Flash Movie To Be Different & More Standalone

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:20621:]]

We get an update on the DC Flash movie from writer/director Phil Lord who confirms he is working on the film while appearing on The Hippojuice Podcast.

Lord, known for the Jump Street movies and The LEGO movie. is asked about The Flash where he notes there is some pressure due to TV series being so popular (via Slash Film).

We’re trying to break a story. It’s interesting, because there’s a really popular TV show out there, and we’re trying to carve out space for the movie that’s apart from that. I think we’re doing alright.

As the TV series does feature Grant Gustin as Barry Allen, Phil Lord is asked if they are using the same character for The Flash movie, with Lord confirming Ezra Miller will be Barry Allen.

I believe [our Flash] is going to be Barry Allen. 

Phil Lord continues with mention The Flash movie will be separate from the TV series, and actually offers it will be a stand-alone movie, which may suggest not directly connected to the Justice League movie or Batman Vs. Superman (interestingly enough, Dwayne Johnson said the same about Shazam).

It’s going to be it’s own [thing, apart from the TV show] — we’re more trying to stick with the cinematic universe… it really is its own thing, and kind of a stand-alone movie. We’re just trying to think of the best story. I think you guys will like it, it’s kind of a different take on superhero stuff. I’m consciously optimistic.

Phil Lord is also behind a number of other projects including the Sony animated Spider-Man film, with Lord offering they are trying to do the same with Spidey as they are with The Flash.

We’re sort of juggling superheroes with the color red in them, that’s all we do [laughter]. We’re trying not to confuse their powers or anything, but it does get tricky. But yeah it’s the same thing. Is there a way to do one of these movies in a new way? That’s the exciting thing about it being animated, is it just opens up a lot of different possibilities.

Usually Chris and I like to carve out spaces where people will let us do what we want. So much of our careers are like “oh, no one will bother us while we try to make a 21 Jump Street movie, because it’s such a crazy idea, no one’s going to know what to do with it.” So we’re doing these things kind of like that. They’re part of these huge franchises, but kind of are off a little bit off to the side, and that gives us a lot of creative freedom, and that’s the thing we love. Hopefully we won’t waste that.

The Flash movie hits in 2018; check out Lord’s comments below around the 5:10 mark.

Supergirl Not Crossing Over With Flash & Arrow Just Yet


Supergirl Trailer
 

While Supergirl shares the same creators as Arrow and The Flash, it’s learned CBS doesn’t want to share, at least not just yet.

Grant Gustin as The Flash and Melissa Benoist as Supergirl both grace the cover to the latest issue of Variety magazine.

The website offers that no immediate crossovers are being planned.

“The network has said publicly at this point they’re going to keep her to themselves,” says Berlanti. “I always approach the shows as a fan first, so I would love to see (a crossover). I think in success, all things are possible. But there’s a lot that would have to happen before everybody might say yes to that.”

While Supergirl may not crossover, fans will still get their full as Arrow and The Flash will feature crossover events, which includes the new spinoff DC’s Legends Of Tomorrow.

“We do have crossovers planned,” says DC chief content officer Geoff Johns. “The point of building these three shows out on the CW network is we can make a comicbook world. That’s really the secret formula starting to emerge on television for the first time.”

“Supergirl” premiers in November on CBS.

Spoiler & Spoiler Teased For The Flash & Legends Of Tomorrow

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:20577:]]

It’s going to be difficult to keep spoilers away from The Flash and Legends Of Tomorrow as not only are apparent set pics leaking, but the actors are revealing key details themselves.

That said, we’ll try to keep the specifics away from the headlines until they are officially released by DC or the CW.

Spoilers follow.

Yesterday saw a spoiler-filled image featuring Jay Garrick’s helmet, which was said to be a part of The Flash season finale. Now, if it’s legit, it’s looking likely the image is actually from the set of DC’s Legends Of Tomorrow. An updated pic from a Russian website has surfaced revealing the scene:

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:20576:]]

The next spoiler comes from actress Danielle Panabaker, who participated in a Reddit Q&A, and let it be known she will become Killer Frost, and that the costume is all ready.

I have read a little about Killer Frost in the comic books. Our producers and writers have a history of honoring the comic books, but also putting their own spin on things, so I’m excited to see what they come up with for the show

Watch the season finale on Tuesday!

yes – from the beginning I knew that Caitlin Snow becomes Killer Frost. And I can’t wait to suit up and duke it out with the boys!

Yes. They have made a Killer Frost costume.

Panabaker also seemingly confirms Jay Garrick.

I’m excited about the potential of Jay Garrick. I’m terrible with pick up lines though

Flash, Arrow & Legends Of Tomorrow To Have Event Crossovers Every Season

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:20555:]]

In a rather no-brainer for the CW, it’s been announced The Flash and Arrow will have annual crossovers as well as interacting with the new spinoff DC’s Legends Of Tomorrow.

Following the success of the two-part crossover “Flash Vs. Arrow” and “Brave and the Bold,” CW president Mark Pedowitz stated during the network’s Upfront presentation that the shows will continue to crossover every year.

“The crossover was so successful, we will be making it a special event in fourth quarter every year,” Pedowitz said, reports St. Louis’ KPLR 11 News.

Pedowitz also added the main event crossover won’t be the only one that fans will see as there will be “mini-crossovers” with characters from Arrow, The Flash and DC’s Legends Of Tomorrow appearing on the different shows.

DC’s Legends of Tomorrow is part of the Flash/Arrow universe,” Pedowitz offered. “Characters will criss-cross as needed and we’ll have big crossovers, as we can acquire them, at the right time.”

The Flash returns with Season 2 in the Fall along with Arrow Season 4; DC’s Legends Of Tomorrow will premiere mid-season in 2016.

Possible Surprise Spoiler In Flash Season Finale

Possible spoiler for the season finale of The Flash follows.

We’ll post it after the Buried Alien.

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:20554:]]

Last episode saw Green Lantern referenced and now another fan-favorite character apparently gets referenced in The Flash season finale.

None other than Jay Garrick!

A spoiler Easter Egg pic apparently from what looks to be a Russian website landed online of a scene from The Flash Season finale featuring Wells in his time chair where Jay Garrick’s Flash helmet can be seen on the floor.

Obviously as the episode hasn’t aired yet, it’s hard to authenticate its authenticity.

Check it out (via reddit).

Update: It’s likely the image is actually from the set of DC’s Legends of Tomorrow.

Update #2: Danielle Panabaker seemingly confirms Jay Garrick.

But when Jane was accidentally artificially inseminated (!) her life became as dramatic and outrageous as the telenovelas she grew up watching. Adding to the drama, the donor is reformed playboy Rafael Solano (Justin Baldoni), the owner of the hotel where Jane works, and her teenage crush.  Although Jane is engaged to her long-time love, Michael (Brett Dier), a detective with the Miami Police Department, and Rafael is married to the scheming Petra (Yael Grobglas), she and Rafael are drawn closer by the pregnancy and begin to fall for each other. The tension proves too much for Jane and Michael, and they call off their engagement… and Jane and Rafael begin seeing each other.  But happily ever after is interrupted by murder and mayhem, by scheming exes and maniacal criminal masterminds. Oh, and then there’s the fact that Jane learns her long lost father is Rogelio De La Vega (Jaime Camill), her favorite telenovela star!  And now he’s back in her life… with a vengeance.  But amidst all the crazy, there are the Villaneuva women – Jane, her mother Xiomara (Andrea Navedo), and her grandmother, Alba, who band together to support each other always, no matter the twists and turns thrown their way.  And ultimately, Jane gives birth and a new Villanueva enters the world.  And believe it or not… the drama is just getting started.

TUESDAY

8:00-9:00 P.M. “THE FLASH”

Until recently, 25-year-old Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) lived a normal life as a perpetually tardy C.S.I. in the Central City Police department.  Barry is secretly in love with his best friend, Iris West (Candice Patton), daughter of Barry’s surrogate father, Detective Joe West (Jesse L. Martin).  Joe adopted Barry fourteen years ago after Barry’s mother was murdered and Barry’s father, Henry Allen, received a life sentence for the crime – though Barry maintains that a mysterious “Man in Yellow” was responsible.  Nine months ago, the S.T.A.R. Labs Particle Accelerator exploded, creating a dark matter lightning storm that struck Barry – bestowing him with super-speed and making him the fastest man alive.  But Barry wasn’t the only person who was given extraordinary abilities that night.  The dark matter also created meta-humans, many of whom have wreaked havoc on the city.  With the help of his new scientist friends at S.T.A.R Labs, Caitlin Snow (Danielle Panabaker), Cisco Ramon (Carlos Valdes), and Dr. Harrison Wells (Tom Cavanaugh), Barry begins a journey as The Flash to protect the people of Central City from these powerful new threats.  However, Barry’s mission gets sidetracked when he comes face to face with the Man in Yellow.  Barry isn’t fast enough to catch him but in a shocking revelation the team figures out their beloved mentor, Harrison Wells, is in fact the Man in Yellow and the man responsible for killing Barry’s mother.  Harrison Wells reveals his true identity as Eobard Thawne, a man from the future who traveled back in time to kill Barry.  When

Barry is finally forced to confront Wells, will he be fast enough to catch him?  Or will Wells be successful in killing Barry and returning home to the future? Based on the characters from DC Comics, THE FLASH is from by Bonanza Productions Inc. in association with Berlanti Productions and Warner Bros.

9:00-10:00 P.M. “IZOMBIE”

Throughout the riveting first season of iZombie, television’s only zom-dram-rom-com, Liv Moore (Rose McIver) learned to embrace her undead life and use her zombie powers for good. As an intrepid, zombified medical examiner, Liv ate the brains of the morgue cadavers and, under the guise of being a psychic, used her visions to assist Detective Clive Babinaux (Malcolm Goodwin) in solving murder cases. While Liv’s boss and sole confidante, Dr. Ravi Chakrabarti (Rahul Kohli), worked on a cure for her unthinkable condition, Liv battled the evil, zombie-making, brain-dealing Blaine (David Anders) and struggled to protect her loved ones and all of Seattle from a potential zombie apocalypse. Standing directly and unwittingly in the path of the oncoming zombie train is Liv’s ex-fiancee Major Lilywhite (Robert Buckley), whose life spiraled out of control when he began investigating forces beyond his understanding. In our final episodes of the debut season, those closest to Liv are thrust into mortal danger and Liv will be forced to make the ultimate sacrifice to save them. There will be heartbreaking consequences and as the dust settles we’ll see that nothing in Liv’s partially dead life will ever be the same. In season two, Liv will face new and even more powerful enemies and old enemies in surprising new forms.  Unlikely alliances will be struck, relationships will be challenged, and the line between good and evil will blur for both zombies and the fully living.

After a violent shipwreck, billionaire playboy Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell) was missing and presumed dead for five years before being discovered alive on a remote island in the Pacific.  He returned home to Starling City, bent on righting the wrongs of his family and fighting injustice.  To do this, he created the persona of the Arrow and allied himself with former military man John Diggle (David Ramsey), computer-science expert Felicity Smoak (Emily Bett Rickards), billionaire inventor Ray Palmer (Brandon Routh), lawyer-turned-vigilante Laurel Lance (Katie Cassidy), and his sister Thea (Willa Holland). Uneasy alliances and rivalries will shift as Oliver faces his most difficult challenge yet.  Based on the characters from DC Comics, ARROW is from Bonanza Productions Inc. in association with Berlanti Productions and Warner Bros.

9:00-10:00 P.M. “SUPERNATURAL”

The thrilling and terrifying journey of the Winchester brothers continues as SUPERNATURAL enters its eleventh season.  Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) have spent their lives on the road, battling every kind of supernatural threat.  Over the years, after countless bloody adventures, they have faced everything from the yellow-eyed demon that killed their mother to vampires, ghosts, shapeshifters, angels and fallen gods.  With the help of allies — both human and supernatural — they’ve discovered that every victory comes with a price. In the show’s tenth season, the Winchester brothers faced their most personal threat yet. The all-powerful Mark of Cain threatened to consume Dean, turning him into one of the monsters he has spent his life hunting. Meanwhile, a formidable witch, Rowena (Ruth Connell), rose to power to claim her position at the right hand of the King of Hell, Crowley (Mark Sheppard). Once Rowena revealed herself to be Crowley’s mother, the King was forced to choose between his family and the Winchesters. All while Sam, with the help of Castiel (Misha Collins), Crowley, and some unlikely allies, wages a desperate battle to save Dean from the Mark of Cain. Will Sam be able to find a cure for the Mark in time? Will it be enough to save his brother? And a more frightening prospect – does Dean want to be saved? SUPERNATURAL is produced by Wonderland Sound and Vision in association with Warner Bros. Television, with executive producers Jeremy Carver (“Being Human”), Robert Singer (“Midnight Caller”) and Phil Sgriccia. Eric Kripke created the series and serves as executive consultant, along with McG.

 

THURSDAY

8:00-9:00 P.M. “THE VAMPIRE DIARIES”

Season six of THE VAMPIRE DIARIES began with our heroes mourning the devastating loss of Damon (Ian Somerhalder) and Bonnie (Kat Graham), who turned out to be trapped in a 1994 prison world by a sociopathic magic-siphon named Kai Parker (guest star Chris Wood).  Unable to cope with the loss of her love, Elena (Nina Dobrev) compelled away all of her memories of loving Damon, which meant that when he finally returned to Mystic Falls, he had to win her over again.  Meanwhile, Caroline (Candice Accola) had to come to terms with her feelings for Stefan (Paul Wesley) in light of her mother’s heartbreaking battle with cancer.  That battle ultimately proved fatal, sending both Caroline and Stefan down a dangerous path as humanity-free vampires.  Bonnie returned from the prison world with a surprise for Damon, the cure for vampirism, which he ultimately chose to give to Elena.  Damon and Stefan came face-to-face with their mother Lily (guest star Annie Wersching), who they long since believed to be dead. As the season built to a wedding between Alaric (Matt Davis) and Jo (guest star Jodi Lyn O’Keefe), Damon used the ceremony to profess his dedication to Elena, but not without a catastrophic event that left lives hanging in the balance.  In the wake of Elena Gilbert’s goodbye, in season seven, some characters will recover while others falter.  As Lily tries to drive a wedge between the Salvatore brothers, we’ll still hold onto hope that Stefan and Caroline’s love story is strong enough to survive.  Based on the series of books by L. J. Smith, THE VAMPIRE DIARIES is from Bonanza Productions Inc. in association with Outerbanks Entertainment, Alloy Entertainment, Warner Bros. Television and CBS Television Studios.  The series was developed by Kevin Williamson (“The Following,” “Scream”) & Julie Plec (“The Originals,” “Kyle XY,” “Wasteland”), who serve as executive producers along with Leslie Morgenstein (“Gossip Girl,” “Pretty Little Liars”) and Caroline Dries (“Melrose Place,” “Smallville”).

 

9:00-10:00 P.M. “THE ORIGINALS”

The Mikaelson family tragedies and triumphs continue as THE ORIGINALS enters its third season. The Original vampire-werewolf hybrid Klaus Mikaelson (Joseph Morgan) and his brother Elijah (Daniel Gillies) have spent one thousand years fighting to protect their dysfunctional family, but now that Klaus and the hybrid Hayley (Phoebe Tonkin) share an infant daughter, Hope, the stakes are higher than ever.  In the second season, Klaus and Elijah united against their resurrected mother, Esther, who tortured them with demons from their pasts in an effort to persuade them to surrender their vampire bodies and become mortal.  Esther, however, was only the harbinger, as Klaus learned that a long-standing curse had marked Hope for a life of isolation and terror at the hands of Esther’s sister, the witch Dahlia, whose defeat came at great cost to the family.  Season 3 finds Klaus and Elijah estranged from each other, even as both brothers adjust to life with their long-lost sister, Freya (Riley Voelkel).  Hayley suffers mightily at the hands of Klaus’s petty vengeance, while Marcel (Charles Michael Davis) and Davina (Danielle Campbell) rule the city under a new status quo.  Meanwhile, Cami (Leah Pipes) and Vincent (Yusuf Gatewood) find themselves caught up in a surprising mystery involving the newest resident of New Orleans — the first vampire ever sired by the Mikaelsons a thousand years ago. THE ORIGINALS is from Bonanza Productions Inc. in association with My So-Called Company, Alloy Entertainment, Warner Bros. Television and CBS Television Studios.  Julie Plec (“The Vampire Diaries,” “Kyle XY,” “Wasteland”), Michael Narducci (“The Vampire Diaries,” “The 4400,” “Medium”), Diane Ademu-John (“Body of Proof,” “Medium”) and Leslie Morgenstein (“The Vampire Diaries,” “Gossip Girl”) are executive producers.

 

FRIDAY

8:00-9:00 P.M. “REIGN”

The second season of REIGN begins with marriages and allegiances torn asunder, as well as the rise of enemies and political unrest.  Mary, Queen of Scots (Adelaide Kane), and her husband the King of France, Francis (Toby Regbo) lived through the birth of the King’s, but not the Queen’s, son, the plague, and a nation divided.  Catherine de Medici (Megan Follows), realizing her limited power now that her daughter-in-law wears her crown, made a bold move to align herself with Mary’s ultimate enemy, Queen Elizabeth (Rachel Skarsten) of England.  Bash (Torrance Coombs), wounded from his failed marriage with Kenna (Caitlin Stasey), sought refuge with an ethereal woman with mysterious powers, while Greer (Celina Sinden) was ousted from favor and took up a surprising occupation, where she flourished.   REIGN begins its third season with Mary and Francis realizing that they are more powerful together than apart, believing there is hope for them to move forward, leaving behind the anger and hurt.  It also introduces us to another Court, that of Elizabeth, “Virgin” Queen of England.   Still early in her reign, Elizabeth faces opposition on all sides, particularly from men who doubt a woman’s ability to rule.  Like Mary, and Catherine de Medici, she struggles to hold onto power, and love; the women have much in common, and Mary and Elizabeth are reluctant foes, but foes nonetheless, each positioned by birth and fate to destroy all the other holds dear. REIGN is produced by CBS Television Studios and Whizbang Films/Take 5 Productions with executive producers Laurie McCarthy (“The Ghost Whisperer”), Frank Siracusa (“Beauty And The Beast”), John Weber (“Beauty And The Beast”), Brad Silberling (“Moonlight Mile”), Gretchen Berg, and Aaron Harberts.  

 

9:00-10:00 P.M.  “AMERICA’S NEXT TOP MODEL”

AMERICA’S NEXT TOP MODEL returns with an all-new cycle of guys and girls competing for the TOP MODEL title on Wednesday, August 5 (8:00-9:00 p.m. ET), and the series will move to Fridays in the Fall.  AMERICA’S NEXT TOP MODEL is produced by 10 by 10 Entertainment in association with The Tyra Banks Company.  The executive producers are Ken Mok (“Making the Band”), Tyra Banks, Dana Gabrion, and Laura Fuest Silva.

Currently, “America’s Next Top Model” is under license in over 100 markets around the world and has 20 international versions in production.  ”America’s Next Top Model” and the “America’s Next Top Model” format are licensed internationally by CBS Studios International.

“CONTAINMENT”

When a mysterious and deadly epidemic breaks out in Atlanta, a vast urban quarantine is quickly enforced, forcing those stuck on the inside to fight for their lives while local and federal officials desperately search for a cure. Trying to keep the peace on the streets is police officer Lex Carnahan, who has quickly risen through the ranks of the Atlanta PD.  But Lex’s job becomes even harder when he learns that his longtime girlfriend, Jana, and his best friend and fellow officer Jake, are trapped within the cordoned area.  Also quarantined in viral ground zero is 17 year-old Teresa, who is eight months pregnant and now separated from her boyfriend on the other side; Katie Frank, an elementary school teacher now placed on lockdown with her entire class, including her young son; and CDC researcher Dr. Victor Cannerts, the doctor who initially made the controversial call to quarantine the area and is now racing to find a cure for the virus.  On the outside, Dr. Sabine Lommers is leading the government efforts to contain the outbreak, and has asked for Lex’s help in enforcing the cordon – which grows increasingly difficult as the public trust deteriorates. And the public has reason to be wary, as journalist Leo begins unraveling a conspiracy, finding that something doesn’t add up in the official story being told. Torn apart from their loved ones, the survivors trapped within the cordon are fighting against not only fatal infection, but also isolation, fear, and the disintegration of society around them. But as they begin to gain each other’s trust, hope remains, and on either side of the cordon unlikely heroes will rise. CONTAINMENT stars David Gyasi (“Interstellar”); Christina Moses (“Starship: Apocalypse,” “Starship: Rising”); Chris Wood (“The Vampire Diaries”); Kristen Gutoskie (“Beaver Falls”); Claudia Black (“The Originals,” “Farscape”); George Young (“Casualty”); Hanna Mangan Lawrence (“Spartacus: War of the Damned”); and Trevor St. John (“One Life to Live”).  Based on the original Belgian series created by Carl Joos for Eyeworks, CONTAINMENT is produced by My So-Called Company in association with Warner Bros. Television, with executive producers Julie Plec (“The Vampire Diaries,” “The Originals”) and David Nutter (“The Flash,” “Arrow”).

“THE 100”

For two seasons, the refugees of The 100 sent to Earth have been at war. First with themselves, then with the Grounders, and finally with Mount Weather. Many have lost their lives along the way. All have lost their innocence. They have learned the hard way that in the fight for survival, there are no heroes and no villains. There is only the living and the dead. But now the war is over. The battle against Mount Weather has been won. The prisoners have returned home to a world seemingly at peace, but can they find peace within themselves after what they had to do to escape? And is there more to life than just surviving? Unfortunately, their newfound sense of normalcy will be short-lived, and their lives will be changed forever, as threats both old and new test their loyalties, push them past their limits, and make them question what it truly means to be human. First, they fought to survive. Then, they fought for their friends. Now, they will fight for the human race. Based on the book series by Kass Morgan, THE 100 is from Bonanza Productions Inc. in association with Alloy Entertainment, Warner Bros. Television and CBS Television Studios, with executive producers Jason Rothenberg and Leslie Morgenstein (“The Vampire Diaries”).

Agents Of SHIELD Season 2 Finale Scores Ratings Low

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:20529:]]

While it’s been said the planned Agents Of SHIELD spinoff was cancelled due to not wanting popular characters moved off the show, the real story might be as simple as the ratings.

Last night’s two-hour Season 2 finale of Marvel’s Agents Of SHIELD saw a ratings low for the series.

The season two finale came in at a 1.3 rating, which is down 13 percent from last week’s 1.5 adults 18-49 rating, with 4 million viewers.

By comparison, The Flash continued to see strong numbers for the less-watched CW network with a 1.4.

iZombie even saw a 17 precent jump for the CW compared to the previous week (0.7 rating).

The season two finale for Agents Of SHIELD was also down by about 30% compared to last year’s season finale.

Worth a mention is that Agents Of SHIELD has a heavy DVR playback; however, it’s unknown how that affects advertising (and how that affects the show) as obviously people skip over the ads.

No worries, though, as ABC has renewed Agents Of SHIELD for Season 3 as well as Agent Carter for Season 2.

Watch: Comparing The Voices Of Grodd

With Grodd recently appearing on The Flash, check out a compilation of Grodd voices from the various animated series and games.

I’ve always favored the Super Friends version performed by Stanley Ralph Ross.

David Sobolov voiced Grodd for The Flash series (“Fallout,” “Grodd Lives”) and is voicing Drax for the Guardians of the Galaxy animated series as well.

In a neat Easter Egg,  if you watched the “Grodd Lives” episode, Clancy Brown voiced Grodd for Robot Chicken

The Arrow / Flash Spinoff Premiers In January

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:20338:]]

In an interview with Victor Garber, it’s learned the planned Arrow and Flash spinoff superhero team series, speculated to be titled “The Legends Of Tomorrow,” will premiere January 2016.

Garber, who plays one half of Firestorm as Dr. Stein, let the details fly in an interview with BroadwayWorld.com.

Yeah, I think it’s going to be a very fun ride. I really honestly can’t tell you much about it except it is completely new and it will involve a lot of interesting people. No. We haven’t filmed any of it yet – but, it is going straight to series. We start filming in August and it will be on in January. Yes, it will be on the CW.

In addition to Garber, the spinoff is set to star Brandon Routh as Atom, Wentworth Miller as Captain Cold, Dominic Cooper as Heat Wave, Ciara Renee as Hawkgirl, Arthur Darvill as Rip Hunter, with Caity Lotz and Frank Drameh in to-be-announced roles.

Garber offered the following about his fellow cast members.

Yes, it’s so many interesting people involved with it – Ciara and Arthur Darvill and Wentworth Millerand Dominic Purcell and Brandon Routh and Caity Loz. I am very much looking forward to working with all of them on it. They are all really great people.

The inklings of “The Legends Of Tomorrow” have already started with the last episode of The Flash. The newspaper clip from the future mentioned Hawkgirl, and this spoiler pic has landed online.

Update: It’s also reported a 3-minute teaser will be released May 14th at the CW’s Upfronts presentation.
