Welcome back to The Rundown, our daily breakdown on comic news stories we missed from the previous day. Have a link to share? Email our team at rundown@multiversitycomics.com.

– If you were one of the 3.67 million folks who watched The Flash on Tuesday night, congratulations: you helped the show tie a rereun of NCIS as the #1 show at 8pm. This is a big deal for not just the show and the Arrowverse, but the CW in general. It also means that superhero shows are becoming the new procedurals, which is a blessing and a curse. Congratulations to all involved!

– Delroy Lindo, a veteran actor known for his roles in Point Break and Malcolm X has been cast as Dominic Fortune on Marvel’s Most Wanted, the Mockingbird-starring spinoff for ABC. Fortune has appeared in both the recent “S.H.I.E.L.D.” comic, as well as “Hawkeye and Mockingbird” in the recent past.

– Scott Snyder has taken to Twitter to address the rumors that he, along with the confirmed-to-be-moving-on Greg Capullo, will be leaving “Batman” soon, perhaps to take over “Detective Comics.” When I say ‘address,’ I really mean side-step. The good news is that Snyder seems to have lots of DC work coming up, which is good news for all involved.

– In what can only be imagined as a classic ‘snobs versus slobs’ 80s comedy, Zack Snyder and Christopher Nolan met pre Batman V. Superman: Dawn of Justice to discuss getting Nolan’s ‘blessing’ on the project. I can picture Nolan in a perfectly tailored suit, with Sntder showing up in board shorts.

– And, finally, One Million Moms is outraged that Olive Garden would advertise on Lucifer. I’m outraged that a) people eat at Olive Garden, b) Lucifer is reportedly pretty bad.
