3 on The Flash 7x10 Review - The Drama ForceImagine if, every time you started running, you fell flat on your face. The Flash has no trouble running, but his show probably has a broken nose, a split lip, and a bit of road rash by this point. Is this when The Flash starts to run like its titular character? Let's look back. Spoilers follow…
Even when Ruby Rose was the face behind the cowl, the CW's Batwoman was no stranger to trying to face social issues. With Javicia Leslie now in the role, this element of the series has only ramped up. Protests over police brutality came to a head in the United States last summer, and the heat hasn't…
Over on The Flash, this season marks the last appearances of actors Tom Cavanaugh and Carlos Valdes on the show. Two of the original cast members leaving is a huge deal that feels like a sort of death knell for the show. Legends of Tomorrow meanwhile, is sort of a revolving door, and only two original…
For all of Supergirl's struggles throughout Seasons 5 and 6, one thing remains true about the show: the cast is really, really good. Melissa Benoist (Kara Danvers/Supergirl), Jesse Rath (Brainy), Katie McGrath (Lena Luthor), Nicole Maines (Nia Nal), and David Harewood (J'onn J'onzz/Martian Manhunter) have all elevated what can otherwise be hammy writing, making scenes…
Tom Cavanaugh has been a crucial part of Team Flash since Season 1, Episode 1, playing a variety of characters with the last name of Wells. He's always brought gravitas to the story, and his turn as Nash Wells was particularly emotional. So he deserves a good send-off, right? Uh oh. Spoilers follow for The Flash Season…
Who likes riddles? Apparently every deranged person in Gotham. The Riddler is busy this week, but don't worry, because another question-asking weirdo who likes to play games (no, not Jigsaw, or Ghostface) is ready to hassle Batwoman and a few of her closest friends. Spoilers follow for Batwoman Season 2, Episode 13, "I'll Give You a Clue."…
In all my favorite comedies, the jokes aren't just in the dialogue. They're in the background, in props, even in episode titles. Legends of Tomorrow Season 5 began (after the Crisis episode) with the episode "Meet the Legends." Spoilers follow for Legends of Tomorrow Season 6, Episode 2, "Meat: The Legends." "Meat: The Legends" Most of the CW…
One of the things WandaVision excelled at was making itself feel like shows from the '50s, '90s, and other decades. One show style they didn't try to replicate was "CW show circa 2010." It's a good thing Supergirl is here to handle it. Spoilers follow for Supergirl Season 6, Episode 6, "Prom Again!" Prom Again! Part 2, appropriately, picks up…
There are all kinds places superheroes are meant to be. Secret labs, outer space, other dimensions, New York City, Gotham. But over and over, writers seem to want to put them in the most boring possible places. This week, yet another superhero takes the stand in a court of law. Spoilers follow for The Flash Season 7,…
I've been struggling with enjoying a lot of the CW's DC shows in recent seasons. The Flash and Supergirl have both meandered through their last couple seasons, and Batwoman's reset didn't help it any. But in all that time, my love for DC's Legends of Tomorrow, the stupidest and best show on television, hasn't wavered even once. Spoilers follow for DC's…
The Arrowverse has seen villains trying to unmake the universe, blow up the world with nukes, turn humans and aliens against each other, and more. But the villains on Batwoman might be the most twisted of all. Season 1 brought us August Cartwright, who kept a girl hostage for 10 years so that she could…
The list of Arrowverse shows that haven't done time travel is shorter--much shorter--than the list of shows that have. This week, it's Supergirl's turn. As our heroes try to track down Kara Zor-El, trapped as she is in the Phantom Zone, they realize that to get ahold of her Kryptonian DNA, they have to go…
Harley Quinn has had a singular arc in DC comics. She started out as an abused sidekick to one of the very worst of DC's villains, but has since become an icon for self-empowerment as she establishes herself as an independent character both in her own fiction and by virtue of the variety of Harley-centric…
Two-Face is one of Batman's most tragic villains. While Batman does or doesn't play a role in the creation of some of his villains depending on who's telling the story, Batman and Two-Face are virtually always linked, from kid-friendly fare like Batman: The Animated Series to Christopher Nolan's much more grounded The Dark Knight. The essence…
For someone who can fly faster than a speeding bullet, Supergirl sure seems directionless lately. This is the show's final season and so far the story has been Supergirl trapped in a space cave while her friends fight space nosferatu. No one's going anywhere. What is this season about? Well, this episode doesn't really provide any…
It's important to remember while watching CW superhero shows that technology is magic. It doesn't obey any reasonable standards of functionality, and it always happens on a tablet that the person can type on with one hand. Even so, it's hard not to get frustrated sometimes at how these shows will use technobabble to deliver…
When watching a show or a movie, it can be tough to balance what you know with what the characters know. Watching Avengers: Infinity War, it was hard not to think about how many of those characters had announced sequels or had just come off of billion-dollar movies. It's the same with Supergirl. To Alex and…
Caitlin Snow's journey to Killer Frost and back has been an interesting one, from Earth-2 doppelganger to split personality to main personality to two different people. But now, the crimes of old are coming back to haunt Frost in an episode dedicated primarily to her. Spoilers follow for The Flash Season 7, Episode 7, "Growing Pains." "Growing Pains"…
We're well and deep into Batwoman season 2, featuring Ryan Wilder as Batwoman. After a long journey, she's finally starting to look like her own character, not a subset of a previous one. Meanwhile, the Crows parking garage is the least secure place in Gotham. Spoilers follow for Batwoman Season 2, Episode 10, "Time Off for Good Behavior."…
Unlike Batwoman and The Flash, which spent a solid seven episodes finishing off the previous season, Supergirl seems to have managed it with just one episode. The premiere rushed through the right parts--boring Leviathan stuff--to focus on Jon Cryer's Lex Luthor, one of the show's very best assets. Now, we seem to be properly into the show's final…
