Gotham star David Mazouz minced few words to say “Batman is coming” in Season 4 (he’s exaggerated before), but the first Season 4 artwork definitely inches in that direction. The Knight is darkest before the Dawn, as a new Comic-Con poster reveals Season 4’s subtitle.

The late Adam West will be heard in a number of projects to come, but perhaps no gig was so permanently affected as the former Batman star’s Family Guy role as Quahog’s mayor. Now, FOX pays tribute to our beloved “Bright Knight” with an extended reel of West’s wacky politician.

Even as we’ve given up the ghost of Gotham’s Bat-timeline ever making sense, Season 3 certainly rocketed along with its introduction of Ra’s al Ghul, and Bruce taking to the streets. Now, star David Mazouz definitively claims “Batman is coming,” noting that writers have accelerated their plans.

American Idol moving to ABC is bound to leave FOX a little green, and they might even spend a little in retaliation. FOX is apparently working on a brand-new singing competition to rival Idol and The Voice with a unique format.

Just as NBC’s Powerless carried on the late Adam West’s inimitable presence, so too will Family Guy keep our beloved Bright Knight alive. Producers confirm West recorded at least five more episodes for the coming season, after which Quahog’s mayor may never be replaced.

Standing beside X-Files fan disappointment that Season 11 would lack key franchise writers was the realization that again, only men were invited to pen Mulder and Scully’s return. Star Gillian Anderson certainly noticed as well; voicing her disappointment and adding a low quotient of female directors.

A gentle understanding behind The X-Files’ latest return held that Season 11 would correct the missteps of its predecessor; namely, more balanced writing. We’ll at least have more episodes to that effect, but the full writers list for the next X-Files revival is still missing some key names.

The CW may have TV superheroes on lock, but FOX may give them a run for their money later this year. The full fall 2017 schedule has been announced, featuring X-Men drama The Gifted, Gotham Season 4, Lucifer and all your new and returning favorites.

The X-Men franchise timeline isn’t getting any simpler, and certainly not by the addition of FOX mutant drama The Gifted. Allow series star Stephen Moyer to clarify, as the Bryan Singer-directed drama fits somewhere within the X-Men universe, though “we’re not allied.”

Cancellation season has come and gone, but FOX has one last twist to inject into the 24 franchise. Sequel series 24: Legacy has officially run out the clock after one season, though the franchise will adopt a new approach going forward.
