Constantine's premise does sound like a decent comic story. But it also sounds like Supernatural with a dash of Doctor Who.

Agents of SHIELD renewed for S2, Agent Carter ordered to series. Hopefully, the reports about the latter airing during an extended SHIELD midseason hiatus are true.

Agent Carter will be kind of weird since we know the heroes ultimately fail and not even know it.

Hell, they're even finally doing the Jessica Jones show. That poo poo's been on the back burner since like Iron Man 2. It was rough to watch Marvel getting their TV sea legs with Agents of SHIELD but it like you say, it seems like now they're going full-loving-tilt.

So next year so far is bringing Daredevil Jessica Jones The Flash Agents of SHIELD s2 Arrow s3 iZombie Constantine Gotham Agent Carter Maybe Hourman Maybe Preacher Maybe Scalped Maybe Pax Romana And probably a chunk more unannounced  I would hope that the good part will be that unlike Agents of SHIELD that with so many different comic book properties around shows won't be able to coast or survive on just being "comic book shows".

I don't even know what they're going to do with Agent Carter. Like, what's the hook there? It just sounds like more prequel poo poo in an era that was already depicted as being supremely uninteresting in the films.

I feel reasonably confident that someone at some point said about "Agent Carter," by way of a pitch, "Like 'Mad Men,' but they're spies." I'm crossing my fingers for some Agents of ATLAS action.

Agent Carter is just going to be Agents of SHIELD but old timey. I look forward to the discussions of "it's called Agent Carter, not "Agent Carter and the Invaders". StumblyWumbly posted:I thought Jessica Jones was in 4 years, just before they do the Defenders series Not according to the original press release. quote:Led by a series focused on "Daredevil," followed by "Jessica Jones," "Iron Fist" and "Luke Cage," the epic will unfold over multiple years of original programming, taking Netflix members deep into the gritty world of heroes and villains of Hell's Kitchen, New York. Netflix has committed to a minimum of four, thirteen episodes series and a culminating Marvel's "The Defenders" mini-series event that reimagines a dream team of self-sacrificing, heroic characters. source Daredevil is confirmed for next year. I'd presume they'd do two a year given that stretching it out to 5 years seems a bit long.

There was a Marvel One Shot on the...Blu Ray of the first Cap movie that shows what Carter is up to after the movie. She gets put on some desk jockey job in what I assume to be the FBI or CIA or something like that. By the end of the film short, Howard Stark calls her up and asks if she'd like to help him form SHIELD. I'd really like to see more of the Howard Stark from the Cap movie. He was great. So I'm guessing this is basically going to be the early days of SHIELD.

They still haven't cast DD and they are supposed to start shooting in two months. I guess they are going to have to do a lot of stunt double work instead of training the actor to do blind ninja poo poo. The showrunner of Gotham says some dumb things. quote:I don’t think Batman works very well on TV — to have people behind masks. Frankly, all those superhero stories I’ve seen, I always love them until they get into the costume. And then it’s, “Oh, okay, they’ve ascended, they’ve stopped becoming humans.” It’s their apotheosis. They go to heaven and they’re Superman. There have been so many great versions of it. This is a version of something else entirely. I believe this was the primary philosophy of Smallville. Also, watch Arrow bro. Also from that interview: they are doing the Joker because of course they are and the kid that plays Bruce Wayne is the best actor to play Bruce Wayne ever!

The more I think about it, the only way for Gotham to be compelling would be for absolutely everything to work - plot, performances, cinematography - and that just seems unlikely. I'm sure Ben McKenzie and Donal Logue will give good performances, and the show at least looks pretty from the trailer, but it's going to be a tall order getting the audience to care about pre-villains and original characters. And yeah, Arrow is proof that you can make a very good TV show that includes people in costumes. I'll be happy if Gotham is at least as good as Arrow.

I am due to Hannibal, currently satisfied that Michael Pitt could play Heath Ledger playing the Joker, if it came to it.

Leaked script you say!? quote:• Here's the proto-villains introduced in the pilot: A 14-year-old Catwoman, already cat-burglering and associating with cats; the Riddler, who is working for the GCPD as a coroner and who tries to present all pertinent case information as riddles; the Penguin, a mid-level thug, who as mentioned earlier is repeatedly referred to as looking like a penguin. This has probably already been mad debunked but it's already my head canon.

Thing about the netflix shows is that they won't be on the radar as much as any network shows, and even with the network shows, outside of Flash and Gotham, most people won't know they are based on comics.

I dunno man, the big "MARVEL" animated logo before every episode might be a tip-off. If Marvel doesn't get people to realize that these are Marvel properties connected to Iron Man & Friends then that's gonna be a massive marketing failure.

And iZombie and Constantine are distinct enough from cape stuff that a lot of casual viewers won't think of them as comic books shows. Same with Preacher and so forth.
