New characters from the Smallville Justice League TV movie (http://ausiellofiles.ew.com/2009/11/27/smallville-doctor-fate-stargirl-hawkman/)
I gotta say, compared to previous Smallville characters, these ones look particularly faithful to their comic book counterparts.

Young Justice coming to Cartoon Network (http://splashpage.mtv.com/2010/04/21/young-justice-animated-series-officially-announced/#more-33340)
It looks more like the Geoff Johns' "Teen Titans" line-up to me, but I understand calling them "Young Justice" in order to avoid confusion with the most recent Teen Titans cartoon they had.
Robin, Superboy, Kid Flash = excellent. Weird to see Miss Martian, 'Aqualad', and Arrowette 'Artemis' mixed in there. I would have much rather they ditched Artemis for Wonder Girl or at least just left her as Arrowette. Eh, I'll still watch it though. :)

I saw that this morning too, kind of jazzed to check it out this Fall. As you mentioned, it reminded me of Johns' Teen Titans as well (the last time I really enjoyed that book actually)...but the lineup doesn't look too bad. I would have rather seen Wonder Girl included as well, but maybe they will expand the lineup as it goes on. I always thought the Titans (or in this case Young Justice) franchise had a lot of potential for animation and live action movies, if they went the right way with things. I'll watch it as well, as I'm usually a sucker for superhero cartoons. Plus, our daughter loves watching them, so that works out well.
Speaking of which, I don't know if anyone else here watches much 'toons anymore, but it sounds like both Spectacular Spider-Man and Wolverine and the X-Men are ending. The first because of the whole Sony/Disney changes with the property (and being replaced by an Ultimate Spidey toon in fall of 2011) and the second because of "costing concerns" or something. I liked both quite a bit (Spectacular Spidey especially), so its a bummer to see those ending. But, on the other side of things, sounds like we have this Young Justice and also a new Avengers cartoon both on the way this Fall (along with more Batman: The Brave and the Bold and Super Hero Squad).

From what I've been hearing, next year Disney XD will be renamed the Marvel Channel.

Bad news for CAPE fans...NBC reduced its initial order from 13 to 10 episodes, on the heels of its worst ratings yet.
Next to the dreaded "vote of confidence" by ownership this is the closest thing to a Kiss of Death.
I'll miss it a little. But if it helps bring back The Event sooner, that will ease the pain.
Summer Glau's TV track record remains intact.

Not exactly a "movie", but the first pic of Adrianne Palicki of Wonder Woman (in the upcoming TV pilot) has been posted by EW (http://insidetv.ew.com/2011/03/18/wonder-woman-adrianne-palicki-photo/).
EDIT: Whoops....just saw that Jeff already posted this in the TV thread.
-
Works for me!
-
I saw a photochop of that where they darkened the pants and recolored the boots red and it looked a lot better. But this isn't bad. Oddly enough, I don't think that's a very flattering photo of Palicki, who I normally think's smokin' hot. Too much makeup and post production on it I think.
E...
-
Damn... that's hot.
-
Wow...I'm all in now.
-
It reminds me of a Halloween costume you would pick up at Party City. Even the makeup looks like the picture on the front of the costume bag. Wonder Woman is not suppose to wear pants! I don't care what the new DC costume is suppose to be.
-
Updated costume pic:

http://www.dailyblam.com/news/2011/03/30/new-wonder-woman-tv-series-set-pics-reveal-changes-to-the-heroines-costume
Looks like they opted for red boots and less-shiny pants.
-
No pants would be better. ;)
-
Looks horrible.
-
I showed the pics to my husband. Lynda Carter as Wonder Woman was his first serious woman crush. He still has fond memories. ;) When we were first dating, we worked together at a law firm in DC, which represented her husband in the Clifford and Altman/BCCI Banking case. She was in the office quite a bit - which was a dream come true for him. He doesn't post on here, but he wanted it on the record that he thinks it's the most assinine thing he 's ever seen - pants on Wonder Woman.
-
I think that looks better with the red boots and the less shiny pants. But seriously, realistic translations of most superhero costumes really don't look that good. I'm still happy that the X-Men films went with the leather outfits over the comic versions, for example. Spider-Man is one of the few where I think a nearly direct translation actually worked.
Although the Linda Carter WW with the shorts did look excellent, I don't have a problem with the pants.
E...

She looks like she's power walking and not running in that picture.

That top makes her boobs look horrible too

Well she is running. ;)

(http://www-tvline-com.vimg.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/harryslaw_ericadurance111228153624.jpg)
-
That costume sucks. It looks like it doesn't fit very well.
-
Yeah, the other one looks too Xena-esque. But "looks about to fall off" does not equate to "fits well," even if it does also describe your avatar. I hope your female family members are also valued according to breast size.
-
Such a tragedy... TV actresses are judged in part by their looks. Next thing you know they'll want action heroes to be muscular. :P
-
Apparently I'm the only person who has an opinion on the costume.
-
I don't like the costume. It's not pants vs shorts either, there's just something about it I don't care for.
E...
-
Is it the juxtaposition of different materials for the bodice and pants? The pants appear to be some sort of matte poly-cotton blend while the bodice is a very shiny vinyl or other plastic material. Doesn't bother me but I can see how others would find the combination jarring. What I don't like are the wrinkles in the bodice material. On either actress, it makes the uniform look saggy and not at all supportive, like it was about to fall off or something. Perhaps the Hall of Justice could hire a tailor?
-
Apparently I'm the only person who has an opinion on the costume.
No...just the only one who does not adequately admire a good pair of boobies.

Edit. Screw it. If you ever wonder why there aren't a lot of females posting here, this is why.
-
There are women posting here? I thought Tracy was the only one.
-
I'm female and I lurk because there isn't a lot for me to post that isn't quite succinctly put by other more active members. :D I don't care about the ogling in general but it just rubbed me the wrong way because I was trying to discuss the costume and the responses from some posters were only about the quality of the wonder-boobies. I'll get over it.
-
Got tired of burying the Super Hero TV stuff in the movie thread, so I thought I'd start this one as a place folks can talk about "in development" TV shows, like the recently flopped WW show or... the new rumors of a potential Green Arrow show (http://insidetv.ew.com/2012/01/12/green-arrow/).
If they couldn't get WW off the ground, I wonder why they think they can get GA going? Less iconic, more open to drama and action maybe? Also, it will be interesting to see how much is the classic Silver Age stuff comic (Ollie, Dinah; fighting against "the man" etc) or how much it's all-new stuff (Connor; spiritual, martial arts based stuff)
-
If it doesn't star Justin Hartley it's gonna cause such a backlash it'll fail.
-
I don't even have to read the article to know it's not going to star Hartley. And because of that, I wouldn't watch it even if I had the CW network.
I thought they could have easily spun off his character from Smallville if they wanted. Why start over when you've already invested in establishin a character?
E...
-
Maybe Hartley wanted too much money? That's the only thing that pops into my head.
-
I'll admit that I watched Smallville off and on during its run, and I actually liked Hartley's portrayal of GA on that show. If they were going to spin off something like this, I don't know why they wouldn't just cast him. They already had a Black Canary on Smallville as well, although if they recast it wouldn't be a big deal. I think they'd get a better audience if they tied into Smallville somewhat. I mean, they could probably talk some of the previous cast members (Welling, etc.) into making a guest appearance every so often too.
-
Just because of the fact that's it's not going to be a direct spin-off from Smallville will mean that the new wirters and producers will want to put their own spin on things which means that any new GA show will be a "reboot" in that it won't take any cues from Smallville.
Which is a completly ****** way to go about it. Smallville had a built-in audience that liked not only the characters but actors as well. Directly spinning off from Smallville would have, most likely, taken most if not all of the fans they already had and had the chance to add to it. They could have set it in Star City rather than Metropolis, kept Hartley and gone on from there.
Instead we'll get something new, it'll have to build an audience from scratch and all the fun and quirkiness that we loved in Smallville will be gone.

Preacher female lead cast (http://deadline.com/2015/03/ruth-negga-cast-lead-amc-pilot-preacher-seth-rogen-1201394933/)
I'm a big fan of her in SHIELD. It'll be interesting to see if she can pull off a character who's less stable.
-
Tulip is Caucasian.
:(
-
Ruth Negga is half Irish. Is the fact that she isn't blonde really going to kill the series for you?
-
No, I won't be watching either way, I recall Preacher being about futuristic vampires and i think they already made that movie a few years ago.
I just don't like this trend of casting against type.
-
Actually, vampires have very little to do with Preacher (other than his best mate being a vampire - a classical one allergic to sun and drinking blood). The main story is about a disillusioned minister who gets possessed by the offspring of an unnatural celestial coupling, which grants him the power of command. Basically anything he says, you do. And if you piss him off, he might command you to count every grain of sand on a beach. He and his pals decided to go and find God, encountering all manner of insanity along the way. It was a rip-roaring yarn.
I wouldn't call this casting "against type." All I really recall of Tulip was that she was a junkie, abrasive, and competent.
-
Just for the record, Ruth Negga is tremendous. I've loved her since Breakfast on Pluto and the fact she's Irish only runs up the score. As far as the casting against type, I don't have a problem with any of it really. I'm a fan of Dr. Who and though that's a show that really needs and is probably going to get some against type casting next go around, it has really promoted the fluidity of character. The Doctor's changing appearance is integral to his character but it speaks to the mutating nature of mythic characters. Preacher isn't mythic but a lot of characters who could get cast variably are (Spider-Man, for instance) and that's kind of cool actually.
-
I've watched the first couple of episodes of Daredevil on Netflix so far. I like the grittiness and local feel of the show thus far. But I want to get through the whole season before I say much more.
As for other current Comic/TV projects? I'm seriously wondering if Disney/ABC is going to renew Agents of SHIELD, even with all of the Inhumans rumblings that have been taking place ever since the show came back from winter hiatus. It seems pretty obvious that there's going to be a significant tie-in with Avengers - Age of Ultron. The mentions of Strucker/Hydra have made that very clear. But will that give the show the type of boost that we saw with Captain America - The Winter Soldier? I'm curious to see how that will play out. I still think that the show would benefit greatly from a shorter season structure, and that a 20+ episode season really does have the potential to stretch these storylines thin.
I also think that Agents of SHIELD could also benefit greatly if it occasionally brought in Fury, Romanov or Barton. Not in a gratuitous way. But in some organic way that moves the series forward while also tying things into the cinematic universe. Because even though they like using this tag line "It's all connected", sometimes it feels like it isn't, and the movies are VERY seperate from the television series.
-
I've read SHIELD is a lock for renewal. Carter is "on the bubble" as they say. Hoping they bring it back.
I just caught up on SHIELD after Celebration, and I thought this season has been pretty fantastic. Episode before last they were killing it with the heart strings.
I see the same thing with Ultron. I'm guessing they locate Von Strucker after getting List, and call in the big guns. I'm hoping for a cameo from Cap or Stark, but don't know if that'll happen. They're in a tough spot working in main characters - from a contract standpoint. If Black Widow shows up in the show, that'd count as one of her appearances (as I understand things). And they can't really volunteer to show up due to guild rules.
-
I hope they bring back Agent Carter. That was really good.

Agreed - I personally feel that just mentioning characters & events is going to wear really thin, really fast. It's NOT "all connected" if you can't open up the purse strings of the franchise that is making you billions just so you don't have to pay one or two of the movie actors to make an appearance.
I thought for sure last year (before Winter Soldier) with How I Met Your Mother ending, that we'd see Colbie Smulders join the case of Agents of Shield, something like that would have given AoS serious cred - and what did they do? Have it end in Winter Soldier where she goes and works for Stark. What?!?! I'm sorry, but if there was ever an actress who they should have been able to work out joining AoS it was her. If there is truly still a TV vs. Movies mentality in Hollywood, it's pretty hard to get high-and-mighty that you're "not a TV actress" when you just ended a run on a TV show - so clearly the reason it was written that way was because they couldn't work out a $$$ deal with getting her on AoS.
And either Hawkeye should have been in Winter Soldier or he should have made a few appearances on AoS this season - there were plenty of chances for them to show how he fit in with the Fall of SHIELD, they just didn't want to pay Renner his fee.
And don't even get me started about how there was supposedly a Coulson scene shot for Daredevil that ended up on the cutting room floor. The show is on Netflix. There are no commercials, you're not aiming for a 1-hour time slot, your episodes can be as long as you want - and the one thing that connects Daredevil to the rest of the MCU is left on the cutting room floor? That's crap. (Yes, I understand the connections made in the 1st episode about how the office was a cheap rent cause it's where some serious damage took place in the first Avengers, and yes, Fisk's organization was making money hand over fist with lucrative rebuilding contracts from fixing the city - but that doesn't mean I want to see a show called Bob Vila: Fixer of Chitauri Damage - there was damage made to the city of New York when Loki and Chitauri attacked, the first Avengers movie made that obvious, for anyone to say that unscrupulous building development organizations wouldn't have taken advantage of the clean-up process clearly doesn't know anything about the New York/New Jersey area)
I'm hopeful that things will get better when it comes to Captain America: Civil War - if they DON'T work in Quake, Hyde, Mockingbird, Daredevil, Luke Cage & Jessica Jones (all of whom would have been seen by that point in time) to add to the super heroes who pick sides, then I think people are going to start giving up on the TV side of the MCU.

Supergirl premiere tonight! At 8:30? Screw you, CBS. I watch Gotham.
Supergirl...all you had you wasted!
-
I saw the pilot o Supergirl when it leaked a few months back and enjoyed it. I'll at least give the first few episodes a shot.
I really had to force myself to get through the first season of Gotham....I started to record season 2, but just couldn't bring myself to watch it anymore.
-
Just for the sake of making it a 2 - 1 lead in favor of "Gotham" in the last three posts, I watch and enjoy Gotham.
-
Supergirl premiere tonight! At 8:30? Screw you, CBS. I watch Gotham.
Supergirl...all you had you wasted!
Who watches live TV anymore? Unless it's Steelers football or The Walking Dead, it's DVR for me.
As far as Supergirl goes, watching the extended trailer was more than enough to show me this thing would be excruciating.
-

The trailer was too much for me. I watched the leaked episode & skimmed thru last nites premier at work... I can't see it lasting long..
-
Watched Supergirl off the DVR last night. Unless my wife and I both spaced on when we started, the hour long program took us 36 minutes to get through and we didn't "skip" anything. 36 minutes of content in a 60 minute time slot. Seriously?
I'm going to keep giving the show a chance, but the extended 5-6 minute trailer essentially gave you 14-17% of the entire episode - so it was disappointing not getting much more than I already saw in that trailer.
To make matters worse, that extended trailer also took you through the entire plot of the pilot beat-for-beat. So where was the extra time taken up? Longer conversations between Cat and Kara, the conversation where she meets Jimmy was longer, a post-script scene revealing who the "evil mastermind" of the series is and Kara getting ditched during her blind-date. Other than that, for example the montage of her and her friend trying out superhero outfits and her first efforts at being a crime fighter that appeared in the extended trailer was lifted directly from the show itself with ZERO trimming - that more than anything else was the most disappointing, I genuinely was hoping to see more trial and error on Kara's part as she was "figuring things out".
Nice little nod to past Superman/Supergirl franchises with making her adoptive human parents Dean Cain (Lois & Clark) and Helen Slater (Supergirl movie) - would be nice to have them do something more than smile and nod like they did in the pilot episode - so I hope them being in the pilot wasn't just a one-and-done kind of thing...
-
I dropped Gotham as well. There are a two or three actors in it that I really enjoyed, but there was so much other garbage I didn't like that it wasn't a fair trade-off.
-
Supergirl premiere tonight! At 8:30? Screw you, CBS. I watch Gotham.
Supergirl...all you had you wasted!
I want to want to see this, but the ads didn't look great to me. The actress is too spunky and seems to be a high cheese factor.
I'm also bothered that they chose "Kara Danvers" as her name. I'm not a big DC guy, but I believe it's supposed to be Linda Lee Danvers or Kara Zor-El. Marvel has been building up to it's Ms. Marvel introduction with "Carol Danvers," so now it's going to look to the casual fan like Marvel is copying Supergirl if the show actually takes off. They even go so far as to call Kara "Agent Danvers" in one of the trailers, when Carol Danvers from marvel is referred to as "Agent Danvers" from SHIELD. I call Shenanigans!
-
We watched it last night. Not great, not terrible. Definitely trying to be a "fun" show - much more "Adventures of Lois and Clark" than Arrow or Gotham.
I'll give it a few more tries to see if it gets better now that the set-up pilot stuff is out of the way.
I'm also bothered that they chose "Kara Danvers" as her name. I'm not a big DC guy, but I believe it's supposed to be Linda Lee Danvers or Kara Zor-El.
Kara Zor-El is her true name. Kara Danvers is her secret/earth identity name. Yeah, comic Supergirl used Linda Danvers but I can understand simplifying that for TV and keeping the first name the same.
They even go so far as to call Kara "Agent Danvers" in one of the trailers, when Carol Danvers from marvel is referred to as "Agent Danvers" from SHIELD. I call Shenanigans!
"Agent Danvers" on the show is actually Kara's adoptive sister Alex Danvers. She works for the DEO, which is very much a DCU-style version of SHIELD.
And of course there are shenanigans. There have been for years and years between DC and Marvel. Of course DC is trying to cash in on the groundwork laid by Marvel movies.
Are they similar in name? Sure, but that street goes both ways. It's entirely possible that Marvel chose the last name "Danvers" for their new blond super-heroine in the late 60s because they were trying to copy Supergirl. :P
-
Revenge from the 60s < 2015 Marketing Ploy. And I'm not in any way biased towards Marvel. ;)
-
Supergirl seems OK to me as long as the show doesn't get too WB-Buffy. I kept wondering why doesn't Superman or someone from the Shield ripoff group teach her to fight? Using the line, "I'm a girl. Don't kill me." was dumb. That Klingon alien would have been laughed off the planet if he didn't kill himself. Dean Cain and Helen Slater would have been better as the two main bad guys instead of her adopted parents.

Preacher premiere date - May 22 at 10 PM. (http://deadline.com/2016/03/preacher-amc-drama-series-premiere-date-1201719886/)
An encore presentation of the pilot episode will air the following Sunday, May 29, with back-to-back airings beginning at 9 PM. New episodes will resume Sunday, June 5 at its regular 9 PM time slot.
So I guess it's going to premiere after the finale of Fear the Walking Dead, then take over the prime 9 PM slot. I'm skipping Fear this time around - season 1 was garbage, and I can't imagine the characters are gonna get any better.
-
Two Marvel shows gone/no longer green-lit: Agent Carter dies twice in a month and Most Wanted doesn't make the little screen.

Chloe Bennett was shooting he mouth off about how the TV is second fiddle to the films. I'd give AoS one more season at best.

Not familiar with the comics at all. Seemed a mess o'weird to me, but enough to get me to watch again.

That's Garth Ennis for ya! I heard that Cinemax has picked up another one of his titles...The Boys. If you haven't read it, it's worth a look!
-
The Preacher books were ahead of their time when it comes to irreverence and just nasty stuff. I read the first 50 or so issues back when I was in college, and they were wild. Great characters, too. I can't imagine they'd be able to bring that stuff to screen without heavy editing, but then it's AMC so who knows.
I had to DVR the premiere - gonna watch it tonight.
-
I watched the pilot and it's interesting. I've never read Preacher, but I've read Crossed and The Boys, so I'm a fan of Garth Ennis' work.
If anyone missed the pilot, they are going to re-air it this Sunday at 9 pm EDT.
-
Yeah, so far I'm liking what they're doing with Preacher. Tulip is a bit more energetic than I remember. But that's probably an improvement.
-
It was a challenge to sit through 90 minutes of I don't know WTF is going on here, but Preacher looks potentially promising. I worry about shows that generate so many questions right off the bat but hopefully they get to it all in time.
I literally cannot understand a single word out of the Irish guy's mouth either. I'm gonna have to watch the re-airing with subtitles...
-

You couldn't understand him in the comic books either. Ennis loves his dense, indecipherable Irish slang. If they continue to stay true to that aspect of the comic, think of him like Brad Pitts' character in Snatch.

Seriously? I've been pretty surprised by just how deep Disney/Marvel Studios have been going with some of their projects, but CLOAK & DAGGER? Really? Should we get ready for a Power Pack series next?!
Yeah. Wow. I've never liked these two in the comics, so not overly excited about this. I had a hard time getting into the Luke Cage series as well. That said, I also never really cared for the Defenders, Daredevil, Dr. Strange, Hulk, or Guardians of the Galaxy and they've done some amazing stuff with those characters. Still, this one feels like teeniebopper WB Twilight more than it does hard core Marvel.
-
Cloak & Dagger? Will Dabney Coleman and Henry Thomas be in it?
-
I've had a few geek friends say they loved this comic as kids, so I'm willing to give it a chance. From the few books I read, I never thought the two of them were in a relationship - just partners. But that was 30 years ago, so who knows.
My daughters watched "Kickin' It" all the time, which means I did by extension. Olivia Holt does have tons of charisma, and some decent karate moves.
-
Should we get ready for a Power Pack series next?!
OMG. The 12-year-old me would DIE for this.

Oh man, a dark and gritty take on classic DCU characters! What a fresh idea... said no one ever. Nice f-bomb, Robin. I'm sure you'll be as edgy as Deadpool if you just keep trying... ::)
I'll just stick with Teen Titans Go! I guess.
I know, I actually had high hopes for this as I really do like the Titans, but I can't say I was super pumped by the trailer. Didn't they learn anything from the reaction to the dark DCU movies? I'm on the fence on whether to give the new streaming service a go, $7.99 a month or $75 for a year. Kind of thought it would be a bit lower. Still holding out hope though, I really like all of the DCTV on the CW, the Flash in particular.
On a side note, as much as everyone groaned when it started out, Teen Titans Go is actually kind of great. Very good with deep cut references and making fun of the DCU in general. First thing a friend of mine said after seeing this trailer "I really hope Teen Titans Go does a reference to this show"

My kids and I love it. Sure parts are dumb, but it's FUN. Beast Boy is the best. I'd much rather watch goofy FUN cartoon Titans than "I'm so dark and angsty" Titans.
I get why they wouldn't want to replicate Arrow/Flash/YoungJustice with this property but it kinda just screams "look, we added an F-bomb because we can!" Not really what I want to see in a Robin character, but more power to those excited by it. Just another example that most of the DCU is just not for me anymore.

That looks like a Direct-to-DVD release. Awful. Reminds me of the Marvel take on New Mutants where its some kind of combo Super-hero/Horror movie. I'll be skipping both.

Huge news that Comcast has pulled their bid for Fox and Disney will now acquire them. I'd say that Galactus is now the next mega-heavy for Marvel.
PLEASE let this mean that we can get a 4K version of the OOT!

I think Disney is far more interested in the Skrulls than in the Fantastic Four. :-X
