  • First ‘Superman and Lois’ Trailer Released

    First ‘Superman and Lois’ Trailer Released

    CW has been making some curious changes lately. The Arrowverse seemed to be facing a shift, as many long-term shows were getting canceled. They even decided not to move forward with the Arrow spin-off Green Arrow and the Canaries. Black Lightning and Supergirl are also on their way out, which may signal a new direction. DC has been focusing a lot on adding to HBO Max’s line-up, which may be a reason for this reshuffling. It isn’t the end of an era, as CW has a brand new DC show on the horizon. The CW has greenlit a brand new series titled Superman & Lois. It will focus on the Man of Steel trying to juggle his responsibilities as a hero and taking care of his children. After a long wait, we finally got a first look trailer at the upcoming series, which you can check out here:

    The trailer looks very promising. Clark trying to balance his family and superhero life makes for a great premise. Tyler Hoechlin and Elizabeth Tulloch are perfect choices for the CW’s version of the iconic power couple. The series is set within the Arrowverse continuity, so we might see Supergirl or other heroes could make an appearance throughout the season. We already got the tease that David Ramsey’s John Diggle was going to return, and he also directed an episode for the show. The first trailer certainly teases a great new addition to the Arrowverse line-up. We will see how crazy things get as Clark tries to regain some kind of normalcy.

  • David Ramsey Returns to CW’s Arrowverse as John Diggle and a Mystery Character

    David Ramsey Returns to CW’s Arrowverse as John Diggle and a Mystery Character

    Since the dawn of the Arrowverse, alongside Oliver Queen was his trusted confidant and partner in crime David Ramsey‘s John Diggle. Throughout the series, Diggle would come to take up the mantle of Spartan and became a permanent member of Team Arrow, as he joined Oliver in his crusade across Star City. Towards the end of the recent mega-crossover Crisis on Infinite Earths, we last saw Diggle packing up his things and moving to Metropolis. Shortly before he made his way to a new home, he came into contact with what looked to be Green Lantern Ring. For years it had become a running tease that Diggle would assume the role of a Green Lantern but never came to be but seems all the more likely now.

    It looks like David Ramsey will be returning to the Arrowverse to direct and reprise his role as John Diggle in multiple episodes across the network lineup of DC-based series. He will return to direct episodes of The Flash, Superman and Lois, Supergirl, Batwoman, and even Legends of Tomorrow. Not just that, Ramsey will also be playing a mystery role in his episode on Legends of Tomorrow. Most fans could easily conclude that his role will be that of a Sector-2814 Green Lantern, especially after the tease his story ended on.

    While we may not know until he officially returns on screen, it would be great to finally see Diggle assume the title once the Arrowverse makes its long-awaited return in 2021. The Arrowverse suffered some big hits this year. Every production got a delay, and then news broke that fan-favorite shows Supergirl and Black Lightning would come to an end. All this right after the show that started it all officially ended with its eight-season. Perhaps the return of Diggle might be a new beginning for the franchise in the new year.

  • ‘SUPERGIRL’ To End With Season 6

    ‘SUPERGIRL’ To End With Season 6

    Following a cliffhanger ending to its fifth season, Supergirl is set to make one final flight in 2021. The show is set to end with the conclusion of its upcoming sixth season. It is set to begin production later this month and will consist of 20 episodes. As a result of the pandemic, the last season had to end production early, so this will be a direct continuation. It is unclear if Mellissa Benoist or David Harewood will have a future with the establishment of the Justice League but it seems likely. It’ll be interesting to see how they wrap up the series and what it means for the Arrowverse overall. Benoist recent tweet on the cancelation may be an indicator that Supergirl won’t be sticking around.

    The show first premiered on CBS but moved to CW for its second season. There it became a staple in the channels comic book line-up. It followed Kara Zor-El, the long lost cousin of Kal-El. She was lost in the Phantom Zone before she eventually landed on earth and taking up the mantle of Supergirl. Eventually, she would make up one-third of the universes trinity alongside Green Arrow and The Flash. The conclusion was confirmed by Berlanti Productions on Tuesday.

    This news doesn’t feel all that shocking due to the development of Superman and Lois. It is planned to follow the post-crisis life of Clark and Lois who now, as a result of Crisis, have two teenage sons. They’ve also moved back to Smallville where Clark will learn to balance the life of hero and a father. Superman and Lois will be joining The Flash, Legends of Tomorrow, Black Lightning, and Batwoman. The latter’s second season will introduce us to Javicia Leslie, who will take up the mantle of Batwoman following Ruby Rose’s exit.

    Supergirl stars Melissa Benois, David Harewood, Chyler Leigh, Katie Mcgrath, Jesse Rath, Nicole Maines, and Jon Cryer
