Regarding the move to show the final episode online only, NBC announced on its website, "Flash: The creators of The Cape a

That's right, Michael Bay is putting the polish on Transformers: Dark Of The Moon , the third instalment of his box-office-hoovering franchise, and this month's cover is adorned with a double-dose of metallic panic.

Here goes nothing: The League of Shadows . Headed by Talia Al’Ghul . With Bane ( Tom Hardy ), who is her muscle/possible love
