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
As reported by The Hollywood Reporter, Ralph Fiennes will play Alfred Pennyworth in the upcoming Lego Batman film. If Alfred acts anything like Monsieur Gustave from The Grand Budapest Hotel, I’m sold.
– As reported by Newsarama, it looks like Disney is looking to tone down the Slave Leia costume’s usage. The rumor comes from J. Scott Campbell, who took to a Facebook post to comment on the whole situation, saying that Marvel won’t even let artists draw Leia in a “sexy pose”, with or without the outfit. Still no rules about how sexy anyone at Marvel can draw Jar Jar Binks though. So somebody please hop to that.
– Halloween may be over but Arrow is still enjoying the spookiness with guest star John Constantine. Matt Ryan will reprise his role from the now-cancelled Constantine on tonight’s episode of Arrow. The smiling human bags at DC All Access have an exclusive clip from tonight’s episode among all their other shenanigans. As someone who spent 14 hours last week trapped on a bus across Europe with nothing but Garth Ennis’s run on Hellblazer, I’m still a little sad that Matt Ryan’s Constantine exists in a TV-14 world but we get by on what we just have to make do.
– Bad news. That gum you like is not going to come back in style. Not for another two years, at least. According to TVLine, Showtime’s Twin Peaks revival has been pushed back to 2017, proving Laura’s “See you again in 25 years” line disappointingly wrong.
