0 on The Flash Season 6, Episode 6 Review - I love Mortal KombatThe Flash continues to prepare for the upcoming Crisis. Not only is the hero preparing, but the show, too. And that means some lower-key, character-focused episodes. This week, Barry spends some quality time with Ralph Dibny, the Elongated Man. While Cisco has stepped away from heroics, Ralph has embraced the idea of being a hero…
Harley's been second fiddle to the Joker since her very first appearance back in the Batman: The Animated Series episode "Joker's Favor" in 1992. In the nearly-three-decades since, little has changed. Now, DC Universe is giving Harley her due. Harley is stepping out into spotlight all on her own in DCU's Harley Quinn series. Here's our take…
I can't help but feel like Titans seasons are cut up all wrong. Last season, the show ended with a weird nightmare episode, and then the first episode this year felt like last season's finale. Season 2 started strong but had a rough dip in the middle. Now, just as the show is getting good, we're on…
You can only be pushed so many times before you start to push back. The ASA has been pushing the people of Freeland for the last five episodes of Black Lightning, and now they're ready to push back. Black Lightning is split into "books," and this week's episode marks the shift into the "Book of Resistance." It…
Melissa Benoist is really good at crying, y'all. I've seen it said that Benoist's performance as Kara Danvers/Supergirl is what truly props up Supergirl. When a season has been weaker, as this one has, that sticks out even more. This week, the roiling undercurrent of Kara and Lena's relationship comes to the surface, and so…
Since Batwoman began back in October, the show has managed to tie most everything that goes on back into the main story. Batwoman stepped away to defeat Magpie and Executioner, but things have been on track otherwise, and each week we learn something new about Kate and about Alice. This week is no different. We’re…
This season of Titans has been a weird one. It's been meandering and full of flashbacks. But if the final arc of the season is anything like this week's episode, we're in for a great ride that will leave me eagerly anticipating the just-announced third season. This week's episode has an interesting story and great…
Following the events of Black Lightning Season 2, the city of Freeland has been under occupation by the shady government organization known as the ASA. We've seen the city's metahuman population imprisoned and experimented on while the entire city is subjected to checkpoints and identity checks. But the temperature is rising in the city and things…
While I've been outspoken about my love for Supergirl's fourth season, the show has been struggling this year to find a focus. There's a big villain looming in the form of Leviathan, and Lena is finally making her turn toward the dark side. But the episodes feel messy and confused. This week's episode has more focus,…
I've enjoyed Batwoman since the beginning, but a lot of the credit for that goes to Rachel Skarsten's Alice. Alice is a well-written character and Skarsten brings energy to her that makes her impossible to ignore. She's not the only good character, but she's easily the best. And so when an episode tones down Alice…
Titans got rolling in season 2 pretty quickly. After a weird first episode, we had this interesting show about a team of people with special abilities trying to learn how to work together. Then we hit this weird cadence of flashback episodes, followed by the team separating. It's like the show exploded and we're picking…
There's no question that the Arrowverse is deeply flawed; sometimes characters don't work, and sometimes entire seasons stumble. But after 20-plus seasons of CW heroes, the Arrowverse has done the work to create an intricate universe of heroes that it can cross over and play with. And that means that when Oliver Queen meets the…
The Arrowverse is marching inexorably toward the Crisis on Infinite Earths. Universes will be destroyed and heroes will die. Barry Allen knows for a fact that he will have to sacrifice himself. He's been prepping the team since the beginning of season 6. This week, Barry is doing something we've never seen him do: take…
Supergirl Season 4 was excellent. It took a great concept, mixed in not one or two but three compelling villains, and then tied it together with a believable solution. So... what's up with Supergirl Season 5? I've been a big proponent of Supergirl since episode 1. I have a Supergirl statue sitting on my desk. I love the…
After last week's episode of Batwoman, I thought "oh, we're finally here. She's properly Batwoman, so it's time for some villain-of-the-week stuff. Batwoman continues to surprise, though. This week, we get another deep dive into how Alice became so twisted. Spoilers follow for Batwoman Season 1, Episode 5, "Mine is a Long and Sad Tale." "Mine is a Long and…
Like The Flash, this season of Arrow—the last one—is all about preparing for the coming Crisis on Infinite Earths. So far, Oliver has trusted the Monitor at his word that the things he asked Oliver to do were to ultimately save his universe. But after watching Earth-2 turn to dust and talking with Katana, Oliver finds himself…
When the structure of a group is as fragile as that of the Titans, breaking it apart takes a few lies - nothing more. Deathstroke knew that, and the supersoldier planned the perfect punishment for Dick Grayson, the person he holds responsible for his son Jericho's death. In the episode before last, Dick finally confessed…
If you knew you had six weeks left how would you spend it? Barry Allen knows his life is limited; not only has the Monitor appeared to him and laid out the truth, Barry looked ahead for himself and saw the one future among billions that ended with his universe in one piece. For Barry…
I often like to poke fun at how shows are "ripped from the headlines" as a way of staying relevant. Usually, when that happens, it's a story about an isolated incident or something that's hard to believe as being real. The third season of Black Lightning is very much ripped from the headlines, but the…
One of the more controversial choices made during Supergirl's development was to tweak the role of Superman stalwart Jimmy Olson. Jimmy was Superman's pale, goofy sidekick, always getting himself into trouble. But this guy on Supergirl - he's James Olson. James is an experienced photojournalist who knew Superman back in the day and was looking out…
