Turned on my TV this morning, and there was a "DC Super Hero Girls Super Hero High School" show...

Teenage versions of every female DC Character. Twittering, and Facebooking, and playing Candy Crush. And Super Girl Fangirling all over Wonder Woman.

I can't imagine this is what certain groups of people imagined when they wanted more females active in this genre. I can't imagine this is what anyone wanted for the genre...

But that's all girls are interested in. I'm surprised they weren't at a slumber party playing Mystery Date and ranking the capes by butt.

Reportedly Bryan Singer is planning to step away from the X-Men movies to work on different projects, but says not on a permanent basis. Dwayne Johnson also officially confirms he'll star in Shane Black's Doc Savage. He says, and I quote, "Doc was physically and mentally trained from birth by his father and a team of scientists to become the perfect human specimen with a genius level intellect. His heightened senses are beyond comprehension. He can even identify a woman's perfume from half a mile away. He is literally the master of everything. But here's the #1 reason I'm excited to become Doc Savage ... HE'S A F*CKING HILARIOUS WEIRDO!" I'm okay with this.

Apparently Captain Hydra has a knowyourmeme page now. It says that the 4chan people were "disgruntled" when making them but they weren't. I was there, it was actually a really fun thread.

... some of those are just godawful. I especially hate the Deadpool one that is floating around. Deadpool doesn't even like chimichangas. He just likes how the word sounds. I blame Daniel Way.

FX is pushing Legion to an eight episode first season, which I can't imagine it going beyond that but we'll see. Suicide Squad is Twitter's most anticipated summer movie apparently. And Hayley Atwell wants more Agent Carter, and I just want more Hayley Atwell.

Some more rumors from Thor: Ragnarok says they'll be drawing influence from the Planet Hulk books, which I guess we can speculate that the Grandmaster (Jeff Goldblum for those keeping track) will have some kind of arena-esque gladiator fight with Hulk and Thor throwing down. Would be neat after the first Avengers where Hulk just randomly punches Thor during the end of the pseudo-montogue fight scene. Rumor is Hulk will be sporting his shoulder-armor from the run, Thor will have a shaved skull and Valkyrie (Tessa Thompson) will have war paint. Rumors from the Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol 2 claims that Elizabeth Debicki will be the main antogonist of the movie, playing Ayesha ... who also goes by Her, Paragon, and Kismet. She was created by the Enclave, a group of scientists set on creating a perfect genetic being. This one means that either (a) she was the being that hatched in GotG 1 in Collector's collection that was thought to be Adam Warlock or (b) that it was Warlock in the cocoon and Paragon is the second creation who is hunting Warlock because she believes him to be her "perfect mate." A is pretty self explanitory, but B means we'll also get Warlock in the movie which would be great since eventually Adam plays a pretty big role in the Infinity Gauntlet story that we're being lead to.

Melissa Benoist, in a statement that is surprising, says that Kara and Barry Allen are too similar to ever get together. Finally an un-ship. Doesn't mean it won't happen, but at least we have that. Barry on the other hand thinks they'd be a good match, but considering how often he screws things up like the timeline I think we'll defer to Kara on this one.

Hugh Jackman sporting an unkempt beard as he's arriving on set to film some scenes in Wolverine 3, giving more credence to the rumor that it'll be based on Old Man Logan. Or Mel Gibson.

Susanne Bier, who directed The Night Manager, is on a short list to direct the next (few?) Bond movies. Also rumored that Hiddleston is being considered for the lead role.

I thought the Night Manager was a good, short, story. I liked that ending. So I think the director going on to doing a Bond movie is OK.

I think a series called Outcast is starting on Cinemax tomorrow. Supposed to be based on another Kirkman comic? I kept seeing the previews before and after Game of Thrones. Something Exorcist like?

So there were rumors of a Arrow/Flash/Supergirl series of cross over episodes. And then there was talk of it being a Musical. And I thought... NPH Music Meister?

But then the actor behind Arrow said "No!"

Following up The Killing Joke, DC is animating Justice League Dark. All I really know about it is that it's the supernatural characters like Constantine and Zantanna dealing with, well, the supernatural stuff that goes bump in the night that the regular Justice League wasn't suited to deal with.

I'm really trying to like Preacher, but they really need to speed things up a bit. If by the end of the next episode nothing of substance still hasn't happened, I think I may give up on it.

Three episodes of Preacher and it's pretty much "Cassidy Shenanigans and Uninteresting Stuff: The Show." I genuinely laughed when Spoilerthe angels spent like two minutes getting prepared to assault the church and then Cassidy just ran them over.

Gotham is axing Clare Foley's Poison Ivy and casting an older actress for an expanded role for the character for season 3. Also director James Wan says he's excited to subvert Aquaman's "superhero joke status," which I guess means no talking to Jamacian crabs and retarded sharks.

I'm a little concerned over white bits that aren't the eyes of the costume, but it's supposedly an alt-universe story I can overlook it. Of course, I'm retarded for Spider-Man so that's just pleasant sounding rationalization as I'd pick it up anyway. Also supposedly going to have more Peter Parker-esque sections, which I imagine means more along the lines of the detective parts from the Arkham games, which is always a plus. Speaking of the Spider, rumor is Donald Glover is in talks to join the cast in Spider-Man: Homecoming. Beyond that nothing, but speculation and clickbait is in high gear claiming everything from possibly The Prowler to J Jonah Jameson to Miles Morales.

It's going to be like getting stuck at Hot Topics for two hours, isn't it?
Not exactly sure why there is a "CW Premiere" and a "Original Episode" listing, so kept both.

And in absolutely bad taste I just can't help myself from pointing out that he was the voice of Clumsy Smurf ...

In the world of rumors: Since Yondu and Nebula are both returning, I imagine they're the old foes becoming new allies referenced ... you know, assuming it's not just clickbait my dumb ass fell for.

Three more kids added to Spider-Man: Homecoming, Isabella Amara, Jorge Lendeborg Jr. and J.J. Totah. Presumably as more high school friends.

Bryan Cranston confirmed he'll be playing Zordon in the Power Rangers movie.

I just remembered that the Voltron reboot was on Netflix. I started watching that and have enjoyed it. One positive in my mind is that they aren't using that 3D CGI look that most of the recent show remakes have.
