Arrow star, Stephen Amell, took to Twitter to announce Madison McLaugh’s arrival to the show. Though his tweet was as ominous as his character, leaving much to the imagination as to who she will be playing, and where she’ll show up. https://twitter.com/amellywood/status/702933893276545026 However, McLaugh’s tweet from the day before might have gave a few more clues, as she added devil and angel emojis. https://twitter.com/madisonmclaugh/status/702608674989080576 Could her character have anything to do with such? As we dive deeper into magic this fourth season, with the likes of Damien Darhk and John Constantine, that wouldn’t be too far out of the…

Last year, Kevin Smith created a big splash, announcing a reunion of the original cast mates for his upcoming Mallrats sequel. It was enough to get up every morning to know that he would be announcing a new return (Jason Lee, Stan Lee, Micheal Rooker, Shannon Doherty, etc). Though no date slated yet, the anxiety for the return of Jay and Silent Bob is unbearable. We last saw the “hetero-life-mates” in live-action in 2006’s Clerks 2. Since then, they’ve only showed up in animated form. But it looks like we don’t have to wait until Mallbrats or Clerks 3.…

This list contains spoilers to The Flash episode 215, “King Shark.” I predicted Jay as the man behind Zoom back when they dropped Zolomon’s name. Looks like I was right. The trailer, “Zoom’s Coming,” teased the next handful of episodes and showed the villain remove his mask. It was only a matter of time before we would actually get to that episode. When the moment of truth finally happened, some fans were shocked to see that his face was the same of the corpse in his hands. “What is funny is we showed that Jay’s doppelganger was Hunter Zolomon, and…

Caution: This list contains spoilers for The Flash episode 213 “Welcome to Earth-2” Before we were granted with this Arrowverse, DC introduced us to many of its characters in live-action on Smallville. On an episode in the last season, Clark woke up on a parallel Earth to learn that his doppelganger was found by the Luthors, and raised to become the evil Ultraman. The episode did a great job at showing us alternate versions of the cast members. Now with The Flash, and the other shows it shares a multi-verse with, we have the chance to see this ploy used…

X2: X-Men United, my favorite X-Man was brought to life by Alan Cumming. Since then, with as many X-movies that have followed, the blue-skinned mutant has not “bamfed” his way into any others. Luckily, he will be in the upcoming X-Men: Apocalypse. This time, as this new franchise has focused on younger versions, he will be played by Dawn of the Planet of the Apes’ Kodi Smit-McPhee. Will he learn who his famous parents are? When Quicksilver ran into our hearts in X-Men: Days of Future Past, he made a quip to Magneto that his mother knew a guy with…

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice tie-in book, Guide to the Caped Crusader/Guide to the Man of Steel: Movie Flip Book features a look at the world of the movie. Notably, it showcases the Batmobile, its armory, and garage. “To keep Batman’s identity a secret, Bruce and Alfred had to build everything in the Batcave by themselves. With Bruce’s fortune, they have easy access to the most high-tech tools and materials, but some things had to be learned by trial and error. By now they’ve had many years to figure out what works and what doesn’t, so many items in…

What can we expect for the rest of Season 2 of The Flash? Well, this trailer has you covered: It’s been a crazy ride since we got back from the mid-season break. Even before hand, when Zoom paraded his prey around Central City, and then broke the Flash’s back. The latest episode, “Welcome to Earth-2,” though, was a trip. I’m sure Vibe has some pretty big shoes to fill now. But Barry’s not done on Earth-2. At the end of last week’s episode, he was captured by Zoom and occupied a cell across from Harry’s daughter, Jesse Quick. Will the…

The Earth stopped in its tracks when it was announced that Grant Gustin’s Flash would make a special appearance on CBS’s Supergirl. The conspiracy theories started to circle when the title of the episode was revealed as “Worlds Finest.” On surface level, it seemed that it was just paying homage to the Superman/Batman team-up title. But the removal of the apostrophe said otherwise. With season two of The Flash focusing on parallel worlds, we have learned much about Earth-2; especially with the most recent episode, “Welcome to Earth-2.” Said episode also set the confirmation of the crossover in stone. As…

In Episode 213 of The Flash, “Welcome to Earth-2,” Barry, Cisco, and Harry traveled to Harry’s home-world to save his daughter (Jesse Quick) from Zoom. We got a good look at Killer Frost, Deathstorm, and Reverb (as well as Deadshot’s doppelganger). But the episode hinted at much bigger characters. Through the breach were quick glimpses of several people (Gorilla Grodd, John Wesley Shipp’s Flash, etc). One of them was Melissa Benoist’s Supergirl. It has been announced that Grant Gustin will make a special appearance on the CBS show as the Flash. While the episode will be called “Worlds Finest,” there…

Ashley Scott played The Huntress on the short-lived DC show, Birds of Prey. Her version of the character was that of Batman and Catwoman’s DNA. Before that, she appeared in a 1979 TV-special hosted by Ed McMahon called Legends of the Superheroes, played by Barbara Joyce. But who remembers all that? What we do remember is Jessica Du Gouw on Arrow. Unlike her previous live-action incarnation, she was the daughter of mob boss, Frank Bertinelli. But what happened to her? The last we saw of her was in Season 2, Episode 17, called “Birds of Prey,” paying tribute to her…
