3 on Catch up to Crisis on Infinite Earths with our spoilerific recapThe CW's Crisis on Infinite Earths cross-over concludes with a two-hour, two-part finale that brings together all our heroes. You still have time to catch up, with all the episodes airing for free on the CW app and website. In case you don't, though, we wanted to give you a quick recap of what went…
As I dig around through forums and social media to see what people are saying about Crisis on Infinite Earths, I see all these posts about how it sucks, it's terrible, it's trash. But the truth is that Crisis is its own small miracle of writing, scheduling, licensing, acting, and special effects. This isn't a…
Black Lightning the character is part of the Crisis on Infinite Earths crossover, but the Black Lightning show itself isn't. Despite that, the show found its own way to partake in the festivities. As the barrier between multiverse worlds blurs and wanes, Jennifer Pierce finds herself looking at doppelgangers from other worlds, where they were forced to…
The third hour of the CW's Crisis on Infinite Earths brought us tough decisions, surprising cameos, and another heartbreaking death. And now we have over a month to wait for the end when Crisis returns on January 14. For now, let's go over what happened last night. Spoilers follow for The Flash, "Crisis on Infinite Earths," Hour…
The first hours of the CW's Crisis on Infinite Earths started with some big cameos and then dove into huge action sequences with some great shots and the devastating aftermath. Monday night, we watched the heroes try to cope with that aftermath and to try to move forward having lost a core team member. Spoilers follow…
To say simply that characters die in Crisis on Infinite Earths isn't a spoiler any more than to say that the same happens in Shakespeare plays. Crisis is all about death. But the question is who died. We'll give a quick rundown in the rough order it happened in on the show. Spoilers follow for Crisis on Infinite Earths…
The original Crisis on Infinite Earths event in the DC comic books wasn't something DC planned out years in advance. Rather, it was a solution to a problem created by years of complex storylines and multiple generations of characters colliding. The Crisis on Infinite Earths TV crossover that began Sunday night is no different. When…
The Arrowverse now totals 30 seasons of television, if you include the on-going shows and the Legends of Tomorrow season starting in early 2020. It can be tough to know where to start if you haven't been paying attention. It might be too late to catch up before Crisis on Infinite Earths begins, but the shows…
As Arrow comes to a close, it must end where it begins. The team wakes up not in Star City, not in Russia, but back on the island of Lian Yu, newly lush and green after an energy spike caused rapid growth (and because they didn't have the effects budget to make it look like they…
I'm having so much fun watching Black Lightning this year. The occupation-and-resistance storyline has stayed strong thus far, and given me more than enough to chew on as a viewer. It's easily tied with Arrow for my favorite Arrowverse show right now, which is not a sentence I ever thought I'd say. Spoilers follow for Black Lightning, Season 3,…
Last week we left off with our good and pure Barry Allen under the influence of Bloodwork, with oily-black eyes and a terrifying grin. This two-part story is the final run-up to the Crisis on Infinite Earths crossover for Team Flash. It's a test of Barry's commitment to saving the world despite knowing he'll die.…
I have not been enjoying Supergirl this season. Compared to last year, this season is messy and complicated. With this week's episode, what initially felt like a reprieve from that ended up being a missed opportunity. Spoilers follow for Supergirl, Season 5, Episode 8, "The Wrath of Rama Khan." "The Wrath of Rama Khan" When last we left…
Two opposing ideas have powered Batwoman since its pilot and right up until now: Kate believes she can save her sister, Alice; Alice doesn't want to be saved and instead wants to prove that with a "mad tea party" to make her statement to Gotham and the world. This week, Alice intends to prove her point…
Arrow has been through more ups and downs than any other show in the Arrowverse, with some of the best and worst episodes in the entire library belonging to good old Ollie. This last season, though, has been consistently excellent, cashing in on years of character equity in all the right ways. This episode is…
While Arrow is solely focused on the upcoming Crisis, The Flash is still an ongoing show. The dual storylines of the disgusting villain Bloodwork and Team Flash's preparation for the Crisis have had to compete for time thus far, but the final pair of episodes brings the two together as Ramsey Rosso forces Barry to ask…
The idea of continuing Watchmen, one of the greatest literary works in comics books and literature alike, is a fraught idea. Whether it's the idea of pulling the Watchmen into DC comics, Zack Snyder making a movie of the story, or making the undisputably bad people of the comic into action figures and icons, writer Alan…
To say that Titans struggled in season 2 would be an understatement. With three flashback episodes, it stopped and started and felt confused. But the final arc has felt like a return to form. The finale is the show we hoped Titans could be, and it's awesome to see it off and running at full speed. Spoilers follow…
A few of the Arrowverse shows are struggling this year, thanks in part to the upcoming Crisis on Infinite Earths and in part to some excellent previous seasons. Black Lightning, meanwhile, has been firing on all cylinders. So far, Black Lightning has shown us what an American occupation might look like, given us a look inside the…
There was a time when we were lucky to just have one comic-book show on television at a time. These days, though, we have an embarrassment of riches, and it's worth taking a moment to call all of it out. No matter what version of comic-book TV you like, there's something for you. Serious Costumes…
What's a father to do when his daughter from 21 years into the future suddenly appears in the present? Get into fights with the Russian mob, of course. This sounds more like a Flash plotline. Actually it kinda is. But with Arrow, it somehow feels more organic. The adult children cast has some natural chemistry with the…
