DC’s Zatanna Might Get Her Own Movie Too
Another day, another DC movie that Warner Bros. apparently has in development. Deadline has published an article detailing the recent increase in female-led superhero movies and TV shows, including those by DC.

Recap: ARROW S7 E7 – The Slabside Redemption
This is it. This is the episode we’ve been waiting for. The Slabside Redemption has one single focus. Oliver’s last day in prison. Once Diaz gets word of Oliver getting released and Diaz taking his place, he launches a one-man assault on Slabside. He starts a riot. Turning the prisoners against the guards with a very Braveheart-like speech. This is Oliver’s last stand. He can’t let these guards and even prisoners die. He needs to take down the entire prison. This is reminiscent of Batman: Arkham Asylum. Diaz locked Ollie in and there’s no one he can contact. He can’t trust Stanley after learning that he killed that guard from the…

Three ARROW Villains Are Returning for “Elseworlds” Crossover
The CW’s “Elseworlds” crossover looks to be a doozy, with the return and introduction of multiple Arrowverse characters. It will also revolve around reality being rewritten by Dr. John Deegan – which explains why Barry Allen and Oliver Queen have swapped places – so characters will be looking very different. Now, we have confirmation that not one, not two, but three villains from Arrow will be featured. [Warning: the following contains SPOILERS from recent episodes of Arrow.] The CW has released a bunch of new images from “Elseworlds,” and one of them features three familiar characters: Malcolm Merlyn (John Barrowman), Joe Wilson (Liam Hall), and Ricardo Diaz (Kirk Acevedo).

JUSTICE LEAGUE’s J.K. Simmons Confirms No Plans to Play Commissioner Gordon Again Anytime Soon
Back when J.K. Simmons was cast as Commissioner James Gordon for Justice League, the Oscar winner confirmed plans to play the character in multiple films, including The Batman. But a lot has changed since then.

Recap: ARROW S7 E6 – Due Process
As we get further along in the first quarter of the season, our main story starts to fall into place. This episode begins with Laurel visiting Oliver. She tells him everything that’s been going with his case. Ollie immediately dismisses Laurel, saying that she doesn’t care about anyone but herself, how Felicity would never work with Black Siren. Oliver’s been out of the loop for a few months, but his attitude is was uncalled for. Still, it’s a testament to how things have changed since he was locked up. After the disbandment of Level Two, Level One has upped its security. Stanley gets sent to The Hole for the murder of…

Recap: ARROW S7 E5 – The Demon
After the revelations from the last episode, we dive deeper into the workings of Level Two. Oliver sees just how twisted Dr. Parker’s practice is, plus we also meet an old friend. We learn that The Demon is none other than Talia Al Ghul, daughter of the demon. Pretty easy call but cool none the less. Especially considering she was left for dead at the end of season 5. The two have to set aside their differences and work together and escape. This is a simple episode but it’s tons of fun. We have three stories going. Ollie and Talia breaking out of Level Two, Curtis regaining his fighting spirit,…
