ARROW NEWS:

 

  1. 'Arrow' star Rick Gonzalez: 'Wild Dog doesn't love the code name, but he loves the suit' (Date: 02 Nov 2017)
  2. “I did hear that Terry Beatty, the original creator of Wild Dog in the comic books, wasn’t too happy about [the costume upgrade],” Gonzalez says of Beatty’s Facebook post lamenting the makeover. “And I totally get it. It can feel we’re not keeping the integrity of Wild Dog the same, especially by changing his look.” On a practical level, Gonzalez says working with the new outfit has its challenges: “Oh, it’s definitely harder. I need two other people to help me get it on, strap everything on.”

GENERAL DC NEWS

 

  1. Constantine Meets DC’s Legends of Tomorrow InFirst Set Photo (Date: 03 Nov 2017) 
  2. The Legends of Tomorrow have come across some colorful characters during the course of their three-season run. Unfortunately for them, most of those characters have tried to kill them, but they’ll (hopefully) find a new ally in the form of Matt Ryan’s John Constantine. While we’re still awaiting the first hi-res image of Ryan’s chain-smoking anti-hero, series creator Marc Guggenheim has sharedan early look of the Hellblazer hanging out in the Waverider with Ray Palmer.

  1. Legends OfTomorrow: Is This The Last We’ll See Of Captain Cold? (Date: 05 Nov 2017) 
  2. When season three of Legends was announced, we learned that Miller would return again in yet a different variation on Snart. That’s the joy of doing a time travel show. But in a recent Instagram post, Miller put up a thank you letter that makes it sound like this will be his last time in the goggles and parka. The note reads, "Currently shooting some of my final episodes as “Captain Cold/Leonard Snart” on the CW’s LEGENDS OF TOMORROW and THE FLASH…Grateful – now and in advance – to a pair of talented casts and hardworking crews… Thank you…I’ve had a tremendous time playing this character… It’s been an opportunity, an education, and a f-ckingblast…With love and respect. -W.M.

  1. Supergirl: Reign’s Costume Revealed in New Photo (Date: 30Oct 2017) 
  2. Reign has arrived on Supergirl. The CW has just revealed a first look at the Season 3 big bad in her costume, which serves as a dark mirror to the Girl of Steel’s own. Befitting of any villain, Reign’s costume is completely black, though it seems to be made of the same material as Supergirl’s She also has a shield on her chest, but it contains a skull instead of the House of El’s“S” symbol. However, that’s where the similarities end; Reign’s costume is far more armored, with bladed gauntlets, shoulder protection and a pointed metal hair piece.
