Even with Superman and Batman getting their own team-up movie in 2015 as a sequel to Man Of Steel, don't count out the other members of the Justice League and heroes/ heroines of DC Comics yet, as Warner Bros. has more news, one good and one somewhat bad.
Looks like The Fastest Man Alive is hitting the small screen yet again, thanks to the success of the other DC Comics superhero TV Series "Arrow" that's based on the Emerald Archer Green Arrow.
In a report by Deadline, The CW Network is reportedly adding The Flash to their list of priorities for upcoming TV Series, following the character's inclusion and appearance in the second season of "Arrow". CW Executive Mark Pedowitz has confirmed that the Scarlet Speedster will indeed be an iteration of the Silver Age and New 52 fan favorite Barry Allen. Arrow creators Greg Berlanti and Andrew Kreisberg, as well as DC Comics' Chief Creative Officer and scribe Geoff Johns, are planning to include The Flash as a recurring character alongside Stephen Amell's Arrow, and while he'll be appearing in TV, Berlanti also states that the character is still getting his own feature film, and that "no conflict" will occur between the two mediums. How this will fit into inevitable plans for a "Justice League" film in the DC Cinematic Universe after "Superman Vs Batman" is anyone's guess, but here's hoping for something (and perhaps a cameo in the new TV show by original 1990's Flash TV Series actor, John Wesley Ship). For more on the story, visit the source post at Newsarama.
Meanwhile, the other superhero TV series in development by the CW, namely "Amazon" and featuring the DC Comics heroine Wonder Woman, is reportedly on "pause" and will be put on hold for the moment. Mr. Pedowitz reports that "the script isn't where we want it", referring to the CW/ WB's dissatisfaction with the development process, making a debut in 2014 somewhat unlikely. For more information on the story, visit the source post at Superherohype.
Expect more from The Flash and Wonder Woman in the small and big screen soon from WB, DC Comics, and The CW.

X-Men: Days of Future Past: Viral Marketing Campaign begins, shows Sentinels and Peter Dinklage as Bolivar Trask
If you've seen "The Wolverine" in theaters and stayed until the mid-credits sequence, there'd be a special scene playing that connects the James Mangold movie directly into next year's most anticipated X-Men sequel, namely X-Men: Days of Future Past. Reuniting the cast from previous X-Men films with that of the 2011 prequel hit X-Men: First Class, the movie will be directed by X-Men and X2 film guru Bryan Singer, returning once again to helm the mutants in their finest hour.
Not one to keep the surprises and build-up at bay, Singer has constantly tweeted surprises in store for the next film, including some behind-the-scenes photos every now and then of cast members suiting up as your favorite men and women from the X-Men film universe. However, the newest viral marketing campaign heats things up by showing off more from Trask Industries and their mutant hunting robot drone army that are the Sentinels... Featuring "Game of Thrones" star and Tyrion Lannister himself Peter Dinklage, who plays Bolivar Trask in the film!

The Wolverine: SHH feature on Famke Janssen's return as Jean Grey
Now playing in theaters worldwide and adding a sixth appearance as Logan to Hugh Jackman's resume, The Wolverine not only serves as a sequel to 2006's X-Men: The Last Stand, but also carries over a "figure from the past" that haunts the X-Man and contributes to his self-imposed exile - his unrequited and deceased love interest from the X-Men, Jean Grey.
Reprising her role in the film, actress Famke Janssen has played the role of the Ms. Grey four times now, and has co-starred in three main X-Men films since the original X-Men film in 2000 alongside Mr. Jackman as Wolverine. Reprising her role in a small yet pivotal role as a painful memory that the Ol' Canucklehead can't seen to get over.

DC Comics reveals Batgirl's look & Nightwing's role in the New 52 "Zero Year" story
With Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo's latest Batman story arc "Zero Year" going strong with the first two issues and attempting to properly explain the origins of The Dark Knight in the New 52 Universe, DC Comics steps up things in the game by giving fans a first look at how Batgirl/ Barbara Gordon will look during the early years of Batman's career.
Looking drastically different and more on the style of a vigilante crime-fighter in the making, Barbara will be appearing in a very un-Batgirl way in the tie-in Batgirl story that compliments Zero Year, sporting a suit that sees her starting down her path to becoming a fellow winged avenger alongside Gotham City's Dark Knight Defender. According to DC's E-i-C Bob Harris, she'll be forced to defend her home and brother James Gordon Jr. when they're attacked, and through the experience realize her potential to make a difference and protect what she cares for in a new kind of way. The Batgirl tie-in will be written by Marguerite Benett, and illustrated by Fernando Pasarin and Jonathan Galapion. More info can be seen via the source posts at DC Comics.com and Newsarama.
Other titles will also bring in a "Zero Year" feel to them, including Batman's first sidekick and protege Dick Grayson, aka the first Robin and present day Nightwing. In his own series, the tie in will explore Dick's time a year prior to his parents' death, and see where the "Flying Graysons" figure during the events of "Zero Year". For more on the story as well as Nightwing series writer Kyle Higgins thoughts, visit the source post at Newsarama.
Batman: The Zero Year is currently playing out in Batman by Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo.

The Wolverine: "The Many Screams of Wolverine" shows Hugh Jackman unleashing it
Practically out in international territories and ready to cut loose elsewhere worldwide, Hugh Jackman is back to reprise his signature role as Logan for a new X-Men spinoff adventure that will test his resolve and force him to face his demons in "The Wolverine".
Directed by James Mangold, the film is a very different take at the X-Men's most dangerous member, and something that explores a side of the character that's rarely seen and goes beyond the heroics and mutant warfare that's more associated with the X-Franchise. This movie's setting in Japan highlights Logan's background as a warrior, and forces him to confront his immortality and come to terms with the demons plaguing and tormenting his soul. It's a unique piece all in all, and something that definitely makes Hugh shine out as the definitive actor to play the part for the pretty impressive sixth time, with a seventh coming happening with next year's X-Men: Days of Future Past.
Now, as Wolverine prepares to tear it open anew in 3D and 2D screens before July ends, Vulture has put together this impressive Supercut of "The Many Screams of Wolverine". Those who have seen the entire X-Men Movie franchise know what the deal here is about, and you just have to see it to believe it.
