Fan-favorite Marvel Comics writer of Spider-Man and Silver Surfer, Dan Slott, appears to not have taken favorably to the new Batman Vs. Superman footage which was released earlier during Gotham.
Slott took to Twitter to voice his disassatifaction even though – like the rest of us – he hasn’t seen the whole movie. Slott also appears to not be a big fan of Man of Steel.
Before any accussations of Slott being a Marvel shill begin, Dan does state he’s a big fan of The Flash and Supergirl.
*For the record, Dan didn’t have a coronary – at least we hope not.
Update: Dan Slott has posted even more tweets blasting Batman Vs. Superman and Zack Snyder.
Check out the tweets:

@stark_armor That was a deconstruction of Spider-Man. The lead was Doctor Octopus. These guys are supposed to be Bruce and Clark. 🙁

@BenariLee He lets Robin die in a Tornado to protect his secret identity. Snaps Batman’s neck. And throws all 3 surfboards at Metropolis.

Recently two new female-oriented superhero shows hit the air waves with Marvel’s Jessica Jones and DC’s Supergirl.
However, don’t let the company rivalry fool you as Krysten Ritter is a big fan of Melissa Benoist and vice-versa.
Ritter took to her Instagram to show some love for Benoist, with Benoist returning the favor on Twitter.
Had a second to get caught up on my non #jessicajones TV and wanted to give a special shout out to my girl @melissabenoist ! I’ve been a big fan of hers since she first landed in LA. I met her early on when I was casting a show that I was producing and it was clear even then, fresh off the boat, that she was poised to be a big star. I’m so proud and happy for her for landing a part that she totally shines in. Funny, strong, adorable, and radiant! Congrats fellow superhero lady! Much love!
Just made my day @Krystenritter️sending love right back to you. Binged #JessicaJones and it’s insanely badass & you are way too talented

It seems those batch of Thanksgiving Day rumors have all but been debunked with the latest being Flash guest starring on Supergirl.
At a recent press event, executive producer Greg Berlanti was asked about the possibility and if there were even talks about it, but Berlanti stated it’s not happening.
“No, only because we just received the pick up. Not at this point,” Berlanti said.
Obviously as Supergirl shares the same creator as Arrow and the Flash – and they are both DC shows – the potential for a crossover some time down the line is always possible.
The other rumor that seems to be debunked is Constantine appearing on DC’s Legends Of Tomorrow.
[[wysiwyg_imageupload:23056:]]
CBS announced today an order for seven more episodes of SUPERGIRL, providing a full season of 20 episodes for the freshman drama that launched on Oct. 26. CBS has now given additional episode orders to all four of its new fall series – SUPERGIRL, LIFE IN PIECES, LIMITLESS and CODE BLACK.
SUPERGIRL currently averages 11.24 million viewers, 2.8/08 in adults 18-49 and 3.5/09 in adults 25-54. The series has improved the year-ago time period by +46% in viewers, +40% in adults 18-49 and +25% in adults 25-54.
SUPERGIRL stars Melissa Benoist, Mehcad Brooks, Chyler Leigh and Jeremy Jordan with David Harewood and Calista Flockhart. Greg Berlanti, Ali Adler, Andrew Kreisberg and Sarah Schechter are executive producers for Berlanti Productions in association with Warner Bros. Television. SUPERGIRL is based on the characters from DC Comics.
[[wysiwyg_imageupload:23053:]]
This past Thanksgiving saw a batch of DC TV rumors hit the net stating Constantine is going to be a part of DC’s Legends of Tomorrow Season 2, as well as The Flash appearing on Supergirl.
Now a couple of days later some things have changed.
According to the originator of the rumors, Bleeding Cool, the Constantine rumor might not hold true as another “source” is going so far as to state there may not even be a Season 2 for DC’s Legends of Tomorrow. The thought behind that rumor is the series is said to be incredibly expensive, and they are not sure if they will go ahead with a second season, but instead will go with a totally new series of some kind.
IMO, the DC’s Legends of Tomorrow rumors more or less seem as just simply ideas being tossed around, than anything else that would be of merit.
Regarding The Flash and Supergirl, the good news is that the original rumor is still holding true (at this time), with it said the storyline may involve an arc from the DC Comics Supergirl comic book about New Krypton, which saw 100,000 Kryptonians come to Earth after Brainiac freed them from the bottle city of Kandor, with a new planet being built for them. I believe the EP’s of Supergirl and Flash/Arrow said initially there wouldn’t be a crossover, but it seems that Supergirl‘s ratings have dipped a bit, so they may want to connect it to The Flash, which is a pretty popular show and character right now.

Following Robbie and Stephen Amell teasing “something super cool,” it’s now learned a young Superman is being cast for the CBS Supergirl TV series.
It’s unclear if the two are related, but TV Line is stating Supergirl is casting a young Kal-El, which will be featured in flashback scenes.
We’ve already seen Superman in the series, but only in blurred-out glimpses. According to the report, the show is seeking a 13-year-old actor with “future leading man looks” to play the potentially recurring role of Kal-El, aka the future MoS.
It’s said the 13-year-old Clark Kent will first appear in this season’s 13th episode “via a string of flashbacks that will establish the cherished bond between him and Kara.”
“Supergirl” airs Mondays on CBS.

Girls now have their very own Super Hero world, DC Super Hero Girls, where they can play, watch, read and be inspired to discover their full super power potential alongside legendary DC Comics female Super Heroes, including Wonder Woman, Supergirl and Batgirl, in this all-new universe that was created just for them.
DC Entertainment and Warner Bros. Consumer Products, in partnership with Mattel, announced today the activation of many elements to this highly anticipated initiative, including the rollout of the new DCSuperHeroGirls.com website, which kicks off with the U.S. launch today. A global rollout of the digitally immersive world will begin later this month.
Website, Video and More…
The new DCSuperHeroGirls.com site today debuts the first webisode, of a series of animated digital shorts, titled “Welcome to Super Hero High” that was created by the award-winning Warner Bros. Animation Studio, in partnership with Mattel’s Playground Productions. Today’s launch features a pantheon of DC Comics characters that have been brought to life in a completely new artistic style and aesthetic, through immersive videos, games, quizzes, character photos, bios and more.
In the coming weeks and months the new website will be regularly updated with new animated digital content and previews of upcoming products slated for 2016. In conjunction with the website launch, DC Super Hero Girls will have a dedicated presence across a number of social media platforms, including exclusive DC Super Hero Girls YouTube, Facebook and Instagram accounts, to cater to social media savvy girls and their parents.
“DC Entertainment has a deep and rich roster of strong female characters – both heroes and villains – that have inspired and empowered girls and young women for decades. From the iconic Wonder Woman and Supergirl, to the complex but compelling Harley Quinn and Catwoman, there is a character to whom every girl can relate, no matter what stage of life in which she currently finds herself,” said Diane Nelson, President of DC Entertainment and President and Chief Content Officer of Warner Bros.
