After months of anticipation, it's almost hard to believe that the four-show, four-night DC TV crossover is less than two weeks away. Set to include the casts of Supergirl, The Flash, Arrow, and DC's Legends of Tomorrow, this mega event may very well be talked about for years. As the clock counts down, several new details have come to light, courtesy of some official synopses released by the network and can be read below.
With The CW having just released their midseason lineup, it is apparent now more than ever that geek culture is their target audience, with nearly every show in their prime time block being based on a comic book or possessing some kind of fantastical element. Most of your favorite superhero shows will remain unaffected, but fans of DC's Legends of Tomorrow will want to pay attention.
After the geek community had the wind knocked out of them by yesterday's trailer reveal for Justice League Dark, many were left wondering when they could get their hands on a copy. Thankfully, our friends at Warner Bros. aren't keeping us waiting and have since shared the knowledge that their next DC animated film will arrive on January 24, 2017 via Digital HD, with Blu-Ray and DVD releases swiftly following on February 7.
Despite being left reeling from their recent encounter with Prometheus, it's time for Team Arrow to get back to what they do best: Keeping Star City safe in brutal, yet flamboyant, fashion to our amusement.
Hot on the heels of a generous gallery of new images comes an extended look at next week's episode of The Flash, which is appropriately titled "Killer Frost." With Caitlin Snow's gradual transformation into a supervillain building to a crescendo, it is most fitting this installment be directed by Kevin Smith and co-written by showrunner Andrew Kreisberg. If any episode were to have "quintessential" written all over it, it would probably be this one.
After releasing a rather robust line of DC animated films in 2016, Warner Bros. Animation looks to continue that trend in 2017, having just released a breathtaking new trailer for Justice League Dark. Showcasing characters that are no stranger to the magical arts and deal with the darker corners of the DC Universe (well, obviously), this movie charts bold new territory for superhero filmmaking, which we will discuss momentarily.
While we impatiently await the arrival of the impending Harley Quinn spinoff film co-starring the Birds of Prey, let us not forget that the release of Suicide Squad Extended Edition is upon us. And, in advance of that, comes the expected breadcrumbs that make a valiant effort to satisfy our hunger.
With another riveting episode of Gotham set to air tonight, Fox has released a new promo video highlighting a good man's descent into madness to whet our appetites.
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.
With DC heroes dominating the live action realm on prime time television, the animated side of things has been a bit lax in recent years. That's actually quite surprising, considering how WB Animation has revolutionized superhero storytelling over the past quarter of a century. Thankfully, that will change soon when Justice League Action finally premieres on Cartoon Network on Sunday, November 27.
