most exciting additions to the cast of The CW’s The Flash was John Wesley Shipp, who played the Scarlet Speedster in the early 1990s series. In this new series, the former Flash plays Henry Allen, the father of Grant Gustin’s Barry who is wrongly accused of murdering his wife, Nora. Henry will recur throughout the series. And now, the Arrow spin-off has added another actor from The Flash‘s original show, and it may serve as even more nostalgia for fans. According to Variety, actress Amanda Pays is set to play Dr. Tina McGee, a character she played in the 1990s Flash series. In that show, McGee was Barry Allen’s love…

Ben Affleck has not talked much about playing the Dark Knight in 2016’s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, which is unsurprising due to the expected secretive nature of DC’s films. But with his new film Gone Girl being released next month, he will surely be asked a number of questions during the press tour. And inevitably, The Sunday Times (via ComicBook.com) spoke with Affleck about portraying Batman. When asked why he decided to accept the offer to join Batman v Superman, Affleck said, “To get the exposure to a movie of this scale is an education.” While the actor has prior comic book movie experience with Daredevil, Dawn of…

While filming Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice this year, director Zack Snyder found a clever way to have some fun on the set of the highly anticipated team-up. He previously shared a couple of images on Twitter combining the DC Universe with none other than Star Wars, which will make its triumphant return next year with Episode VII. One of Snyder’s images showed Henry Cavill’s Superman draped in a black cloak – the kind that he has worn on set to cover his costume – holding a Sith lightsaber, while another one showed a Batman action figure alongside R2-D2. Snyder’s latest is perhaps the funniest yet, as it deals with a…
