Rumor: BATMAN VS. SUPERMAN Production Delayed Following Ben Affleck Injury
It’s time for another Batman vs. Superman rumor. This time, however, an unfortunate turn is taken. Batman-News has heard from a source that Ben Affleck has suffered a leg injury, pushing back production for the Man of Steel follow-up six weeks. The crew, who was informed earlier this week, is now on a month-long hiatus. It’s unclear just how serious this injury is, but a member of the SuperHeroHype forums said last night that Affleck broke his leg in a skiing accident. There’s no word on whether or not the production delay will affect the movie’s release date, but if this is true, we could be looking at a March…

ARROW: Marc Guggenheim Talks Working With DC, Malcolm Merlyn’s Return, Barry Allen And More
In an interview with GreenArrowTV, Arrow executive producer Marc Guggenheim talks more about what to expect for the rest of the season. While mostly going through things that we have known, he also drops a few tidbits of new info. First, he confirms that there are no plans to show the resurrection of Malcolm Merlyn, who seemingly died at the end of the first season and returned right before the mid-season finale. “There’s no plans at the moment. I don’t want to spoil too much, but there really are no plans at the moment. I sort of feel like we’ve moved past that point, and it would be regressing. There’s…

GOTHAM: Donal Logue Actually Offered ‘Harvey Bullock’ Role
This week, it was reported that Sons of Anarchy and Blade actor Donal Logue was offered the role of Jim Gordon in Fox’s Gotham television series. However, it was immediately denied by Logue himself, who said that the show’s version of Gordon will be in his late 20’s. Logue is 47. Now, Latino Review‘s El Mayimbe has updated his original story, saying that Gordon was not the role offered to Logue. Instead, the actor has been offered the part of Detective Harvey Bullock. In the pilot, Bullock is in his 40s (Logue’s age range), and is described as Gordon’s mentor. Mayimbe then apologized to Logue on Twitter for the confusion,…

A couple of news tidbits for Batman vs. Superman here. First off, Michael Rosenbaum has again spoken about his interest in reprising the Lex Luthor role, after his well-received portrayal of the villain in Smallville. He said before that he believes Joaquin Phoenix will play Luthor in the Man of Steel follow-up, and in an interview with Media Mikes, he still thinks the Her actor or someone else will be chosen over him. That doesn’t mean he’d turn it down if offered the role, however. “The fans have been unbelievable. They’ve tweeted me, I’ve tweeted back…I’ve been to conventions and they always ask me, “Would you do it?” And I’m…

Promo For ARROW S2E11 “Blind Spot”; First Look At Deathstroke’s New Costume
Arrow returned with a (literal) bang last night with the tenth episode of the season, “Blast Radius”. Now, The CW has released an extended promo for next week’s episode, “Blind Spot”. This episode is expected to be very Brother Blood-centered, and will also feature major developments for Laurel Lance. Meanwhile, Roy Harper struggles to control his super strength. The promo also reveals more footage of Slade Wilson in Starling City, and more excitingly, debuts his new Deathstroke costume. The suit is very similar to the one seen in Batman: Arkham Origins and the Teen Titans animated series, and in my opinion, it couldn’t look better. Watch the promo below, and…

The CW Updates On THE FLASH Series; ARROW Universe Is Separate From GOTHAM’s
The CW is holding its panel at TCA today, and as expected, we have minor updates on a couple of its DC television shows. Network president Mark Pedowitz said he was confident that the planned Flash pilot – which spins off from Arrow – will be ordered for a full series. He stated that the network decided to go with a separate pilot rather than a backdoor pilot because it could have a “big launch”, similar to Arrow. Additionally, Pedowitz confirms that Fox’s Gotham series will have no impact on Arrow or The Flash, as it is set in a separate universe from The CW’s projects. With this and the recent…

Complete 1960s BATMAN Television Series Box Set Finally Arriving On Home Video In 2014
Fans of the classic Batman television series which aired from 1966 to 1968 will be very pleased with this news. Following a tweet from talk show host Conan O’Brien revealing the news, USA Today has confirmed that Warner Bros. Entertainment will be releasing a complete series box set on home video this year.
