John Constantine has been a regular presence in the Arrowverse over the past couple of years, but his TV career hasn’t always been so smooth. Despite fans instantly taking to Matt Ryan as the Hellblazer, NBC cancelled Constantine after just one season back in 2014. Thankfully, he was later folded into The CW’s DC TV universe and Ryan has since been able to reprise his role on Legends of Tomorrow, Arrow and his own animated miniseries.

Seeing as he’s become such a popular character in that franchise, though, there’s a possibility that he might be given another crack at his own series. Sources close to Wgtc – the same ones who told us a Green Lantern TV show is coming to HBO Max and that Daniel Radcliffe is being eyed for Marvel’s Moon Knight, both of which have since been confirmed – are saying that Constantine could be...

NBC won another Monday primetime pretty easily when things mostly shook out as they should. Much further down the Nielsen sheets, “Arrow” started Season 7 off just fine — for CW’s standards, that is.

The CW finished behind both Spanish-language networks, as an animated “Constantine” special dragged down what “Arrow” started.

NBC was first in ratings with a 1.8 rating/7 share in the advertiser-coveted 18-49 demographic and in total viewers with an average of 9.1 million, according to preliminary numbers. A two-hour “The Voice” at 8 p.m scored a 1.9/8 and 9.8 million viewers. At 10, “Manifest” had a 1.5/6 and 7.5 million viewers.

ABC was third in ratings with a 1.0/4 and second in viewers with 7.1 million.

By now, there’s a solid chance you’re already willing to lay down money on the soon to be launched DC Universe streaming service. After all, not only will it feature original series such as Titans, Doom Patrol, Swamp Thing, Harley Quinn and Young Justice: Outsiders, but it’ll also boast much in the way of archived content.

Speaking of which, you’re probably wondering what movies, TV series and comic books will be at your fingertips once it’s showtime, so we’re here to help you out. Basically, we’ve compiled everything that could be gleaned from the menus and clips included in the launch trailer (seen above), as well as the few selections that have already been revealed in the media.

The latest DC TV show to arrive on the airwaves is Syfy’s Krypton, an ambitious Superman prequel series which explores life on the titular planet 200 years before the Man of Steel’s birth. Though that sounds like it will be wholly separate from usual DC continuity, the series uses time travel to bring in familiar characters – most notably, the most comic-book faithful version yet of Brainiac.

So, seeing as it’s unafraid to tackle the wider DC universe, could Krypton crossover with The CW’s Arrowverse at some point? Beginning with Arrow in 2012, the shared multiverse has sucked in other network’s shows such as CBS’ Supergirl and NBC’s Constantine over the years, so it’s perfectly possible. That being said, fans shouldn’t expect it, as showrunner Cameron Welsh has nixed the idea that Krypton is part of the Arrowverse.

The news came out during the series’ panel at WonderCon in Anaheim.

DC TV fans have been waiting years for Matt Ryan to return to the small screen as John Constantine and now, they’ve finally got their wish and it looks like he’s here to stay. Following on from his recent guest spot on Legends of Tomorrow, the release date for the Hellblazer’s much-anticipated animated webseries has been revealed – and it’s right around the corner.

As revealed by Coming Soon, Constantine will arrive on CW Seed on Saturday, March 24th. That same weekend, a world premiere screening of the pilot episode will be unveiled as part of Warner Bros. TV’s presentation at WonderCon in Anaheim. It’s not yet known whether all episodes of Constantine will drop in one go on that date or whether CW Seed will stagger the release across the following Saturdays, but stay tuned for more.

DC Comics has given us many great characters over the years. And since their humble beginnings amongst those primary coloured panels and pages, these loveable heroes and loathe-able villains have grown to gargantuan levels of cultural significance. They’ve spread their (sometimes literal) wings to conquer TV sets, multiplexes, games consoles and toy boxes the world over.

And now, as these iconic characters prepare to take over The O2 in London for a massive exhibition (you can find ticket details right here), one nerdy journalist has been tasked with picking 23 of his favourites.

Get a look at what Guillermo del Toro's Justice League Dark movie might have looked like.

The Justice League Dark movie has had a long and tortured road, and there's no end in sight. This is a project which would focus on the magical and monstrous corners of the Dceu, featuring characters like Swamp Thing, John Constantine, and others, and it has been in development at Warner Bros for something on the order of five years. For much of that time, Guillermo del Toro was in charge of development, with an eye on directing.

But as with many of Warner Bros' DC superhero movies, nothing has been easy when it comes to Justice League Dark. For one thing, it was once known as Dark Universe, but Universal came along and snatched that name up for their (now apparently dead) shared cinematic universe of action/horror flicks...

John Constantine is back and The CW's got him. Watch a trailer, below. Although the NBC cancelled its Constantine TV show after one season of 13 episodes, back in 2015, fans haven't forgotten DC Comics' Hellblazer character. Now he's back for a pair of episodes in the third season of DC's Legends of Tomorrow TV series, and Matt Ryan is reprising the role. He's also voicing the character in CW Seed's upcoming, animated Constantine web series. This isn't the first time Ryan has returned to the role and the British warlock's trench coat. He also appeared in the fourth season of The CW's Arrow, as pictured above. Keep your eyes peeled for him in episode 3.10, when Legends returns from its...

At the end of Legends of Tomorrow‘s midseason finale, Matt Ryan turned up on the Waverider, making his first appearance in the Arrowverse since his guest spot on Arrow in 2015. Obviously, fans are ecstatic to have the Hellblazer on board the time machine as we’ve been promised that the show will portray him more in line with the iconic comic book character, including giving him back his chain-smoking habit and exploring his bisexuality.

Thanks to Collider’s chat with the cast, we now have a better idea of how Constantine will gel with the Legends when the show returns with episode 10, “Daddy Darhkest.” In particular, Dominic Purcell – who plays Mick Rory Aka Heatwave – has revealed that Constantine will get flirty with one of the crew. Namely, Wentworth Miller’s Citizen Cold, Snart’s doppelganger from Earth-x who joined the team during the recent Arrowverse crossover.

Purcell explained:

“Well,...

During this year’s “Crisis on Earth-x” Arrowverse crossover event, viewers were introduced to The Ray, the metahuman superhero alter ego of Ray Terrill.

Now it’s time for The Ray to truly shine, as the center of his own, animated streaming series on CW Seed.

Premiering Friday, Dec. 8 with its first six episodes, Freedom Fighters: The Ray starts off on Earth-x, where the titular band of heroes regularly clash with the Nazi New Reichsman, who are led by Overgirl. Soon enough, harrowing events find Earth-x’s Ray (voiced by Quantico‘s Russell Tovey) passing the baton to our own...

Ever since he was introduced into the Arrowverse back in 2015, fans have been crying out for Matt Ryan to reprise his role as John Constantine again. At last, their prayers have been answered as DC’s foremost occult detective is joining Legends of Tomorrow when it returns from its midseason break.

In the final moments of yesterday’s midseason finale, “Beebo the God of War,” Sara Lance found Constantine stowed away on the Waverider, their first meeting since he saved her soul after she was resurrected in the Lazarus Pit back in Arrow season 4. Apparently, he needs help with a strange exorcism case – a demon is possessing a little girl and it somehow knows Sara’s name…

Following on from that shock appearance, the promo for the midseason premiere, titled “Daddy Darhkest,” teases how the “skinny Brit in a trenchcoat” – as Mick calls him – will fit in with the Waverider...

The Waverider’s team roster is going through another shake-up.

Legends of Tomorrow star Franz Drameh, who plays Jefferson “Jax” Jackson, has exited the CW series after Tuesday’s emotional fall finale, EW.com reports.

In the episode, Jax struggled to come to terms with the loss of his Firestorm other half, Martin Stein (played by former series regular Victor Garber), who died during last week’s Arrowverse “Crisis on Earth-x” crossover event. After running into a younger version of Stein, Jax gave his friend a warning letter to open in the future — but the physicist burned it, knowing...

Don’t ask Legends of Tomorrow star Dominic Purcell about Gorilla Grodd.

The Flash foe/telepathic ape lands in Vietnam with the Waverider crew during tonight’s episode (The CW, 9/8c), but as far as Purcell is concerned, Grodd’s just another monkey.

RelatedLegends of Tomorrow: Matt Ryan’s Constantine to Visit in Season 3

“Who the hell is that?” the actor responded when asked about Grodd’s visit during an on-set interview. “Just call it monkey! Don’t call it Gorilla Grodd. Rory, how is his reaction to the monkey? It’s huge! It’s big, and he’s Rory.

The 3rd Fighter Pack for Injustice 2 has been released and they are giving us some characters straight out of left field!

Atom was a given, given the silhouette we saw when they first expanded the roster. But now we can confirm that Enchantress, most recently seen as the antagonist in the Academy Award-winning Suicide Squad film, has been confirmed as well. All this comes from the Injustice 2 World Championships late Friday night airing on TBS. They took the time to reveal who all will be involved in Fighter Pack 3, prior to the Grand Championships that saw Allegiance's Dragon (Ryan Walker) defeat FoxyGrampa to walk away with the title of greatest Injustice 2 player and $150,000.

One silhouette is one that we had 2 thoughts on. It was either Rorschach from The Watchmen, or Constantine, who has become a fan favorite thanks to the cancelled NBC series, as well as his appearances in the...

As is the case with any TV series, you have your standout characters that steal the show whenever they appear on screen. Perhaps you’ll agree with me here, because, in my opinion, Captain Cold and Heat Wave have risen above the rest of the pack when it comes to Legends of Tomorrow. Played by Wentworth Miller and Dominic Purcell, respectively, these two thieves-turned-heroes went from being relatively unknown to the mainstream to being household names thanks to some fine performances.

Unfortunately, Miller’s Leonard Snart met his end in season 1’s finale, but with this being a time traveling show, he returned in season 2 – albeit in a different capacity. You see, the Legion of Doom plucked him from earlier in the timeline, right before he signed up with Rip Hunter and the others. Thus, we met a more ruthless version of him, much to the chagrin of the ever-evolving Mick Rory.

Ever since he first crossed over into the Arrowverse back in an episode of Arrow season 4, fans have been crying out for Matt Ryan to make a return appearance as John Constantine. At last, it was recently confirmed that the demon hunter would be turning up for a multi-episode arc in Legends of Tomorrow season 3. And now, thanks to exec producer Marc Guggenheim, we have our first look at Constantine on the show.

Guggenheim shared a photo of a screen playing LoT in the editing room, revealing a shot of Constantine paired up with Brandon Routh’s Ray Palmer/the Atom. It’s not much, but we’ll take what we can get and given that this is now out in the open, we imagine there will be more to come in no time at all.

As we previously reported, Constantine will appear in episode 10, titled “Daddy Darhkest.” Yes, this...

NBC's live-action Constantine series may be no more, but the actor who played the beloved demon hunter, Matt Ryan, returns to voice the iconic character in a new digital animated series that was teased at New York Comic Con in the show's first footage ahead of its premiere on the CW Seed streaming service, and you can now watch it online in case you weren't at the Javits Center over the weekend:

Fans of the Hellblazer have been waiting to see more of John Constantine in the Arrowverse for ages – and at last, this season will be their lucky year. On top of the demon hunter’s animated webseries arriving in 2018, we recently learned that Matt Ryan would be donning the character’s trench coat again in the flesh for an episode of Legends of Tomorrow.

Well, turns out we were only half right, as Constantine is on board for not just one, but multiple episodes of The CW’s time travelling superhero show. As revealed by exec producer Phil Klemmer, his first appearance on the series will be episode 10 of the upcoming season, which will air in early 2018.

Klemmer spoke with ComicBook.com recently about how Constantine’s return came about, what role he’ll play and why he’s such a great fit for the show:

“Having Matt Ryan reprise...

We recently got our first look at the upcoming Constantine animated series coming to the CW Seed. I thought it was great that Matt Ryan would be reprising his role in the series, but now we have word that he's also reprising his role of John Constantine in The CW's Legends of Tomorrow! After the live-action series was canceled, I never expected the character to live on like this in the DC universe, so it's pretty cool that love of the fans are keeping him alive.

According to THR, Ryan will appear in a two-episode story arc of the series in 2018 and it will take place after the big Arrow, The Flash, and Supergirl crossover. Series showrunner Phil Klemmer offers some details on his appearance in the series, saying:

“As for the character of Constantine, we knew that an alienated, chain-smoking, bisexual, world-weary demonologist would feel right at home among our Legends.

When Matt Ryan debuted on NBC’s live action Constantine series a few years back, most fans were in agreement that the producers had found the best live action Hellblazer possible. Unfortunately, the network didn’t think ratings were up to snuff and cancelled the show after only 13 episodes. On the plus side, Ryan has since continued playing the character in various other projects, those being Arrow, Justice League Dark and an animated web series slated for release via the CW Seed online streaming service (see the above trailer).

Naturally, one would think a show such as Legends of Tomorrow would provide a decent way for John Constantine to rejoin the Arrowverse due to its ability to pluck DC heroes and villains from wherever they may exist on the timestream. In fact, executive producer and showrunner Phil Klemmer expressed interest in doing so in an interview a couple months ago.

I actually really liked the live-action series. It's a shame it was canceled after 13 episodes. At least we will get some new stories in the form of animation. Here's the synopsis that was released for the series:

John Constantine ... a seasoned demon hunter and master of the occult. Armed with an arcane knowledge of the dark arts and a wicked wit, he fights the good fight. With his soul already damned to hell, he’ll do whatever it takes to protect the innocent.

Ironically for a writer who notoriously hates having his work adapted, the comics of Alan Moore just keep being brought to the screen. Sometimes they’re awful (The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen), sometimes they’re middling (Constantine), but on occasion they’re just plain awesome, like 2006’s V For Vendetta.

11 years since the smart, politically-aware dystopian story was last put to film, news has arrived that suggests it could be making its way to the screen again, this time on TV. According to Bleeding Cool, their industry sources have informed them that British network Channel 4 are working on a new TV series based on Moore’s original comic.

That’s about all we know for now, but it seems that the television version would likely hue closer to the graphic novel than the film, which was largely faithful but made some significant changes here and there. For one, it...

One thing that has thus far allowed Legends of Tomorrow to excel is that of its utilization of DC characters who may not necessarily exist in the present day. Admittedly, this is something the producers need to do much more often (I spoke at length about this in my Blu-ray review of season 2), but it really boils down to which heroes and villains the folks at DC Comics will grant them access to. Well, that and actors’ availability.

A couple fine examples have been Jonah Hex and Connor Hawke, the former having met the Waverider crew when they ventured back to the Wild West on separate occasions. The latter, however, serves as the Green Arrow in the future glimpsed in “Star City 2046,” one of my personal favorite episodes.

Recently, DC Legends TV caught up with executive producer Phil Klemmer and asked if we’ll be seeing either of those guys in season 3. Unfortunately,...

Mike Mignola might not be the most well known name in comics, but he's up there. Early in his career, the writer/artist worked as an inker at Marvel on titles such as Daredevil, Power Man and Iron Fist, The Incredible Hulk, Alpha Flight, and even a Rocket Raccoon limited series. He also did some work at DC, including covers for classic Batman stories such as A Death In The Family, and co-creating Gotham by Gaslight. Even with his work at the Big Two, Mignola is best known for creating Hellboy and the many spinoffs including Abe Sapien, Lobster Johnson, and B.R.P.D., among others.

DC's greatest live-action television series has been canceled since 2015, yet the character at its center continues to live on. I am, of course, referring to Constantine, the NBC series that ran for only one season ending with a cliffhanger never-the-less. Constantine was great because certain episodes, including "A Feast of Friends", were incredibly true to specific storylines from the Hellblazer comic, with the show never shying away from the horror elements of John Constantine's world. The show's greatest strength, however, was the casting of Matt Ryan as Constantine, which remains among the most accurate casting for a superhero adaptation in any medium.

Ryan was so good that he's been brought back to conquer the role several times. First, Ryan donned the ratty jacket and tie again in the episode of Arrow titled Haunted, before voicing the character in DC's best animated feature, 2017's Justice League Dark. Ryan will also...

Dark Universe, or Justice League Dark, is the most exciting DC Extended Universe project for me. For those not familiar with the comic or animated feature, no, Justice League Dark is not an evil Justice League. Jld is a "team" of individuals who specialize in magic and the supernatural, including of John Constantine, Swamp Thing, Deadman, Zatanna, and Etrigan the Demon. I use "team" loosely, as these would-be heroes get along worse than the Guardians of the Galaxy or Task Force X from Suicide Squad. And it's all because you can never trust John Constantine.

The concept of the DC Comics’ mystical characters gathering to combat occult evil always sounds good but of course, execution is everything. When it was done sparingly, as in Swamp Thing #50, it was quite effective. As an ongoing series, it proved tough to manage since each player was plucked from a title that had a fairly unique look and feel.

That said, the newly released animated Justice League Dark film is incredibly entertaining and certainly a cut above the last half-dozen releases. From a story by Jld writer J.M. DeMatteis and Ernie Altbacker, Altbacker’s script shifts the super-heroic DC Universe to supernatural threats that Superman (Jerry O’Connell), Wonder Woman (Rosario Dawson), Green Lantern (Roger Cross) and the others are less equipped to handle. Altbacker is no stranger to heroes and magicians with credits including Spooksville and Green Lantern: The Animated Series and he does a fine job weaving the various threads.

As much as I’ve loved the various Batman and Justice League animated films that have dropped in recent years, I must admit that a sort of repetition had set in. Thankfully, a breath of fresh air has come in the form of Justice League Dark, which shifts the focus to some DC heroes who are lesser known to the mainstream, namely those who deal in mysticism and the occult.

The lone exception to that is, of course, Batman (Jason O’Mara), whose inclusion sparked debate among fans since the movie’s initial announcement. If you’re wondering why anyone would complain about seeing more of the Dark Knight, the simple answer is that he wasn’t a part of this misfit group in the comics. But seeing as how he’s WB’s moneymaker and golden boy, it makes sense from a business standpoint. After all, the average Joe walking...
