Oh Hai TV Green Arrow’s Black Canary
 |
?Katie Cassidy has just been cast as Dinah Lance/Black Canary in The CW’s increasingly-looking-like-it’s-actually-going-to-happen Green Arrow TV series. She’s been in the Melrose Place reboot TV series, some Gossip Girl episodes and was also in Supernatural for a while as Ruby, which means she’s got quite the The CW pedigree. All I know about her is that’s she’s blonde, and Black Canary is blonde, so… that works out well, I guess. (Via Blastr)

He brought the site to prominence with “nerd news, humor and self-loathing” as its motto, raising it from total internet obscurity to a readership in the millions, with help from his savage “FAQ” movie reviews and Fan Fiction Fridays. Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others. He is currently the managing editor of io9.com. Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
