Well, we all fought the good fight, but it looks like Constantine in now officially in trouble as The CW, the network that runs Arrow, Flash and soon Legends of Tomorrow has officially turned down the chance tto pick up Constantine, putting him their DC uninverse.
And, to be honest, we’re really sad about it. Show runner Daniel Cerone Tweeted earlier, admitting defeat (below). Does this mean Constantine is gone altogether? Well, it’s hard to say, presumably we could see Matt Ryan pop up in Arrow somewhere down the line as Constantine or maybe someone else could pick it up, but we get the feeling this was its best shot.
At least for now.
Tough morning. Feeling your disappointment. Touched by the continued enthusiasm. #Constantine #SaveConstantine #Hellblazers

The CW has compounded the defeat by announcing its 2015/2016 schedule which, while fun (Legends of Tomorrow has us buzzing here) could have been just a little sweeter…

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
