There may be a barren couple of years on the big screen before Batman vs. Superman arrives in 2016, but the 2014-2015 TV season sure looks promising for DC fans.
Earlier this week it was announced that FOX has picked up the Batman prequel series Gotham [watch the first trailer here], while today brought news that The CW has given full season orders to iZombie and the Arrow spin-off The Flash. Well, we can now add another to that list – and mark off a clean sweep of pilot pick-ups for Warner Bros. TV this year – with NBC giving a 13-episode order to Constantine.
Constantine has been written by David S. Goyer (Man of Steel) and Daniel Cerone (The Mentalist), with Neil Marshall (The Descent, Game of Thrones) directing a pilot that sees Matt Ryan (Criminal Minds: Suspect Behavior) as the supernatural detective alongside Harold Perrineau (Lost), Lucy Griffiths (Winter’s Tale) and Charles Halford (True Detective).
