DC/CW’s Legends Of Tomorrow Trailer Drops

Flash 2014 TV logo

Where the DC movies seem to be failing the shows (except for Gotham) appear to be getting things right by not being afraid of their roots. This includes the Vertigo series Constantine (although NBC is canceling it), the CW-aired Arrow, The Flash, and I, Zombie (never got into Green Arrow and you don’t expect me to watch a zombie series, right?) and the trailer for the CBS Supergirl series. The CW DCU appears to also want to expand, even making an animated series based on Vixen that I haven’t heard about since it was announced, while this trailer shows off their own pseudo-Justice League in Legends Of Tomorrow, spinning off of Arrow and The Flash.

One downside to the success of Marvel Studios is the influence on the comics. They already ended the Fantastic Four comic because 20th Century Fox won’t let it go to the point that they’ll make terrible movies to hold on to it. Now Marvel may be targeting the other Fox hold out (the one they aren’t screwing up, at least as badly), the X-Men. Bleeding Cool‘s Rick Johnson makes the case with a discussion Brian Bendis writes into an issue of the Uncanny X-Men.

Morning Article Link: Supergirl Pilot Leak?

Supergirl CBS1

Brett White of Comic Book Resources is questioning a leak of the pilot for CBS’ upcoming Supergirl series, wondering if it was a leak or an attempt to stir up buzz for the series. All I want to know is where I can see it? The only show I’ve gotten early access to lately is Odd Mom Out thanks to Entertainment Weekly. Do I seem like someone who wants to see a modern comedy about a bunch of moms, even if I didn’t just lose mine? I’d rather review Supergirl.
