Legends of Tomorrow Looks Pretty Badass

Legends of Tomorrow will premiere on Jan. 21, continuing the conquest of The CW with DC superheroes! I’m a little hesitant about this series, but damn if that trailer doesn’t look all manner of awesome. Can you believe we’re going to get a TV show starring Hawkman and the Atom? Granted, it’s in the same year that we’ll get a movie starring Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman. I guess 2016 is really going to be DC’s make or break year!

Robot Chicken meets the Flash and Arrow

Words cannot express the beauty of Robot Chicken and DC Comics. After numerous crossover specials, it was only a matter of time before Robot Chicken lampooned two of DC’s best television series. Enjoy!

Sizzle Reels Show Both Arrow and Flash With Some Sizzle!

Quick, wicked trailers for the new seasons of Arrow and The Flash were shown off at New York Comic-Con this past weekend, and both are pretty neat. We’ve already seen some of these teases in earlier trailers, but there’s still a lot of cool, new stuff.

Flash

Arrow

I saw the first episodes last week, and both were very good. I’m definitely looking forward to the coming seasons. I still kinda miss Roy Harper on Arrow, but we’ll see how Thea steps up as the new Red Arrow. And here’s hoping The Flash can pull off alternate dimensions. That stuff gets pretty tricky.

New TV Show Trailers for Everybody!

When did TV show trailers become a thing? I completely understand them, expect them and enjoy them…but did they not simply creep up into our lives like a silent ninja? Did they not just appear suddenly and act like they’d always been here? I don’t remember any trailers for new seasons of Family Matters…

At any rate, enough grousing! Let’s enjoy some fun trailers for Arrow and The Flash, both of which seem like they’re going to embrace their comic book roots in the new seasons!

Green Arrow, Jay Garrick, Atom Smasher, other stuff; this is going to be a fun television season!

DC Still Has No Faith in Hawkman’s Chest

The first picture of the new Hawkman and Hawkgirl from the Arrowverse has arrived, and just like in Smallville a few years ago, the good people at DC and The CW are making sure that Hawkman’s manly, muscular chest is covered up. It’s probably for the best, but still…Hawkman!

The wings are probably CGI

At least he’s still got the mace!

I think I like the costumes. They’re definitely along the lines of the Flash and Green Arrow costumes, and that’s a definite plus. It’s a good look — though those helmets do look slightly silly.

Hawkgirl will be played by Ciara Renee, and Hawkman will be played by Falk Hentschel. DC is apparently sticking with the ‘reincarnated Egytpian lovers’ origin for the Hawks instead of something more modern and realistic. More power to them.

At this point, I don’t remember which shows the two are going to appear on. I’m sure they’ll make the rounds everywhere they can before settling on Legends of Tomorrow.
