    I do. Gotham as well for all things DC related. Not Constantine though.

    First look at a couple new DC TV shows coming soon.



    Legends of Tomorrow, CW spin off of Arrow and Flash. Looks really promising. Whatever CW is doing with DC, they need to keep doing it.



    And here is Supergirl from CBS. It looks straight up bad, I'll still watch it and remain hopeful but I do not trust CBS at all. Looks more like a romantic comedy/drama than a comic book TV show.

    I don't watch arrow yet, but flash is great. I stopped watching Gotham as it quickly became CSI: Gotham that relied on Easter eggs more and monsters of the week more than its solid cast and a cohesive ongoing plot.

    As for Constantine, it was significantly better than Gotham. Sadly it too was caged by the monster of the week big network plot structure and could never get its legs as it had to walk a line between Network at 9 and its roots in the comic. Several of the CW DC actors have come out saying they want to guest star in it if it comes back. Hopefully Syfy, Netflix, Hulu, or even CW will pick it up and free it from monster of the week plots. If they dont it will join almost human as potentially great shows axed by nonsense networks.

    Got to love a producer like that. Taking the show elsewhere and fighting tooth and nail for it to continue? Love it.

    Legends of Tomorrow looks like it's going to rock albeit for only 13 episodes. I wonder how that'll work with the Arrow and Flash episodes.

    Watching the pilot for Super Girl. Not as bad as I expected. I actually kind of like it actually.

    It's like Gilmore Girls mixed with the Flash lol. Cheesy, and a bit overacted, but I still like it for some reason. Most of the reason this show still works for me is because the main character that plays Super Girl is just so cute and likable. The CG was also a bit better than I expected too.

    Looks like Batman will have a small role in Suicide Squad

    That is an electrifying car chase lol

    No for real I have no idea where they're going with this movie. Could be fun or it could be a flop. I have higher hopes for it than BvS though.

    Eisenberg as Lex looks stupid, like I don't get what they're going for there at all, but I guess we'll have to see. Other than that it looks fine, no complaints about the other pics. I'm over the Affleck as Batman thing, he looks fine, better than some past Batmans even.

    Ben is a terrific director, but... Yikes! This is a crazy move! I'm not a fan of that at all. Not to mention I'm not really all that excited about the way they've doubled down on what I think is a mistake in Man of Steel.

    @therealdeal He's done it before, but damn...not for a tent pole film and not for the most popular comic book character out there. It's one thing wearing all the hats for The Town or Argo, they don't have crazy, die hard fans who can make or break your career. A career he just got back on track and we all remember what happened the last time he dipped his foot in the conic book waters. If you're just the actor and it doesn't work then you can deflect some of the heat, when it's all you...I hope it's good.

    I do too. I'm a Marvel guy, but Batman is just too cool of a character. I'm really hopeful that this works for him, but I also don't know that it will. This could get real ugly, real fast. It seems like a high risk, low reward kind of move.
