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.

SIMONE MISSICK: Misty Knight in 'Luke Cage' not 'Iron FIst'



Earlier, Jeph Loeb, Head of Marvel Television said that Simone Missick will playing Misty Knight in Iron Fist but that was a mess up on his part. What he meant was that Missick will be play Misty Knight in Luke Cage which is scheduled to premiere on Netflix on September 30. Luke Cage will be leading The Defenders crossover series following Daredevil, Jessica Jones and followed by Iron Fist. Iron Fist will premiere early 2017 while Defenders is planned to release sometime next year on Netflix.

CHARLIZE THERON: Happy Birthday!


Am I the only one who thought she would have made a great Selena Kyle (Catwoman)?

Happy Birthday Charlize Theron!

ROTTEN TOMATOES: Losing its cred? Probably.



Since Suicide Squad premiered, the reviews have swayed away from the 'Fresh' score to a 'Rotten' one. Fans even petitioned to get the site shut down due to favoritism. Their claim:

“We need this site to be shut down because It’s [ sic ] Critics always give The DC Extended Universe movies unjust Bad Reviews,”
If you're like me, you stay away from reviews and wait to make your own. Critics and fans alike hated Batman V. Superman, according the site, however, if you read users reviews from IMDb, reviews leaned in the films favor. Is there something wrong going on at Rotten Tomatoes or does Rotten Tomatoes have users that favor a certain type of movie?

Regardless of what is going on, this could be the beginning of the end for the site, seeing that it's bringing to light some questions that can ruin its cred. Take this article for example:

The author explains in the first part about what the problem is that's been going on and the second part (both parts are short and the second begins after the video post) goes on to explain their experience while rating/reviewing movies, Tarzan (for example) versus Suicide Squad. Both got the same score of 2.5 (by the user) but Tarzan got the 'Fresh' seal of approval while Suicide Squad received the dreaded 'Rotten'. (Pictured Above).

Something smells rancid to me.
