Posted 1/31/13 3:20 pm EST by in DC Comics, TV

Arrow

If you liked the fact that "Fringe" actor Seth Gabel starred in the most recent episode of "Arrow," "Vertigo," then you're going to love who's stopping by in next week's episode, "Betrayal."

David Anders, best known for his work on shows like "Alias," "Heroes" and "Once Upon a Time," will be playing the villain Cyrus Vanch, and it looks like he will be Oliver Queen's most dangerous enemy yet. The CW has released a new extended promo for "Betrayal" that gives fans a taste of Vanch a week early. Based on what we've seen, it seems like we all should be very happy to have Anders back on the small screen.

Check out the episode description for "Betrayal" after the jump, along with the promo!

'Arrow' Recap: Episode 1.12, 'Vertigo'

Posted 1/31/13 8:21 am EST by in DC Comics, Review, TV

Arrow

by Ryan Rigley

Picking up exactly where last week's episode of "Arrow" left off, "Vertigo" opens with a furious and hooded Oliver Queen chasing a low level drug thug through an alleyway. Pinning him to a nearby ledge with an arrow stuck in his wrist, the thug tells Oliver of a maniacal drug lord known only as the Count. He's the one that's been supplying Starling City with the deadly Vertigo drug. He's the one responsible for Thea's arrest.

The next day, the Queens and Laurel show up in support of the accused: Thea Queen. But despite the best efforts of the best lawyer in town, the judge moves the case to trial and deems Thea the new poster child for drug abuse in Starling City. With nowhere left to turn, Oliver pays a visit to the Starling City Police Department and bumps into an old friend, Detective McKenna Hall.

Arrow

Get ready to meet The Count in tonight's episode of "Arrow," "Vertigo." The villain, portrayed by "Fringe" actor Seth Gabel, is the man pushing the drug Vertigo on the population of Starling City, and it's up to Stephen Amell's Oliver Queen to stop him.

Judging by The Hollywood Reporter's new clip from the episode, which can be seen after the jump, Oliver starts off with a pretty good plan. He goes to buy a big chunk of The Count's wares, but their meeting gets spoiled by Starling PD. Be warned: Things really turn sour when The Count catches Oliver by surprise.

'Man Of Steel' Turns Zod, Jor-El Into Action Figures

Posted 1/30/13 10:15 am EST by in DC Comics, Toys

Zod

Kneel before Zod! Or before his action figure, at least!

USA Today has the scoop on a whole bunch of "Man of Steel" toys headed your way throughout the year, including a first look at a brand new General Zod action figure, pictured above. We've only seen Michael Shannon's alien war-lord in a few blink-and-you'll-miss-it shots in the trailer, so you can argue that this is our best look yet at what the Kryptonian villain will look like in the film.

Wonder Woman

So much for that news that CW's Wonder Woman pilot "Amazon" was beginning its casting search. The planned pilot has been shelved by the network -- at least for the time being.

"Amazon" wasn't included on The CW's recently released pilot orders, but sources say all hope is not lost. Deadline claims that executives at the network felt that the series needed more time to be developed, while The Hollywood Reporter has learned that the project still has a chance of hitting the small screen.

'Death Of Superman Lives' Documentary Hits Kickstarter

Posted 1/25/13 2:29 pm EST by in DC Comics

Jon Schnepp has weird nerdy tendencies that we totally are obsessed with. The man behind "Metalocalypse" and "Venture Bros." is a huge fan of the "Superman" movie that never was, "Superman Lives," and now wants to make a documentary about it -- and that's a venture we can totally respect.

But Schnepp wants to go even farther than just making a film about a film he's entranced by. In addition to hopefully chatting with director Tim Burton, first screenplay writer Kevin Smith and original cast members Nicolas Cage and Sandra Bullock, he hopes to have enough money to shoot a few minutes of footage from Smith's script and have artists create the Braniac Burton had dreamed up.
