The first issue of DC Universe: Rebirth is due out next week, and spoilers are already circulating on the internet; if you hate spoilers, then be very careful about what you read. Now Newsarama has a preview of the issue, and be warned that it is utterly full of spoilers. If you’re okay with those, go check it out and see the details discussed behind the jump.
The CW has announced a mega-crossover between The Flash, Arrow, Legends Of Tomorrow, and Supergirl in December. There are no details about the story or schedule yet (it’s obviously a long way away), but it should be fun and will expand the CW’s DC universe. It’d be nice if they could bring back John Constantine again too, although that might be a little trickier given its cancellation and rights belonging to a different network.
Newsarama reports that the CW will be airing Supergirl in the Monday 8-9 PM timeslot, so fortunately nothing changes schedule-wise for that show.
Are you intrigued by the crossover? What would you like to see in it?
Here’s the extended trailer for the season finale of The Flash, which will air next week. Make sure you watch this week’s episode before seeing the promo (it contains spoilers)!
Should be an intense episode, as is befitting a finale. What do you hope to see in it? Share your thoughts!
HOLY CRAP! That’s not how I usually start a review, but if you aren’t saying something similar after THIS episode of THE FLASH, I don’t know what show you are watching. This is the penultimate episode of Season 2, and I cannot think of a better way to absolutely guarantee you will be there for the finale than what happens this week. There are so many things to say…after the jump!
