Tom Welling and Michael Rosenbaum Like The Idea of a SMALLVILLE: THE ANIMATED SEIRES

Smallville was such an amazing series and it helped pave that way for the DC series’ that we are currently enjoying on The CW. It was kinda sad when Smallville came to an end seven years ago and since then fans have wondered if we ever might see some kind of revival.

Well, last weekend at Awesome-Con, there was a Smallville panel with stars Tom Welling and Michael Rosenbaum. During the Q&A a fan got up and asked if Smallville could ever be brought back in live-action or animated form that could stream on the DC streaming service. Tom Welling was totally open to the idea of an animated series, saying:

Stephen Amell Says BLACK LIGHTNING Will Probably Join The Arrow-Verse

The CW’s top brass has been adamant about the fact that Black Lightning may not crossover with the rest of the Arrow-verse, although Stephen Amell doesn’t buy it. The Arrow star commented on the show’s success at AwesomeCon (via ComicBook) and told fans in attendance he believed a crossover is coming sooner or later:

“Everyone pretends like we’re not going to eventually cross over with Black Lightning but we’re probably gonna cross over with Black Lightning, because that’s just the way that the world works. . . . Yeah, I would love to. I think that anything you can do to expand the universe and to build out what we’ve built on our show would be great. So, I’m glad that show’s doing well, I hope that it has a very successful run, and I would love to be a small part of it in some way shape, or form.”

Yeah, I tend to agree with Amell especially given the show’s success. Even if the Black Lightning crew is sticking their heads in the ground and refusing a collaboration, The CW is going to mix it into the bunch. I don’t necessarily think that’s a bad thing, personally, as I think it would be weirder not to include Black Lightning in the next crossover event. I’m sure some people feel differently, so share your thoughts in the comments below.

Director Matt Reeves Offers a Brief But Optimistic Update on THE BATMAN

Matt Reeves has been deep into the development of The Batman for Warner Bros. and after a fan recently asked how it was coming along, the director offered a brief but enthusiastic response.

I’m sure people ask you all the time about The Batman, who will be in it, what it’s about, etc. But I bet no one asks HOW it is going on The Batman. So, how is it going on The Batman?

Matt Reeves

? @mattreevesLA

Really, really well, thanks! I could not be more excited! ?

The last we heard from Reeves, he said, “I am outlining, I have the story worked out and I am outlining.” It was then revealed later that the studio was looking to start shooting the film in 2019, which means we won’t see the next Batman movie in theaters until 2020 or 2021.

As we’ve previously reported, he’s looking to do a dark noir-style film that will focus on the detective side of the Dark Knight, which I’m excited about seeing! If all goes well, Reeves has an idea for a story arc that would span over the course of a trilogy of films.

THE BATMAN Movie Will Begin Production in 2019

It looks like The Batman may not be suiting up in 2018, that’s according to director Matt Reeves after he debunked rumors suggesting he might be walking away from Warner Bros.’ upcoming Batman movie.

According to Heroic Hollywood, the movie won’t begin production until 2019 and that’s because Warner Bros. already has three other DC Films set to shoot this year. Shazam is in production now. Wonder Woman 2 will begin next followed by the Joker origin story movie.

The Main Villain of WONDER WOMAN 2 is Said to Be Cheetah

There’s not a lot known about Patty Jenkins and Gal Gadot‘s Wonder Woman 2. We’ve previously heard that the movie will be set in the 1980s during the Cold War. Now we have some additional details thanks to That Hashtag Show, who I know has some very solid sources who feed them this information. But, until there is an official confirmation, we will treat the following information as a rumor.

The report says that Chris Pine, Ewen Bremner and Said Taghmaoiu are all set to reprise their roles alongside Gal Gadot, and they’ve revealed that the main villain in the film will be Cheetah! Here’s some information that they offer in which they say the studio wanted Emma Stone in the role.

Director Patty Jenkins has confirmed that Kristen Wiig (BridesmaidsSaturday Night Live) will play the villain Cheetah in the upcoming sequel Wonder Woman 2! Cheetah is the most well known of Wonder Woman’s rogue’s gallery.

Director Patty Jenkins is returning behind the camera for Wonder Woman 2, and is currently co-writing the script with Dave Callaham (The ExpendablesGodzilla) and DC Films co-chairman Geoff Johns.

According to a New Report Zack Snyder Was Actually Fired From JUSTICE LEAGUE

When it was announced that Zack Snyder would be stepping down as the director of Justice League due to a family tragedy, fans were heartbroken. As you know, his daughter committed suicide and it was completely understandable for him to walk away to deal with things.

As sad as it was, as time went on there was something else about all this that didn’t seem right. Then I started to get information from people I know at Warner Bros. about what was really going on. I have tiptoed around this stuff in many of the articles I have written regarding Snyder and Justice League, but I was asked not to come right out and say anything. Well, now someone has said something.

It seems as if Snyder may have actually been fired from the film three months before the official announcement was made. That’s around the same time that Joss Whedon was brought on board to start working on the script. The news comes from veteran entertainment reporter Josh L. Dickey, who posted the following on Twitter:

The Doom Patrol Will Appear on the Titans TV Show

The Doom Patrol will appear on the Titans TV Show

DC Entertainment CCO Geoff Johns has made a huge reveal by showing off the title page for an upcoming episode of Titans“The #Titans are getting some company…” he wrote

ahead of the photo that reveals the episode’s title of “Doom Patrol.”

Created by writers Arnold Drake & Bob Haney and artist Bruno Premiani, The Doom Patrol are a superpowered group of misfits in the DCU whose adventures border on the incredibly bizarre and outrageous, even for comics. Lead by Niles Caulder, the original team consisted of the likes of the super strong (albeit dimwitted) Cliff Steele, the self explanatory Elasti-Girl, and the astral projected Negative Man.

Joel Kinnaman Talks About SUICIDE SQUAD 2 and Says it Will be “More Grounded”

Suicide Squad was a bad film. I went in with small hopes for Suicide Squad. I had heard that it wasn’t great but was fun. I was very disappointed. The first third of the movie was maybe fun and then it just got worse and worse at every turn. Yahoo! Recently talked with Joel Kinnaman, who played Colonel Rick Flag, and asked where the first film went wrong and how the sequel would be improved. His response to the first question was very quick and very blunt: “The third act.” I don’t know that I agree with him. While the third act was pretty bad, I feel like everything started to fall apart during the second act. His response to the second question is as follows:

“It was a great set-up, great characters. I think when we do the second one I wouldn’t be surprised if we saw a more grounded version of the film. The characters are so extreme it could be more effective if we saw less sorcery. I think the characters become more extreme if you see them in conjunction with real people.”
