Supergirl: First Look at Purity’s Worldkiller Suit
Purity suits up in this preview of the second Worldkillers costume.
Though we already know Krys Marshall has been cast to play Purity (the second Worldkiller), we first saw Marshall two episodes ago and last episode was the focus of much of the action. However, we had yet to see her in costume.
Well, Krys Marshall changed that when she took to Twitter to share a photo of her all decked out in her suit.

The CW released a poster of Candice Patton’s Iris West in her new snazzy speedy superhero outfit. Check it out below.
Iris is set to unveil her stylish purple-and-white masked-hero getup in the upcoming episode appropriately titled “Run, Iris, Run.”

The Flash “The Elongated Knight Rises” Promo Videos
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFwi9XvzJZM
The CW has released a new promo video for The Flash’s eleventh episode “The Elongated Knight Rises.”
The scene sees Central City trying to make do without The Flash, now that Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) is in prison. The CCPD is seen dealing with some sort of hostage situation, in which the culprit gives a comically long list of demands. This gives Ralph Dibny (Hartley Sawyer) just enough time to help free the hostages, and then face off against the perp.
Once he does, Dibny quickly realizes that he needs a proper superhero name, and frantically asks Team Flash for help. Before they can, Dibny is left with the perp’s bomb vest, which ends up detonating in a pretty creative way.
And while the clip shows Ralph in his grey/purple suit, Sawyer has previously hinted that the costume will evolve. “It’s a little hard to get into, but it’s fun to wear actually.” Sawyer added. “It does not leave much to the imagination, but putting it on is fun and it lends itself to a lot of comedy, a lot of moments there with that.”
As well as a promo video, The CW has also released another video that takes you inside “The Elongated Knight Rises” with executive producer Todd Helbing.
Check it out here:

Photos of Brie Larson Preparing For Role As Captain Marvel
Brie Larson has been preparing for her upcoming role in Captain Marvel at the Air Force Base.
Photos have been shared on Instagram of Larson wearing her own custom uniform at the Nellis Air Force Base in Las Vegas, Nevada, where she received some training in EPT.
https://www.instagram.com/p/BeJDdE8BR9c/?taken-by=fortitude187
Larson also got a tour of the base’s impressive array of jets and managed to get a picture that could be right out of the film. It may not be from the film, but we imagine fans will see Larson get into a jet of her own when the solo film finally hits theaters.
She also took some time to get a few pictures with the soldiers stationed at Nellis, and even signed a copy of Captain Marvel #1.
Captain Marvel hits theaters on March 8, 2019.
