So far, the DC Universe streaming service has managed to impress with live action series such as Titans, Doom Patrol and Swamp Thing, with Stargirl also on its way. But when it comes to original programming on the animation side of things, there's been only Young Justice: Outsiders to satisfy subscribers.
Of all the crazy announcements that came out of the Marvel Studios panel conducted at San Diego Comic-Con, I think it was the reveal of Blade being welcomed into the MCU that excited me most. After all, the character hasn't appeared on the silver screen for a very long time, and he's long overdue for a comeback.
As you are no doubt aware, Emily Bett Rickards is no longer a part of Arrow's principal cast. I know it's heartbreaking for a percentage of the fanbase, yes, but we can at least take solace in knowing her character, Felicity Smoak, was given a pretty good sendoff during season 7's finale.
When it comes to continuing the legacy of Halloween, the first person one would normally seek out for any sort of sequel would be that of Jamie Lee Curtis. After all, her character, Laurie Strode, is about as synonymous with the series as Michael Myers himself - and she'll fortunately be coming back for Halloween Kills.
By now, you don't need me to tell you for the umpteenth time how Batman Beyond's popularity has endured long past its three-season run on television. In addition to fans the world over continuing to watch the beloved animated series on home video, DC has continued the legacy in the comic book medium. Heck, they're even introducing a Batwoman Beyond this fall!
Whenever Andy Serkis' name is mentioned, odds are his roles in either the Lord of the Rings or Planet of the Apes series will spring to mind. After all, there's a reason people look at him as being the King of Mocap. Or, if you're a Marvel fan, then you may associate him with Avengers: Age of Ultron and Black Panther, two films in which he played Ulysses Klaue.
While the Halloween film franchise has enjoyed its share of triumphs, it's also experienced its share of missteps just as any long-running series will. I'm serious, for every H20, we get a Curse of Michael Myers or Resurrection. Or, we get led so far off the tried and true path that 2009's Halloween II becomes a reality.
Now that filming has commenced on Supergirl's fifth season, news pertaining to the show is really heating up. Already, we've been treated to the first trailer promoting the series' return and even been granted an official look at the Girl of Steel's new costume.
If you're at all familiar with Marv Wolfman and George Perez's comic book storyline from the 1980's, then you know how its ultimate goal was to streamline DC Comics continuity down to one coherent universe. Given that, we fully expect for The CW's "Crisis on Infinite Earths" adaptation to do likewise with the Arrowverse. In other words, we may not be using terms like "Earth-2" or "Earth-38" in 2020.
