Looks like DC is doing with television what Marvel is doing in the movies, making a DC Universe that is tied together with the Arrow and Flash. Question is will the new Gotham television series be tied in with the Arrow and Flash as well. Any way here is the latest trailer from the CW with the upcoming Flash series that is spinning out of the Arrow series. It looks like another winner to me. Thanks to “The CW Television Network” channel on YouTube for the following extended trailer:
Axe has teamed up with the release of X-Men:Days of Future Past for a marketing promo. It’s not quite as cool as some of the marketing promos in Japan, but they are trying. Inside the X-Men themed package you get an exclusive poster from the movie. The set will put you back about $10.00.
