We break down the cast, and discuss its big differences to a certain Marvel team. Story by Matt Cummings Now that CW's Arrow and The Flash have released their finales, it's time to look at another superhero series debuting on the network next Fall. And just like Warner Bros' movie adaptation of the team up Suicide Squad, this one's got a lot of familiar faces. Titled DC's Legends of Tomorrow , the series brings together a collection of heroes from Arrow and The Flash, some of which were introduced this season. The Atom (Brandon Routh), FIRESTORM (Robbie Amell), Hawkgirl (Kendra Saunders), White Canary (Kaity Lotz), and villain Captain Cold (Wentworth Miller). Scientist Dr. Martin Stein (Victor Garber) looks to be the team's version of Professor X, leading the way backstage and serving as the team's morals/conscience. The announcement was made this week at the Upfront media event in Los Angeles by showing the trailer below, and has already be

The Big 5 deciding what they expect us to watch this fall. By Brandon Wolfe Pilot season has commenced as the networks have begun their first round of pickups. NBC has ordered the dramas The Player , Chicago Med , Blindspot and Heartbreaker to series. Also in contention are Warrior , Game of Silence , The Curse of the Fuentes Women and Love Is a Four Letter Word . The network is really pinning its rebirth hopes on drama rather than comedy, the genre upon which it built an empire in the ‘80s and ‘90s. The crop given the go-ahead today will join fellow dramas Shades of Blue , Emerald City and pointless reboot/event series Heroes: Reborn in the fall. On the comedy front, NBC has a number of prospects, including Superstore , Strange Calls , People Are Talking , a pointless small-screen reboot of Problem Child , How We Live and Cuckoo . Already ordered are Telenovela starring Eva Longoria and, yet one more pointless reboot, Coach . Fox will be adding its television adapt

Murderers, Sociopaths, and Zombies. Oh my! Story by @ErikaAshley A couple of teenage film makers shoot footage for their most recent film at an abandoned building down by the shipyard when they stumble across a person down in cellar. Over at the morgue Ravi scrolls through his Google Search for “Seattle Zombies” finding a recent post from a local teenager featuring a picture of what looks to be a zombie. He suggests they do some recon and take a look for themselves but Liv refuses, at first, and then reluctantly accepts but insists she eat because she was started to feel ravenous and he wouldn’t be safe around her. The most recent dead man to come into their office is a hit and run victim and after reading the case file for the deceased gentleman, Marvin Webster, Ravi gives her the clear that the brain should be safe to chow on. Just as Liv finishes a much needed snack Blaine drops by the morgue and confronts her as to why she stood him up. She lets him know she doesn’t trust

Here's why his recent comments are absolutely necessary in order for network television's survival. Story by Matt Cummings Network television - specifically CBS, NBC, ABC, Fox, and The CW - are in a sort of renaissance. Fueled by some of the best programming we've seen since the "Must See" era of 1994-1995, shows are grittier and more realistic than ever before. Yet, some would claim the opposite, that the current formula for television is outdated and could lead to its death unless big changes are made. With pay television opting for shorter seasons (that is, between 10-13 episodes) with shows like the Amazon Original Bosch, broadcast television has been slow to catch up. Recent trends - such as the short run for Marvel's Agent Carter - suggest that someone is listening. But, has there been enough to change the entire industry? That subject has been on our minds lately, as we've discussed it several times on our podcast Inside the Buck

We learn today who one of the three "mystery" heroes will be. Story by Matt Cummings Those new to the superhero-on-television trend might have forgotten the one that started it all: CW's Smallville , a mix of teenage melodrama in its first 8 seasons, and a fairly good superhero tale in its last two. During those final seasons, we were introduced to the mother of all superhero team-ups, The Justice Society of America, which featured Doctor Fate, elder versions of The Flash and The Green Lantern, and Michael Shanks as the nearly-immortal Hawkman. Hidden within the epic "Absolute Justice" was Hawkman's origin story, featuring the story of his dead love, Hawkgirl. Fast forward one disappointing series finale and two very successful - and frankly better - series in The Flash and Arrow , and we've arrived at a sort of full circle. For it was revealed today by Deadline that one of three "mystery heroes" has been cast in the team-up

Brains and beauty, some zombies can just have it all. Story by @ErikaAshley A murder victim, Javier, is found dead with the weapon sticking out of his eye by his wife and art dealer. When Ravi and Liv arrive to the scene Ravi notices the victim is a local popular artist and admires his art while he works. Babineaux automatically assumes the wife who found the victim killed him but asks for Liv’s psychic input. Ravi and Liv return to the morgue where Live eats the victim’s brain in a hot pocket in order to help out Babineaux, without him known of course. Later Major drops by Liv’s apartment return some of her items and but mostly just wants to get close to her again. He suggests they take a road trip and she acts cold and distant towards him. Feeling awkward and out of place he leaves before her roommate can ask for the juicer they got as an engagement gift. He agrees to bring it by and leaves upset. That night Liv has a nightmare that the other zombie from the incident almos

She’s not dead, just undead and learning to live again. Story by @ErikaAshley The much anticipated and newest addition to the CW Tuesday night lineup, iZombie , has finally been unleashed on television viewers around the world. This show has some legs and could take off running during this Spring’s hiatus-period begins. The pilot starts with a familiar comic-book entrance depicting an over achieving new resident doctor, Olivia “Liv” Moore, saving the life of an emergency trauma patient. After her heroic act and a long day’s work Liv is welcomed into her new practice by a fellow colleague extending an offer to attend a party that night. She graciously declines mentioning she doesn’t do parties and instead would rather spend time with her fiancé, Major. He insists she go to the party to let loose, I mean what’s the worst that can happen? The worst then does happen. Of course it happens. While at the party that happens to be on a boat the white collar party-goers take a new d
