What can be said but:

Well TMZ is sucking for me right now. The gallery won't work. Every time I hit the red forward button to scroll through it, nothing happens. I'm just stuck on the first image.

That is not a good looking Superman costume...

<Edit>
Especially the cape and the way it attaches.

I just hope that if Tyler does well in his portrayal of Superman that he'll be allowed to eventually crossover with the other heroes from the Arrowverse.

I mean it's not uncommon for other main characters, aside from the titular hero (Arrow/Flash), to take a visit onto another CW-DCTV show.

It would feel like such a wasted opportunity to not allow Tyler's Superman, especially if he ends up being decent/good/great, to appear alongside the likes of The Flash and Arrow....particularly the first option (Flash) since Grant is a big fan of Superman.

If Supergirl gets major ratings for the CW on the Superman episodes, he's going to get passed around to the other shows like cocaine at a birthday party.

He'll time travel into Reign and get bitten by a vampire for the Vampire Diaries.

I'm hoping that if Tyler's Superman proves to be a hit, they explore the possibility of a spin off.

Not bought them, WB licensed them, Fox do not have ownership of characters. As far as Batman appearing on TV goes, I will believe it when I see it.

"We own all the rights.That's what we're licencing," he said. "They brought us the entire franchise for a very healthy licence fee. We're not negotiating this piece meal. We have all of the underlying Batman rights for the entire franchise for this series."

Same thing, they (Fox) have paid a licensing fee to use all Batman characters for a TV series, that does not mean they have ownership of these characters, Licensing fee is for a fixed duration and specific purpose with legal agreements in place.

Ownership is different thing, If Fox had the ownership then there was no need to pay WB any licensing fees to use Batman characters.

Nope. Fox owns the television rights. If CW wants to bring in Batman they talk to Fox, not WB.

This is wrong. WB are the parental/primary rights holders of all properties related to DC Comics, and have licensed full use of the rights to the Batman property, no strings attached, to FOX.

WB can still do whatever else they want with that property themselves independent of what FOX chooses to do, however, including allowing series like Arrow, Flash, Legends, etc access to characters who are associated with it.

That's why both Gotham and Arrow were able to feature versions of the characters of The Dollmaker and Firefly.

 

[Primal Slayer]

Those characters did not intercept each other. Dollmaker was on Arrow long before Gotham was even made.

"Batman himself is still tied to the Gotham deal at Fox, but Fox has been approached to share the character for a fee. It would likely only be economically feasible if an actor playing Bruce Wayne and Batman were made a series regular across the whole network to defer the licensing costs to Fox."

"Fox obtained the Batman and Gotham TV rights as part of a deal that included giving Warner Bros the go ahead to release Batman ’66 on DVD. Even if Gotham were to end, they would retain rights as long as the DVDs were being sold."

"If this is all true, and Fox does not decide to allow Batman into a shared deal, then it had better damned well have another plan for the character, and I'm talking before Gotham wraps up its run. (And I'm saying it in my big boy voice, so there.) Because that's just greedy, which is most certainly not how a billionaire acts."

Again, CW has to negotiate with Fox, not WB. This isn't even up for debate.

Too bad dude. I don't care if you need need verification to believe it. Have a nice day.

Yes, all of those are rumors....

No need to get snarky people, all you had to do was put the quote into google. Took me 30 seconds.

is it me? or does kinda look like Jerry O'Connell here?

great work btw (certainly night and day, from what the network officially released)

 

[VelcroWallet]

Sorry about that. Batman joining the CW are rumors for sure but CW having to negotiate with Fox if they want him isn't a rumor. That was what I was trying to explain.

I see Lee Pace.

No big deal...we just sometimes forget that we are discussing a TV show and comicbooks, not famine, hunger and world peace...
