CLOAK & DAGGER: TV Series Will Be A YA Love Story

Superheroes are the latest buzz in our culture. With TV shows, movies, conventions, Disney, it's no wonder comic book franchises like, Marvel and DC are squeezing as much juice as they can out of what they do best. When it comes to live-action television series, The CW and Netflix takes home the gold. Networks like CBS tried to get on that bandwagon with Supergirl but failed miserably until handing her over to the CW, TNT gave up on Teen Titans and FOX is barely staying afloat with Gotham. This time, Freeform (formally known as ABC Family) is hopping on the bandwagon with a Cloak and Dagger TV show.

For those familiar with the dynamic duo, their story seems perfect for television; a couple of teenage runaways who are granted with super powers after taking bizarre drugs. Sounds like something more that Netflix can deliver, right? So when Freeform announced they'd be taking the wheel, it was a bit of a shock. Then Joseph Loeb, Head of Marvel Television revealed that the show will be more of a love story and not any love story, a YA love story.

So it will be like every other show on the network just the couple will have super powers. However, Loeb stands by the announcement stating, "the characters and story speak to a younger audience."

GOTHAM: Here's Your New Poison Ivy!

Oh man! This season is going to drive me nuts!

For those who've been watching the show, you're more familiar with Clare Foley but the character will be undergoing a transformation-

“Following an encounter with a monster from Indian Hill, Ivy Pepper finds herself reborn, and one step closer to the DC villain she is destined to become: Poison Ivy. Now a 19-year-old woman who’s harnessed the full power of her charms, she sets her sights on Bruce Wayne.”

 So let's give  a warm welcome to Maggie Geha who has taken on the role that brings one of our favorite Batman girls to life. Poison Ivy, everyone. Poison Ivy!

GOTHAM: Harley Quinn and Killer Croc! They're in! But not this season...

Executive Producer, John Stevens announced that Batman characters Harley Quinn and a proto Killer Croc will be be in the show due to Hugo Strange's experiments in Indian Hill last season, their appearances, however, won't make it in this season due to Suicide Squad premiering, which makes me wonder why announce it during this years TCA Press Tour if it won't be relevant this coming season?

Either way, it's all good to know that some of our favorite villains will be appearing sometime in the near future, so long as the show doesn't decline in ratings. If you want to see them on TV then watch Gotham on FOX.
