Landing on the CW this Fall

By Alex Burns

The CW have revealed the first poster for Season 2 of Supergirl! Melissa Benoist returns as Kara Zor-El for another season of superhero adventures on the same network that hosts The Flash and Arrow.

Superman will also feature in the new season played by MTV's Teen Wolf actor Tyler Hoechlin. It remains to be seen just how much the Supergirl universe will cross over with the events going on in shows like The Flash. Since Barry Allen has been running through dimensions with even greater regularity and even crossed over with Kara for a special episode earlier in the year, it's a safe bet we'll be seeing more superhero team ups down the line!

Batman Casting? Ben Affleck Shares Footage of Deathstroke!

Batman/JL Casting? Ben Affleck Shares Footage of Deathstroke!

The Dark Knight vs Master Assassin

By Alex Burns

Ben Affleck has just shared this insane clip of Deathstroke on his official twitter page! Let the speculation begin!

https://t.co/0NsNzCtGip

— Ben Affleck (@BenAffleck) August 29, 2016

So is this the first confirmed villain for Justice League? With the film in production right now and the footage clearly filmed from a monitor it looks like this iconic villain could be facing off against the DC Comics hero.

Maybe the master assassin is being teased as he will appear in Ben Affleck's solo Batman film? This seems less likely as that movie has no confirmed release date and Ben Affleck has already gone on record to say the project is still in the early stages of development and they are waiting for the perfect script which he is working on with DC Entertainment's Chief Creative Officer, Geoff Johns. 

"We're still working on it and I'm not happy enough with it yet to actually go out there and make a Batman movie, which I would have the highest of standards I would say." Affleck said.

You never know though, could Affleck be assembling portions of his Batman film whilst also filming his scenes for Justice League? After all, Zack Snyder filmed Ezra Miller's Flash cameo for Suicide Squad from the Justice League set so it's not totally out of the realms of possibility that Affleck may be over excited and sharing some solo Batman goodies very early.

Whatever the case may be, fans have cause for excitement as we've all been eager to see Deathstroke join the DC cinematic universe for forever and it looks as though that is finally happening for real. What do you guys think?

Need a Batman fix now? Well we have spent ALOT of time thinking about how this new solo Batman film could shape up, check out our thoughts our podcast special

Ben Affleck is set to appear as Batman once again in Justice League which is set to release November 17, 2017. We'll keep you updated on this Deathstroke story as it happens.

Batman: The Return of the Caped Crusaders New Trailer and Home Video Details

Holy Bonus Features!

By Alex Burns

Take a look at this bat-tastic new trailer for Batman: The Return of the Caped Crusaders!


It’s back to the 1960s as Batman and Robin spring into action when Gotham City is threatened by a quartet of Batman’s most fiendish foes – Penguin, The Joker, Riddler and Catwoman. This time, the four Super-Villains have combined their wicked talents to hatch a plot so nefarious that the Dynamic Duo will need to go to outer space (and back) to foil their arch enemies and restore order in Gotham City. It’s a truly fantastic adventure that will pit good against evil, good against good, evil against evil … and feature two words that exponentially raise the stakes for both sides: Replicator Ray. Holy Multiplication Tables!

As well as a brand new animated adventure we are also getting two brand new featurettes:

“Those Dastardly Desperados” featurette – Joker, Catwoman, Penguin and Riddler are impossible not to watch! Those Dastardly Desperados explores how these fiends became more than just antagonists in a Batman story; they became icons in American pop culture.

“A Classic Cadre of Voices” featurette – A new talented cast of actors join Adam West, Burt Ward and Julie Newmar in Batman: Return of The Caped Crusaders. Go behind the scenes and witness the vocal techniques and timing needed to deliver a classic Bat-Comedy!

Featuring the return of Adam West and Burt Ward as the iconic Dynamic Duo, Return of the Caped Crusaders gives fans on the original 60's TV Series another dose of classy superheroics like nothing else. Julie Newmar also reprises her role as Catwoman for an extra dash of villainy to this exciting comicbook cocktail!

Batman: Return of the Caped Crusaders is set for release October 11 on digital platforms and November 1 on Blu-ray and DVD.
