Arrow Star Unhappy With Split Universes

Arrow Star Unhappy With Split Universes

, 0

For a while, Arrow was the only live-action DC Comics property that wasn’t Batman or Superman. In many ways it was because of Arrow that the DCTV Universe exists with so many characters. This notion has caused many fans to be angry with DC Comics over the decision to keep the TV and movie universes separated instead of having them all inhabit the same universe. This extends to the stars of Arrow apparently, as Willa Holland, who plays Thea Queen, voiced her displeasure at this: “Marvel does it in their own weird way, the mash between Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D and the movies and stuff,” she said at MCM London Comic-Con (via Mirror). “So it’s a little upsetting because you know it is possible and it can be done and how good it would be if it was done.” For Holland, another displeasure was that they had to stop bringing in the Suicide Squad after the movie was confirmed, even though they had them in long before the movie was even

Carlos Valdes Talks Flash Series Doing Flashpoint

Whatever you think about the second season of Flash, it’s fair to say that what happened at the end was not only shocking, but a callout to a certain piece of Flash history. Flashpoint. In the show, after defeating Zoom (but losing his father), Barry Allen decides that the pain of not having either parent is so great that he races back in time to the night his mother was murdered and stops it from happening. Especially rewriting all of history in a Flash…sorry, couldn’t resist. A similar event happened in the comics, called Flashpoint, and as we would find out: this was a terrible mistake by Barry. As this “change” altered the entire timeline for the worse. Including the Justice League never forming, and some of its members being either dead, or dictators at war. While it’s fair to say that kind of impact (due to rights and character inclusions) won’t be happening in Flash Season 03, many are wondering just what will happen. At Megacon, Carlos Valdes, who

Geoff Johns Offers Refund For DC Universe Rebirth

Today is an important day in DC Comics history. As the universe will be remade in a way via the DC Universe Rebirth #1 issue. This “remaking” of the universe is meant to give back the light, hope, and legacy that the DC Universe has been known for, but has been criticized for lacking during the last four years via the New 52 era. The issue is written by DC Comics Chief Creative Officer Geoff Johns, who is so confident that people will like it, he told ComicBook.com that if they don’t, he’ll give them a refund. “It’s $2.99 for 80 pages. It’s not a lot,” Johns told Comicbook.com in an interview in New York. “If anyone wants to check out comics, wants to check out DC Universe Rebirth #1 and doesn’t like it, they can mail [the comicbook] to Warner Bros., to me, and I will send them a check, I literally will, for both postage and for the book. I will buy all these books back because I

Stephen Amell Teases Arrow Season 5 Villain

Stephen Amell Teases Arrow Season 5 Villain

This upcoming Wednesday is the season 04 finale of Arrow. One of the more consistently good seasons in the shows history in this writers opinion. Majorly in part because of the villain Damien Darhk played by the amazing Neal McDonough. With Darhk no doubt going down in the finale, all eyes are on hints of what the next “big bad” will be. Last season they teased Darhk’s arrival, we’ve had no such tease here. Stephen Amell though, who plays Oliver Queen/Green Arrow, does know who’s coming, for he told Variety: “I’ve heard that our big bad, our villain, is something that you can really only do once you’re in the fifth, sixth or seventh season of a TV show. He also mentioned that: “As far as I know, they don’t have superpowers. I’ll tell you that.” Amell also notes he looks forward to truly focusing back on Arrow full time, as the last few seasons he’s helped build the “Arrowverse” with the characters of Flash and Legends of Tomorrow basically

There are some major shakeups going on at Warner Bros. involving the DC Extended Universe movies. According to The Hollywood Reporter, there will now be a newly created DC Films heading up the DC Entertainment-centered films. This brand will be co-run by current executive vice president Jon Berg and Geoff Johns, the Chief Content Officer of DC Entertainment. This process will reportedly refine the executive role at Warner due to a recent disappointing run of movies, and a process that has also annoyed producers and filmmakers due to a “murky greenlight process.” The executives are set to oversee the upcoming DC projects and managing the “genre streams.” They will report to Warner Bros. Pictures president Greg Silverman.  More executive changes are also expected at Warner Bros. Berg is currently working on Suicide Squad Wonder Woman and the upcoming Justice League movies. In addition, he previously worked with Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice star Ben Affleck on Argo and Live by Night. Johns is still going to report to DC Entertainment President

Wonder Woman Solo Film To Be “Coming of Age” Story

Production has wrapped on the Wonder Woman solo movie starring Gal Gadot, and is set to release in August of next year. There’s a lot of anticipation for the movie and the character after her scene-stealing role in Batman V Superman. As Gal Gadot notes in an interview with Sci Now though, that’s not the Wonder Woman we’ll see in the film. At least, not at first. “In Batman V Superman, you are being introduced to a very experienced, dark Wonder Woman,” Gadot said. “She has been around for a while. Something happened 100 years ago that made her not want to be involved in a man’s world. However, we are going to tell the entire coming of age story of Diana. We’re going to see how she becomes Wonder Woman. She is very different to the Diana that you see in [Dawn Of Justice]. She is more naïve and she’s purer. She is a young idealist who does not yet understand the complexities of life.” Gadot states though that

Team Flash Will “Go On The Offensive” In Season 3

Team Flash Will “Go On The Offensive” In Season 3

Much of Season 02 of Flash has dealt with Barry Allen reacting more than acting in regards to the villainous Zoom and the arrivals from Earth-2. In a chat with IGN, Carlos Valdes talked about this notion of them always being on the defensive, and whether that could change next season. “I think, yes, naturally Team Flash is always on the defensive. I think this brave new world is still very new, very fresh, and so it makes sense that they would be on the defensive considering all sorts of new and mysterious threats constantly present themselves while metahumans run amok on every Earth. It makes sense that Team Flash is constantly on the defensive. It’s a very defensive position, really, to be a world-saver; to fight crime and be a superhero. But I think fans can definitely expect Barry to be on the offense in some capacity in Season 3. That’s all I’m going to say.” Also, the tease of tonights return of the Particle Accelerator is not going

It’s an odd time for DC Comics Extended Universe. Despite Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice making over $850 million dollars and counting, many are focusing on the critical reviews and words of some fans. Now, The Hollywood Reporter revealed that Flash movie Seth Grahame-Smith has left the film over “creative differences”. Then, The Wrap reported that WB parted ways with Smith because: “Warner Bros. is said to be pleased with Grahame-Smith’s script, but ultimately wanted a more experienced filmmaker guiding the production.” Not long after that, a rumor began stating that Aquaman Director James Wan was possibly going to be the next to leave. This came via media site Birth.Movies.Death, who stated: “According to multiple, reliable sources James Wan is feeling a tremendous amount of trepidation about Aquaman. It’s important to remember two things – Fast 7 was a very difficult process for him, even without Paul Walker’s tragic death, and James Wan doesn’t really need Aquaman.” While there has been no update on the latter of these directors,

The Flash EP Talks Kevin Smith’s Upcoming Episode

The Flash is only four episodes away from its season ending. But before we get to that finale, we have an episode directed by none other than Kevin Smith, who has not been shy about his love for the series. In a roundtable interview (via ComicBook.com), The Flash Executive Producer Andrew Kreisberg noted how much fun it was to have Smith direct an episode: “Kevin is such a fan of this show, in a way that humbles me beyond my wildest expectations. To think about how often I quote his movies, and how he was who I wanted to be when I was in college, and to sit in a room with him and have him speak about this show so lovingly, intelligently and deeply, he didn’t approach this in the way of, ‘Well, here’s my chance to put my stamp on it,’ or ‘Here’s my chance to Clerks-ify it.’ His biggest drive was just to not mess it up because he’s such a fan. There was a reverence and an

When Arrow launched on CW, part of the hook of the show was that it dealt with two ongoing storylines. One was Oliver Queen in the present as the Arrow, and the other was Oliver Queen on the island of Lian Yu learning to become the Arrow. This was very unique at the time, and as the seasons went on, both the main story and the island story were both distant yet very connected. This year though, many fans including myself note how sluggish and very bland the flashbacks are. This is coming off last years where though it was important, it seemed to drag a lot. Talking to TVLine, the Executive Producers of the show admitted that this year was definitely a low point for the flashbacks: “Part of the appeal of the flashbacks – certainly in the first two years, but I think the first three years – is seeing what a big difference Arrowit is between Oliver Queen in the present day and Oliver Queen five years

Warner Bros. Home Entertainment and DC Entertainment have confirmed they accepted the R-rating from the MPAA for the upcoming animated home video release for Batman: The Killing Joke. There was talk about the movie possibly getting an R-rating before, but now it’s official. The R-rating was accepted in order to remain true to the iconic graphic novel’s violent, controversial story. This marks the first non-PG-/PG-13 rated movie in the nine-year history of the DC Universe Original Movie franchise. The Killing Joke features the origin story for Batman’s archnemesis The Joker, including his humble beginnings as a struggling comedian to his fateful encounter with Batman that changes their lives forever. The film features Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill reprising their respective iconic roles as Batman and The Joker. Bruce Timm is producing the film. Speaking on the announcement, Warner Bros. Animation President Sam Register stated: “From the start of production, we encouraged producer Bruce Timm and our team at Warner Bros. Animation to remain faithful to the original story – regardless of
