Despite persistent rumors and a recent report, it appears Superman will not be receiving his own solo Arrowverse series anytime soon. “No, Superman is not getting his own TV show on the CW,” Heroic Hollywood founder and Editor-in-chief Umberto Gonzalez asserted in a tweet. “That FandomWire report is inaccurate. He will appear on [the] Arrowverse Elseworlds crossover and that’s it. Not a backdoor pilot attempt either.” Oops. Joshua Lapin-Bertone, a contributor for DC Universe (among other outlets), corroborated Gonzalez statement in a reply to the initial tweet, saying, “I’ve checked as well. My sources in Warner Bros. confirm that it’s not happening.” Vince Hoover,…

Like many Oldtakus, VIZ Media is a company I love and admire. Since I first saw Ranma 1/2 and its “charming” Canadian dub, I knew they were a rising force in the anime production community. While companies like Manga, Pioneer, and ADV struggled, VIZ continued to move upward and out and I’m always so excited for the new anime they bring to the forefront. Today, we’re going to talk about three, count that, three new pieces of media getting ready for their bodacious Blu-Ray releases!

The CW, as it would seem, feels as if there’s room for one more, as Fandom Wire reports that talks are heating up to give Tyler Hoechlin’s Superman his own show on the network. With Henry Cavill out of the role on the big screen, Warner Bros. is hoping to keep the Man of Steel in the spotlight and they’ve given their blessing to The CW to develop a show based on Hoechlin’s version of the iconic hero. It’s reported that WB has “lost confidence in Superman’s ability to draw audiences to the cinema” and considering how much praise the Arrowverse’s…

It was many years ago, probably sometime in 2002 to be exact and my state of mind leading up to these events are questionable. But hell, it’s the Halloween season, so I’m going to do my part by telling all of Nerdbot’s readers about that time I think I might have seen a ghost. Now, let me preface with this– I do not know what my relationship with the undead…
