GENERAL DC News

1. The CW’s Batwoman Announces Series Order with First Teaser (Date: 7 May 2019)
   1. The CW has announced the Arrowverse spinoff Batwoman has been picked up for a series order. Along with the announcement is the first teaser for the series, featuring the iconic Bat symbol and our first look at the show’s logo. Played by Ruby Rose, Batwoman made her Arrowverse debut during this season’s yearly crossover event, titled “Elseworlds.”
   2. Even though Batwoman will follow Kate Kane’s exploits in Gotham City, the series will only get “as close as it possibly can” to Batman without ever physically introducing him. As for his alter ego, Bruce Wayne, he “remains off-limits for the foreseeable future” as far as The CW is concerned.
   3. https://www.cbr.com/batwoman-cw-series-order-first-teaser/
2. Jeopardy Featured A Question on DC’s Legends Of Tomorrow (Date: 9 May 2019)
   1. Last night’s episode of Jeopardy! featured a question about DC’s Legends of Tomorrow — although nobody on the episode could successfully answer it. But for comic book fans, the coolest thing going on last night was a reference to The CW superhero show, in which Caity Lotz plays Sara Lance/White Canary, a role she originated on Arrow. “Filipino martial arts training helped Caity Lotz play Sara Lance, the “White Canary,” who leads the time travelers on this DC show,” the answer read (the question, of course, was “What is DC’s Legends of Tomorrow?”).

ARROW NEWS:

GENERAL DC News

1. The Flash Gives Major Shout-Out to DC Writer Gail Simone (Date: 30 April 2019)
   1. The Flash just gave DC writer Gail Simone her due. In “Gone Rogue,” the latest episode, Nora West-Allen stole blueprints from a company named after her. In the very opening of the episode, Nora headed straight for G. Simone & Associates: Architecture, Planning, Interiors. There, she took the blueprints for McCulloch Technologies off the server, then fried it with her Speed Force lightning.
   2. Simone, of course, can be credited with bringing Rag Doll into the spotlight. In her cult classic run on The Secret Six with Dale Eaglesham, Rag Doll was an integral member of the team; the character quickly became a DC fan favorite after her run. Since Rag Doll was featured heavily in “Gone Rogue,” it makes sense for Simone to get such a major shout-out.
   3. In addition to her work on The Secret Six, Simone is a prolific comic book writer. Her major credits include Birds of Prey, Batgirl, Wonder Woman, Red Sonja, Deadpool, Leaving Megalopolis and Clean Room. She recently wrote Domino for Marvel Comics and now serves as chief architect for Lion Forge’s superhero line, which makes her Flash namedrop all the more fitting.
