‘Superman & Lois’ Star Jordan Elsass Loved ‘Smallville’ But Has Never Seen The Arrowverse Shows

Jax Motes — Mon, 06 Apr 2020 15:12:38 +0000

Reportedly, The CW’s new series ‘Superman & Lois’ began production before being shut down due to the COVID-19 outbreak, so it’s unclear whether or not it will be able to debut this fall as planned, but rest assured, it is on its way. Tyler Hoechlin and Elizabeth Tulloch star in the titular roles, but this time, the Man of Steel and his intrepid reporter wife will be seen as they never have before in live-action– as parents. While Lois gave birth to a baby boy last autumn, thanks to the “Crisis on Infinite Earths” crossover, they are now the parents to two teenage sons, Jonathan and Jordan. Jonathan is described as “clean-cut, modest and kind-hearted, with an aw-shucks attitude that somehow doesn’t seem dated,” while Jordan is “wildly intelligent, but his mercurial temperament and social anxiety limit his interactions with people, and consequently, Jordan prefers to spend most of his free time alone, playing video games.” Jordan Elsass will portray Jonathan with Alex Garfin as Jordan. In the meantime, Elsass can be seen in the new Hulu miniseries ‘Little Fires Everywhere’, starring and executive produced by Reese Witherspoon and Kerry Washington. While promoting that, he took a moment to discuss […]

The Arrowverse Shows Will Be Back With New Episodes In April; No More ‘Supernatural’ Or ‘Legacies’ Until This Pandemic Passes

Jax Motes — Wed, 01 Apr 2020 14:05:54 +0000

The COVID-19 coronavirus has thrown the entire world into disarray and the entertainment industry is certainly feeling the impact. Luckily for fans, The CW’s Arrowverse shows– ‘The Flash’, ‘Legends of Tomorrow’, ‘Supergirl’, and ‘Batwoman’— had already finished shooting their current seasons by the time productions started to shut down industry-wide. There were still some issues with post-production, however, which has resulted in a shuffling of their schedules. But now comes word that these four fan-favorites will be back in April. ‘The Flash’ and ‘Legends’ will return with new episodes on Tuesday, April 21. New episodes of ‘Batwoman’ and ‘Supergirl’ will arrive on April 26. This week, The CW is re-airing the massive “Crisis on Infinite Earths” crossover to help fill the void. Fans of The CW’s longest-running show, ‘Supernatural’, are not so lucky. It was already a tough pill to swallow that the current 15th season is the last, but now the coronavirus has scrambled that. Last week’s episode, “Destiny’s Child,” the 13th out of 20, is the last episode that was completed. That means there are seven more episodes left to film, including the series finale. But there is no telling how long everything will be shut down. To […]

Stephen Amell Is Done With The Arrowverse

Janice Kay — Wed, 18 Mar 2020 00:06:17 +0000

Stephen Amell has left the Arrowverse… for good. In a time when everyone is social distancing and self-quarantining, Amell has taken to Instagram to keep in touch with his fans (something he announced that he would be doing every day due to the coronavirus pandemic). During Tuesday’s Instagram Live session, he was asked if he would ever consider reprising his role or guest star in any of the other Arrowverse shows. “No, I’m done. That was good. It was a good eight years but it was time to be done.” While not the answer fans wanted to hear, his reaction is understandable. Amell has been starring as Oliver Queen for 8 seasons and the series finale gave such a memorable sendoff that having him return would lessen its sentiments. RELATED: The Green Knight: Stephen Amell Speaks On Original Inspiration For ‘Arrow’ Amell’s comments also dash any hope that the actor will appear (in a flashback or some other form) in the ‘Arrow’ spinoff ‘Green Arrow and the Canaries’. In the new series, Oliver and Felicity’s daughter, Mia (Katherine McNamara), takes over the Green Arrow mantle but will do so in the future – the year 2040. There, she will […]

“Crisis On Infinite Earths” Will Be Released On One Blu-Ray, But There’s A Big Catch…

Jax Motes — Mon, 10 Feb 2020 14:45:17 +0000

The entire “Crisis on Infinite Earths” crossover event is available to stream for free on The CW app, but this may be the last time the whole shebang will be found in one place. Once the seasons wrap up, the “Crisis” episodes of ‘Arrow’ (which is over), ‘Supergirl’, ‘The Flash’, and ‘Legends of Tomorrow’ will be on Netflix along with the tie-in episode of ‘Black Lightning’, but ‘Batwoman’ will only be available to stream on HBO Max. And ‘Legends of Tomorrow’s new season has just kicked, so that won’t hit Netflix for several months. So if you want all five chapters of “Crisis” or you’re just old school and prefer physical copies of your favorites, there is good news… kind of. The entire “Crisis” crossover, PLUS bonus features are being issued on one disc. The extras are: Crisis Past and Present: Kevin Conroy Bat Legend Crisis on Infinite Earths: The Architects Return Crisis Past and Present – Superman vs. Superman Characters in Crisis: Pariah Crisis Management Character in Crisis: The Anti-Monitor Now, here is the BAD NEWS. This disc won’t be sold individually. It will only be included as an extra with the boxed sets of ‘Arrow: The Eighth and […]

Did You Catch This ‘Powerless’ Easter Egg In The Finale Of ‘Arrow’?

Jax Motes — Fri, 31 Jan 2020 15:05:43 +0000

It looks as though NBC’s failed superhero sitcom ‘Powerless’ is set firmly within the Arrowverse. Is this due to “Crisis on Infinite Earths?” Could be. During one scene in the final episode of ‘Arrow’, a sign can be seen bearing the logo “Van Wayne Industries.” Van Wayne was the cousin of Bruce, portrayed by Alan Tudyk on ‘Powerless’. The company on that show was called Wayne Security, a subsidiary of Wayne Enterprises, which is run by Bruce. But it’s entirely possible that Van Wayne subsequently struck out on his own, especially considering that Bruce is MIA in the Arrowverse. Executive producer Marc Guggenheim explained to ComicBook.com: “When we have to cover something up or have a billboard or something, we’ve conditioned the art department to recognize it as an Easter egg opportunity, And they’ll contact us and say, ‘listen, we’re putting up a billboard here. What Easter egg do you want to put in the billboard?’ And we got that phone call, and by that point I was done with ‘Crisis’ and Easter egged-out. Just in terms of the amount of approvals, and everything else I need to do in order to get these Easter eggs in. So I basically […]

Put A Ring On Him: Does The ‘Arrow’ Series Finale Tease Diggle’s Transformation Into A Green Lantern?

Nicholas Graff — Wed, 29 Jan 2020 21:24:22 +0000

WARNING: Spoiler for the series finale of ‘Arrow’ ahead! Stop reading if you haven’t watched it yet! * * * * Well, ‘Arrow’ is over, and fans can finally move on from the show that started the ‘Arrowverse,’ albeit with one very notable exception, the fate of John Diggle. For years fans have been enamored of Oliver Queen’s one-time bodyguard and driver who turned into his best friend and partner in vigilantism, and became even more interested in Diggle once rumors started flying that he might be a future Green Lantern due to his similarities to the Lantern John Stewart (who a lot of fans outside of comics still remember from the beloved ‘Justice League’ and ‘Justice League Unlimited’ animated series in the early 2000s.) Now, after an ‘Arrow’ finale that included what could only be described as a potential Green Lantern origin story moment for Diggle (a scene that had a meteor crash near Dig while he is packing up for his move to Metropolis, and Dig finding a box with something glowing bright green inside), fans are very curious about what the ‘Arrowverse’ and DC Television has in store for Diggle in the future.

Review: The Arrowverse Says Its Final Goodbyes To Oliver Queen In Arrow’s Emotionally Moving Finale

Darryl Jasper — Wed, 29 Jan 2020 07:33:17 +0000

Though we knew from the Crisis finale that Oliver sparking the rebirth of the multiverse significantly affected the Arrowverse. What we didn’t know what just how much of Arrow would be different because of it. “Fadeout” paints this new picture in a slightly jumbled first act where many of the characters gone for years — Tommy, Moira, and Quentin, to name a few — were revived thanks to Oliver’s final act. But all those lost do not return. Robert Queen is one such soul that remains dead, as does the Earth-One Laurel. The uncertainty of why she wasn’t returned haunts the current Laurel (formerly of Earth-Two) and she blames herself for what she sees as a mistake. In a touching scene, Quentin reminds Laurel that there’s nothing in her that needs changing. It’s a watershed moment for this Laurel who, for so long, has fought to live up to the hero ideal the original Laurel left behind. Quentin’s words solidify this version of Laurel Lance as every bit of the hero as his daughter was, and there is no better place to have this indelibly inscribed than in this soulful finale. It’s moments like these that make “Fadeout” such a […]

Facing the Audience: Arrowverse EP Answers ‘Crisis’ Mystery Many Fans Had Not Even Noticed

Nicholas Graff — Thu, 23 Jan 2020 01:40:33 +0000

Eagle-eyed fans eagerly anticipating this season’s ‘Crisis’ Crossover event may have noticed that in the original logo for ‘Crisis on Infinite Earths’ released by the CW, there was a subtle and odd difference to what the logo eventually looked like in the end. Apparently it all had to do with spoilers and odd marketing rules. In the original logo (see above), every letter had a major hero from one of the ongoing series pictured within, with Sara Lance being in the “C,” the Flash is in the “R,” The Monitor is in the first “I,” Supergirl is in the “S,” Batwoman is in the second “I,” and then, oddly, instead of Oliver Queen in the second “S,” there was the arrowhead from the ‘Arrow’ opening instead of the star himself. Eventually, it changed and Oliver Queen was in the second “S,” but the mystery (though small in importance) remained. Now we have some answers from Arrowverse Executive Producer Marc Guggenheim himself thanks to a question posted to him on Twitter: At first I was told only actors appearing in all five hours could be in the main title card. Stephen, as you now know, wasn’t in Hour 5 (a fact […]

The Arrowverse Earth-Prime Heroes Are Not Aware Of The Post-“Crisis” Multiverse

Jax Motes — Wed, 22 Jan 2020 22:29:20 +0000

The ending of the Arrowverse crossover “Crisis on Infinite Earths” was a treat for fans of DC TV shows across various outlets. For starters, the crossover wound up accomplishing what most viewers had hoped from the beginning– that all of The CW’s DC Comics shows, including ‘Black Lightning,‘ were now set on one Earth, Earth-Prime. But that doesn’t mean that all of the realities from the Multiverse were gone. Instead, it appeared that an all-new Multiverse had formed: Earth-2, setting for the upcoming series ‘Stargirl’, which will be offered on both the DC Universe streaming service and The CW; Earth-9, home of ‘Titans’, which had been among the parallel universes destroyed at the beginning of “Crisis”; Earth-12, setting of the recently announced ‘Green Lantern’ series coming to HBO Max; Earth-19, setting of DC Universe’s defunct ‘Swamp Thing’; Earth-21, setting for DC Universe’s ‘Doom Patrol’— firmly establishing that even though this show was originally meant to be a spin-off of ‘Titans’, it now takes place in its own reality; and Earth-96, the “Kingdom Come” Earth, which is also believed to be the reality of the Christopher Reeve ‘Superman’ movies and Brandon Routh’s ‘Superman Returns’.

Review: “Green Arrow And The Canaries” Is A Jumbled Reintroduction To A New ‘Arrow’

Darryl Jasper — Wed, 22 Jan 2020 15:29:55 +0000

Mia Queen’s idyllic life in a peaceful 2040 Star City is turned upside down when a pair of familiar Canaries remind her of a forgotten past. From the opening moments of “Green Arrow and the Canaries”, there was that unmistakable yet familiar feeling of disorientation. It’s a standard mindset when examining a series premiere as it tries to pull viewers into the world that’s being established. It’s less common for a show with the history of Arrow to procure such emotions from its audience but “Green Arrow” does so on several levels, the biggest of which is a much different looking (and living) Mia Queen engaged to JJ while the Star City of the future is, per news reports, the safest city in the country. Sounds like a recipe for a middling spinoff, right? Well, it doesn’t take long for business to pick up and Mia to fathom her lifetime of forgotten memories. Using technology Cisco derived from Martian Manhunter’s psychic abilities, Laurel unceremoniously (and without permission) brings Mia up to speed on that lost lifetime. Regardless of her reasoning, it’s a pretty scummy thing to do, upending a future Mia had planned, and for what? To rescue Mia’s […]

Images From The ‘Arrow’ Series Finale Show Felicity Smoak And Other Old Favorites Returning

Jax Motes — Tue, 21 Jan 2020 00:35:37 +0000

As promised, Emily Bett Rickards is returning for the final episode of ‘Arrow’ and here are the photographs to prove it. It looks as though this episode will also welcome back a number of departed cast members, but none were as integral to the show as Rickards’ Felicity Smoak, who had been the female lead from the very beginning up to her departure last year. While she initially nixed any chance of returning under any conditions, it looks as though the producers were able to coax her back to send the series off. ($$$) As you can see in the photo above, Rickards is joined by Colton Haynes (Roy Harper/Arsenal), Echo Kellum (Curtis Holt/Mr. Terrific), and Willa Holland (Thea Queen). Below, you will see that Susanna Thompson (Moira Queen), and Sea Shimooka (Emiko Queen) are also back, and though he isn’t pictured, Paul Blackthorn will also be in the episode, reprising his role as Quentin Lance. I’m guessing that “Crisis on Infinite Earths” explains how some of these characters are still alive. Grant Gustin can also be seen guest-starring as Barry Allen, along with Caity Lotz as Sara Lance.

Prime News: “Crisis On Infinite Earths” Concludes With Massive Shift For CW Superhero Shows

Nicholas Graff — Wed, 15 Jan 2020 22:25:49 +0000

With the conclusion of the epic “Crisis on Infinite Earths” this week, all of the CW DC superhero shows now find themselves in new territory, somewhat literally. In the crossover, after the destruction of the multiverse and then its resurrection, all of the current Arrowverse series (‘The Flash,’ ‘Arrow,’ ‘Supergirl,’ ‘Batwoman,’ ‘Black Lightning,’ and ‘Legends of Tomorrow’) now find themselves on one new Earth, which has been dubbed “Earth-Prime,” though most will probably come to know it as “Earth-CW” in the future. According to executive producer Marc Guggenheim, this was always the plan for ‘Crisis.’ In his words, while at a screening for ‘Crisis’ in December, he explains: “We knew from last year, quite frankly, that we were going to merge and create Earth-CW basically, but Earth-Prime sounds better. Even though in the comics, Earth-Prime is our Earth, I just personally like the sound of Earth-Prime. So all of the CW [superhero] shows will be on the same Earth.” Of course, unlike in the comics, the heroes saving the day does not result in ALL DC live-action universes merging into one Earth, as shown in the ‘Legends of Tomorrow’ episode of the crossover. New shows like ‘Stargirl‘ which is set […]

Flash In The Pan: The CW Shocked Fans With A Surprise Cameo In “Crisis On Infinite Earths”

Jax Motes — Wed, 15 Jan 2020 13:55:56 +0000

SPOILER ALERT: If you have not seen the final two chapters of The CW’s “Crisis on Infinite Earths” crossover, this contains MASSIVE SPOILERS so turn back now or proceed with caution. The CW split up its annual crossover event between its DC Comics-based shows over the winter hiatus, with the first three episodes of “Crisis on Infinite Earths” airing in December, and the last two on Tuesday, January 14. The first three installments got mixed reactions from viewers, as there were some pacing issues, and the magnitude of the destruction depicted didn’t really come across. But there were fun Easter Eggs, particularly in the first episode, which featured cameos from Burt Ward as the Dick Grayson of Earth-66, and Robert Wuhl as Alexander Knox, the character he played in 1989’s ‘Batman’, on a world now known as Earth-89. But the producers and network kept the biggest reveals and Easter Eggs for the final chapters, and no one was prepared for one cameo in particular! Yes, Ezra Miller’s Flash came face-to-face with Grant Gustin’s! This is remarkable in many every way. For starters, if you’ve been following The CW shows from the start, you know there has been friction between the […]
