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
– Gotham showrunner Bruno Heller confirmed to ComicBook.com that the court of Owl’s from Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo’s run on “Batman” will make an appearance in the Fox TV show, having a connection to the Galavan siblings who showed up in the second season premiere. To be frank, the Court sounds like a much better villain for a Batman prequel than Baby Joker or whatever, so this might draw a bunch of viewers to the TV show.
– Wesley Snipes told Huffington Post that he would be interested in returning to Marvel as Blade. To be fair, he said in a very nice and political manner that there’s always a possibility in working with Marvel again, it’s just up to Marvel to fit Blade into the plans they have for the Avengers. Just have him bite Thanos in the neck and have the Avengers treat Blade like he’s been here the whole time. Make him the Mr. Poopy Butthole of Marvel Studios.
– Rocksteady released a new trailer for new Arkham Knight DLC including a story mission for Nightwing, a classic Arkham Asylum costume and the Tumbler from the Nolan films. That DLC will come with four missions where you help Batman settle on his aesthetic.
– Here’s Andy Park’s design for the original Wasp costume from Ant-Man. Hopefully we’ll see more of it in Civil War, Guardians of the Galaxy 2, or whatever movie brings Janet Van Dyne back from the grave.
– Winter Soldier star Sebastian Stan talked to Collider about Zack Snyder’s comments where he called Marvel movies like Ant-Man “flavor of the week”:
I was like, “… Oh thanks, Zack. That’s great. Way to do something original.” But I would say we’re still making something very original in our own way. I mean, the Russos are coming in and taking something people are used to and they’re shaping it up and changing it in a very different way. They’re not trying to mimic a better Christopher Nolan movie or something like that.”
Zack Snyder is currently in critical care for third degree burns.
– This new trailer for Supergirl showcases some of the heroine’s enemies as well as the Department of Extranormal Operations or DEO. This ups the chances of Mister Bones and Cameron Chase showing from “No” to “Probably Not.”
