Smallville star Michael Rosenbaum brought a singular genius to the screen in his decade-long tenure as Lex Luthor, but the actor said he isn’t having any second thoughts about declining a Warner Bros. TV overture to revive the character this fall.
On Twitter, Rosenbaum explained that his decision to leave the Smallville reunion as part of the Arrowverse crossover to his former castmates was a no-brainer for reasons both personal and professional.
Rosenbaum explained that Warner Bros reached him while he was in Florida visiting his grandfather in a nursing home. The pitch wasn’t the most enticing offer, as Rosenbaum recounts: “Their offer: No script. No idea what I’m doing. No idea when I’m shooting. Basically no money. And the real kick in the ass: “We have to know right now.

If you’ll remember, there was a rumor floating around last year saying that The CW would be developing a Superman show to include in its Arrowverse lineup. Unfortunately, that was swiftly shot down, but it appears as though such talks haven’t ceased behind the scenes.
Actually, this has been something the fanbase saw coming ever since Tyler Hoechlin debuted as the Man of Steel at the start of Supergirl‘s second season – and his unforgettable return during the “Elseworlds” crossover certainly fanned the flames.
According to a source close to We Got This Covered, not only is the network still considering a show headlined by Superman, but it’ll replace Supergirl in their prime time lineup if ratings don’t improve within the next year or two. And if you want more specifics, Elizabeth Tulloch would be expected to co-star as Lois Lane, effectively reprising her “Elseworlds” role.

The era of Batfleck is no more.
Aside from the possibility of a fleeting cameo in Matt Reeves’ upcoming standalone pic, Ben Affleck is ostensibly finished with Gotham’s Caped Crusader, leaving The Batman in the hands of a young protégé. Rumor has it that Reeves is eyeing an actor in his mid-20s for what will be a decidedly different interpretation of the Dark Knight, though further details are being kept under lock and key.
That has in no way stemmed the tide of support and genuine appreciation for Ben Affleck’s Batman though, given Twitter has been awash with encouraging messages and DC tributes now that the era of Batfleck is coming to an end. Below, you’ll find just a small cross-section of the tweets, beginning with Affleck’s own:
Excited for #TheBatman in Summer 2021 and to see @MattReevesLA vision come to life. https://t.co/GNgyJroMIO...

Following the apparent death of the Man of Steel, a plethora of Superfakes don the spandex in an underpowered animated caper
You can’t keep a good superhero dead for long – certainly not Superman, the most Jesus-y of them all. Reign of the Supermen, the latest in DC’s mostly straight-to-video, fan-orientated animated series, is showing in cinemas as a one-night-only double bill with last year’s The Death of Superman. In the latter, Supes came a cropper in an almighty dust-up with a monster after revealing his true identity to Lois Lane. Reign is set six months later, as the world reels from the death of a god among men.
In Metropolis, copycat Supermen have flooded the market for rescuers of small children from burning buildings. And after the operatic grandiosity of the live-action movies, this street-level crimefighting is a nostalgic treat. Still, the movie doesn’t do any favours for spandex beginners.

What makes a good Satanic Panic flick? Is it the urbane, dark humor of Rosemary’s Baby (’68), perhaps the outsized biblical insanity of The Omen (’76), or the insidious paranoia that infuses Race with the Devil (’75)? The answer for me is all of the above, and what a treat it is to come across another that brings something a little different - The Brotherhood of Satan (’71) offers a sense of quiet displacement before unleashing a torrent of blustery brimstone and hellfire.
Released by Columbia Pictures in early August, The Brotherhood of Satan even received some decent notices; Roger Greenspun of The New York Times proclaimed that the film “displays bold, direct, relatively uncomplicated acceptance of its supernature”, which is definitely one of its strengths – the evil is ingrained in the small town structure and those within are resigned to its nature. Hey, it was the ‘70s! Were you really expecting upbeat?...
