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.
– ComicBook.Com is reporting that Iddo Goldberg of Peaky Blinders fame will be playing both Red Tornado and his creator Dr. T.O. Morrow in the upcoming Supergirl series. Goldberg was pretty good in Peaky Blinders, but can he convince us that even a robot can cry?!
– ETalk has footage of Margot Robbie leaving an airport in Toronto. Oh, also a scene from Suicide Squad where spoilers Batman jumps on Joker’s car and punches it. Honestly, I feel like that’s the only scene they’ve been filming for what, a year now? End spoilers.
– Hey, Mark Waid and Chris Samnee’s run on “Daredevil” is ending today! That’s going to be bittersweet. Samnee showed off some cool sketches and designs to Newsarama. Be sure to print them out so you can wipe your tears on them when you realize “Daredevil” is actually ending for real this time.
– So, uh, WWE Hall of Famer and wrestling legend Jimmy “Superfly” Snuka has been charged with murder. Specifically, the murder of his girlfriend Nancy Argentino in 1983. Snuka has long been rumored to have been involved with Nancy’s death but he was only arrested yesterday morning. What implications this will have on the WWE are uncertain as WWE CEO Vince McMahon has been rumored (EMPHASIS ON RUMORED) to have been involved with covering for Snuka for years.
– Activision re-released the 2013 Deadpool game for Xbox One and PS4. It’s our duty to remind you that game was garbage with a capital trash when it looked like crap and it’s still garbage now that it looks like shinier crap. Download Life is Strange or something. Hell, download Hatred. Or talk to your family.
– Watch out America, TV’s favorite frog is banging a new pig! Kermit’s new girlfriend Denise is, like Miss Piggy, a pig but also an executive at ABC. Denise being a female animal who is also a TV network executive sounds pretty similar to Wanda from Bojack Horseman. Hopefully this means the new Muppets show will start off with some shallow episodes before plunging right into Fozzy’s alcoholism and depression.
– CBR has some pictures from the second season of Gotham worth checking out. The highlight is twelve year-old ass Bruce Wayne discovering the Bat-Cave when he’s still in middle school. I hope the season premiere is him standing in the cave thinking for ten years. Then a bat hits him in the face and he just yells out “I KNOW WHAT TO DO!” Also, according to these photos, D-Man is on this show?
