‘Arrow’: Caity Lotz Set To Lead ‘Birds Of Prey’ Team-Up In New Episode

Birds Of Prey Caity Lotz The CW Arrow Sea Shimooka Katherine McNamara

Caity Lotz is heading to The CW’s Arrow for a new Birds of Prey inspired episode.

Last December, fans of The CW’s Arrowverse were treated to the year’s crossover event. The exciting crossover, titled Elseworlds, featured the titular heroes of The CW’s Arrow, The Flash, and Supergirl teaming up to take down a nefarious foe who has taken hold of the timeline. The one Arrowverse series exempt from the crossover’s line-up was Legends of Tomorrow. The CW team-up series returns with new episodes this April but before then, fans will be able to see one of the series’ leads, Caity Lotz, in a very different kind of a team-up.

According to a report from TV Line, Legends of Tomorrow‘s Sara Lance (Caity Lotz) will appear in an upcoming episode of Arrow, season seven episode eighteen, alongside fellow Arrowverse vigilante, Laurel Lance (Katie Cassidy Rodgers). This is what Arrow showrunner had to tell TV Line about the exciting Birds of Prey-inspired episode.

“We are doing a Birds of Prey-inspired episode, that Laurel (played by Katie Cassidy Rodgers) will be involved with.”

The Birds of Prey will also be featured in a big screen adaptation, though it won’t star the heroes of the Arrowverse. Instead, a new installment of the DC Extended Universe, titled Birds of Prey, will bring Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn into the iconic female-led team alongside characters such as the Huntress and Black Canary.

We’ll be sure to keep you updated on all news regarding Caity Lotz’s upcoming return to The CW’s Arrow as soon as more information becomes available. Are you excited for Caity Lotz to return in the new episode? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below!

Top Actors To Replace Ben Affleck In Matt Reeves’ ‘The Batman’

Ben Affleck is officially out as Batman and it’s a pretty sad day.

Words cannot describe how sad I am to see Ben Affleck announce that he’s no longer Batman. His Batman is why I do what I do. In Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, I fell in love with his comic book-accurate interpretation of the Caped Crusader. It was a breath of fresh air and it felt like we finally had the one true Batman.

Three years have quickly sped by and we’re officially going to receive a new Batman for his next movie. Last night, Ben Affleck announced that he will not return as the Dark Knight in Matt Reeves’ The Batman and now everyone’s attention has moved towards wanting to know who the next Bruce Wayne will be. Matt Reeves is said to want an actor that’s around 20 years younger than Affleck while Warner Bros. wants someone older. My guess is that Reeves wants a fresh start while the studio wants an older actor for crossover potential.

In this list, I will discuss the actors I think can replace Ben Affleck as Batman using the parameters that Matt Reeves and Warner Bros. want. Hit Next to see our picks to play the Batman.

Michael Fassbender

Michael Fassbender is an X-Men alum and no stranger to comic book franchises. The actor has shown multiple levels of range and could definitely handle the Batman/Bruce Wayne personality. If they go with the older range for the next Dark Knight, then Fassbender is probably one of the best choices to take over the role.

Ben Barnes

Ben Barnes is out of a job after The Punisher season 2 and he’s one of the best actors in that series. The second season tied up Barnes’ arc on The Punisher and the actor has already told us that that he’d love to play the Caped Crusader. Barnes definitely has the pretty boy look going on for him and I wonder what his take on Bruce Wayne could be.

Ryan Gosling

I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again: Ryan Gosling needs to star in a superhero movie. I’ve always thought Gosling would make a great Batman. Every role that he’s done has shown us his capability and he could crush it as Bruce Wayne.

Jon Hamm

Jon Hamm is my top choice for an older Batman. If Warner Bros. wants to cast an older actor for crossover potential, Jon Hamm is the studio’s best bet. He has a similar look to Ben Affleck, and c’mon, the guy’s look just screams Bruce Wayne.

Armie Hammer

Armie Hammer is 32 years old and was cast as the Caped Crusader in George Miller’s Justice League: Mortal. That film will never see the light of day, but that doesn’t mean that Hammer doesn’t deserve a second shot at being the Batman. He’s charming, broody and will probably give his all for this role. Armie Hammer is a great option because he’s young enough for Matt Reeves and Warner Bros. could work in a way for him to crossover with the rest of the DC Extended Universe.

Richard Madden

Game of Thrones alum Richard Madden is my top choice to replace Ben Affleck as Batman. The actor is young, has the look and definitely has the acting chops to play the duality of Batman and Bruce Wayne. Madden just won the Golden Globe for Best Actor in a Television series for the BBC drama Bodyguard, so Warner Bros. may want to quickly snatch him up.
