– Kevin Smith told Variety he’d be interested in writing an episode of Arrow with one of his creations from his own run on “Green Arrow”, Onomatopoeia, an assassin who kills people while saying onomatopoeias out loud. Arrow producers were originally going to include Guy Whose Name I Don’t Want To Retype in the first season but he was replaced by Mr. Blank, a hitman so generic I do not even remember the episode he was in. And I reviewed it! I don’t remember most of the episodes I reviewed from Arrow season one but I am drawing an absolute blank.
– Where the heck was Nick Fury in Civil War? Well, in an interview with The LA Times, Civil War screenwriters Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely say they felt throwing another character into a movie with Black Panther, Spider-Man, and The Fucking Vision too crowded. They’re not wrong.
– Check out Gerard Way’s blog for new info on the upcomingYoung Animal line at DC, including your first look at a new Doom Patrol member and the new Shade.
– Star Wars Battlefront is getting a sequel with content from the new trilogy, including new hero characters like Kylo Ren who just kind of yells at people until he gets his ass beat.
