The Flash’s Candice Patton Talks Crossovers

Arrow recently celebrated reaching its 100th episode with a big event in Vancouver, attended by cast members not only from Arrow but from the other DC TV shows that have since spun off from that series – starting with The Flash.

IGN: Is it crazy to be part of this ever-growing universe?

Candice Patton: Absolutely. It's a testament to what DC TV has been able to do on The CW. It gives us hope as Flash cast members that in a couple years maybe we'll be here doing the same thing.

Heath Ledger’s Apartment Was a Shrine to the Joker

The late Heath Ledger, who starred as the Joker in Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight, turned his New York apartment into a shrine for the Clown Prince of Crime, according to a new report.

According to The Post, when investigating the actor's apartment after his fatal drug overdose eight years ago, police found his place covered with comic books and research material on the Joker, as well as clown statues and recordings of him practicing for the role.
