Gotham is about to get an “heroic” dose of villainy! Former Heroes alum Milo Ventimiglia is on his way to our favorite Batman-less city as Jason Lennon aka “The Ogre,” a serial killer looking for love.

Ventimiglia will have a several-episode arc on the FOX TV series that will pit him against our local hometown hero, Jim Gordon (Ben McKenzie). Jim’s villain cup is overflowing, so what is one more. I’m wondering if he will join the Penguin/Falcone/Fish/Maroni (Robin Lord Taylor/John Doman/Jada Pinkett Smith/David Zayas) arc, or the Wayne murder arc…..or…you get where I’m going? This is such a rich universe. He may get his own arc, however, with Barbara (Erin Richards) out in the cold, wouldn’t it be great if she gets caught up with Jason Lennon and Jim has to save her? Sorry Morena Baccharin! It’s in the lore!

Just a quick reminder for those of you who have been anxiously awaiting the next TV show from Frank Darabont, the former showrunner of AMC’s The Walking Dead who was fired from the position, that it premieres on TNT tonight at 9 p.m. EST.

The show, titled Mob City, is set in post-World War II Los Angeles, with some of the same characters seen in the video game L.A. Noire and the recent movie Gangster Squad.

After being credited as creator of the hit AMC series The Walking Dead and acting as showrunner for a short while, Frank Darabont was fired and moved on to a new project. This new project was set up with TNT, and was known at the time as L.A. Noir. Not L.A. Noire the video game, but based on the book L.A. Noir: The Struggle for the Soul of America’s Most Seductive City by John Buntin.

Since then the show has changed its name to Lost Angels, cast people like Walking Dead star Jon Bernthal, and changed the title again, this time to Mob City.

Now a first trailer has been released for the show, which is set to premiere on December 4th, and you can watch it below.

Having been able to attend both the SXSW Film Festival and the Cannes Film Festival this year, there have been many films to qualify as true-blue surprises in the eyes of this writer. Be it the brilliance of Aki Kaurismaki’s Le Havre or the terror-induced by Insidious, it has been a relatively eventful year. However, one of the biggest surprises came from one of the film world’s most maligned genre experts.

I got the chance to see Xavier Gens’ (Hitman) latest film, The Divide at SXSW this year, and it quickly became one of my favorite genre pieces this year. And now, the world, thanks to Anchor Bay, will not only get to see this shockingly great, if intensely brooding, bit of apocalyptic filmmaking, but see in its original state.

Marvel Television announced today the casting of two former Heroes actors for their two new anime series Iron Man and Wolverine.

Adrian Pasdar, who starred as Nathan Petrelli, a human with superhuman powers on the NBC drama Heroes, will voice the character Tony Stark in Iron Man, an all-new series which sees Stark travel to Japan and battle the evil Zodiac Organization.

Milo Ventimiglia, who played Pasdar’s super-powered on-screen brother on Heroes, will voice the title role in Wolverine, as Logan claws his way through Japan’s criminal underworld.
