There is no homosexual terrorist Johnny Silverhand
Here's an IGN preview clip of Constanteen that makes the man himself sound pretty spot-on awesome but ehhh that woman's acting seems pretty horrific, to me at least.

That's really lame. I want to give the show a chance, but knowing Constantine is going to pronounce his name that way is going to bother the hell out of me.

When he is in America they should pronounce it teen, because that's the way 'mericans pronounce it. When he visits England it should be tine.

I heard there was going to be a Constantine TV series and I was so excited until realizing that it isn't about Kermit the Frog's evil, mole-sporting double.

Boy how wrong YOU are! I just don't understand how an American Idol contestant got his own show, much less why we're discussing it in this thread.

Just saw Jonathan Hickman wrote an episode of Da Vinci's Demons, and Googling it, apparently Matt Fraction did one too.

The scarlet letter was her passport into regions where other women dared not tread. Shame, Despair, Solitude! These had been her teachers, stern and wild ones, and they had made her strong, but taught her much amiss.

There is always a chance that she is still alive and being tortured in hell. This is Constantine we are talking about, the horrors that can happen to his loved ones are endless!

Is this really going to be airing on a Friday? Are Fridays no longer death slots or is NBC just saying "good luck new guy" to the show?

They're giving it Grimm as a lead-in, which is basically the only thing on their schedule that makes sense to pair it with. Plus Friday on NBC is kind of a safe haven if you're a cult show. Grimm and Hannibal have both made it pretty far (granted, Hannibal has the co-production = cheap thing going for it.)

It's also taking up the slot that Hannibal is on so it seems NBC is making Friday their horror night.

Being on NBC is a death slot, so being on Fridays is just a matter of degrees at this point.

Plus I have the feeling that they realize the audience they're targeting is *probably* not the type that will watch it live, anyway, so it doesn't matter as much.

It's less that Fridays are no longer death slots, and more that every other day of the week is starting to pull Friday numbers on multiple networks. Both ABC and Fox are starting to openly schedule shows on Fridays now as well.

So... Hannibal can eat people on Friday nights, but John Constantine can't smoke?

Fwiw, a friend of mine who adores the Keanu film was flabbergasted to find out he wouldnt be smoking in the show. She didnt even know it was based on a comic, but still said "isn't that like a really big part of his character?"

Its all quite logical

Violence - good
Sex - bad
smoking - worse

I have also heard that he will be smoking, it just cant be in the ads.

This was the last I heard as well (probably in this thread). Though I can't help but imagine theyll just kill the issue with a throwaway "oh, no thanks, I quit."

in the b plot we see football hooligans get ripped apart and put back together as an inhuman beast in excruciating detail. The complaints are about the smoking plot line.

I think Goyer might be able to sell NBC on it if they do the cancer story. He smokes, but he's (narratively) punished for it.

While they've been pushing the Batman villains the producers of Gotham have announced that they've moved actors Andrew Stewart-Jones (Crispus Allen) and Victoria Cartagena (Renee Montoya) to series regulars. Of course they also upgraded Cory Michael Smith (Edward Nygma) too so there's still that going on

Full preview for Flash airing right after the Arrow episode.

While this may just be blue skying, it sounds like they're going to market it with the sexier idea that its going to be full of Batman villains but the show is still mostly going to be about the actual cop stuff.

FFS they needed to just make Gotham Central or, heck, just make a Batman TV show.
