Will James Gunn’s DC Move Forward With Superman Spin-Offs & Eventual Justice League Reboot? ( Photo Credit – Facebook )

The Justice League may soon return, but James Gunn’s DC Universe seems to be taking a careful path toward that goal. With the new Superman movie starring David Corenswet now in theaters, DC Studios is laying down the early pieces of its new shared universe, which Gunn has dubbed “Gods and Monsters.” This film is the first chapter, but far from the whole picture.

This super pup was meant for the big screen.

James Gunn had a blink-and-you-miss plot moment in Superman that was bold, hilarious, and a meta clapback to his loudest critics. He didn’t just reboot the Man of Steel, but also the entire narrative around the DC Universe, and that also includes the haters. We can all agree that at times, some members of a fandom can turn into toxic and brainless folks who spew venom.

David Corenswet had to face loads of backlash because Henry Cavill was no longer the last son of Krypton. And James Gunn’s Dcu at large was being doubted, with many netizens trash-talking over it, but it seems like he might have shut their mouths once and for all, not just through the movie’s excellent outcome, but also a specific scene.

The scene in question...

James Gunn‘s Superman is receiving a lot of praise from DC fans, and not just because of David Corenswet. That’s right, it’s Mister Terrific who has stolen the spotlight this time, with one scene that makes it quite obvious why he definitely deserves his own show. In the movie, when Superman is trapped in a pocket universe by Lex Luthor, it’s Mister Terrific, played by Edi Gathegi, who jumps into action.

For this, he joins forces with Lois Lane and uses his sharp mind and, of course, cool gadgets to pull off a daring rescue. This sequence shows just how important and capable he is, and after watching, it’s quite easy for me to see why James Gunn sees spinoff potential. Let’s dive deeper!

James Gunn May Be Turning Mister Terrific’s Superman Cameo Into a Full-Fledged Series Edi Gathegi in a still from...

Superman director and DC Studios co-ceo James Gunn has confirmed that there are a number of Dcu projects both in various stages of development and still in the idea phase that were not named during the initial "Gods and Monsters" slate announcement, and we may now know what two of them are.

According to a piece by The Wall Street Journal, Superman spin-off shows focusing on Mr. Terrific (Edi Gathegi) and Jimmy Olsen (Skyler Gisondo) are "being considered." Whether this means they are actively being developed is not clear, but there's a chance Gunn is waiting to see how the characters are received in the movie before making a decision.

Mr. Terrific may not seem like the most obvious character to get his own series, but he actually emerges as a major standout of Superman, and of the three members of the Justice Gang, plays the most important part in the story.

Earlier this week, our Eic Chris Bumbray reviewed Superman and was relatively cool on it. Check out his review Here, but here’s another take on the movie from our man Tyler Nichols! Which one do you agree with? Let us know in the comments!

Plot: Superman must reconcile his alien Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing as reporter Clark Kent. As the embodiment of truth, justice and the human way he soon finds himself in a world that views these as old-fashioned.

Review: Superman has proven to be a hard nut to crack in the cinema, so it’s exciting to see a new iteration trying again, this time launching a whole new DC Universe. With James Gunn at the helm, it was always clear there’d be plenty of comic book love involved. But there’s always been the question of whether Gunn’s sensibilities would mesh well...

Warner Bros. has been trying for years to make their DC Comics movies as big as Marvel’s hits, but nothing really took off. Now, they’re hoping a new Superman movie will change everything. This movie, written and directed by James Gunn, is more than just a reboot, it’s the start of a whole new DC movie universe.

James Gunn, who is also running DC Studios along with producer Peter Safran, is leading this fresh attempt. Warner Bros. CEO David Zaslav has made it clear this is a huge deal for the company. He even said DC could be “one of the biggest value creation opportunities for us” and a real “game changer.”

The goal is for the new Superman movie to earn over $500 million worldwide and set the stage for many more movies and shows to come.

What makes this reboot special is that Gunn is not just directing Superman,...

Superman is still a few hours away from hitting thousands of theatres in the U.S., but its Los Angeles premiere on Monday night has already brought in some genuine early reviews. And, among them all, one of the greatest highlights is unarguably Edi Gathegi’s Mr. Terrific.

Though the reviews in general are expected to hit the internet tomorrow, the mostly positive reactions from the press, influencers, and media are underlining Gathegi’s epic performance as the superhero. Like the review from @tytheanimator on X, which said,

DC is going to have to do with Terrific what Marvel failed to do for T’Challa. Terrific was 100% a star in Superman!

And while that’s some strong praise,...

You will believe that a man can fly... to the Academy Awards.

After months of pre-release hype, James Gunn's highly anticipated Superman relaunch — which introduces David Corenswet as the Man of Steel — is landing in theaters on July 11. Fan reactions from early screenings have been largely out of this world, while critics' takes range from the enthusiastic to the Kryptonite-tinged. Attention has also been laser-focused on the film's opening weekend box-office prospects as a harbinger for both the future of the DC Comics cinematic universe and superhero cinema in general.

Gunn himself addressed the box-office question in a recent GQ interview, saying: "[People] hear these numbers that the movie’s only going to be successful if it makes $700 million or something and it’s just complete and utter nonsense. It doesn’t need to be as big of a situation as people are saying."

When it comes to the awards race,...

Superman soars. For a long time, DC Studios didn’t quite know what to do with the Big Blue Boy Scout, judging that Superman’s values don’t always gel with the gritty, darker times of today. That’s how we got the Snyderverse, making Superman into something that he wasn’t. Granted, that’s been the issue in adapting the character ever since Joe Shuster and Jerry Siegel came up with the immigrant alien who wants to help humanity.

But James Gunn knew the score, just as Richard Donner did before him – Superman is the constant, and it’s only the times that change. For Superman to stay relevant, one only needs to understand that the principles of the character never shift because those ideals make Superman into the steadfast hero who has stood the test of time for more than 80 years.

You don’t want to mess with...

People have finally set their eyes on James Gunn’s much-anticipated Superman movie, and the reviews are overwhelmingly positive. After the Los Angeles premiere on Monday night, movie critics, influencers, and other members of the media made their feelings on the movie known on social media.

Superman is out on July 11 worldwide, this Thursday. It features David Corenswet as the man in blue and red. Rachel Brosnahan plays Lois Lane, Nicholas Hoult is Lex Luthor, Skyler Gisondo is Jimmy Olsen, Isabela Merced is Hawkgirl, Beck Bennett is Steve Lombard, Anthony Carrigan is Metamorpho, Edi Gathegi is Mr. Terrific, and Nathan Fillion is Guy Gardner.

The early reactions praise the story, the cast, and the direction, but most importantly, the way the movie wears its heart on its sleeve.

Fandango’s Erik Davis called Superman a “perfect superhero movie” and a “terrific start for the new DC Studios.” He added that...

There are a lot of ongoing series in every comic book company. In between working, school, and attempting to have a social life, it may be difficult to catch up on a series that's 12 or more issues in. There are only so many hours in the day. Thankfully, some titles are just getting started.

This article will highlight the titles that are just beginning and have a bright future in the comic book world. Plus, since they’re no more than three issues in, you have time to catch up before too many issues come out.

When Superman first revealed the “Justice Gang,” many fans – you know who you were – immediately broke out in hives and ridiculed the name to death. The latest short teaser for James Gunn’s upcoming Dcu live-action opener has made sure to address this and prove that Gunn is a master manipulator when it comes to riling up an audience that just won’t wait until they see the full movie to complain about it.

Superman has had several trailers and TV spots released, all giving small glimpses at what fans can expect when they buy their tickets for one of this summer’s biggest movies. However, trailers are also very easy to misinterpret or can easily be edited in a way that makes viewers react in a certain way that gets everyone talking about a film – for better or worse. That has been the case with several elements of Superman,...

The DC Universe is getting a bold refresh under James Gunn and Peter Safran, kicking off with the ‘Creature Commandos’ (2024) animated series and the upcoming ‘Superman’ (2025) film. This new era, called Chapter 1: Gods and Monsters, promises a connected world across movies, TV, and games, pulling from DC Comics’ rich history.

We’re thrilled to see how Gunn’s vision reintroduces familiar heroes, including eight iconic characters from the Arrowverse, the CW’s decade-long TV universe. These heroes, who shaped DC storytelling with crossovers like ‘Crisis on Infinite Earths’, are getting fresh versions in the Dcu. Let’s dive into who’s making the leap and what we can expect.

Superman Warner Bros.

The Man of Steel is the cornerstone of the Dcu, with David Corenswet taking on the role of Clark Kent in ‘Superman’ (2025). Unlike the Arrowverse’s Tyler Hoechlin, who starred in ‘Supergirl’ (2015-2021) and ‘Superman & Lois’ (2020-...

Anticipation of James Gunn'sSupermancontinues to brew ahead of its summer release, and DC Universe fans are eager to see the upcoming iteration. Among its star-studded cast, which includes David Corenswet as the titular character, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, is Edi Gathegi, who will make history as the first actor to portray Michael Holt, Aka Mister Terrific, in a live-action cinematic feature. Michael Holt/Mister Terrific is consistently depicted as one of the most intelligent characters in the DC Universe, holding 14 PhDs and being a self-made tech millionaire with "Third Level Intellect." While Mister Terrific's cerebral power is his greatest strength, he is also an Olympic gold medalist in the decathlon.

During an appearance on the DC Studios Showcase Podcast, Gathegi spoke about how prepared to play a character that "can do anything." Gathegi explained that taking on a role as accomplished as Mister...

Superman star Edi Gathegi unveiled the physical and mental process he underwent to become Michael Holt/Mister Terrific. The actor will be the first to play the hero in a live-action theatrical project, marking a huge milestone for the character. Mister Terrific previously appeared in several animated and television projects, including the Arrowverse, in which Echo Kellum portrayed him. In addition to Gathegi, Superman stars David Corenswet, Nicholas Hoult, Rachel Brosnahan, Nathan Fillion, Isabela Merced, Sara Sampaio, Wendell Pierce, Skylar Gisondo, and Frank Grillo, among others.

In an appearance on the DC Studios Showcase Podcast, Gathegi addressed the challenges of playing a character like Mister Terrific, who is both physically and mentally a powerhouse. When asked about his preparation for the role, the actor joked: "Well, as you know, Mr. Terrific has 14 PhDs... So my preparation was to learn my lines." He then continued:

You just can't really enter the...

Edi Gathegi, the actor playing Mister Terrific in the new Superman movie, recently confirmed something pretty exciting about his T-shaped mask. In the most recent episode of DC Studios Showcase: Official Podcast, he saidthe mask isn’t just a prop, it’s made of nanotechnology. And yes, that lines up perfectly with the comics.

At one point in the interview, Frankey Smith referred to Mister Terrific’s mask as “face paint.” Gathegi was quick to correct it: “It’s not paint, it’s nanotechnology”

Through this, Gathegi confirmed his costume is more than just a piece of leather. It’s a smart, high-tech tool built from microscopic machines, nanotech that he designed in the story. Its inner workings basically turn the mask into a small computer.

That’s not just movie talk; it’s straight from the Mister Terrific comics.

DC Studios just dropped six high-res posters showing off David Corenswet as Superman, Alan Tudyk as Robot #4, Nathan Fillion’s Guy Gardner, Isabela Merced’s Hawkgirl, Anthony Carrigan’s Metamorpho, Edi Gathegi’s Mr. Terrific and Krypto looking ready to fetch justice. No posters yet for Lois Lane, Lex Luthor or Jimmy Olsen, but James Gunn’s “Hold your horses” response to one impatient fan makes it clear that they’re coming soon. Gunn also just dropped a bone for Superman fans, confirming that everyone’s favourite superpowered pupper, Krypto, will star in his own animated shorts after the movie lands in theatres. “If we got an animated spin-off series of Krypto alone, I’d be happy,” wrote one fan on X. Gunn’s reply was short and simple: “You’re in luck.” But that’s not exactly new news. “We’ve got these cool little Krypto shorts that are so fun,...

Superman will introduce a whole host of new heroes and villains to the Dcu. Some of them, like Isabela Merced's Hawkgirl, Edi Garthegi's Mr. Terrific, and David Corenswet's titular Man of Steel, feature incredible costumes, hairstyling, and wardrobe design. But one of the film's most powerful heroes has been the target of backlash from some fans. Nathan Fillion will play Guy Gardner, one of Earth's Green Lanterns, in Superman. Unlike Hal Jordan (Kyle Chandler) and John Stewart (Aaron Pierre), who are seen as more sensible and stoic characters, Gardner airs a little bit more on the rebellious and silly side, and has the haircut to prove it. Gardner's bowl cut has been at the center of some controversy, and Fillion is defending the goofy hairdo in the new film.

Nathan Fillion recently appeared alongside his Superman co-star, Isabela Merced, on Max's DC Studios Showcase Official Podcast to promote the upcoming film.

This May, DC Comics is bringing back the origin story of one of its most brilliant heroes in Mr. Terrific: Year One. The six-issue limited series explores the life of Michael Holt, a genius inventor and Olympic champion whose life takes a dark turn after a personal tragedy.

Written by Peabody Award-winning journalist and TV writer Al Letson, the series marks his return to DC Comics since his debut in 2017. Letson teams up with acclaimed artist Valentine De Landro, colorist Marissa Louise, and letterer Lucas Gattoni to bring this story to life.

Plus, Edwin Galmon will add his unique touch to present-day scenes that play a key role in the narrative.

However, in a recent interview, Letson revealed that his limited series had a different origin in his mind. He originally pitched Mr. Terrific: Year One as a TV series pilot.

James Gunn's Superman is one of the most anticipated films of the summer and is intended to kick off the new DC Universe (Dcu) series of films. The brand-new continuity has already technically gotten its start with the Max original animated series, Creature Commandos, which premiered on the streaming platform last December. Still, this will be the first feature film and will undoubtedly set a precedent for what fans can expect from the new DC studios. Plenty of new heroes and characters will be introduced in Superman, and one of the more anticipated ones is Mr. Terrific.

Now, to celebrate the anniversary of Mr. Terrific's debut in DC comics, James Gunn took to Instagram to share a new behind-the-scenes photo of himself with the actor who portrays Mr. Terrific in the film, Edi Gathegi. Superman will be the live-action debut of the character, which James Gunn has proclaimed to...

James Gunn has given fans a new look at Edi Gathegi as Mr. Terrific in the upcoming Dcu film, Superman. The movie hits theaters on July 11.

Gunn's photo, posted to Instagram, shows the two together on the set of Superman, with Gathegi in full costume as Mr. Terrific. Gunn captioned the post with a birthday message for the actor, who is celebrating his 46th birthday today. "Happy Birthday to my great friend and great actor @iamedigathegi, who you can see in all his technological glory in #Superman in July!"

Gathegi will join David Corenswet as Superman, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor in James Gunn's upcoming reboot of the DC Universe film franchise. The film will explore the Man of Steel's journey as he learns more about his Kryptonian heritage while living with his adoptive family in Smallville, Kansas. Gathegi plays Michael Holt...

James Gunn's Superman trailer included a beautiful tribute to John Williams' iconic theme, but I hope Gunn doesn't ignore another composer who has an important role in Superman's DC legacy. 1978's Superman: The Movie is arguably the birth of the superhero genre. Christopher Reeve's live-action version of Superman made viewers believe a man could fly, and the film is still seen as a landmark of cinematic spectacle. One of the film's most memorable aspects is its excellent score, created by Williams, adding to his legendary discography.

His theme is still synonymous with the hero almost 50 years later. It was reused in 2006's Superman Returns and an essential part of Superman's first trailer. However, it wasn't used in 2013's Man of Steel, as Zack Snyder's films in the Dceu timeline had a different tone than the Richard Donner Superman films. Hans Zimmer composed the score for Man of Steel,...

DC's initial attempt at a live-action cinematic universe, the Dceu, was an underwhelming endeavor. Although there were a handful of films released under the Dceu banner that were worthy of critical acclaim, the cinematic universe was largely disjointed and erratic. During its decade-long duration, the Dceu dwelled in the shadows of the prosperous MCU and failed to reach its own immense potential. Eager to restore the cinematic integrity of its beloved comic characters, Warner Bros. Discovery announced in October 2022 that filmmakers James Gunn and Peter Safran would spearhead DC Studios, a newly created production entity that will oversee DC properties. Supplanting the maligned Dceu, Gunn's Dcu plans to create a thrilling, interconnected universe that bridges DC's mightiest heroes (and villains) together across film and television. While the Dcu technically began with the animated series Creature Commandos, its true genesis is tied to the release of the 2025 blockbuster Superman.

The first trailer for DC Studios' Superman confirmed the superpowers Edi Gathegi's Mr. Terrific will utilize upon arrival in the Dcu. 

Superman's marketing campaign is officially underway with a new synopsis along with the first full trailer for the July 2025 superhero blockbuster. Following a short teaser, fans got a glimpse at David Corenswet's Man of Steel along with his classic love interest, Rachel Brosnahan's Lois Lane, and other major players.

Also seen sporadically were the other superheroes who already inhabit the Dcu upon its debut, including the first takes on Green Lantern, Hawkgirl, and Metamorpho.

Superman is at a low point when audiences first glimpse him in the trailer for his new movie. Bloody and bruised, he crash lands in a frozen landscape. His breathing is labored, like he’s got fluid in his lungs, or maybe some broken ribs.

Then, there is hope on the horizon — in the form of his trusty friend, Krypto. “Take me home,” Superman says to his canine friend, later in the trailer (below).

It’s one of only two spoken lines in the piece — the other is a young boy, eyes closed and holding a makeshift flag who mutters “Superman, Superman” in desperate hope — but it’s a line that points to a hope writer-director James Gunn wanted to imbue his new film.

Created in 1938, Superman for decades embodied his motto, “Truth, Justice and the American Way,” with the character serving as a symbol for the good things America could represent for the world.

The first trailer for James Gunn's Superman will drop on Thursday, December 19, begging the question of what exact time it will be released. As the first official movie of the Dcu's Chapter One, Superman has a lot riding on its shoulders. Not only is it promising to be a return to the form for the character after the Dceu's more divisive take on the Man of Steel, but it is also the first step of a larger story. While Creature Commandos is currently airing on Max, James Gunn's Superman movie is touted as the true beginning of the Dcu.

After years of teasing via the cast announcements for Superman, the first look at the film is almost here. In December 2024, Gunn took to social media to unveil an official poster for the film that also promoted the first teaser trailer for Superman, revealing that it will be released on...

James Gunn has now confirmed that we will see more than one character from the Creature Commandos animated series in the upcoming Superman reboot.

We already knew that Frank Grillo is set to appear as Rick Flag Sr. after the actor was spotted with the captive Man of Steel (David Corenswet) in set photos, but who else could potentially make their live-action Dcu debut in the movie?

There's a decent chance Viola Davis will reprise her The Suicide Squad role as Amanda Waller, and there's a lot of speculation that Circe (Anya Chalotra) could make her presence felt following the events of Creature Commandos' two-episode premiere.

When asked if we could see Chalotra play the powerful sorceress on the big screen in a recent interview, Gunn responded: "There's definitely a chance Circe exists in other media."

As for that elusive first trailer, Gunn still hasn't given us much of an...

2025 is set to be a significant year for the Dcu, which is built on the foundations of the former Dceu. Although Creature Commandos will be the first release, both James Gunn and Peter Safran have emphasized that the upcoming Superman movie marks the true beginning of the Dcu.

While details about the plot remain scarce, set leaks and official announcements reveal an impressive cast. Notably, Gunn has “borrowed” several actors from rival Marvel projects.

As a result, we’ve compiled a summary of all the ‘Superman’ actors who have previously appeared in Marvel projects.

1. Frank Grillo – Rick Flag Sr (Dcu) / Crossbones (MCU)

Frank Grillo is best known for his role as the villain Crossbones in Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Captain America: Civil War, and Avengers: Endgame. The actor has openly admitted that he nearly got fired by Marvel multiple times for leaking information.

Superman writer-director James Gunn recently celebrated the anniversary of Michael Holt/Mister Terrific, who, of course, will be in the Man of Steel's newest cinematic outing. But that's not the only delight that the filmmaker shared.

"27 years ago today the modern Mr. Terrific (Michael Holt) appeared for the first time in DC Comics," Gunn avowed in a post on Instagram. "In a wonderful coincidence this happened to fall on a day when his co-creator, my friend John Ostrander, was visiting the Superman set! His co-creator was Tom Mandrake. Mr. Terrific is being played by [Edi Gathegi] in our film." Aside from the photo of him and Ostrander, Gunn's post also included a picture of Mister Terrific himself, which came from his first appearance in 1997's Spectre #54, which preceded the aforementioned photo.

Bizarro uses baffling verb tense to wreck space-time in The Terrifics.

Gene Luen Yang made our Best Comics of 2019 list for Superman Smashes the Klan, and it is an incredible Superman comic. It's already one of my all-time favorites. I can't wait for it to wrap and come out in a digest I can pass on to newer readers in my life. But if you factor in degree of difficulty, I think his work on The Terrifics might actually be better.

First of all, the last several issues have been written with healthy doses of Bizarro-speak. Trying to reverse dialogue on its own is difficult enough, but when we talked to him about Superman Smashes the Klan earlier this year, Bizarro came up and Yang told us something terrifying: "...There's no established rules for Bizarro speak."

That's right. There's no established house rule for how to translate normal conversation into Bizarro.

When it comes to major costume alterations found in the Arrowverse, I think we as the viewers tend to focus more on the headliners than the supporting characters. Really, whenever Green Arrow or the Flash don a new suit, it’s the talk of the town. I’d like to say the same about Supergirl, but she’s been wearing the same threads since she’s arrived on the scene – barring doppelgangers like Overgirl and Red Daughter, of course.

Still, heads do turn whenever, say, Spartan or Mr. Terrific get an upgrade. But when you think about it, characters like Arsenal, Vibe and the Atom tend to stick to their tried and true. I think that’s one thing that allows Killer Frost to stand out: her look never goes stale.

When we first met the frosty fatale, it was actually in the form of her Earth-2 counterpart. But later...

From VancouverFilm.Net Sneak Peek new Season 7 images from "Arrow", revealing a distressed look for actress Emily Bett Rickards as 'Felicity Smoak', wife of 'Green Arrow', premiering October 15, 2018 on The CW:

"...'Oliver' is jailed at 'Slabside' prison, having to deal with all the creeps he helped put away as 'Green Arrow'.

"His wife 'Felicity Smoak', suffering from a recent head injury, reverts beck to her identity as a pink-haired goth' rocker...

"...complete with nose and eyebrow piercings in a look she had before she ever got involved with Oliver and 'Team Arrow'..."

Cast also includes David Ramsey as 'John Diggle', Rick Gonzalez as 'Wild Dog', Echo Kellum as 'Mr. Terrific', Juliana Harkavy as 'Black Canary' and Katie Cassidy as 'Black Siren'.

"...in the shocking season six finale of 'Arrow', 'Oliver Queen' (Stephen Amell) not only reveals himself to 'Star City' as 'The Green Arrow', but...

Though Arrow has played host to a wealth of characters taken from the comics such as Black Canary, Arsenal, Mr. Terrific, the Atom and the Emerald Archer himself, it’s also injected new personalities into the mythos throughout its run. In fact, this is a familiar practice for TV shows in the genre, lest we forget that Chloe Sullivan and Lionel Luthor were unknown quantities before Smallville came around.

Before the series debuted in 2012, one could imagine Oliver Queen existing without the likes of John Diggle or Felicity Smoak orbiting him, but now it just seems downright impossible to do so. Given that, lead actor Stephen Amell hopes these additions to the enduring tale stick around long after he’s hung up his leather hood, saying the following in an interview with The Music Australia:

“One of the things that I’m most proud about is that, 25 years from now,...

In the past, I’ve likened the current season of Arrow to pro wrestling, due to its emphasis on factions and their splitting. Already, we’ve seen the team fracture down the center, with the newbies and old guard going about their separate ways. Of course, Diggle going off and doing his own thing doesn’t help matters, as Oliver Queen seems alone now more than ever.

Strengthening my allegory will be April 26th’s episode, which is titled “Shifting Allegiances.”Of course, there’s no way to pin down exactly how that portentous term will be applied, but the newly surfaced synopsis provides a few hints:

Oliver turns to an old friend to help battle Diaz; Rene is out of the hospital but has a hard time readjusting to life as Wild Dog; Lance discovers something shocking about Black Siren.

Having read that, “Shifting Allegiances” could be referring to...

In recent years, journalists and fans alike have kept their eyes affixed to DC’s YouTube channel, especially because their daily web series, DC All Access, often drops major news about the brand’s latest happenings across all forms of media. Unfortunately, it’s been largely absent for a couple months, but has thankfully made an unexpected return.

Admittedly, it’d have been preferable to see the show’s comeback three weeks ago when the wealth of midseason premieres were kicking off, but better late than never, right?

Getting back on track, the first “#Dctv ” video in some time features valuable information regarding this week’s episodes of Supergirl, Black Lightning and Arrow, including some educational comic book connections.

Spoiler Warning: This article contains major spoilers for “We Fall,” the latest episode of Arrow.

Arrow just namedropped another DC superhero team: the Outsiders. In “We Fall,” the latest episode of Arrow, Curtis “Mr. Terrific” Holt tried to come up with a name for the new team he had formed with Black Canary and Wild Dog.

Though the new blood of Team Arrow has left, they aren’t going to just kick back and relax.
