Fear The Walking Dead airs Sundays at 9pm ET on ABC.
Synopsis:
Fear The Walking Dead is described as a gritty drama living in the same universe as The Walking Dead that explores the onset of the undead apocalypse through the lens of a fractured family. Set in a city where people come to escape, shield secrets, and bury their pasts, a mysterious outbreak threatens to disrupt what little stability high school guidance counselor Madison Clark and English teacher Travis Manawa have managed to assemble. The everyday pressure of blending two families while dealing with resentful, escapist, and strung out children takes a back seat when society begins to break down. A forced evolution, a necessary survival of the fittest takes hold, and our dysfunctional family must either reinvent themselves or embrace their darker histories.
Guardians of the Galaxy premiers September 26th on Disney XD at 9:30pm ET starring the voice talents of Will Friedle as Star-Lord, Trevor Devall as Rocket Raccoon, Vanessa Marshall as Gamora, David Sobolov as Drax, Kevin Michael Richardson as Groot and James Arnold Taylor as both Yondu and Cosmo.
The Guardians of the Galaxy animated series follows the newly-formed team who finds a strange artifact keyed only to the DNA of Peter Quill. Upon opening it, Quill unleashes a treasure map leading to a powerful weapon known as the Cosmic Seed which is capable of giving birth to the next universe. It’s up to the Guardians to find, protect and ultimately destroy the Cosmic Seed in order to keep it out of the hands of those who would abuse its power, from galactic big boss Thanos, to the conniving brothers the Collector and the Grandmaster, to a resurrected Ronan, to the ultimate trickster, Loki, in order to save the universe.
Nathan Fillion, a one time fan-favorite choice to play Star-Lord for Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy, lets it be known he would be interested in playing Booster Gold for DC.
Fillion did cameo in Gunn’s Guardians of the Galaxy and is known for voicing Green Lantern in the DC animated universes.
A fan at Wizard World Chicago asked Fillion if he could play any character in either DC or Marvel, who would it be?
“I think I could take a pretty good crack at Booster Gold,” Fillion told the crowd, who were in attendance for a Firefly panel. “That’s kind of my niche – show-offy, vain. I think I could handle that – not too bright. I think Ambush Bug; little bit off his rocker. You never see my face. But I think Greatest American Hero is do for a reboot.”
Fillion then questioned Summer Glau about what she knows about super heroes, with Glau responding, “I like She-Ra.”
Fillion replied, “You are totally a princess of power.”
Adam Baldwin chimed in stating maybe he could play Green Lantern, with Fillion shaking his head no.
“I don’t know,” Baldwin smiled, and they all laughed with Fillion stating Green Lantern has already been taken.
Regarding Booster Gold, a while back there was talk about a SyFy series in development, but really nothing has been mentioned in a couple years.
Amell talked about a range of topics, which happened to include the Dark Knight potentially appearing in the Arrow universe as well as the possibility of Amell appearing in the DC Cinematic Universe.
Regarding Batman appearing on Arrow, Amell admitted it would be “tough,” but did state it’s possible.
“In the same way that [Ezra Miller’s] playing the Flash in the cinematic universe – theoretically, we haven’t seen him yet – I see no reason why we couldn’t have our own Bruce Wayne. That’s my opinion; that might not be DC’s opinion, and they’re the bosses.”
Amell has been a fan-favorite choice to play the Green Arrow in the DCCU as well, and the actor has not been silent about wanting to appear in the movie universe. Amell says it’s not like his contract forbids it, so technically it’s possible.
“Whenever I talk to people, it’s like, ‘this is an evolving process,'” Amell offered. “And there’s absolutely no contractual barriers and/or creative barriers between me and being in a movie, one of the DC movies.”
Speaking of Ezra Miller, Miller recently mentioned that his version of The Flash and the Grant Gustin Flash actually exist in parallel universes, which brings up speculation of some sort of Crisis event, in which the DC multiverses collide. There hasn’t been any hints or mention that may actually happen, but it always exists and would make for a pretty cool two part Justice League movie.
Amell also let it be known he has been filming Constantine scenes all week with Matt Ryan (via CBM).
Posted by Stephen Amell on Thursday, August 20, 2015
We have confirmation that Stephen Amell will be suited up as the Arrow for his WWE SummerSlam match that takes place later tonight in Brooklyn, NY.
Stephen Amell released the above video teasing his Arrow costume mentioning “you didn’t think I was coming without it.”
Amell will be teaming with Neville, the “Red Arrow,” to take on Wade Barrett and Cody “Stardust” Rhodes.
The actor has been feuding with Stardust for some time, which recently came to a head on an episode of RAW when Rhodes attacked Amell, causing the Arrow star to retaliate in the ring, and then sign a WWE contract.
Amell actually looked pretty good in the ring as he jumped the ropes, tackled Rhodes and dropped some elbows.
Maybe Amell will also have a finisher up his sleeve?
SummerSlam airs on the WWE Network starting at 7pm ET/4pm PT.

Dragon Ball Super is set a few years after the defeat of Majin Buu, when the Earth has become peaceful once again, and has been said to feature foes more powerful than both Frieza and Buu.
Trending worldwide earlier on Twitter was the hashtag: #RenewYoungJustice.
Young Justice writer and creator Greg Weisman and fans around the globe tweeted out support to bring back the Young Justice series that Cartoon Network cancelled rather abruptly in the Spring of 2013.
The retweets for support quickly numbered over 32,000 in just a couple of hours.
Weisman’s Twitter account is currently lit up with overwhelming support for bringing back the fan-favorite series.
“I hope the fandoms effort will bring the show back, it’s an amazing show!” one fan tweeted out enthusiastically.
“I had literal tears running down my cheeks,” another fan tweeted about the #RenewYoungJustice hashtag picking up steam. “Talk about intense.”
Likewise, Weisman responded to a fan’s question if he sees himself working on Young Justice in the future with: “I hope so.”
Weisman even provided the address that fans could write Cartoon Network to show their support, noting it should be a polite letter:
Cartoon Network 300 N 3rd St. Burbank, CA 91502
Specific reasons why Young Justice was cancelled aren’t exactly known, but DC animated Paul Dini’s told Kevin Smith that network executives didn’t want girls watching the series.

“A year ago, a terrorist attack in Odessa, Texas, left the city decimated. Blamed for the tragic event, those with extraordinary abilities are in hiding or on the run from those with nefarious motives. Two such vigilantes include Luke (Zachary Levi, “Chuck”) and Joanne (Judith Shekoni, “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2”), who are seeking to avenge a tragic loss.
Noah Bennet, aka H.R.G. (Jack Coleman, “Heroes”), has gone off the grid but conspiracy theorist Quentin Frady (Henry Zebrowski, “A to Z”) finds him and opens his eyes to the truth behind the Odessa tragedy. While in hiding, some are discovering their newfound skills. Awkward teen Tommy (Robbie Kay, “Once Upon a Time”) just wants to be normal and win the girl of his dreams, Emily (Gatlin Green, “Criminal Minds”), but normalcy is virtually impossible after learning of a new ability that terrifies him. Coming from a very sheltered upbringing, a bold and ethereal teenager, Malina (Danika Yarosh, “Shameless”), has been told she is destined for greatness. In Tokyo, a quiet and unique young woman, Miko (Kiki Sukezane, “Death Yankee 3”), is trying to track down her missing father while hiding an extraordinary secret that will make her a force to bereckoned with. Elsewhere, a different type of hero is emerging through former soldier Carlos (Ryan Guzman, “The Boy Next Door”). Meanwhile, Erica (Rya Kihlstedt, “Masters of Sex”), the head of the highly successful tech conglomerate Renautas, has an agenda of her own.
For better or for worse, some are fated to cross paths with assorted heroes of the past, including Hiro Nakamura (Masi Oka), Matt Parkman (Greg Grunberg), Mohinder Suresh (Sendhil Ramamurthy) and the Haitian (Jimmy Jean-Louis), among others.
Blinded as a young boy but imbued with extraordinary senses, Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox) fights against injustice by day as a lawyer, and by night as the Super Hero “Daredevil” in modern day Hell’s Kitchen, New York City.

The Purple Man’s powers include using chemical pheromones to control and manipulate other people.
It’s unclear how close the Jessica Jones Netflix series will stick to the comic books, but the official Netflix page has been updated with a purple background (as well as the new Comic-Con logo), which may hint at the use of pheromones due to the cloudy nature of the image.

SyFy has confirmed cancellation of Haven, with the 13-episode second half of season five being its last.
Showrunner Gabrielle Stanton noted the creative team was prepared for Season 5 to be the finish to the story, which should provide a satisfying conclusion.
“I’m sure as a fellow TV fan, there’s nothing more annoying than when a show kind of feels like it might be wrapping up, but they just don’t address it, they don’t come to any kind of satisfying conclusion,” Stanton told The Wrap. “I always think that’s cheating the audience a little bit, of a nice satisfying ending. So we really looked at these 13 episodes as if… If we were indeed going to end, what would be the best ending we could possibly do for Haven?”
Stanton does note a TV movie following the finale is always possible if there’s enough demand from the fans.
“I think it will feel satisfying on its own as a finale for a series as a whole,” she said. “But if fans wanted a TV movie after that, I bet you’d find some actors and writers who are very amenable to that.”
It’s also noted Haven could survive at another network or Netflix, with there being interest on the part of the creators and cast.
“I’m sure that [the show’s production companies] eOne and Piller/Segan/Shepard are out there looking at that option, which is out there now. It’s so cool, that that option now exists where it never used to. I can’t speak to it personally because I’m not involved in those discussions.”
Warner Bros. Home Entertainment released an all-new clip from Batman Unlimited: Monster Mayhem featuring Red Robin taking on Clayface.

Check out the latest set pics of The Punisher Jon Bernthal as filming on Daredevil Season 2 continues.
We see the Punisher is all bruised and beat-up after following some sort of fight scene. Wonder what the other guy looks like?
Daredevil and The Punisher are said to be more at odds over their personal philosophies for handing out justice in Season 2, rather than The Punisher being a straight-up villain. It’s been said due to the events at the end of Daredevil Season 1, that a power vacuum has occurred leaving Hell’s Kitchen open for a vigilante killing spree by The Punisher.
