Court of Owls Teased For Gotham Season 3

Ahead of next week’s Comic-Con, check out the Court of Owls teaser poster for Gotham Season 3.

It was revealed last Season that Hugo Strange was working with the clandestine group.

“We will dive much more deeply into them in Season 3,” executive producer John Stephens previously told Zap2it. “The Court of Owls, this sort of illuminati group that’s been pulling the strings behind Gotham for centuries and might be the real culprits in the murder of Thomas and Martha Wayne, among other things.”

In the comics, the Court of Owls has existed for centuries and would recruit assassins through Haly’s circus, of which Dick Grayson was a part of, but Batman adopted the young Grayson prior to Dick being chosen as a Talon (assassin). 

Gotham Season 3 returns Monday, September 19th on FOX.

The Flash Season 3 Set Image Reveals New Speedsters & Villain

Following the first look image of Kid Flash, now a set image from The Flash Season 3 features Keiynan Lonsdale as Wally West in costume as well as the reveal of a potential villain.

A set image features Kid Flash side by side what may be Black Racer from the DC Comics, with a second image featuring Grant Gustin as Barry Allen.

Black Racer, in the comics, is the grim reaper of the DC Comics and the bringer of death. It’s basically his job to collect souls from the dead.

Grant Gustin did tweet out that the main villain of The Flash Season 3 isn’t a metahuman, so technically Black Racer fits the bill.

We did see Black Racer (Black Flash) potentially in the Season 2 finale when Teddy Sears’ Zoom was killed off.

With Barry going back in time and messing with the timeline (Flashpoint), it’s possible the Black Racer could show up to take out all the Speedsters — including Barry and Wally (as they are not supposed to exist in the new timeline).

We may find out more next week as The Flash will be featured at Comic-Con.

Regarding whether or not Zoom plays a role in The Flash Season 3, Tom Cavanagh seemingly teased the character might play some part.

The Flash Season 3 returns Tuesday, October 4th at 8pm ET on The CW.

New X-Men TV Series Headed To Fox With Bryan Singer Attached

A new X-Men TV series is headed to FOX.

Variety reports the untitled X-Men series will be executive produced by Bryan Singer focusing “on two ordinary parents who discover their children possess mutant powers. Forced to go on the run from a hostile government, the family joins up with an underground network of mutants and must fight to survive.”

The new X-Men series, Marvel and Fox’s first, is being written by Burn Notice‘s Matt Nix who will also serve as executive producer in addition to Lauren Shuler Donner, Simon Kinberg, Marvel’s Jeph Loeb and Jim Chory.

The project has received a put-pilot commitment from Fox, which means if Fox doesn’t air the pilot episode, they’ll pay a hefty monetary penalty to Marvel (so it’s a safe bet the series is a definite go).

“Developing a Marvel property has been a top priority for the network — and we are so pleased with how Matt Nix has led us into this thrilling universe,” said David Madden, president, entertainment, Fox Broadcasting Company. “There’s comic book adventure, emotional and complicated relationships and a rich, existing mythology from which to draw. With the brilliant production crew behind this project, it has all the makings of a big, fun and exciting new series.”

“Working with Marvel on a television series for Fox has been a professional dream for our head of development, Michael Thorn, and all of us at the studio,” commented Jonathan Davis, president, creative affairs, 20th Century Fox Television. “Matt, Lauren, Bryan, Simon, Jeph and Jim are a powerhouse team of creative artists, and we can’t wait to get started on what will easily be one of this development season’s most exciting new projects.”

“Marvel Television is thrilled to be co-producing with 20th Century Fox Television on our first project,” Jeph Loeb said. “Matt’s a huge fan of ‘X-Men’ and his take on ‘X-Men,’ with its rich characters and high-stakes adventure, is exactly the show we want on Fox. It’s a great team of creative producers who will be making something entirely unique.”

The report also mentions the planned Hellfire TV series has been cancelled.

Legion is also set to debut on FX.

Kevin Smith Directing The Flash Season 3 Episode 7; Wants Arrow, Supergirl & Legends

Following Kevin Smith’s exellent episode of The Flash Season 2, it’s learned Smith will now be directing episode #7 of Season 3.

Den of Geek caught up with Kevin Smith who confirmed the news as well as stated he is still waiting on a call from Arrow.

“I know I’m going back to The Flash, first week of September, to direct episode 7 of season 3,” Smith said. “Still haven’t heard anything back from Arrow.”

Regarding Arrow, Kevin Smith says he wants to bring in his DC Comics character Onomatopoeia into the series.

“You know, I wish, it would be amazing because I would love to write and direct Onomatopoeia in the show,” Smith said. “Um, but I know they’re doing – what is it? – Wild Dog this year, as well as Vigilante, so maybe they’re just like ‘we don’t need you’, or whatever. But, at the moment, anyone over there raises a flag; I’m like ‘please, let me in!’ That’d be fun as fuck.” 

Smith created Onomatopoeia back in Green Arrow #12. The character targets and kills heroes and has set his sights on the Arrow family in the comics.

Smith notes if he can’t get Arrow, he would like to do DC’s Legends Of Tomorrow or Supergirl.

“…even if they don’t, maybe I could do it on Flash, or Legends Of Tomorrow, or now Supergirl as well. There’s a couple of shows there,” Smith said.

“SUPERGIRL” SEASON ONE TO TAKE OVER THE CW’S MONDAY NIGHTS STARTING AUGUST 1

Two Encore Episodes of “Supergirl” Will Air Each Monday Night

Until The New Season of “Supergirl” Premieres on October 10

 

July 6, 2016 (Burbank, CA) – The CW Network announced today it will broadcast the entire first season of SUPERGIRL on Monday nights starting August 1, with two episodes each week until the new season of SUPERGIRL premieres on October 10 (8:00-9:00pm ET/PT).

SUPERGIRL is an action-adventure drama based on the DC character Kara Zor-El, Superman’s (Kal-El) cousin who, after 12 years of keeping her powers a secret on Earth, decides to finally embrace her superhuman abilities and be the hero she was always meant to be. Twelve-year-old Kara escaped the doomed planet Krypton with her parents’ help at the same time as the infant Kal-El. Protected and raised on Earth by her foster family, the Danvers, Kara grew up in the shadow of her foster sister, Alex, and learned to conceal the phenomenal powers she shares with her famous cousin in order to keep her identity a secret. Years later at 24, Kara lives in National City assisting media mogul and fierce taskmaster Cat Grant. She works alongside her friend and IT technician Winn Schott and famous photographer James Olsen, who Grant just hired away from the Daily Planet to serve as her new art director. However, Kara’s days of keeping her talents a secret are over when Hank Henshaw, head of a super-secret agency where her sister also works, enlists her to help them protect the citizens of National City from sinister threats. Though Kara will need to find a way to manage her newfound empowerment with her very human relationships, her heart soars as she takes to the skies as Supergirl to fight crime.

Based on characters created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, SUPERGIRL is from Berlanti Productions in association with Warner Bros. Television, with executive producers Greg Berlanti (“The Flash,” “Arrow”), Ali Adler (“The New Normal,” “Glee”), Andrew Kreisberg (“The Flash,” “Arrow”) and Sarah Schechter (“Arrow,” “The Flash”).
