CW could bring other DC Comics Heroes to the Small Screen

Mark Pedowitz

During The Television Critics Association Summer 2011 Press Tour today, The new (hopefully better) CW president, Mark Pedowitz, would like to bring other DC Comics hero to the tubes.

Variety wrote this bit of info:

Citing the existence of DC Comics in the Warner Bros. family, Pedowitz said he's actively looking to add a superhero-themed series to add to the schedule. He'll have some competition in that regard given ABC entertainment president Paul Lee has previously stated the same intention, drawing from the stable of Marvel, which is also owned by the network's parent company, Walt Disney Co. 

Well, I can only think of one in particular... But there are other DC Comics characters CW could do, with the right writers and producers of course. Any ideas?

DC Comics talks about the LGBT characters in their Universe

DC Comics Co-Publisher Dan Didio talked to The Advocate about the LGBT heroes in their universe and what we will see in upcoming issues.


Check out the article's highlights:

Why did you choose to attach such a high-profile gay character to Batman as apposed to other characters like Superman or Wonder Woman?
There’s a lot more characters that inhabit Batman’s world. We knew we were interested in reintroducing the Batwoman character to his mythology and we also wanted to show a [different] point of view…because some of those characters without superpowers come from the same sense of grief in their past. Establishing [Batwoman] as a lesbian early on it givers her a different sensibility, a different point of view, and it also allows us to tell stories from a different angle that sets her apart from the other characters in Batman’s world.

In addition to Batwoman, Apollo and Midnighter, you’re also introducing a female bisexual African American superhero in Voodoo. Was it a conscious decision to introduce characters from across the LGBT spectrum? Yes. What we really wanted to do was show the diversity of our audience across the line of our books. Right now we have such a wide fan base and we wanted to create characters and stories that really reflected [that] fan base.

DC has several popular teenage heroes such as Robin, Wonder Girl, Superboy and the other Teen Titans. With gay teens becoming more visible in the media, can readers expect to see a teenaged gay superhero in the future?
One of the things we’re very focused on doing for these types of stories is rather than [change an existing] character, we want to make sure that this is the basis of who that character is right from the start. So if we’re going to introduce a gay character in Teen Titans, we want to make it a new character and make sure that is an iatrical part of who he is, or who she is, right from the start so we can really lean and grow with her or him.

First Look: DC Comics Relaunch of the New Teen Titans

Ryan Reynolds as Green Lantern. Costume sneak peak.

 

How do you find Ryan Reynolds' Green Lantern costume? Like it or not?

The sneak peak is just a preview of what Ryan Reynolds' Green Lantern costume looks like. I must agree to some people who commented, the costume doesn't look like what Green Lantern's wears in comics. It seems organic. I guess that's what suppose to be. 

On the other hand, Ryan Reynolds Green Lantern costume is merely a costume. What really counts in the long run is the quality of the movie and how the story will run.
