The CW really isn't fooling around today when it comes to news pertaining to DC's Legends of Tomorrow. Despite having an all-star team of superheroes leading the charge each week, that doesn't mean the producers are afraid to squeeze in a few more guests culled from around the DC Universe.
We recently heard that "proto-versions" of both Killer Croc and Harley Quinn will be coming to Gotham in the near future. Although there has often been much red tape separating the motion picture and television divisions at Warner Bros. when it comes to who can use which DC Comics characters, the situation has become a bit more liberal as of late. Case in point: Superman appearing on The CW's Supergirl.
Ever since Warner Bros. made the bold move of releasing an R-rated extended cut of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice on its Blu-Ray release, many fans have speculated if the same would happen for subsequent DC films. When word recently came down the pipeline that two distinct cuts of Suicide Squad exist, that only proceeded to add fuel to the fire.
After being treated to a look at the new Poison Ivy, in addition to the news that proto-versions of both Killer Croc and Harley Quinn are on the way, the Gotham hype train shows no signs of slowing down. Fox has decided to whet our appetites with a new trailer that not only teases the Batman prequel series' third season, but also Lucifer's second.
While Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice certainly explored the fallout from the events depicted in Man of Steel, many argue that it wasn't a true sequel. Technically, those folks are right because BvS qualifies as a team-up movie.
Ever since it was confirmed that Supergirl was moving from CBS to The CW, fan theories as to how the show will be integrated into the already established DC TV universe have reached critical mass. The most common, in addition to being one of the most plausible, is that The Flash's "Flashpoint" story arc will provide some continuity cleanup, effectively bringing the Girl of Steel and her supporting cast into the fold.
Hot on the heels of some new character portraits comes the arrival of our first detailed synopsis for the third season of Gotham. In addition to a deeper look at the Court of Owls, we can expect to see villains that are "more ambitious and depraved," which makes sense considering that a busload of Hugo Strange's human experiments are now roaming the city.
With roughly a month and a half to go until Gotham kicks off its new season, Fox has released eight character portraits to raise both awareness and fan excitement. These images offer new looks at a sizable chunk of the principal cast and capture the dark, moody tone the series has become known for. It's quite interesting that many familiar faces were not included, so it is highly possible that a second round will arrive soon.
There's been a recent trend in the movie industry to drop short teasers before the first full theatrical trailer for a given film arrives, or as some of us call them, "The trailer for the trailer." Resident Evil: The Final Chapter is the latest to join the party, as we've been given a brief glimpse at the concluding chapter in the widely successful action-horror franchise.
With exactly two months to go until the return of Arrow, we are slowly getting more hints regarding what to expect when Oliver Queen and company continue their never-ending quest to clean up Star City. Not only will matters become further complicated for these vigilantes, but the events of another show will bleed over, possibly affecting the status quo in significant ways.
