Heroes Of The CW Suit Up In 10 New DC Fandome Posters

Jax Motes — Sun, 16 Aug 2020 20:00:37 +0000

Next weekend, DC Comics (an AT&T/WarnerMedia subsidiary) will hold its first-ever virtual fan convention, DC Fandome, and in anticipation of that event, The CW has released posters showcasing its slate in DC shows. Newcomers ‘Stargirl’ (Brec Bassinger) and ‘Superman & Lois’ (Tyler Hoechlin and Elizabeth Tulloch) are included along with Cress Williams (Black Lightning/Jefferson Pierce) from ‘Black Lightning’, Grant Gustin (The Flash/Barry Allen) and Candice Patton (Iris West-Allen) from ‘The Flash’, and Melissa Benoist (Supergirl/Kara Danvers) and Nicole Maines (Nia Nal/Dreamer) from ‘Supergirl’. It’s interesting that Patton and Maines get their own posters, when they are supporting castmembers, while The CW’ real ensemble show, ‘Legends of Tomorrow’ only gets one poster, depicting Caity Lotz as White Canary/Sara Lance. But the strangest inclusion is the poster for ‘Batwoman’. In May, the show’s lead, Ruby Rose, quit the show. She has since been replaced by Javica Leslie, but due to COVID-19, it doesn’t appear that production has resumed on any of these shows, and Leslie may not have even done a costume fitting yet. So instead… the poster depicts the Batsignal. Mmmm-kay. They could have just not done a ‘Batwoman’ poster. Each poster is trimmed with artwork from the comics, to remind […]

DC Fandome Releases A Trailer To Get You Pumped For The First Ever DC Virtual Con

Jax Motes — Thu, 06 Aug 2020 13:00:54 +0000

Fans of DC Comics and its various media had to have been disappointed that none of them were presented at San Diego Comic-Con’s virtual con this year. Instead, the WarnerMedia DC empire is holding its own virtual con, DC Fandome, on August 22. This event will take place for 24 hours. At least from the look of things, DC Fandome will be a more interactive experience (I really don’t need to see another Zoom panel) and “attendees” will be able to explore various virtual areas and get teases from upcoming projects like the movies ‘Aquaman’ (the sequel or the movie that came out two years ago?), ‘The Batman’, ‘Black Adam’, ‘The Suicide Squad’, ‘Wonder Woman 1984’, and HBO Max’s re-edit ‘Zack Snyder’s Justice League’; and the TV shows ‘Batwoman’, ‘Doom Patrol’, ‘Lucifer’, and ‘Pennyworth’. To promote DC Fandome, Warner Brothers has released a rousing trailer, set to John Williams’ ‘Superman: The Movie’ theme song. Check it out below: These are the virtual areas that fans can explore (via Collider): DC WatchVerse: Here’s where you grab a seat, sit back, and join our virtual audience and become completely engrossed in hours of must-see content from around the world.

“Real Heroes Wear Masks” In This Series Of Posters From The CW’s Arrowverse Family

Jax Motes — Tue, 04 Aug 2020 11:00:27 +0000

“Real Heroes Wear Masks” tout a new series of posters from The CW featuring some of the stars of its DC Comics-inspired shows. Okay, so these are just photoshopped versions of previously released promo images, but they’re a fun way to hopefully help curb the spread of COVID-19. The posters feature ‘Black Lightning’s Cress Williams, ‘The Flash’s Grant Gustin, ‘Legends of Tomorrow’s Caity Lotz, and ‘Supergirl’s Melissa Benoist, as well as Tyler Hoechlin as Superman, star of the upcoming ‘Superman & Lois’ plus Brec Bassinger, the lead on ‘Stargirl’, another DC show, but one that is not part of the Arrowverse. Yes, there is one glaring omission: Batwoman. Ruby Rose shockingly quit that series in May. And while her replacement, Javica Leslie, was hired last month, she would not have had time to suit up and do a photoshoot. (Although that would’ve been cool, and a big scoop!) Perhaps in order to make up for the absence of a Batwoman, the posters added a different bonus character– BeeBo, the plushy phenomenon from ‘Legends’. Check out the posters below: Though production on all shows has been shut down, it is hoped that ‘The Flash’ (Season 7), ‘Black Lightning’ (S4), ‘Batwoman’ (S2), […]

The Entire Arrowverse Along With The Rest Of The CW’s New “Fall” Lineup Has Been Pushed To 2021

Jax Motes — Fri, 15 May 2020 16:10:27 +0000

While most folks have held out hope that things would be back to normal soon, the effects of COVID-19 continue to escalate and The CW is the first network to announce that the usual fall TV rollout will not happen as usual this year. The main problem is that most shows had to cut their current seasons short, so there are still multiple episodes of ‘Batwoman’, ‘The Flash’, and ‘Supergirl’, as well as ‘Riverdale’, ‘Legacies’, and ‘Supernatural’ (which is in its FINAL season), that were left unfilmed. Luckily, ‘Black Lightning’ and ‘Legends of Tomorrow’ were completely wrapped before shutdowns went into effect. Hopefully, the unfilmed episodes will be completed and aired this year, because The CW has declared that its new season won’t begin until at least January 2021! The CW’s president, Mark Pedowitz, announced: “As we manage the current crisis, we’ve developed a methodical programming strategy for this year and well in to next that we believe works for The CW, our advertisers, affiliates and audience while keeping the health and safety of our productions and creative partners front of mind… [2021 will offer] more original scripted programming throughout the year, week in and week out, than we have […]

‘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 […]

What Are The ‘Legends Of Tomorrow’ Doing With ‘Supernatural’s Baby?

Jax Motes — Thu, 12 Mar 2020 20:15:44 +0000

The ‘Legends of Tomorrow’ have found themselves in some pretty wild predicaments in the past, and that continues, as the show will feature an unexpected crossover with fellow CW series ‘Supernatural’! Well… sort of. After the splashy ‘Crisis on Infinite Earths’ event, co-showrunner Phil Klemmer joked that the show can’t really afford anything more expensive than to set an episode in Vancouver, where both shows film. But, in the upcoming episode entitled “Zari. Not Zari,” the Legends won’t meet up with the Winchesters, because… well, they’re not real. Klemmer stated (via EW): “From the beginning, we knew that we wanted to set an episode in modern-day Vancouver, because directly following the crossover that was all we could afford… I’m kidding, sorta, not really. Anyway, we wanted to do a spooky, Predator-style skulk-around-the-woods episode and at the 11th hour decided to have the Legends intersect with the crew of Supernatural. This was the inspired choice of our producing director Kevin Mock, I believe. In our world, Supernatural is a TV show, not a real thing. Sorry, Supernatural fans.” As you can see in this picture, Sarah (Caity Lotz) is holding a sign that reads “Public Notice – Supernatural Filming in Progress’. So the gang is investigating […]

Brandon Routh Reveals His Departure From ‘Legends Of Tomorrow’ Was “Not Well Handled”

Jax Motes — Fri, 06 Mar 2020 22:53:34 +0000

Back in August, it was announced that Brandon Routh and his real-life wife Courtney Ford were leaving ‘Legends of Tomorrow’ during the current fifth season. Routh has played Ray Palmer/The Atom for six seasons, having begun his superheroic journey on ‘Arrow’ before helping launch the spin-off. Ford debuted as Norah Darhk in S3 before becoming a series regular in S4. It was assumed that Routh and Ford had chosen to depart the ensemble series on their own. But according to a recent interview Routh provided for Michael Rosenbaum’s Inside of You podcast, it seems as though perhaps it wasn’t their decision and that they were actually written out of the show. While discussing anxiety and mental health, Routh cited himself as an example and spoke about how difficult it was to film his final scenes on the series. “What I try to do at work is go to work, and try to enjoy my time on set. You don’t know what the end product is going to be. And I had to go into this — you’re also talking about loss, so we’re going back to that — loss of my family for the last five years, and the character […]

“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 […]

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’.

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 […]
