Thanks to the advent of updated technology and special effects, both movies and TV are able to fully capture and bring to life the wonder and excitement of the comics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The CW<\/strong>, famous for shows such as <em>The Flash<\/em>, <em>Supergirl<\/em> and <em>Legends of Tomorrow,<\/em> has added another fantastic program to its lineup. <strong><em>Swamp Thing<\/em><\/strong> is the second TV adaptation of the famous character (created by Len Wein and Bernie Wrightson). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The show tragically only saw one season made, and was canceled after the second episode aired for reasons that remain unknown. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since then, CW has folded the adventures of the big green avenger into its existing Multiverse, first with a cameo appearance at the end of the 2019\/2020 crossover <em>Crisis on Infinite Earths<\/em>. Said cameo established Swamp Thing dwelling on Earth-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now there is some new promotional art for the upcoming re-release of the spooky program, highlighting the romantic and human elements of the character which have often played a large role in the comics over the years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/media.comicbook.com\/2020\/09\/swamp-thing-key-art-cw-broadcast-1237959.jpeg?auto=webp&amp;width=696&amp;height=1044&amp;crop=696:1044,smart\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Swamp Thing<\/em> will air on The CW with a 90 minute premier on October 8th. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/comicbook.com\/tv-shows\/news\/swamp-thing-the-cw-releases-key-art-for-the-shows-broadcast-prem\/\"><strong>Comicbook.com <\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"entry-summary\">\nThe CW releases new art promoting the re-release of &#8216;Swamp Thing&#8217;.\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/?p=30673\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &ldquo;CW Releases New Art for &#8216;Swamp Thing&#8217;&rdquo;<\/span>&hellip;<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":88,"featured_media":30674,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[813,6,19],"tags":[4181,196,1138,4180,1509,1293],"class_list":["post-30673","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-entertainment","category-film-tv","category-tv","tag-bernie-wrightson","tag-dc-comics","tag-dc-universe","tag-len-wein","tag-swamp-thing","tag-the-cw","entry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>CW Releases New Art for &#039;Swamp Thing&#039; - The Cultured Nerd<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/?p=30673\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"CW Releases New Art for &#039;Swamp Thing&#039; - The Cultured Nerd\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The CW releases new art promoting the re-release of &#039;Swamp Thing&#039;.
