24 on CW releases first photos from Crisis on Infinite EarthsThe CW has released photos for Supergirl's ninth episode this season, "Crisis on Infinite Earths: Part One." And it looks like it's going to be a heck of an hour. While the Crisis on Infinite Earths crossover doesn't kick off until Dec. 8, The CW is already promoting it. Just looking through these pictures we…
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…
The Crisis on Infinite Earths crossover is on its way, and we finally have our first teaser video. On Sunday, The CW shared a new teaser video across the Arrowverse social accounts. While the video is short, it does give us a good taste of all the heroes being crossed over. Of course, there are…
Will Supergirl be able to use a new villain to help her solve the latest attacks? Supergirl episode 506, "Confidence Women," will also see Lena exploring her own past with Andrea. PIECE TOGETHER THE PAST -- While a new villain is under arrest at the DEO, Supergirl (Melissa Benoist) uses him to try and understand…
The heroes of Arrow are preparing for the coming of Crisis on Infinite Earths, and that requires some traveling. Arrow episode 805, "Prochnost," will see Team Arrow gathering more allies and resources for the upcoming fight. DON'T LET YOUR PAST DEFINE YOU -- Upon learning the key to oppose The Monitor (guest star LaMonica Garrett),…
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…
When you're pulling double duty on a TV show, and you're buried under layers of make-up, you need to find humor where you can. In the case of LaMonica Garrett you go with fun puns. In an image posted to his Twitter, Garrett, in full Anti-Monitor makeup, expressed his displeasure for... a monitor. It does…
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…
Filming has begun on the series finale of Arrow, and Stephen Amell decided to get ahead of the rumor mill on a guest appearance. Taking to his Twitter account on Friday, Amell said, "There'll be a lot of news coming out about our final episode over the next few months. I prefer when you hear…
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…
When you look at any list of "top 10," "best ever," "my favorite" Superman stories, one common thread is that a lot of them are Elseworlds-style stories. Superman: Red Son and Superman as Overman come to mind. In other stories, he's lost most of his powers. It's not that there aren't great Superman stories so…
When the CW's Arrow was just starting out, it waded its way into the superhero waters slowly. It wasn't until the fourth season that Oliver called himself the Green Arrow, and another character even made fun of the idea back in the first season. We only had to wait for three episodes for Kate Kane to don…
If Oliver is the father of the Arrowverse, Barry must be the cool uncle. The Arrowverse sprung forth from the work of the team behind Arrow, and The Flash carried the torch as the Arrowverse expanded. Supergirl, Black Lightning, and Batwoman all seem blissfully unaware of the coming Crisis (Batwoman is back in time a ways, anyway). Oliver…
