Warner Bros. Television and DC Entertainment Join Forces to Present the First Ever WBTV/DC Entertainment Saturday Night, Featuring the World Premiere of “Gotham” and Much More on Saturday, July 26, at Comic-Con 2014
(June 30, 2014 – Burbank, CA) – Get ready for a spectacular Saturday night at Comic-Con 2014, courtesy of Warner Bros. Television (WBTV) and DC Entertainment (DCE). For the first time ever at SDCC, WBTV and DCE will present a three-hour special event on Saturday night, July 26, designed specifically for DC Comics fans and featuring some of DC Comics’ greatest characters. Kicking off the exclusive evening is the world premiere public screening of the highly anticipated new drama series “Gotham” (the only screening of “Gotham” at this year’s Comic-Con), followed by a screening of the complete pilot of new action-drama “The Flash,” and exclusive video presentations from returning hit “Arrow” and new thriller “Constantine.” Cast members and producers from all four shows will make special appearances throughout the night.
Before there was Batman, there was “Gotham.” The origin story of some of DC Comics greatest Super-Villains and vigilantes, this one hour drama follows Detective Jim Gordon’s rise to power in a dangerously corrupt city that would spawn iconic characters such as The Penguin, Catwoman, The Riddler and a young Bruce Wayne. Airing Mondays at 8/7c this fall on FOX, “Gotham” stars Ben McKenzie (“Southland”), Donal Logue (“Vikings”), Sean Pertwee (“Elementary”), Robin Lord Taylor (“The Walking Dead”), Erin Richards (“Being Human”), David Mazouz (“Touch”), Camren Bicondova, Zabryna Guevara (“Burn Notice”), Cory Michael Smith (“Camp X-Ray”), Victoria Cartagena (“The Good Wife”), Andrew Stewart-Jones (“Person of Interest”) and Jada Pinkett Smith (“The Matrix” films). Bruno Heller (“The Mentalist,” “Rome”) wrote the “Gotham” pilot, which was directed by Danny Cannon (“Nikita”). Heller, Cannon and John Stephens (“Gossip Girl”) are executive producers of the series, which is based on the characters from DC Comics and is a production of Warner Bros. Television.

This lightning-paced super hero drama follows the high-speed adventures of the Fastest Man Alive.

John Constantine is a man waging war against the forces of darkness — from both within himself and the outside world. An irreverent con-man and occult expert, he doesn’t come down on the side of either good or evil…but ultimately might be the only thing defending us against the dark forces from beyond. Premiering October 24, “Constantine” will air Fridays at 10/9c on NBC and stars Matt Ryan (“The Tudors”) as John Constantine, Charles Halford (“True Detective”) as Chas and Harold Perrineau (“Lost”) as Manny. Based on the characters from DC Comics and produced by Bonanza Productions Inc. in association with Warner Bros. Television, “Constantine” is executive produced by Daniel Cerone (“Dexter,” “The Mentalist”) and David S. Goyer (“The Dark Knight” trilogy). Neil Marshall (“The Descent”) directed the pilot from a teleplay by Cerone and story by Cerone & Goyer.

After being gone for five years, during which time he suffered unimaginable ordeals, billionaire Oliver Queen returned home to Starling City with a mysterious agenda and a new set of skills that he uses in a war on crime in this hard-hitting action series. Returning for its third season October 8, “Arrow” airs Wednesdays at 8/7c on The CW. Starring Stephen Amell, Katie Cassidy, David Ramsey, Willa Holland, Emily Bett Rickards, Colton Haynes, with John Barrowman and Paul Blackthorne, “Arrow” was developed and is executive produced by Greg Berlanti, Marc Guggenheim and Andrew Kreisberg.
