DC On TV Expands

By Alex Burns



Check out these great shots of grant Gustin's Flash alongside Melissa Benoist's Supergirl for the upcoming crossover episode on CBS. The two actors look to be having a great time on-set and are joined by what appears to be two DC Comics villains, Silver Banshee and Livewire!





Barry Allen is the only character from The Flash set to appear in the crossover and it looks likely that the multiple Earths storyline from that show will play some role in explaining the character's appearance in Supergirl.





The Crossover episode is set to air March 28th. The Flash airs Tuesdays on The CW and Supergirl on Mondays on CBS. Both shows are available on Sky One here in the UK.

The pair are hanging out in a Leavesden Studios production office that is filled with more than a few hints of what to expect from the future of DC Films in the coming years. Clearly the big one here is the first look at what Ezra Miller will be wearing as the movie version of The Flash, the scarlet speedsters costume can be seen at the left hand side of the image at the back.

There's also what looks to be an Aquaman costume, plenty of Atlantean armour and concepts scattered around plus an image of Aquaman's wife, Mera. There's Batman's cowl in the bottom right plus a jet black costume that could be any number of DC characters. What's your bet, Nightwing? Black Manta? It could be a Green Lantern costume without the green pieces added...

Justice League is set to commence filming April 11th so prepare for some big teases after Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice opens proper on March 25th

Old Green Arrow Revealed in New Legends of Tomorrow Images

Old Green Arrow Revealed in New Legends of Tomorrow Images

Plus the Arrival of Connor Hawke...

By Alex Burns



DC's Legends of Tomorrow is kicking comicbook translations on the small screen up a notch with a full on superhero team on show and with this latest piece of news we're falling in love with the show even more! Stephen Amell has revealed these new images of his upcoming appearance in Legends and of course he's in full Green Arrow but that's not all, the guy is old! Plus there's a goatee! Well more a full on beard but noen the less this look is all kinds of awesome and more than a little reminiscent of Oliver Queen's look in The Dark Knight Returns graphic novel by Frank Miller, I wonder if he's bald under that hood?



“Every once and a while, we do an episode where the 10-year-old me has to pinch himself,” said executive producer Marc Guggenheim on Old Man Oliver’s upcoming appearance. “We’re not only introducing our version of Connor Hawke to our universe, we’re going to meet the 2046 version of Oliver Queen, and Stephen Amell is going to be reprising his role from Arrow. As an added bonus to comic-book fans, Oliver is missing his left arm and will be sporting a goatee, in a nod to the character’s appearance in the seminal Dark Knight Returns. We think this episode features some of the coolest things we’ve ever done.”
 
The episode promises to be seriously epic and we can't wait to see how they introduce Connor who had a great stint as Green Arrow in the comics a little over a decade ago.
