What commonly happens after you win a Capey

This blog is getting sexual and I love it

Teen Titans Live Action Show Could Be Coming To TNT

DC is taking over TV. The comics company already has two shows on CW in Arrow and Flash and the highly anticipated Gotham is set to debut on Fox this month. Hell even the mystical side of the DC universe will be explored in Constantine on NBC. Now Deadline is reporting that TNT is developing a Teen Titans show called Titians with Dick Grayson/Nightwing as its lead. The site says "Titans revolves around the eponymous group of young Super Heroes-to-be from the DC Universe. The action series centers on Dick Grayson (probably best known for his alter ego as Robin), who emerges from the shadow of Batman to become Nightwing, the leader of a fearless band of new Super Heroes including Starfire, Raven and many others." Writer Akiva Goldsman (Batman and Robin) has written the pilot along with Marc Haimes (The Last Word). The project is expected to be green light for a pilot order soon.

Now I've been clamoring for Dick Grayson/Nightwing on Arrow or in a DC movie for some time now. Never anticipated he would first appear on a Teen Titians show. Always thought it could work better as a movie, but I am willing to give this show a chance only because Dick is the lead. 

But God as my witness if this TNT crap doesn't allow for Dick to enter the DC Cinematic Universe in some capacity there will be hell to pay. I need to see Nightwing and Batman team up on the big screen before I die. Especially after what Chris O'donnell did to the character in the 90's. Who wrote those films by the way? O that's right, Akiva Goldsman. Glad this show is in good hands! Goldsman partnered together with a TV Budget is a match made in heaven. Most likely there will not be enough money for CGI for Beast Boy or Cyborg. And if there is any CGI it will probably water down both Starfire and Raven's powers. But then again TNT knows drama so I have the upmost confidence.

NBC Will Not Allow Cigs on 'Constantine'

The biggest chain smoker in comics will not be allowed to smoke on his own show, so says pilot director Neil Marshall. When asked in a recent interview with Collider if John will smoke on the show Marshall responded "No we’re not. It’s the one thing, a compromise I guess. On network it’s the one thing you can’t smoke on network. That’s one of his character traits. We’re working around that. We’re trying to get aspects of it in there as much as possible. We’ll see." 

Network TV strikes again. John Constantine being forced to wear a nicotine patch is unconstitutional. But no need to fear, I have a solution. E-Cigs! LOOPHOLE! Problem solved. They are not real cigarettes and they are badass.The coolest people on Earth like Leo smoke them, so why can John have some vapor?. Need anymore convincing? Just watch the clip.

NBC's CONSTANTINE Casts Matt Ryan

Deadline reports that NBC has cast actor Matt Ryan (Criminal Minds: Suspect Behavior) as John Constantine for their new pilot based upon Vertigo's long running Hellblazer series. Hopefully the Welsh actor can give us a great rendition of the trench coat toting, foul mouthed, con man we all know and love. David S. Goyer (Batman Begins) will executive produce the series along with Daniel Cerone (Dexter). If the show makes it past the pilot  stage, there will be four DC comics based TV shows (Gotham, Flash, Arrow) running in the fall. DC comics taking over your television sets.

John Constantine is described as a working-lass Londoner with rakish good looks, scruffy blond hair, deadpan humor, and signature trench coat, who has been studying the dark arts since he was a teenager. When the daughter of a late friend is targeted by demons, Constantine steps in to save her.
