It only looks like Christmas outside on the east coast, but The CW has delivered early presents for fans of its most popular series, including 'Arrow,' 'Supernatural,' 'The Vampire Diaries,' its spinoff 'The Originals' and period soap 'Reign.' All five series have been renewed for additional seasons to carry into 2015!

Well, this isn't much of a surprise. Following the news that Fox's Batman-prequel TV series 'Gotham' had cast Alfred, The Penguin, and others atop Ben McKenzie in the leading role of Detective James Gordon, 'Sons of Anarchy' and 'Vikings' vet Donal Logue has officially been confirmed for the DC role of gruff detective Harvey Bullock.

Just when you thought 'The Flash''s TV future was all-but assured as an 'Arrow' spinoff, The CW has literally doubled down on its titular hero. The latest to join the scarlet speedster's 2014 TV updates is none other than TV's previous live-action 'Flash,' 1990 CBS star John Wesley Shipp! Of course, there couldn't be two Flashes at once...could there?

This past weekend, we were blindsided to learn that FOX's forthcoming Batman prequel TV series, 'Gotham,' cast 'Southland' and 'The O.C.' star Ben McKenzie in the central role of Detective Jim Gordon, but now the new DC drama unveiled an even plumper portion of casting. Meet your new Oswald "The Penguin" Cobblepot, as well as young Bruce Wayne's loyal Alfred, Captain Essen, and Gordon's

Earlier today we caught a bit of what-if information on The CW's 'Flash,' TV pilot, gauging the fate of Grant Gustin's Barry Allen should the network not move forward with the 'Arrow' spinoff, but in the meantime, 'The Flash' keeps right on casting. 'Ed' star Tom Cavanagh is the latest to sign onto the cast, but does his role have any major DC ties?

The ever-ravenous success of comic-adapted series like 'The Walking Dead' and 'Arrow' predictably sent TV networks in a scramble to adapt the most popular original projects, but count us genuinely excited for this one. Syfy has partnered with DC Comics to bring us a TV adaptation of modern-day civil war comic 'DMZ,' with some major producing power attached!

We're still no closer to knowing if 'Arrow''s forthcoming spinoff pilot for 'The Flash' will land its own CW series this fall, though its cast at least continues to fill out nicely. Up next for the DC drama is Candice Batton as the Flash's comic love interest, Iris West, along with Broadway star Carlos Valdes ('Once') as Cisco Ramon, otherwise known as "Vibe"!

Earlier this week the CW's 'Arrow' afforded us a first look at the arrival of DC villainess Nyssa al Ghul ('Spartacus' star Katrina Law), daughter to Batman villain Ra's, though that was only a portion of the DC comic-fest of 'Arrow's next installment "Heir to the Demon." Check out the full set of photos from the episode to see Oliver Queen and the Canary take on the League of Assassins

Tonight's all-new 'Arrow' installment "Tremors" will pay tribute to comic history, as Oliver Queen takes to training Roy Harper (Colton Haynes) as a possible partner, but some of the biggest comic nods from the CW drama have yet to arrive. Before we feel the "Tremors," check out a first look at 'Spartacus' star Katrina Law as DC villainess Nyssa al Ghul, along with a closer loo

The CW's 'Arrow' may not be destined for the big screen 'Justice League' any time soon, but that hasn't stopped the acclaimed Green Arrow drama from making plenty of "Tremors" all its own. The next episode will finally team Roy Harper with his green-hooded vigilante mentor, while Michael Jai White's Bronze Tiger bares his claws once more, and we've got the first photos!

A few hours ago brought the latest casting news on 'Arrow''s 'Flash' spinoff, but tomorrow's all-new 'Arrow' installment "Blind Spot" will have another character seeing red. Mirakuru super-strength is alive and well in the first clip from tomorrow's latest episode, and to borrow from another super-franchise, Roy Harper SMASH!

The recent 'Arrow' and DC comics discussions from the TCA press tour didn't give us much insight into progress on the forthcoming 'Flash' spinoff pilot, but at least we know the casting has moved full speed ahead. 'Law & Order' alum, 'Rent' originator and 'Smash' guest star Jesse L. Martin has zoomed into the 'Flash' cast in a leading role, but which comic character might he portray?
