The Flash

Listen, “From (two of) the writers of Spider-Man: Homecoming…” definitely sounds more attractive than “From the directors of the Vacation reboot,” but you’ll have to just split the difference with John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein — and hey, they have a 50-50 (or 25-75?) shot of making a great Flashpoint movie for DC Films…which is a long-winded way of reporting that Daley and Goldstein are in talks to helm Ezra Miller’s big solo project for Warner Bros.

While I was off for vacation, I may have binge watched a lot of Netflix. I also may now be an expert on The Flash.

If Game of Thrones skipping 2018 has one advantage, it’s that next year will finally bring us a new king of TorrentFreak’s most-pirated TV. It totally won 2017, of course, but a few new additions like Rick and Morty or demotions for Arrow might make this a very different list going forward.

Even as Arrow once again revoked access to Deathstroke, fans kept hope that recent references to Batman and Wonder Woman might signal greater leniency with the major DCEU characters. Not so, apparently, as Arrow boss Marc Guggenheim once again shoots down the notion that Justice League-rs Batman or Wonder Woman might make their CW debuts.

As if the real world weren’t increasingly rife with Nazis, the Arrow-verse has a whole planet full of them. See the forces of “Earth-X” invade Barry and Iris’ wedding with a full trailer for the four-way crossover event between Supergirl, Flash, Arrow and Legends of Tomorrow.

If the “Invasion!” weren’t bad enough, now the stars of Arrow, Flash, Supergirl and Legends of Tomorrow have a “Crisis on Earth-X” to contend with. Get a first look at Barry and Iris’ wedding, along with new superhero “The Ray” and Nazi Supergirl with photos from all four hours of the November crossover.

Supergirl got the short end of the crossover stick when Arrow, Flash and Legends convened last year, but our first look at “Crisis on Earth-X” is already making up for it. Check out first footage from the crossover event later this month, as Supergirl brings a new character to Earth-1.

There’s a lot of weird stuff going on with the upcoming solo outing for The Flash. It’s been through approximately 70,000 directors at this point, and we’re not exactly sure what it will be about. Or are we? During this summer’s Comic Con, Warner Bros. might have tipped their hand in a DCEU sizzle reel: the title for the Flash movie, until now just referred to as The Flash, shows up as “Flashpoint,” a reference to a game-changing comic crossover from 2011 that introduced a sinister alternate universe where the Justice League ends up battling each other.

We weren’t terribly surprised when Supergirl opted for its own Superman rather than shatter universes with a Smallville star, but The CW drama has nonetheless hosted a bevy of Super-cameos. Now, both Tom Welling and Michael Rosenbaum confirm they’ve been approached to join different Arrow-verse series.

Given the film’s box office success and surprising - albeit extremely preliminary - Oscar buzz, it’s probably fair to declare 2017 as the year of Wonder Woman. And all this Wonder Woman excitement has fans asking: after we see the character again in this fall’s Justice League, what’s next for the star of the DCEU? Will she jump forward to the modern world in Wonder Woman 2? Will we continue to see her adventures unfold throughout the 1900s? Or will Warner Bros. do something really wacky with her character, like, I dunno, make her the villain of another DCEU movie?

We know of at least three unfamiliar faces coming to The Flash this fall, but plenty of old friends will be hanging around as well. A new report suggests we’ll be seeing much more of Jessica Camacho’s “Gypsy,” balancing out a few other exits from the team.

We don’t wish to alarm you, but you may see some DC superheroes at Comic-Con 2017. Not only have all the CW shows set their plans (including Black Lightning), but everyone from Young Justice to Krypton will be representing with panels and appearances. Get the full details!
