This looks absolutely fantastic.

Not gonna lie it looks a lot better than the Keanu Reeves and Shia Le...whateverhisname movie in 05. He also kinda looks like Sting and is British so thumbs up to that.

This is nitpicky, and I admit that right off the bat, but...It'd be nice if his costume didn't look like Cosplay.

That's the problem when you exactly replicate the costume from the comic, i thought the same thing but after couple of episodes it will start to feel more natural...

Ok, so not wanting to necro-post or anything, but I've just watched the leaked pilot... has anyone else seen it yet?

Yep!! And I loved every min of it. Not at all familiar with Constantine in the comics and I've never seen the movie but you don't really need to be to see the show.

[pennydreadful]

Oh dude, it was awesome - it's like the entertainment gods decided to give us this show as an apology for the movie. It's the equivalent of showing up at someone's house to apologize with a big box of chocolates.

Ruh Roh! Lucy Griffiths who played Liv

Spoiler:

the girl who sees dead people

in the pilot has left the show due to "creative differences". The lead female character (who has yet to be cast) will now be Hellblazer character, Zed.

So basically the pilot we saw...forget what we saw.

Woah! Fair enough... does this mean that they're not going to be airing that pilot at all?

Not entirely sure. Since they're replacing her with another character (one that's actually FROM the comics) something tells me a whole new pilot will be shot.

Pleased that John is apparently going to be smoking in the show.
Less than pleased that he's going to be straight, and not bi as in the canon.

[Raph's Girl]

Ok.. some confirmation on things:

1: They are not re-shooting the pilot.
2: Telenovela actress Angelica Celaya has been cast as Mary "Zed" Martin. Dunno when her first episode will be.
3: They aren't addressing his sexuality because it's not deemed important enough.
4: Jim Corrigan will first appear in episode 5.

Yeah, I read that yesterday - color me unimpressed.

The only way I'm going to let the "not important enough" bit slide is if they don't go into his relationships/dalliances (with men OR women) at all in the show.

Nonetheless, I have faith that myriad fanfics will be written to balance this out.

Well it's official. Constantine is dead in the water.

Not surprised. It sounds like the execs were never comfortable with the character or his stories in the first place.

[CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy]

Just read a rumor that Constantine could appear in Legends of Tomorrow Season 2.

It was my understanding that LoT was going to be a one-shot deal, like a mini-series special? Not something that would necessarily play out over multiple seasons?

As long as we roll Captain Cold, Heatwave, and Firestorm back into the main Flash show after the fact, I'm fine with whatever.

I believe I read somewhere online a while back that if LoT were to get another season, it would feature a different and revolving cast instead of the previous one. Kinda like how Justice League Unlimited focused on different heroes in various episodes instead of the main 7 leaguers. So some of the ones who would appear in the upcoming season could possibly return in the next season.

In any case, if this were to be true, it would be great news.
