IGN caught up with David Goyer and asked about the possibilities of tying The CW television series in with the DC Cinematic Universe and this is what he said:



"I mean, it's too early. I know that Warner Bros. would love to make their universe more cohesive. There have been a lot of general conversations about that, but it's really, really early. I'm not sure. Marvel has had enormous success, but I'm not sure that everybody should try to emulate them either. It's just been vague conversations so far."

Gal Gadot was spotted on a stroll with her trainer in Israel before she reortedly left for Detroit, Michigan to film the Man of Steel sequel! Click here to see all more photos!



I have to chuckle at people who say she needs to put on 20 lbs of muscle in order to play a fictional character. It;s not like she's been cast to play Chyna, the wrestler or Nicole Bass and aside from The Flashpoint Paradox movie, I don't recall Wondr Woman ever being really jacked or that muscular. Besides, her power doesnt come from her muscles anyways, it was bestowed upon her from the Gods.


Batman-News reports they have some possible shooting locations in Detriot for the Man of Steel sequel. Cleck here to read about it!

Casting call for the Man of Steel sequel April 27 from 11AM to 3PM at Somerset Inn on West Big Beaver Road in Troy, Michigan. Click here for more details!


I asked the DC Movies! page if Warner Bros. rebooted Jonah Hex, who would they like to see in the title role?



Here are the top 5 results:

1. Thomas Jane
2. Josh Brolin (despite the reboot)
3. Woody Harrelson
4. Timothy Olyphant
5. Clint Eastwood


I think I should end this article with a little cosplay, so here's Breathless_ness as Rockabilly Catwoman, photographed by Pireze.

^ WB could have had that success, they've been sitting on gold for a long long time, not having even one DC movie at the cinema this year is a huge mistake.

Still so far they are waaay ahead on the live-action TV shows front and animation, but with Marvel's Netflix and S.H.I.E.L.D getting much much better and these other shows too, wont be long before Marvels up there with em', that's awesome for all of us!

Gal looks fantastic.
People saying she's still too skinny are insane. Do they not see how much thicker her arms, legs and neck have gotten? As well as how broad her shoulders are? And for a model who has spent her entire career maintaining a painfully thin physique it's a huge achievement.

She looks practical and plus, she doesn't need to look like a raging steroid user because WW is mystically blessed with super strength.

Thicker... but still small if you ask me.

Don't be afraid to reread and edit your article before posting.

How much of this is new news?

Gadot does need to get more shapely. Twenty is a lot of muscle to put on a woman. Ten or more will make any woman look very well built.
