When the fall finale of Gotham aired not long ago, many were left on the edge of their seats not just by the episode's content, but also by a spine-chilling trailer promising the return of Jerome Valeska, the proto-Joker, when the show resumes early next year. This surprise revelation doubly makes the hiatus hard to bear, as many agree that this particular character has been one of the best aspects of the entire series despite his limited involvement. And, as a fan of the Clown Prince of Crime for over three decades, I must echo that sentiment in saying this has to be one of the best live action interpretations of all time.
It looks as though Sony Pictures have elected to start this week off with a bang, teasing fans with footage from the latest installments in their most popular action-horror franchises. If two pulse pounding TV spots for Resident Evil: The Final Chapter weren't enough for you, we are also able to present this new clip from the highly anticipated Underworld: Blood Wars.
It's well known that Rosario Dawson is a bit of a geek and has found herself fortunate enough to land a variety of roles in adaptations of numerous comic books.

While Marvel and DC battle to see who wins at the box office, it’s virtually inarguable that it's the latter who dominates the small screen. Now having taken over four nights of the week when it comes to prime time programming, serialized superhero storytelling has swiftly become a cornerstone in the lives of many a geek these days.
Still riding high after last week's DC TV crossover, DC's Legends of Tomorrow looks to carry that momentum into what will hopefully be a strong midseason finale in "The Chicago Way."
In short, Suicide Squad Extended Cut is fun, packed with personality and, thankfully, features more of Harley Quinn. Just be aware that what you'll see won't greatly differ from what was presented in theatres.
If photos and an extended trailer weren't enough to whet your appetite for the midseason finale of The Flash, The CW has released a full clip ahead of tonight's episode that sees the return of one of the most prolific men to portray supervillains over the past quarter century.
Although DC has been dominating the small screen in recent years, we'll certainly be able to get our Marvel fix in 2017. Not only do we have Inhumans to look forward to over at ABC, but Legion will arrive on FX as well.
While we patiently await the arrival of Ben Affleck's solo venture into onscreen vigilantism with The Batman, it doesn't hurt to keep the discussion going on superhero films that arrived in theaters this year.
With Lucifer out of the cage and doing some vessel hopping, things have certainly gotten interesting this season on Supernatural. And after having one last hurrah in the body of rock star Vince Vincente this past week in "Rock Never Dies," it seems he will truly go onward and upward in the midseason finale, "Lotus."
