Marilyn Manson Wants to be on Gotham
Rock star Marilyn Manson appears to be campaigning for a role on FOX’s Gotham.
Manson took to Twitter to ask fans if they would love the show more if he played a part in it.
Wouldn't you love GOTHAM even more, if I was a part of the show?
— Marilyn Manson (@marilynmanson) October 1, 2015
Given Gotham's focus on villains in Season 2, Manson would be a good fit for the show. He's no stranger to the small screen, and has appeared on a number of other TV shows, including Sons of Anarchy, Eastbound & Down, Californication and Once Upon a Time.

NASA Told Ridley Scott About Water on Mars Early
NASA's announcement on September 28th that there is water on Mars didn't blow director Ridley Scott's mind like it did the rest of the world. While promoting his new film The Martian, Scott shared that the revelation was old news to him.
"I knew that months ago," he told Yahoo Movies when the site brought up NASA's groundbreaking discovery.
The Martian has been praised by many, including IGN, for its basis in science. It should come as no surprise that Scott, screenwriter Drew Goddard and the rest of the creative team spent time with NASA to ground the movie in facts. Apparently during that period of research with NASA the subject of water on Mars came up.

The big news is that the new volume of Black Widow will reunite the full creative team from the most recent Daredevil comic - writer Mark Waid, artist Chris Samnee, colorist Matthew Wilson and letterer Joe Caramagna.

Marvel, ABC Developing Damage Control TV series
ABC is developing a comedy series based on Damage Control, the clean-up crew of the Marvel universe.
Variety reports that as opposed to some of Marvel's more action-drama series, Damage Control would be a half-hour, single-camera sitcom following the poor saps who have to clean up the messes left when superheroes clash in their city.
The series description details some of the crew's duties as returning a lost ray gun, rescheduling a wedding after its venue was vaporized, or tracking down a prized parrot that's been turned to stone. The series currently has a pilot commitment.
This would put the department into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which uses its movies and TV series as part of one large shared universe. It's a good thing, too, because with Captain America: Civil War just around the corner there's bound to be some more destruction coming to New York.
