This weekend at New York Comic Con, the cast of Gotham greeted a legion of devoted fans and answered a few burning questions surrounding the show’s third season. As with any TV show based on a comic book, theories are forever rampant, so it’s always welcome to get answers straight from the source, even if they can’t always go into as much detail as desired.
With superhero crossovers being the talk of the town, many fans hope for Gotham to be able to eventually participate. But just because two series are based on DC properties doesn’t mean that titanium hard red tape between networks can be cut. And, despite Gotham airing on Fox and shows such as The Flash and Arrow residing over at The CW, that doesn’t mean that David Mazouz (Bruce Wayne) can’t dream like the rest of us:
“Now that The Flash can time travel,...

When it was first announced that James Frain (True Detective, True Blood) was set to join the cast of Gotham season 2 he was identified as one Theo Galavan, brother of Tabitha (Jessica Lucas), who we were told would be introduced as a version of DC villain, Tigress. Because of the unfamiliar name, it was assumed that Theo would be another character created just for the show, but it seems that may not be the case.
According to Gotham executive producer Danny Cannon, Theo will represent the “origins of a very famous DC villain” – one who will rely on other villains to help him achieve his goals.” The character will be set up as a “billionaire industrialist who presents himself as the savior of Gotham,” and the parallels with Bruce Wayne’s origins have led to speculation that he might turn out to be a version of Thomas Elliot, Aka Hush...

Villains are everything to a story, and especially in the comic book medium, a hero is only as good as the villains that they thwart. Batman has the most recognizable, most iconic, and overall best rogue’s gallery in all of comics. From classics such as Two-Face, Catwoman, and the Riddler to relative newcomers like Bane, The Court of Owls, and Hush, all of these villains, and are strongly ingrained in comic book lore to a degree unmatched by other comic book villains. There are some heroes like Superman, Shazam, and the Hulk who have such a shallow crop of villains to draw from that it works against a creator’s ability to tell quality stories. Batman doesn’t have this problem; in fact, one of the greatest comic book villains calls the Dark Knight his archenemy.

Perhaps one of the biggest selling points for Fox’s freshman Gotham series is its promise to explore the corrupt city and the people within it at a time before Bruce Wayne appeared as the Caped Crusader. Villains who have challenged him time and time again all had to start somewhere, crafted and warped by their upbringings, uncontrollable circumstances or otherwise, and Gotham offers viewers the opportunity to see many of them long before they become the easily recognizable figures they are.
So far, the show has introduced a number of characters big and small from Batman’s rogues gallery, from crime lords like Sal Maroni and Carmine Falcone, future supervillians like Oswald Cobblepot and Edward Nigma and, of course, a young Selina Kyle, with confirmed future appearances by other characters like Harvet Dent, Victor Zsasz and Thomas Elliot along with the long-term tease of the Joker. Suffice it to say,...

Batman villains are a lot like jelly beans; they’re mostly delicious, but every once in a while you get a brown one that tastes less like root beer and more like garbage juice. The good news for Bat-Villains though is that they live in a world of fantasy where they can be re-imaged and updated for current times, whereas bad tasting jelly beans only option is trash can city.
For every Joker, Riddler, and Two-Face Batman has also battled villains who wear Guy Fawkes masks, have quilt-themed crimes, and use kites as their main mode of transportation. Formidable they are not, but thanks to DC’s New 52 campaign, many of these characters could be given a second (or in some cases, third) chance at life. So while they’re reinventing some of the worst characters, why not give new life to the ones that had all the potential in the world,...

After a challenging 2012, the lines have been drawn and the troops are in position for the 2013 radio year. Colin Delaney looks across the country at the old and new faces and the biggest fights on the cards in the battle for the ratings win.
2012 was a tumultuous year for Australia’s radio industry. Marred by several well-publicised incidents, the reputations and standing of talent, management and key brands in the space took a beating, as did the image of the medium as a whole.
But the stage is now set for the battle of 2013 after the ratings season begins on January 20 and those in the industry Encore spoke to are hopeful the coming 12 months will see a turnaround with a number of new additions to the talent lineup and the return of many industry veterans.

Hinch: back at Seven
Derryn Hinch, who was sacked by Melbourne radio station 3Aw last month, has re-emerged at Channel Seven, his former employer.
The outspoken broadcaster takes on a role as national public affairs commentator working across Seven shows Sunday Night, Seven News and Sunrise.
Hinch starts in the new role in November, when his time at 3Aw comes to an end. However, he is slated to appear on Sunrise on Monday morning.
“My doctor says I’ve got a Rolls-Royce liver – and now I’m back at the Rolls-Royce network,” said Hinch, referring to a liver transplant he had last year.
“I can’t wait to get started. I’ve got a lot of energy, and a lot of ideas and stories I want to pursue. The fat lady hasn’t sung yet. In fact she won’t be needed on stage for a long time,” he said.

3Aw has announced Tom Elliott as its replacement for Derryn Hinch, who was fired by the station earlier this week.
Talking on 3Aw’s Mornings with Neil Mitchell, station Gm Shane Healy said: “We want to keep positioning 3Aw to be the best station in Australia. Not just now, but in three, five and ten years’ time.”Healy said the slot would probably expand to a three hour show.
The axing of the controversial Hinch, whose contract will run until the end of the year came as something of a surprise. At the last survey, 3Aw was the market leader in drivetime with 12.6% share.
Elliott, who has filled in for Hinch in the past, is scheduled to take over in the new year.

Gil and Inez are on a trip to Paris, tagging along with her parents. It’s evident from the start that their personalities clash. He is a successful Hollywood screenwriter in the middle of writing his first original novel. Gil (Owen Wilson) finds the French capital exceptional; his new surroundings offer a serenity that escapes him back in California. She on the other hand, can’t get home fast enough. Inez (Rachel McAdams) scoffs at her fiancé’s new occupational wishes. She sees their future enveloped in established luxury and celebrity; a move to Malibu is in the works.
During a discussion of conflicting politics, dinner is interrupted by Paul and Carol, friends of Inez. Paul is played by Michael Sheen. Sheen has a history of portraying clever characters; here, he is merely a pseudo-intellectual, claiming expertise in every field imaginable. To Gil’s chagrin, a time for exploration is...

I have a pair of beautiful, wonderful, fun, and witty friends who have been known to morph into screeching harpies that take delight in ruining the things I love. Recently, while watching The A-Team, they pointed out that Patrick Wilson (a long cherished favorite of mine) is endowed with a particularly feminine pout. The evocative phrase they used, in fact, was "ladylips" (I know, trust me, I know). The whole movie, alternately cackling and pursing their lips, they tore the object of my affection to shreds. The other night during a screening of Willow, one of those harpies took that institute of male beauty, slim Val Kilmer, in her talons and maw. Well, if I can't have nice things, readers, neither can you:
Patrick "Ladylips" Wilson
Val "Before He Was Puffy He Was Ladylipped" Kilmer
But I didn't come here today merely to speak to you of ladylips. Ever since...

Weekly column from Kevin Coll, where he thinks like an Executive and gives Hollywood some ideas for movies. Never his own of course but he certainly loves talking about remakes, books to film and much more in this series.
I finally have a pitch column that I can get behind that I know many will get excited about. I have decided to predict Christopher Nolan’s Batman 3 story now known as The Dark Knight Rises. The greatest thing about this column article is it’s one that I have been writing in my head since the end of The Dark Knight, and though details change here and there, the one constant has been a full circle storyline encompassing the early days of Batman before he fully realizes the man he needs to be and will always be for Gotham.
First off, I feel the need to recognize Jeph Loeb...
