The shuttle is destroyed, leaving Stone and Kowalsky completely alone‹tethered to nothing but each other and spiraling out into the blackness. The deafening silence tells them they have lost any link to EarthŠand any chance for rescue. As fear turns to panic, every gulp of air eats away at what little oxygen is left. But the only way home may be to go further out into the terrifying expanse of space."

PREVIEW: New Clips & Stills From The CW's 'Arrow'

Hot on the heels of Arrow's Comic-Con panel and screening of the pilot episode (which was met with applause from the audience of fans in Ballroom 20), The CW has released new stills of star Stephen Arnell as Arrow/Oliver Queen and two new clips. The show is based on DC Comics superhero Green Arrow, and promises to follow a darker and more action oriented path than the network's previous comic book based show, Smallville.

Per The CW:

"After a violent shipwreck, billionaire playboy Oliver Queen was missing and presumed dead for five years before being discovered alive on a remote island in the Pacific. When he returns home to Starling City, his devoted mother Moira, much-beloved sister Thea, and best friend Tommy welcome him home, but they sense Oliver has been changed by his ordeal on the island. While Oliver hides the truth about the man he's become, he desperately wants to make amends for the actions he took as the boy he was. Most particularly, he seeks reconciliation with his former girlfriend, Laurel Lance." 

"As Oliver reconnects with those closest to him, he secretly creates the persona of Arrow - a vigilante – to right the wrongs of his family, fight the ills of society, and restore Starling City to its former glory. By day, Oliver plays the role of a wealthy, carefree and careless philanderer he used to be - flanked by his devoted chauffeur/bodyguard, John Diggle - while carefully concealing the secret identity he turns to under cover of darkness. However, Laurel's father, Detective Quentin Lance, is determined to arrest the vigilante operating in his city. Meanwhile, Oliver's own mother, Moira, knows much more about the deadly shipwreck than she has let on – and is more ruthless than he could ever imagine."

The series stars Stephen Amell as Oliver Queen, Colin Donnell as Tommy, Katie Cassidy as Laurel Lance, David Ramsey as John Diggle, Willa Holland as Thea Queen, with Susanna Thompson as Moira Queen and Paul Blackthorne as Detective Quentin Lance.

Christopher Nolan Calls 'Dark Knight Rises' Villain Bane A 'Monster'

Check out these preview clips from tonight's Nightline where The Dark Knight Rises mastermind and director Christopher Nolan provides some insight as to why he chose Bane as Batman's nemesis for the final chapter in his trilogy.

“We wanted an antagonist who could stand toe to toe with Batman and trade blows with him in a way that would be threatening and you would actually, genuinely, have fear for Batman’s physical safety,” Nolan told Nightline's Chris Connelly.

“What Bane provides is this incredibly frightening physicality. He’s a militaristic presence, he’s a monster,” he promised regarding the imposing masked villain played by Tom Hardy.

The press junket for the film was held over the weekend in Los Angeles, so there will be a barrage of interviews with the cast and crew appearing online and in print from here until the film's highly anticipated release on July 20th.

Chris Connelly's Nightline interviews with Nolan in addition to star Christian Bale air tonight on ABC at 11:35pm.
