Despite rumors that he was attached to star in The Green Lantern Corps, Chris Pine has been confirmed to star opposite Gal Gadot in Wonder Woman. The actor was in negotiations to have a role in the film earlier this summer.

While the film has had its ups and downs in the past, the casting is a huge step forward. More on the story below.

Marvel has dominated the entertainment world in the past decade with it’s MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe), including blockbusters like the Avengers films and Guardians of the Galaxy, while DC has been a distant also-ran. But this year at SDCC, DC is building serious momentum for a run at toppling Marvel on top the comics foodchain. Kind of appropriate that the middle letters of SDCC are “DC” as we saw the new Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice trailer, footage of the Suicide Squad, and panels for their three hit TV shows, Gotham, Arrow and The Flash… did I say three… soon to be four as Arrow and Flash characters will spinoff into DC’s Legends of Tomorrow debuting in 2016.

Check out the incredible video below.

DC Collectibles just created my Christmas list as they unveiled the new line of collectibles at San Diego Comic-Con! In addition to the meticulously crafted DC Comics Icons and Designer Series figures, they have ones from The New Batman Adventures and Batman: The Animated Series (including Ra’s al Ghul). But wait! There’s more!

Watch the product reveal video as well as the awesome commercial below.

Yay! The CW obviously takes my advice and has renewed iZombie for a second season!

Debuting in March amidst a lot of buzz, iZombie has been a solid show, helped by the lead-in of the wildly popular Arrow spinoff, The Flash on Tuesday nights.

In celebration of the 75th Anniversary of Batman and the upcoming film Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, DC Entertainment has created a montage wall at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con featuring pictures old and new of the Dark Knight.

On said wall there now exists a brand new one photo revealed specifically for this event. It’s a profile shot of Ben Affleck from Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice in the newest incarnation of the classic cowl we all know and love. The matte black of the mask and the unshaven chin give this Caped Crusader a very grisly look, reminiscent of some of Frank Miller’s darker renderings. Looking a bit worn around the edges, I’m beginning to think Affleck might do well in his role. Time will tell. No doubt there will be more movie news as SDCC 2014 continues. But until then, check this new photo out here below.
