Big Convergence New!!!

Over at CBR and Newsarama, DC revealed some heavy details about their next event. Spoilers ahead!!!

Trailer for the Constantine TV series

The newest comic book character to hit the small screen is Constantine, a British detective of the occult and  con man. The character had a long run in DC's Vertigo imprint (Hellblazer) before returning to the "main" DC Universe in the New 52 (along with Swamp Thing). Since then, DC has been really pushing him (his own book, Justice League Dark and Injustice Year 3). I'm not very familiar with the character (just what I saw in the 2005 movie, not the best first impression) but will give it a shot, maybe Swamp Thing shows up since both have a long history together (Swampy used Constantine as a vessel to impregnate his wife... what?). The series starts this fall on NBC.

Former Superman returns (ha!) to the DC Universe to play Ray Palmer (the Atom). Palmer will be a recurring role in the TV series. This marks the second time the Atom appeared in a live action project (the first one being the awful Justice League TV movie from the 90's) With the Flash premiering this year, could the CW try to launch an Atom series as well?

As for Brandon Routh, he did the best he could as Superman (the story was not good). I'm sure he'll do Ray Palmer justice.

JLA Adventures: Trapped in Time review

It's like the Super Friends, but in a good way!

 Over the past few years, DC Entertainment has released direct-to-video animated movies for a more adult audience. JLA Adventures: Trapped in Time  goes for the 5 to 10 years old. It tabs into the more Saturday morning, campy approach. It's a great introduction of the DC Universe for a younger audience.

Flash Fail!
