Kate Kane’s Step-Mother Cast In BATWOMAN
Kate Kane’s step-mother has been cast! Elizabeth Anweis will take on the roll as The CW’s Batwoman pilot’s production is coming near.

Catherine made her fortune as a savvy, bullheaded defense contractor, and all those billions position Catherine as one of Gotham’s most powerful residents. For Catherine, it’s a matter of the bottom line: Batwoman is bad for business. Elizabeth Anweis’ TV credits includes the shows 9-1-1, Twin Peaks: The Return, The Affair, Southland, and NCIS: Los Angeles.

FEATURE: Five Shows We Want To See On DC Universe
With Doom Patrol now airing on DC’s streaming service, I thought to myself what other properties would be a great fit for the DC Universe streaming service? I really do believe that superhero-properties fits better as TV-shows due to the serialized nature of the comic books. These are five shows we want on DCU! Justice League Dark This feels like a no-brainer to me, the short-lived Constantine series on NBC was really good in my opinion but sadly NBC cancelled it after just one season. The CW however retroactively weaved in Matt Ryan’s version of Constantine into the Arrowverse. With shorter seasons and a bigger budget, I really think that…

James Gunn Shifting to DC, Will Write (and Possibly Direct) SUICIDE SQUAD 2
Taking all controversy aside for a second, this is something that I find highly ironic, even though there is nothing weird about a director and writer going from one ship to the next (normally). According to reports, James Gunn, the writer and director of Marvel’s two Guardians of the Galaxy movies, is now set to write DC’s Suicide Squad 2, with an eye to direct. Which is quite ironic considering Warner Bros. wanted the original Suicide Squad to be its answer to Guardians of the Galaxy. On what’s happened to Gavin O’Connor, the previous director? Well, it looks like it was creative differences that made him fall back, according to…

First Look: Ruby Rose Suits Up as The CW’s Batwoman
This year’s Arrowverse crossover, titled “Elseworlds,” will introduce Batwoman to The CW’s DC lineup. Played by Ruby Rose, the character will first appear in the three-episode event, before headlining her own show. And now, with filming on “Elseworlds” beginning, we have a first look. The CW has released a new promo image, giving us a first look at Rose suited up as Batwoman.

Jennifer Beals Joins SWAMP THING
Swamp Thing has found another one of its leads. Straight from DC themselves, we have news that Jennifer Beals (The Book of Eli) has been cast as Sheriff Lucilia Cable, an original character. We don’t have too much to go on because the character doesn’t have a comic book origin, but DC was kind enough to give us some character details. Tough as nails and pragmatic, Sheriff Lucilia Cable’s fierce devotion to her son, Matt, is rivaled only by her sworn duty to serve and protect the town of Marais. As the community she has dedicated her life to defending is beset by strange forces, Lucilia must double down in her efforts…

Rumor: Has Warner Bros. Found a New Actor for THE BATMAN?
So Ben Affleck is out as Batman, or at least we think he is. I know, we’ve gone through this a thousand times at this point, but hear us out. Our friends at That Hashtag Show dropped some new details that involve Ben Affleck, Warner Bros., and a young actor. This’ll be fun. Early last week Affleck met with WB execs. Now, this can mean multiple things. He could’ve met with them regarding almost anything, but we’re hoping it was for The Batman. According to That Hashtag Show, Affleck not only met with Warner Bros. executives, but possibly Jack O’Connell (Godless) too. So could this meeting have been about a potential replacement…
