Arkham Origins Trailer
A new trailer for the upcoming Batman game has been released. It shows the exclusive content you get for getting the game for the PS3. "Arkham Origins" is a prequel to the previous two Batman games "Arkham Asylum" and "Arkham City".
Another DC TV show!
A couple of days ago, the show "Gotham" was announced by Fox. Well, Deadline announces that NBC is making a show based on John Constantine, an occult detective in the DC universe. Looks like DC is trying to get many TV shows to make up for their lack of movies. I hope the TV show is better than 2005 movie based on the same character.

New show called "Gotham"
Fox has announced a new drama based on Gotham City, without Batman! The show is supposed to be based on Commissioner James Gordon and the rest of the GCPD before Batman was around. I'm kind of interested in seeing a cop show with some Batman villains. It might work.

Injustice comic going on hiatus
The weekly comic "Injustice: Gods Among Us", based on the video game with the same name, is going on hiatus until 2014. The comic finished its first run this week with issue #36. The comic was a prequel to the video game and became very successful in a short period of time.

Williams and Blackman leave "Batwoman"
After some serious editorial changes, "Batwoman" writers J.H. Williams III and W. Haden Blackman have announced they are leaving the series after issue 26. Apparently, they were prohibited from writing about Batwoman getting married with her girlfriend, Maggie.
"Unfortunately, in recent months, DC has asked s to alter or completely discard many long-standing storylines in ways that we feel compromise the character and the series. we were told to ditch plans for Killer Croc's origins; forced to drastically alter the original ending of the current arc, which would have defined Batwoman's heroic future in bold new ways; and, most crushingly, prohibited from ever showing Kate and Maggie actually getting married. All of these editorial decisions came at the last minute, and as always after a year or more of planning and plotting on our end" stated the creative team.
It isn't the first time DC has lost writers because of editorial changes. DC should change editors or give writers more freedom with their series.

Buccellato and Manapul leave "The Flash"
After 3 years of working on "The Flash", Brian Buccellato and Francis Manapul confirmed they're leaving the series after issue #25.
"We were REALLY honored to have the opportunity to usher Barry, Iris, Patty, Lenny, Forrest into the New 52. We've lived and breathed Barry and are sorely gonna miss him, but after 3 years and over 30 issues (annuals, zero, Villains Month), we felt it was time to Move Forward and take on a new creative challenge", stated by the creative team.
I really enjoyed their run on "The Flash" and am disappointed that they are leaving. "The Flash" became one of my favorite series when they started working on it. Even though they are leaving the series, they said they would still be working with DC. I hope their next series is just as good as "The Flash".
