"Arrow" fans won't get to see Deathstroke unmasked on the CW superhero series until February 6, but at least they're getting an early taste of what he looks like now.
Huffington Post has the first images of "Spartacus" actor Manu Bennett as Slade Wilson. As you can see in the above photo, Bennett does a good job portraying a character we've only seen masked in the series thus far.

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.

If you can't wait for the "Justice League" movie so you can get your Martian Manhunter and Aquaman fixes, then there's a rumor floating around today that's bound to disappoint you.
Latino Review's El Mayimbe reports that Warner Bros. and DC Entertainment's planned "Justice League" adaptation will only feature five core superheroes: Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern and the Flash. That leaves Arthur Curry and J'onn J'onzz, two of the other most prominent "JL" members as far as the comics are concerned, on the bench — though it's believed that they could still make the movie in cameo appearances.

Trust has always played a crucial part on "Arrow," specifically with the Queen household. Whether it's Oliver Queen, who has thus far proven unable to trust anyone but his dead father's list, Moira Queen, who isn't as trustworthy as she seems, or Thea Queen, who trusts her mother just about as far as she can throw her. Obviously, Starling City's most watched family has a ton of issues to work out.
Last night's episode, "Trust But Verify," begins with an armored truck robbery as three unidentifiable men stop the vehicle with grenade launchers and gas masks. Soon, we discover that this is the third armored truck robbery in a series of connected crimes all around Starling City. But when Oliver's research point to Ted Gayner as the next target on his list, Diggle steps up to the plate declaring Gayner's innocence.

A PG rating would be too light, an R rating would be too violent, but a PG-13 rating feels just right for "Man of Steel." The MPAA has officially announced the new Zack Snyder film's rating, and like "Sucker Punch" before it, "Man of Steel" has been slapped with a PG-13.

Were you hoping to see Joseph Gordon-Levitt make a cameo appearance in "Man of Steel" as Gotham City's new defender? Well, the actor's here to rub some kryptonite all over those hopes — in other words, it's not happening.
"I hadn't heard that one," Gordon-Levitt told MTV's Josh Horowitz at Sundance about the recent flurry of Batman rumors. "It just goes to show how much you can believe rumors."

Fans might not recognize the Jimmy Olsen character when they first see him in "Man of Steel" — or should we say "her"? It could be that the Daily Planet employee has been gender swapped to be a woman in the upcoming movie.
As Daily Mail points out, actress Rebecca Buller is listed as "Jenny Olsen" on "Man of Steel's" IMDb page. Buller can also be seen in the "Man of Steel" trailer running alongside Laurence Fishburne's Perry White as a building crumbles in the background. Judging by her lanyard and professional clothing, she very much could be a reporter at the Daily Planet.

Zack Snyder has adopted a very unique visual style for "Man of Steel": He's decided to shoot the entire movie using only Legos.
No, we're kidding, it wasn't Snyder who came up with the idea, but rather brilliant YouTuber Antonio Toscano. As you can see in the video included after the jump, Toscano did a rather fantastic job recreating the "Man of Steel" trailer as a new film called "Man of Bricks," and we're lying if we say we wouldn't pay money to see it.
