Nightwing TV Show Headed To TNT

There was some talk recently that Batman's ex-Robin Nightwing might be joining the ranks of The CW's successful Arrow series. That turns out to be unfounded, since Nightwing is getting his own show on TNT. Bruce Wayne's young ward Dick Grayson will front the young super friends of new series Titans . This would be a version of the Teen Titans , although the "teen" part of that title is being ditched to indicate the show's more mature approach. The pilot episode will see Grayson "emerge from the shadow of Batman to become Nightwing, the leader of a fearless band of new superheroes including Starfire, Raven and many others". The show is pitched as "a dramatic adventure series that will explore and celebrate one of the most popular comic book titles ever". Given the success of the Teen Titans animated series in the early '00s, the fact that Nightwing is famously the most handsome man in the DC stable (so they're going to have t

Prison Break Reunion Heading To THE FLASH

A Prison Break reunion is coming to TV — on The Flash, that is. Dominic Purcell has boarded The CW comic-book drama as a DC Comics villain, reuniting with his Prison Break co-star Wentworth Miller in the 10th episode. This marks the first time Purcell and Miller , who played brothers Lincoln Burrows and Michael Scofield, will have appeared together since Prison Break ended in 2009. Purcell will play Mick Rory , a pyromaniac who finds an outlet for his obsession with fire when he teams up with Leonard Snart/Captain Cold ( Miller ) and becomes the villain known as Heatwave . Miller was cast in The Flash back in July and makes his debut in episode four. Purcell's character will also be heard from in that same episode. In DC Comics lore, Heatwave is a member of the Rogues, led by Captain Cold. Heatwave has been featured in animated form on shows such as Justice League Unlimited and Batman: The Brave and the Bold. Other major Prison Break castmembers have been featured i

New #Arrow Season 3 Trailer

Oliver Queen ( Stephen Amell ) making the move on his trusted tech whiz Felicity Smoak ( Emily Bett Rickards ). While in the middle of another high-speed chase in Starling City, Oliver doesn't waste a second in asking Felicity out on that date. Watch the clip after the Jump... "Do you like Italian?" he asks innocently while racing through an abandoned backstreet on his bike. "Oliver, you're in the middle of a high-speed chase," Felicity says, slightly taken aback. Oliver's response? "I'm multitasking." In another moment, Oliver — lightening up a little — takes an early leave after some late-night crime-fighting only to have Quentin Lance ( Paul Blackthorne ) drop in this gem: "Do you have a hot date or something?" As the trailer — set to Death From Above 1979's "Trainwreck 1979" — suggests, it's a new day in Starling City in season three. Diggle ( David Ramsey ) puts it best when he says there are two ty

Robbie Amell Cast As Firestorm

Onetime Tomorrow person Robbie Amell has quickly teleported himself into a hot new role — on The CW’s freshman superhero series The Flash . TVLine has learned that the actor (and real-life cousin of Arrow star Stephen Amell ) has been cast in the recurring role of Ronnie Raymond, the fiance of S.T.A.R. Labs scientist Caitlin Snow (played by Danielle Panabaker ). Oh, and Ronnie is also one-half of the DC Comics character Firestorm – creating a tremendous bit of irony, considering Caitlin’s own (possible) destiny. In his Flash incarnation, S.T.A.R. Labs maintenance worker Ronnie plays an integral part in the particle accelerator accident that transforms Barry Allen ( Grant Gustin ) into the titular speedster. “[DC Comics Chief Creative Officer] Geoff Johns, Andrew Kreisberg and myself designed the pilot and series to include Ronnie (aka Firestorm) — and to actually have someone with Robbie’s talent playing the role is beyond exciting,” EP Greg Berlanti said in a statement. “We c

Brandon Routh Joins Arrow Season 3

The " Superman Returns " star joins The CW comic-book drama in a recurring role. Brandon Routh has been cast in the recurring role of Ray Palmer, otherwise known as The Atom , on the third season of The CW comic-book drama, The Hollywood Reporter confirms. Ray Palmer is described as an unrivaled scientist and inventor, who will play an unexpected role in Oliver's and Felicity's lives as the new Queen Consolidated owner and whose intentions with the company's Applied Sciences division are a mystery. In the DC Comics, The Atom can shrink down to a subatomic size. This marks one of the only times the character has appeared in a live-action series, as TVLine first reported. Routh, who played Clark Kent/Superman in 2006's Superman Returns, is repped by UTA and Main Title. Other credits include features Scott Pilgrim vs. the World and Zack and Miri Make a Porno; TV's Chuck and Partners; as well as Crackle's digital series Chosen. He is the late

#DevonAoki Joins Arrow Season 3

Aoki will play Tatsu Yamashiro , a character that first appeared in the Green Arrow origin series graphic novels published by DC Comics. She is a Japanese martial arts expert who wields a deadly sword, a blade from which her codename Katana is derived. In Arrow, Tatsu will be one of Oliver’s mentors in the flashbacks and a critical influence on his journey to eventually become The Arrow of present day. Please Leave A Comment- Source- Deadline

CW's #TheFlash Extended Trailer

The Flash extended trailer has arrived.  What do you think? The Flash with a rather spectacular and effects-heavy new trailer that clocks in at more than five minutes. After a particle accelerator causes a freak storm, CSI Investigator Barry Allen is struck by lightning and falls into a coma. Months later he awakens with the power of super speed, granting him the ability to move through Central City like an unseen guardian angel. Though initially excited by his newfound powers, Barry is shocked to discover he is not the only "meta-human" who was created in the wake of the accelerator explosion -- and not everyone is using their new powers for good. Barry partners with S.T.A.R. Labs and dedicates his life to protect the innocent. For now, only a few close friends and associates know that Barry is literally the fastest man alive, but it won't be long before the world learns what Barry Allen has become...The Flash. And here's the shorter one, which features A
