San Diego Comic Con starts today, and there should be a whole wealth of information about future projects that will spill out of the exclusive trailers that will be shown (Guardians of the Galaxy 2 is rumored to have one), the booths that will be set up, and the panels featuring actors, writers, and directors that fans will be able to attend. Of course, before all of the exciting bits of news make their way onto fanboy sites, rumors are aplenty about what to expect. One of the rumors that's made it's way online is the possible appearances of three DC characters on The CW's DC televisions shows.
The first of these rumors is that Matt Ryan, who starred in the short lived NBC series Constantine, will be making his way back to the Arrow-verse some time this season. The CW recently acquired the rights to the television show from NBC, and is streaming all of the episodes through their CW Seed app. It's been suggested that The CW might bring the television series back for good to join the rest of their DC programs, but if it's to happen, it won't be until next year. Ryan is currently filming another series for the BBC, but has shown great interest in returning to the role of John Constantine. Maybe we'll hear something about the show's return, or Ryan's possible guest appearance next season some time this week.
Another claim that is being reported by Bleeding Cool is that there may be a very slim chance that The CW might be able to work out an agreement with Fox to have Bruce Wayne/Batman make an appearance on one of their shows at some point in the future (but don't hold your breath), and that both Kate "Batwoman" Kane and Barbara Gordon (a.k.a. Oracle...no, she won't be appearing as Batgirl) will also be appearing on Supergirl. The two of them working together is being said to have the same dynamic as the Birds of Prey from the comic books. The article goes on to say that it's the hope of The CW to add one more superhero show to their programing so they can give fans a DC superhero show every night of the week.
Like I said previously, these are all rumors. Even with SDCC taking place these next four days, we may not find out whether or not they are true until some later time, but it should be noted that Bleeding Cool has a very strong working relationship with DC, so these rumors may not be as far fetched one might believe.
So what do you think? Could these three characters actually be making their way onto the small screen next season? How do you think they will fit into the whole Arrow-verse? Do you think that this 'verse is getting to crowded or complicated? Let me know your thoughts in the comments section down below, and I'll keep bring you the most interesting news from SDCC starting Monday.
