The New York Post offered up this article today: Robot secretaries are a real thing now.
They’re only 30 years late with this one – the Fantastic Four has had a robot receptionist since 1982:

Better late than never, I guess…

Today is also the day that I learned a bit of news that I found interesting. Over the past week or so, people have been flocking to see Fox’s Deadpool. (Yes, some people have even taken their kids to see it, but that’s story/issue for another time.) Tim Miller, the film’s director, has also gathered accolades for not only bringing Marvel’s “Merc with a Mouth” to the big screen, but also for not pulling the punches (um… sorry) and bringing an R-rated superhero movie to the screen. What I did not know, until earlier today, was that Miller directed a short film featuring the Justice League that attracted the attention of the-powers-that-be at Fox and put him on their radar as a candidate to helm Deadpool.
What was the short film?
This:
That’s right. Miller, during his tenure at Blur Studios, directed the promo trailer/intro cinematic for DC Universe Online, a long-time favorite game of mine.
For more information on how the Justice League helped Miller get the Deadpool job, check out this article on Comics Alliance.
With this, they gave viewers (and DC Comics fans) a plethora of heroes and villains on the small screen.
Then, they expanded the “Arrowverse” to include The Flash. With this we got even more heroes and villains. (Let’s be honest: I never expected to see Firestorm on TV in anything than an animated form.)
This year, DC’s trenchcoat-wearing occult detective – and con man – John Constantine was officially brought into the Arrowverse.

As if all of that wasn’t enough, today it was announced that there will be a Flash and Supergirl crossover!
Yep, that’s right: Supergirl – and I’d take it, by association, Superman (as he’s appeared a couple of times on the show) – is officially part of the Arrowverse.
Congratulations and well done CW and CBS for creating a cohesive, cross-network television universe!
