Superman-BatmanThis week, Blake decides it’s high time the Showcase got a new coat of paint, a slightly amended format, and a much snazzier archive page.

Witchblade Vs. the Darkness, the Simpsons meeting the Griffins and the Planet Express crew, Riverdale swaming with zombies, JMS taking on the Twilight Zone, new series for Harley Quinn, the return of Nightcrawler, Avengers 2 gets a title and Man of Steel 2 gets a guest-star!
