SUPERGIRL Gets a Full Season Order at CBS
Supergirl premiered on CBS last month, and so far, the DC Entertainment show has been a success. The series was originally ordered for 13 episodes, with a full-season pickup expected. Now, CBS has announced its decision. CBS has confirmed that Supergirl has been given a full season order. However, instead of the usual nine episodes, the network has ordered seven additional episodes. This brings the season’s total to 20 episodes, rather than the typical 22. This can be explained by Supergirl premiering one month later than many other new shows, as well as the heavy visual effects for each episode. With a full season set, the next step for Supergirl is to…

Ben Affleck Talks Exploiting the DC Brand, Working with Warner Bros. and the Pressure of Playing Batman
Back when Ben Affleck was cast as the Batman of the DC Extended Universe in 2013, the reaction from fans was polarizing to say the least. Some loved the idea, some hated it.

Speaking with Variety, Affleck makes it clear that there is a lot of pressure to succeed with this film. “I think there…

Rumor: SUPERGIRL/THE FLASH Crossover is Being Planned
Ever since CBS picked up Supergirl, there has been much speculation over whether it will cross over with any of Greg Berlanti’s other DC shows – Arrow, The Flash and DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, all of which are on The CW. While it is logistically possible – CBS co-owns The CW – the former network has been hesitant to have Kara Zor-El meet Green Arrow, Flash and company. Others involved with the show reaffirmed that, while a crossover isn’t entirely out of the question, it is not a priority right now. Then there’s the question of where Supergirl fits into the Arrowverse timeline, if anywhere. None of the other shows have…

JoBlo is back with another DC Extended Universe scoop. The site offers potential new details on 2018’s Aquaman movie. Who is the primary villain? How will Mera play into the film?

Exact story details are unconfirmed, since the script is still being written. In this film, Mera will be a “force to be reckoned with” and not a damsel in distress.…
