Don’t have this one yet, but it is definitely on my radar to pick up. I have been enjoying DC’s animated movies and Throne of Atlantis looks good as well. Thanks to DC Entertainment’s YouTube channel for the trailer:
Hawkgirl Cast for Another DC Comics TV Series
Ciara Renee joins a growing list of actors to be cast in the upcoming CW Spinoff of the Arrow and Flash TV series. Ciara has been cast as Kendra Saunders/Hawkgirl. Her fellow peers are: Brandon Routh as Ray Palmer/The Atom; Caity Lotz as Sara Lance/Black Canary; Dominic Purcell as Heat Wave; Wentworth Miller as Captain Cold; and Victor Garber as Dr. Martin Stein. It’s fun to see the CW making a family of television series from DC Comics.
DC HeroClix Get New Set
The fans of WizKids’ HeroClix get a new set coming this November. The new set is entitled DC HeroClix: Superman/Wonder Woman. No exact number of pieces that will be in the set, but these three above are slated to be in the set, but things can always change as collectors and gamers know.
DC Comics Stop!
DC Comics have released the above images of Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman in new costumes, through HitFix and we got them from ICv2, after the current “Convergence” storyline running through the titles. The fans just not that long ago went with new costumes for DC’s “New 52”. I wish sometimes these companies would leave things alone. If it works why mess with it. I could handle the minor changes with the “New 52” costumes, but these I don’t know? Maybe they will grow on me or it’s just temporary.
Casting for New Supergirl TV Series
Two Superman legacy actors have reportedly joined the cast of the planned Supergirl television series. They are Helen Slater (past Supergirl) and Dean Cain (past Superman). What their roles may be is still under wraps, but it is fun to see this happen.
CBS Finds Their Supergirl
CBS has announced that Melissa Benoist has been cast for the role of Kara Zor-El/Supergirl. The network has made a firm commitment with this series so it should debut next Fall. I have to admit I’m enjoying all the superhero love going on right now on TV.
iZombie Gets Life at CW
I’m liking the CW Network more and more. They have added another comic inspired show to their rotation, with iZombie. I enjoy the comic book these are based on being CW it is a DC/Vertigo property. The trailer looks good and it will be one for me to place on my to watch list. Check out it out through CW’s YouTube channel:
Arrow/Flash CrossOver Event
I know the pic above says Flash vs. Arrow, but I’m an Green Arrow fan, so for me he will always get top billing. Anyway, this looks like a great two part crossover. Check out the promo below from the “Television Promos” YouTube channel:
Constantine First Look
The “Constantine” YouTube channel is giving us a first look at the upcoming Constantine television series. This one looks really good and I hope it makes it through the crowd of new shows this fall. Constantine premiers October 24 on NBC. And now the first look:
