ARROW NEWS:

1. The Flash Season 5 Trailer Adds a New Speedster to the Team (Date: 21 July 2018)
   1. The trailer begins by recapping the events from the Season 4 finale, where Nora helped Barry stop a satellite from crashing into Central City to her surprise identity reveal. Next, we learn Nora’s superhero name is XS, which is a nickname Barry gave her as a kid. Somehow, Nora has gotten herself stuck in the present-day, and Barry is concerned she could “Marty Mcfly herself out of existence.”

2. The Flash Casts Chris Klein As Season 5’s Big Villain (Date: 21 July 2018)
   1. Chris Klein, known for his roles in Election and American Pie, will play the primary antagonist in the upcoming fifth season of The Flash. The actor will portray Central City’s newest menace, the DC supervillain Cicada. Introduced in 2001 by Geoff Johns and Scott Kolins in The Flash #170, the Cicada of the comics is David Hersch who was filled with regret after murdering his wife when he was struck by lightning. As a result, he gained the ability to absorb the life-force of others, allowing him to dramatically extend his life. Believing he was somehow linked to The Flash by the similar accidents in which they gained their powers, Hersch founded a cult whose members were dedicated to murdering everyone the Scarlet Speedster ever saved, using lightning bolt-shaped daggers. As the result of a vision, Hersch believed that the energy from all the people The Flash saved, and from the hero himself, would allow him to resurrect his dead wife.

   1. The CW’s Supergirl will borrow again from the Man of Steel’s sprawling supporting cast to introduce DC antihero/villain Manchester Black in Season 4. David Ajala (Doctor Who, The Dark Knight) has been cast in a recurring role as “the type of guy who brings a knife to a gunfight and still walks away the winner. With a dark past, he easily deflects the brutality of his mission with his charm and sense of humor.”

He’ll play the “adept and politically minded” Vice President Baker, described as an unlikely leader who “steps up in a big way when his country needs him most.”

7. Supergirl Adds Superman Mythos’ Otis, Villain Mercy Graves for S4 (Date: 28 July 2018)
   1. The CW’s Supergirl is set to welcome some new villainous players to National City. The DC villain Mercy Graves is coming on-board the series… and she won’t be coming alone: she’ll be bringing her brother Otis along with her. Rohna Mitra has been cast in the recurring role of Mercy Graves. On Supergirl, Mercy will be “stepping out of the Luthor shadow and running her own show,” according to the character description. “With her biting wit and lethal brawn, Mercy steadily becomes a key figure in National City’s growing ‘human-first’ movement.”

A decade after a tragic mistake, family man Chas and occult detective John Constantine set out to cure Chas’s daughter Trish from a mysterious supernatural coma. With the help of the mysterious Nightmare Nurse, the influential Queen of Angels, and brutal Aztec God Mictlantecuhtli, the pair just might have a chance at outsmarting the demon Beroul to save Trish’s soul. In a world of shadows and dark magic, not everything is what it seems, and there’s always a price to pay. The path to redemption is never easy, and if Constantine is to succeed, he must navigate through the dark urban underbelly of Los Angeles, outwit the most cunning spawns of hell, and come face to face with arch-nemesis Nergal – all while battling his own inner demons!
