Speaking to CBR and other reporters during a visit to the show’s Vancouver set, Amell explained how he convinced Warner Bros. to let him use Batman’s real name and what it could mean for the Arrowverse at large. “The original version of that script, which came out right before Comic-Con, it was just Oliver referencing a famous name,” he revealed. “I can’t remember what the placeholder was. I think it might have been Justin Bieber. I looked at it, and I thought to myself, ‘This is a cool opportunity.’ I talked with Greg Berlanti about it, and Greg said, ‘You know, I think that it would behoove you to just go directly to Geoff Johns and just simply ask. You’ll probably have better luck than I would.'”https://www.cbr.com/arrow-stephen-amell-bruce-wayne-namedrop-story/ GENERAL DC NEWS Legends of Tomorrow’s Heatwave Teases Dynamic with Citizen Cold (Date: 10 Nov 2017)Wentworth Miller is returning to the Arrowverse, but not as Captain Cold. Miller will play Citizen Cold, Leonard Snart’s doppelganger from another world — but what does that mean for Captain Cold’s longtime partner Heatwave? Speaking to CBR and other reporters, Legends of Tomorrow star Dominic Purcell teased how Heatwave will react to meeting the “new” Snart. Asked what brings the two characters together, Purcell joked, “Oh, well, the writers brought them together.” On a more serious note, he said, “What I can elaborate on is that the relationship between Heatwave and Captain Cold — or not Captain Cold… Citizen [Cold]. It’s changed. The audience will really see a difference in his character, and also how Rory reacts to this new… you know, Captain Cold, if you will. So it was interesting. We’re dealing with some really topical stuff.”https://www.cbr.com/legends-of-tomorrows-heatwave-citizen-cold-dynamic/ Laurie Metcalf Joins SupergirlIn Key Role (Date: 09 Nov 2017)Laurie Metcalf will join Season 3 of Supergirlas Winn Schott’s (Jeremy Jordan) estranged mothers. Supergirl fans were already introduced to Winn’s father, Winslow Schott Sr. (Henry Czerny), back in Season 1. Winslow proved to be quite the opposite of Winn, as he ended up revealing himself to be the Toymaker, a villain who committed atrocious acts with weapons concealed in toys. There’s no telling if Metcalf’s character will share the same homicidal tendencies as Winslow. Metcalf’s reason for taking the role is actually pretty endearing – she wants to make sure her daughter can meet her idol, Melissa Benoist, the series’ star.https://www.cbr.com/laurie-metcalf-supergirl-winns-mom/ ‘Supergirl,’ ‘Arrow’ Producer Suspended Amid Sexual Harassment Allegations by Warner Bros.

None of the 19 sources for this story wanted to be named for fear of All the men and women who spoke to Variety describe similar incidents of inappropriate touching and endemic sexual harassment; they often told the same stories and corroborated each other’s accounts.According to sources who either witnessed this behavior or were subjected to it, Kreisberg is accused of frequently touching people without their permission, asking for massages from uncomfortable female staff members, and kissing women without asking. Almost every source cites a constant stream of sexualized comments about women’s appearances, their clothes, and their perceived desirability.According to many interviewed by Variety, Kreisberg’s problematic behavior, particularly around women, got worse once he had a great deal of authority as an executive producer on several shows.http://variety.com/2017/tv/news/warner-bros-sexual-harassment-andrew-kreisberg-1202612522/ ARROW CAST AND CREW INTERVIEWS Arrow’s Juliana Harkavy Reacts to That Major Vigilante Twist (Date: 10 Nov 2017)Arrowhas finally unmasked In “Deathstroke Returns,” the latest episode of Arrow, Dinah Drake’s Black Canary discovered — to her horror — that her ex-partner/lover Victor Sobel had been the Vigilante all along. Speaking to CBR and other outlets, Black Canary actor Juliana Harkavy discussed the twist, what it means for her character, the impact it could have on the team moving forward and more. “Well, it’s definitely been a little bit of a glitch in her path, because now — in a sense — not only is she dealing with her past but she also has her own little secret that she has to decide whether she’s going to keep from the team, so it definitely throws a wrench in her life and game plan,” she explained. https://www.cbr.c NEXT EPISODE Link to Promo: (Date: 10 Nov 2017) LINK https://www.cbr.com/arrow-trailer-promises-kept-deathstroke/ Episode: “Promises Kept” [Season 6 Episode 6] Air Date: Thursday, November 16, 2017 Summary: As Slade continues to uncover clues about his son's last few years, Oliver makes a big decision.
