1 on Black Lighting 4x02 Review - Tires Still SpinningHow do you balance taking a character through a believable arc versus the audience's tolerance for negative characters and depressing relationships? This is something the CW has struggled with before, and it seems so far like Black Lightning is struggling with it this year. Black Lightning has consistently been one of the more interesting shows among the…
Stargirl is finally doing a full crossover with he CWVerse, and it's all thanks to John Wesley Shipp as Jay Garrick. Entertainment Weekly has revealed that Shipp will be speeding into episode nine of Stargirl season 2 as the Golden Age Flash, Jay Garrick. Up until the Crisis on Infinite Earths crossover, Stargirl didn't exist…
Judging by these Superman & Lois episode photos, it looks as though The CW has gone all out on the latest televised adventures of the Man of Steel. SERIES PREMIERE -- In SUPERMAN & LOIS, after years of facing megalomaniacal supervillains, monsters wreaking havoc on Metropolis, and alien invaders intent on wiping out the human race, the…
I was talking with a friend the other night about something I like about the CW's Nancy Drew. No, I didn't expect to like it either. But I appreciate that none of the characters on the show are dumb. They're faced with supernatural situations and behave believably considering the unprecedented nature of their adventures--there's not exactly…
Despite being a show about a family of superheroes who live in a town that was literally occupied by a military force for months on end, Black Lightning has managed to stay pretty grounded compared to most of the other DC superhero shows that air on the CW network. It makes sense, then, that the…
The CW is wasting no time in pushing out its renewals for fall 2021. As of Wednesday, the network has renewed the majority of its DC-based shows. Altogether The CW renewed the following 12 series: Superman & Lois has yet to premiere, but it did receive an order for two additional episodes for season 1…
The Arrowverse or, as we're apparently calling it now, the CWverse, often struggles with bringing characters to life, like when Rip Roar was turned from a New God in the comics to a crappy Doctor Octopus knockoff on Supergirl. This week, though, they delivered on the promise of bringing a Batman villain into the fold. The…
Batwoman has an impossible task this year, and that applies to the show and character in equal measure. Batwoman the show has to prove to us that the departure of Ruby Rose as Kate Kane is a surmountable obstacle--that the hero can live on without the person who wears its cowl in the comics to…
Batwoman, like Supergirl, is by her very origin a derivative of the hero that preceded her. Batwoman and Kate Kane are both interesting in their own right, of course, and the comics have done a great job of establishing that. The first season of The CW's Batwoman worked hard to do just the same. The…
The CW has begun making decisions about which of its pilots will be picked up to series, and Green Arrow and The Canaries has not made the cut. Airing originally as a backdoor pilot during the final season of Arrow, The CW has been keeping the project in a holding pattern for over a year…
Will we ever see the proposed Green Arrow and the Canaries spinoff from Arrow? Potential series star Katherine McNamara certainly hopes so. Run as a backdoor pilot in season 8 of Arrow, Green Arrow and the Canaries was set to follow Mia Smoak (McNamara), Laurel Lance/Black Canary (Katie Cassidy), and Dinah Drake/Black Canary (Juliana Harkavy)…
It looks as though Stargirl season 2 won't stop introducing old Justice Society members as Jim Gaffigan has been cast as Thunderbolt. Stargirl season 1 was heavy on showing us members of the original Justice Society, and it appears that will continue in season 2. Entertainment Weekly is exclusively reporting that Jim Gaffigan will join…
The CW has announced when we will finally see some new episodes of its various series that have been delayed due to the pandemic. The new schedule is being called "mid-season" despite there really not being a fall season this year. Jan. 8 will be the kickoff, but the first CWverse show won't return until…
It seems more classic DC characters will be heading to Stargirl as the roles of Eclipso and The Shade have been cast. Eclipso is not a big surprise for Stargirl season 2 as we saw Cindy steal his diamond in season 1. Nick Tarabay (The Expanse) has been tapped to take on the regular role…
Earlier this year, before we knew what 2020 held for us, we watched the Multiverse die and then live again. Oliver Queen sacrificed his life for that of all existence. Now, nine months later, while we peek through our blinds to see if it's safe to go outside yet, the CW is hoping to re-brand…
Arrow has come to an end, and it seems that means it's time for a change to the name of the entire universe. While the name "Arrowverse" was created organically by fans as the number of series grew, the name no longer truly fits. Instead of waiting on fans to come up with another name,…
Stargirl season 1 came to a satisfying close, and fans are excited it was renewed for season 2. There is some trepidation, however, as the series is leaving DC Universe and will be shown exclusively on The CW. The last time a DC show moved to the CW from another network was when Supergirl did…
Stargirl may see Barbara finally learning what some members of her family have been up to. Stargirl episode 108, "Shiv Part Two," will see the rest of the JSA investigating a mystery at their school. THE JSA GOES UNDERCOVER -- After Courtney (Brec Bassinger) gets herself into some trouble following an unexpected confrontation, Pat (Luke…
Stargirl has its new Justice Society, and now it's time for them to learn what makes a team. Stargirl episode 107, "Shiv Part One," will see the ISA also preparing to take them down. LEA THOMPSON ("BACK TO THE FUTURE") DIRECTS THE EPISODE -- As Pat (Luke Wilson) teaches Courtney (Brec Bassinger), Yolanda (Yvette Monreal),…
Stargirl is adding characters faster than we can count as Sportsmaster and Tigress arrive. Stargirl episode 106, "The Justice Society," will see Stargirl and her newly formed Justice Society heading out on their first real mission. THE POWERS THAT BE -- Courtney (Brec Bassinger) makes a difficult decision after Pat (Luke Wilson) confronts her about…
