Casting is still moving forward on Superman & Lois, and now we know how Lana Lang added "Cushing" to her name. It was revealed earlier this week that Emmanuelle Chiriqui had joined Superman & Lois as Clark Kent's teenage crush, Lana Lang. That news also revealed that the character's name is now Lana Lang-Cushing and…
Emmanuelle Chriqui has joined the upcoming Superman & Lois on The CW as Lana Lang. Despite production being shutdown across all of the various Arrowverse series, casting is still moving forward on the upcoming Superman & Lois. The series - which received a straight-to-series order - has added Chriqui (The Passage, Entourage) as Clark's first…
We're still quite a ways off from the premiere of Stargirl, but new photos have been released by The CW along with a new promotional poster. With television program production shut down, networks are in an odd spot for promoting the programs they have coming up. Complicate things even further by having a new series…
If you've been looking for fresh episodes of the various CW shows, never fear, new episodes are on the way. Thanks to the coronavirus pandemic, The CW had to shut down production on all of its shows. With production stopped, the network has opted to slow airing of the completed episodes to ration them. The…
As the coronavirus pandemic continues to keep movies and television show production shut down, The CW is in the process of shifting some plans. The majority of the Arrowverse shows are now going to go into a rerun cycle to conserve the new episodes that they have finished. The plan, currently, is to have the…
Does it ever feel like your TV shows are crossing over? While Batwoman leaves Alice locked up in Arkham quoting Alice in Wonderland, Supergirl's episode this week is titled 'Alex in Wonderland.' And while this episode deals with being trapped in a simulation, the second episode of Westworld's third season is all about one of its main characters being trapped…
One of the best parts about Batwoman thus far has been the dynamic between Alice and Kate. The sisters, separated at age 13, grew into wildly different people thanks to their experiences, and watching how they alternately clash and come together has been a pleasure. This week, that comes to a head in the wake of…
In the beginning, there was Harrison Wells. And then, Flash willed the multiverse into being, and countless Wells appeared. Each year has had its own Wells. Harrison, Harry, Sherloque, Nash, and H.R. have all left impacts on Team Flash. Whether it's Harry bonding with Cisco, H.R. sacrificing himself for Iris, or Eobard Thawne being Eobard,…
I called my review of last week's episode "Goodbye Mr. Palmer." I was mistaken about which episode was the last for Ray Palmer and Nora Darhk after reading that actor Brandon Routh felt his exit was poorly handled. I should've double-checked my work. And so, I apologize, because his true goodbye episode is a proper…
Supergirl is no stranger to tough topics and social justice. The entire, excellent, fourth season was all about how a hero like Supergirl could (and couldn't) fight an impassioned hate movement. This week, the show tackles a question that's been looming behind the show's latest hero, Dreamer. Meanwhile, J'onn and Alex hunt down a VR…
The CW has made some minor changes to its upcoming schedule of new episodes for its assorted Arrowverse series. Beginning March 24 it appears that the network will begin rationing its completed episodes. Due to the Coronavirus pandemic, production was shut down on all Warner Bros. Television series last week. With no clear indication of…
Villains can run the gamut from moustache-twirling evil to that-guys-got-a-point. Somewhere in there, there's the sympathetic villain. The one that, the more you learn about them, the harder it gets to blame them. That's Alice. The show has gone out of its way since the very first moments to paint Alice as, of course, dangerous…
Tragedy struck the set of the Batwoman television series last week as a crew member was injured while on-set. Production assistant Amanda Smith,30, was injured on March 11 while on the set of the CW series. According to reports she was sitting under the Georgia Viaduct when a boom lift struck her in the head…
DC's Legends of Tomorrow has turned into not just my favorite Arrowverse show but one of my favorite TV shows in general. When I found out last year that Brando Routh, who has played Ray Palmer on the show since its inception, was leaving, I was a little heartbroken. When Routh said recently that he…
Over eight years and almost 30 seasons of shows, the Arrowverse has had countless villains. While there have been a few misses over the years, the group of shows that we call the Arrowverse has brought some of the best DC villains to life with comics-perfect looks, great writing, and awesome effects. These are the…
The impact of the coronavirus pandemic has found its way to the DC universe. Warner Bros. Television Group has announced that it has suspended the production of all current TV series as well as upcoming pilots. As Friday drew to a close, Warner Bros. Television Group cleared up all the rumors that had begun in…
Supergirl has been meandering all season. Despite having a Big Bad in the form of Leviathan since episode 1, the show has felt lost. It's a sharp contrast to the relative laser focus of season 4. Things seemed to get better after the Crisis on Infinite Earths ended, but it's only now that the show is…
Alright, Flash, enough already. Over on Legends of Tomorrow, the Time Idiots are dealing with revived villains. They're calling them Encores. It's been fun and silly. When The Flash brought back Mirror Master as a new character with better effects, I was stoked, and I'm still digging it. But now it's starting to feel like a crutch. Where Legends…
I never thought I'd say the sentence "I really enjoyed Wayne Brady as a villain." But here we are at the end of Black Lightning Season 3. After an explosive finale that ties up a ton of loose ends, I can say that this season was the best yet and that I'm deeply curious to…
While there was a time when Warner Bros. looked upon the Arrowverse as an inconvenience, squishing attempts to use characters they wanted to put into movies, the media giant has since acknowledged that the Arrowverse can do its own thing and is even willing to take part in it once in a while. Even so,…
