BONES' HALLOWEEN EPISODE
DC Comics characters will get air time in the Tuesday, Oct. 30 episode of Fox's Bones.
Emily Deschanel's Dr. Temperance "Bones" Brennan wears a Wonder Woman costume and Tamara Taylor's Dr. Camille Saroyan wears a Catwoman costume in the Halloween episode.
In the "Mummy in the Maze" episode, the team gets decked out in costume for the annual Jeffersonian Halloween Ball. The story involves a young Halloween reveler finding the mummified remains of a teenage girl in a Halloween pumpkin patch maze.
Both Deschanel and co-star David Boreanaz have histories with comic-book characters.
Deschanel played a snotty receptionist in Spider-Man 2, sharing a scene early in the movie with Tobey Maguire. Boreanaz, former star of The WB's Angel, starred in The Crow: Wicked Prayer and provides the voice of Hal Jordan/Green Lantern in the upcoming Justice League: New Frontier.
