Watch: Star Wars Rebels Princess Leia Clip

Princess Leia is coming to Star Wars Rebels.

Check out a clip above featuring her arrival, with Princess Leia being voiced by Julie Dolan.

In this clip from the Star Wars Rebels episode “A Princess on Lothal,” Kanan and Ezra don stormtrooper armor to welcome a new ally: Princess Leia.

Watch “A Princess on Lothal” on January 20, 9:00 p.m. ET/PT on Disney XD!

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:23782:]]

The Ghost crew is back, and they’re bringing Star Wars royalty with them.

Star Wars Rebels returns with “A Princess on Lothal,” a brand new episode featuring Princess Leia, on January 20 at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT on Disney XD. Set three years before the events of A New Hope, Leia is introduced as a young leader on her way to becoming the strong, more resolute character portrayed in the original trilogy.

“One of the complex challenges of depicting Leia in Rebels is that we have to remind the audience that she is part of the Empire at this point,” says executive producer / supervising director Dave Filoni. “She doesn’t believe in the Empire, but she is acting the part, almost as a double agent. The Empire sees her as a privileged princess who runs mercy missions to wayward worlds, but in truth she is much stronger and more dangerous than they imagine.” 

Appearing in her only episode of the season, the young Princess Leia is voiced by Julie Dolan, who also lent her vocal talents to the Rebel leader featured in Disney’s Star Tours attraction. Her character’s appearance in Star Wars Rebels portrays the beginnings of the seasoned general we meet again in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, her royal heritage all but eclipsed by her hard-won military stature.

“There really is no other character quite like her,” says Filoni. “And to quote The Force Awakens’ Lor San Tekka, ‘She’ll always be royalty to me.’”

Gorilla Grodd Planned Long-Term For The Flash

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:23744:]]

Last we saw of Grodd in The Flash he was off to Gorilla City, and while that’s the last we’ll see of the mind-controlling gorilla this Season, it’s learned more is to come.

The Flash Executive producer Andrew Kreisberg offered they are building up Grodd much like they did with the Arrow villain, Ra’s Al Ghul, which may mean Grodd as potential main bad guy in Season 3 or later down the road.

“I would liken the Gorilla City thing to Ra’s al Ghul. You know, you hear about “the man from nanda part” in [Arrow] Season 1, and “the man who showed Malcolm the way,” and then you met Nyssa, then in Season 3 you met Ra’s. So, it’s a long-term thing.”

Mark Hamill & Kevin Conroy Tease Batman: The Killing Joke Animated Movie

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:23743:]]

This Summer’s San Diego Comic-Con will see the premiere of the Batman: The Killing Joke animated movie, which will feature veteran voice actor Kevin Conroy back as the Caped Crusader along with Mark Hamill reprising as The Joker.

The duo recently took to Twitter to post an image of themselves.

“I finally caught my favorite villain! Bats nabs Joker,” Conroy posted on Twitter.

Bruce Timm is behind the project and also recently revealed the Batman: The Killing Joke animated movie will feature original footage not a part of the comic.

“The source material is not long enough to make a feature film out of,” Bruce Timm offered. “So we actually had to add a lot more story to it, which is tricky, but I think we came up with a really good solution on how that worked.”

The graphic novel is described by Amazon as:

According to the grinning engine of madness and mayhem known as The Joker, that’s all that separates the sane from the psychotic. Freed once again from the confines of Arkham Asylum, he’s out to prove his deranged point. And he¿s going to use Gotham City’s top cop, Commissioner Jim Gordon, and his brilliant and beautiful daughter Barbara to do it.

Now Batman must race to stop his archnemesis before his reign of terror claims two of the Dark Knight’s closest friends. Can he finally put an end to the cycle of bloodlust and lunacy that links these two iconic foes before it leads to its fatal conclusion? And as the horrifying origin of the Clown Prince of Crime is finally revealed, will the thin line that separates Batman’s nobility and The Joker’s insanity snap once and for all?

Kevin Smith Directing An Episode Of The Flash

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:23724:]]

Kevin Smith will be directing an episode of The Flash.

EW.com reports Smith will direct an episode of The Flash, which is due to air in May. The CW announced the news at the Television Critics Association’s press tour earlier today.

Kevin Smith, of course, is known to be a big comic book fan having written issues of Batman, Daredevil, and lots more. Smith also penned the defunct Superman Lives script and has his Comic Book Men series airing on AMC. Smith’s voice was recently featured in Star Wars: The Force Awakens and is regularly involved with promoting Batman Vs. Superman and Suicide Squad.

Update: Executive producer Andrew Kreisberg also offered the following about having Kevin Smith direct an episode (via Collider):

“I literally got a phone call from his agent saying that Kevin Smith’s favorite show is The Flash, and if was there an episode for him, and the answer was yes. It was really that simple. I didn’t know him personally, I’ve just been such a huge fan of his work.”

…But of course, there’s the whole publicity angle of it, as well:

“As responsible executive producers, we always have to look at that, but we would never look at that at the expense of our own show. Knowing what a fan he is, and knowing the scrutiny he’s going to be under, I know he’s going to bring it to his fullest, and I’m just so excited.”

“The Flash” returns Tuesday, January 19th on the CW at 8pm ET starring Grant Gustin, Candice Patton, Danielle Panabaker, Carlos Valdes, Tom Cavanagh and Jesse L. Martin.

No Crypt Keeper Rumored For Tales From The Crypt Reboot & More

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:23705:]]

Earlier saw news that TNT is rebooting Tales From The Crypt, which will have M. Night Shyamalan on board as executive producer.

Now a batch of rumors/details have hit the net from the horror site Bloody Disgusting, with the perhaps most shocking being the Crypt Keeper won’t be used.

The actor that voiced the Crypt Keeper, John Kassir, even tweeted out: “I’ll go on record, “Crypt Keeper as we know him is more popular than ever & it’d be a sham/shame not to have him host the show!!!!!” A petition to bring back the Crypt Keeper has since been launched.

As noted, it gets a lot worse:

• It’s said the new host of the show will be an old man with a cane, wearing a hood, and keeping warm by a fireplace (which admittedly, is in line with the old EC comics). 

• According to the report, the original plan (it’s unknown if things have since changed), is to have 13 episodes in the style of American Horror Story (one storyline per season).

• It’s further said the first season will be about voodoo in New Orleans (which American Horror Story already featured).

• It’s also said the Tales From The Crypt reboot won’t be a weekly anthology story, and won’t have anything to do with the comics.

• It’s scripted by the writers behing Hemlock Grove, in which the site describes as “awful.”

Fox has released a new promo for the DC Comics Vertigo series Lucifer as well as a batch of interesting character images.

The series premiers Monday, January 25th starring Tom Ellis, Lauren German, Rachael Harris, DB Woodside, Lesley-Ann Brandt, Kevin Alejandro, Scarlett Estevez.

Synopsis:

The Devil has come to Los Angeles… Based upon the characters created by Neil Gaiman, Sam Kieth and Mike Dringenberg for DC Entertainment’s Vertigo imprint, LUCIFER is the story of the original fallen angel. Bored and unhappy as the Lord of Hell, LUCIFER MORNINGSTAR (Tom Ellis, “Merlin”) has abandoned his throne and retired to L.A., where he owns Lux, an upscale nightclub. Charming, charismatic and devilishly handsome, Lucifer is enjoying his retirement, indulging in a few of his favorite things – wine, women and song – when a beautiful pop star is brutally murdered outside of Lux. For the first time in roughly 10 billion years, he feels something awaken deep within him as a result of this murder. Compassion? Sympathy? The very thought disturbs him – as well as his best friend and confidante, MAZIKEEN aka MAZE (Lesley-Ann Brandt, “The Librarians”), a fierce demon in the form of a beautiful young woman. The murder attracts the attention of LAPD homicide detective CHLOE DANCER (Lauren German, “Chicago Fire”), who initially is dismissive of Lucifer. But she becomes intrigued by his talent for drawing out people’s secrets and his desire to dispense justice, doling out punishment to those who deserve it. As they work together to solve the pop star’s murder, Lucifer is struck by Chloe’s inherent goodness. Accustomed to dealing with the absolute worst of humanity, Lucifer is intrigued by Chloe’s apparent purity and begins to wonder if there’s hope for his own soul yet. At the same time, God’s emissary, the angel AMENADIEL (DB Woodside, “Suits,” “24”), has been sent to Los Angeles to convince Lucifer to return to the underworld…can the Devil incarnate be tempted toward the side of Good, or will his original calling pull him back toward Evil?
