The Green Lantern TV Series Just Revealed Its Intriguing Lineup of Space Cops

DC’s Green Lantern may not have gotten the justice it deserved on the big screen, but Warner Bros. is hoping to fix that on the small screen. We’ve known for a while that a show was in the works for HBO Max but now we know that author and screenwriter Seth Grahame-Smith will be the…

Oh My God, Sony’s Still Trying to Make That Jackpot Movie Happen

The SPUMC continues to expand, but at what cost? At. What. Cost??? Deadline reports that Marc Guggenheim, comics writer and co-creator/producer of Arrow, has been tapped to pen Sony’s long-gestating plans for a movie based around everyone’s favorite Amazing Friend of Spider-Man, Jackpot. Remember Jackpot? No? Absolutely not, because really, who would? Well, Guggenheim himself…

Arrow‘s Bright Green Tease Was About Exactly What You Thought It Was

Arrow’s season finale bid farewell to Oliver Queen and gave us all the briefest of glimpses of the lives his former teammates would go on to lead in the wake of the original Green Arrow’s death. The show’s heroes aren’t completely disappearing from the Arrowverse, but for at least one of them, Arrow made clear…

The Final Scene of Arrow Came to Its Producer…Mid-Meditation

There’s something very DC/CW-niverse-y about the idea that Arrow—the show that started it all as a grounded and (occasionally) self-serious comic book adaptation—got the inspiration for its very last scene from someone who was mid-tranquil-state. You could almost say it appeared as a vision. That is apparently the case for Arrow’s final scene, which saw…

Crisis on Infinite Earths Was Already Wrapped Before Its Biggest Surprise Happened

The CW’s DC crossovers are always filled with fun, and often incredibly absurd surprises. They are, after all, about a smorgasbord of attractive actors in various heaps of pleather punching extradimensional beings, aliens, nazis, and sometimes even extradimensional alien nazis. But Crisis on Infinite Earths perhaps had the wildest yet—and it nearly didn’t happen. Although…

The Green Arrow and the Canaries Spinoff Could Make for a Stake-Less Arrowverse

The CW is looking to jumpstart its latest Arrowverse series with an upcoming episode of Arrow that serves as a backdoor pilot for a TV show about the Canaries. We have a bit more info on the plot now, which takes place 20 years in the future, ensuring that nothing else that happens in the…

Turns Out the Real Story Behind Deathstroke’s Arrow Debut Is Just as Noncommittal as the Show’s Own Explanation

When Arrow launched an entire universe or two of superhero TV in 2012, one of its most audacious moves—beyond like, being good; it was a dark time for superhero TV!—was to immediately set comic book fans’ heads on fire with the mother of all teases: Deathstroke’s mask nonchalantly sitting on the shore of Oliver’s island of…

Carnival Row Now Has Daredevil’s Old Showrunner

We were disappointed by Carnival Row, a show which had a lot of potential but fell a bit flat. Turns out, the ongoing show has had some ongoing creative disagreements—enough so that it’s seeing a significant set of backstage changes. The biggest change is that Marc Guggenheim, of Arrowverse fame, is stepping down as showrunner,…

In This Week’s Star Wars Comic, Jar Jar Binks Gets to Be a Bit of a Badass

This is something that should probably be described as Bombad. Perhaps even muy Bombad. Jar Jar Binks has had a bad rap in Star Wars pretty much ever since he was first introduced. He quickly transformed from comic relief character to the butt of all jokes, and when it wasn’t Star Wars fandom cracking the…

X-Men Gold‘s Big Wedding Surprise Is Going to Be Appropriately Messy and Dramatic

Whenever the X-Men get together for a celebration, it’s only a matter of time before things start exploding and emotions begin to run high. Unsurprisingly, that’s exactly what’s about to happen in this week’s X-Men: Gold—and a big Marvel reveal for tomorrow’s issue was just spoiled in The New York Times. In an interview with…

Colton Haynes Is Returning to Arrow, Which Seems Odd, Doesn’t It?

Just when Arrow fans thought Roy and Thea were going to ride off and save the world together (and cuddle along the way), news of actor Colton Haynes, who plays Roy, coming back as a series regular has shaken things up. But that, along with new comments from executive producer Marc Guggenheim, may suggest it’s…

Arrow Just Can’t Let Go of Flashbacks

Arrow has been saying it was going to phase out the flashbacks for years. After five seasons—matching five years of Ollie was ostensibly “on the island”—it looked like they were finally coming to an end. But it seems the show can’t stop showing us Stephen Amell in a variety of ridiculous wigs that tell us…
