NBC's Pass On Wonder Woman And Neil Gaiman's 'Doctor Who' Episode In Today's Twitter Report

Posted 5/13/11 12:31 pm EST by in Twitter Report


Doctor WhoWell, that "Wonder Woman TV show on NBC doesn't sound like it will be happening this time around, as the network has reportedly passed on the series. Depending on whose tweets you're reading, this is either good or bad for comics. Jeff Parker would like to see a different approach, and Mark Millar thinks it's a healthy sign. Sterling Gates, meanwhile, thinks the show could have been great.

One TV event we're all hoping will be great is that Neil Gaiman "Doctor Who" episode that's coming up this weekend. Gaiman, fellow "Who" writer Paul Cornell and Dave Gibbons chatted about that. Find out what kind of Ood Gibbons considers Cornell to be, and one change that Dan Slott spotted in "Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark" down below.

With that in mind, I reached out to some of the online world's "Smallville" experts for a chat about what we're hoping to see in the series finale, as well as why "Smallville" has had such a long run, and what the future holds for fans.

While I'll stop short of declaring myself a true-blue expert on all things "Smallville," the title certainly applies when it comes to the three people I spoke to for this feature. Read More...

Debuting on the film’s official Facebook page is one such poster, featuring a sinister Peter Sarsgaard as Hector Hammond with a fist full of psionic power. Read More...
