0 on The Penguin 1x06 Review - Balancing ActOswald and Sofia have found their directions in the Gotham underworld, and are ready to remove the obstacles that lie before them. Spoilers follow for The Penguin Season 1, Episode 6, "The Gold Summit." "The Gold Summit" This is a dense episode, giving us important moments with virtually every character that tells us something important about…

The Soap Opera effect, when we're talking about TVs, is about using post-processing technology to make video seem ultra-smooth. In comic books, though, something else entirely. Comic books are ongoing serial products that want to evolve and move forward, but they star beloved, popular, and most importantly lucrative characters that their publishers can't afford to…

The bodycount is really starting to pile up on The Penguin. Sure, Sofia may not have killed the people she was imprisoned for, but she's more than made up for it by this point, and Oz is no slouch himself. Spoilers follow for The Penguin Season 1, Episode 5, "Homecoming." "Homecoming" This is a fascinating turn…

I don't consider myself a LEGO collector, but I'll admit a certain weakness to very particular LEGO sets. I ultimately couldn't resist the "Batman with Batmobile vs. Harley Quinn and Mr. Freeze" set, despite the terrible and, honestly, confusing name. Let's talk about the name, first. I recently built the LEGO Batman: The Animated Series…

Superhero stories have to get dark to test their protagonists. Whether our heroes are invincible, smart, or just rich, we need to thrust them into darkness to see how they might behave in the most unimaginable of circumstances. This season was always going to be an intense one, and this episode is no exception--but it…

Cristin Milioti has been the surprise standout of this show, and this episode puts the spotlight on her. We already knew Colin Ferrell was going to bring a great performance as the Penguin, but Milioti is turning Sofia Falcone into a legendary Gotham character. Spoilers follow for The Penguin Season 1, Episode 4, "Cent'anni." "Cent'anni" A…

When last we saw him, Superman was fighting Doomsday, a creature created by Lex Luthor by torturing and twisting Bizarro Superman. Now, we get a whole season to explore what that means. Spoilers follow for Superman & Lois Season 4, Episode 01 and 02, "The End & The Beginning" and "A World Without." Season 4 Premiere With the…

The Penguin might be a den of thieves, but Cristin Milioti is the one stealing the show. Every episode seems to reconfirm what we already knew: she's the smartest and most dangerous person in just about every room she walks into. She's truly becoming a force to be reckoned with. But this is Vic's episode.…

Penguins have feathers, but the same way that stereotypical movie mobsters slick their hair back, penguins have oily feathers that give their body a slick appearance and streamlines them for swimming. Oz Cobb doesn't have feathers, but he's every bit as slippery as his namesake, as proven by the second episode of The Penguin. Spoilers…

Historically, I've avoided comic book shows where the showrunners are afraid to put costumes on characters. Part of the fun of comic book stories are the characters and their incredible designs. The Penguin, despite being deeply grounded and skirting around even mentioning Batman, absolutely must not be missed. While you'll find reviews of the series…

In the world of Batman Beyond, there is a Justice League, still led by Superman. Both the team's presence and makeup beg a lot of questions, but it's still one of the best stories in the entire series. Batman Beyond: The Call Parts 1 & 2 While chasing down Inque yet again, Batman finds out…

I'm somewhat of a neophyte when it comes to LEGO builds; I only go for the stuff I really like, and it's only been the last few years that I've been doing it. Voltron, the Horizon Forbidden West Tallneck, the Ghostbusters ECTO-1, Optimus Prime, and small versions of the 1989 Batmobile and Lamborghini Countach--that's the…

DC's animation arm has long been one of the strongest parts of the comic publisher's empire. As far back as Batman: The Animated Series up through recent projects like Crisis on Infinite Earths, DC has been able to consistently bring its best characters to life in animation for a long time, now. In recent years, DC…

It's time for the Suicide Squad to fully embrace the brave new world they're now living in. Spoilers for Suicide Squad Isekai Episode 10 follow. Suicide Squad Isekai Episode 10 With the Undead King in the skies over the kingdom, the Suicide Squad seems to be on their back foot. But Cecil and Fione are both…

When the world has gone insane, remaining sane is the truly crazy option, right? That's the philosophy that inform's Harley Quinn's world view, and it's worked out pretty well for her so far (aside from all the murdering and imprisonment). Spoilers for Suicide Squad Isekai Episode 9 follow. Suicide Squad Isekai Episode 9 When we were…
-
I'm starting to sense a rhythm here. Whenever the Squad experiences victory, defeat is hot on its heels to humble them. The team just had a resounding success in defeating the Thinker, a mutual enemy of both the Squad and the kingdom they're supposed to be allying with, but it's pretty clear at this point…
-
This is the episode we've been really waiting for. With the team on their back foot, they put their heads together to outthink The Thinker, and come up with a fun, wild episode that puts all of their best/worst qualities on display. Spoilers for Suicide Squad Isekai Episode 7 follow. Suicide Squad Isekai Episode 7 Thinker…

In comic book media, it's impossible to overstate the impact and importance of Batman: The Animated Series. Bruce Timm led a historic team on the series, including writer Paul Dini and voice actor Kevin Conroy, and created a truly iconic series. Over 30 years later, Timm is back with a new Batman animated series with a…

Spoilers follow for My Adventures with Superman Season 2, Episode 10. "My Adventures with Supergirl" At ten episodes, this season of My Adventures with Superman felt short by at least a full episode, if not more. It's not that the ending of this episode was unsatisfying--quite the opposite. But with the season in our rear-view, it's clear how…
-
Some Suicide Squad members just make sense--Harley Quinn and Deadshot are powerful but strictly mundane criminals with particularly effective skill sets. But last week's final shot showed us Enchantress, a devastatingly powerful magic user. Did Amanda Waller really think she could control someone like that for very long? For all of Waller's intelligence, her arrogance…
