31 on Harley Quinn 2x12 Review - It's over Dr. Psycho, I have the high groundOne of the biggest gripes people have with the Star Wars prequels is Anakin's unconvincing turn to the dark side of the Force. The subsequent animated series' helped flesh it out, but the movies on their own make the turn look sudden and childish. Today, we're talking about a different Darkseid and a much more convincing…
The latest Doom Patrol season 2 trailer is here, and it looks as though this season could actually top the first on the weird scale. Beyond the Doom Patrol itself, we're going to see a lot of oddball DC characters making their live-action debuts. We can look forward to meeting The Candlemaker, Doctor Tyme, Red…
Something pop culture often struggles with is calling out a problem and then actually criticizing it. Stargirl is just a teenager and she's making rookie mistakes, but it feels like the writers are making the mistakes at least as often--if not moreso--than Stargirl herself. Spoilers follow for Stargirl Season 1, Episode 5, "Hourman and Dr. Mid-Nite." "Hourman and…
When we talk about Batman and the Joker, one thing people love to bring up is that both of them are strictly human. And yet, we treat them almost like avatars of justice and chaos at the same time. That's especially the case with the Joker. We see Batman during his downtime in the Batcave…
Things are never exactly what they seem in Doom Patrol, and the first season had each of our characters unraveling the mysteries of their personal lives and their unique burdens and abilities. They went from housemates to friends as they fought and defeated Mr. Nobody. Now, the second-most dysfunctional superhero team in comics (after the X-Men)…
So far, all episodes of Stargirl have a few things in common. Themes of family and loss connect the storylines, the visual effects are great, and I hate Courtney's stepbrother in every scene he's in with a wild, burning passion. In that way, the latest episode is no different. Spoilers follow for Stargirl Season 1, episode 4,…
I said in my review of Stargirl episode 2 that family is a huge part of this show, and this week only serves to hammer that home as we're introduced to the families of two villains while our hero's family tries to have family dinner night. Spoilers follow for Stargirl season 1, episode 3, "Icicle." "Icicle" One of my…
What if your new stepdad had a huge muscle car-themed mech suit? Underneath all the superhero stuff, there are themes of loss and of found family woven throughout Stargirl. This week dives into how both of these affect Courtney and her family as it also begins to develop the villains Courtney will be fighting. Spoilers follow…
Harley Quinn is a show about growth. It's the story of Harley's transformation from the Joker's gun moll into something of her own creation. It's Harley's new origin story. As much as this show is about hijinks (and so high are those jinks!), it never forgets that Harley needs to be slowly growing and changing. This…
Stargirl is about to recruit the first member to her new version of the Justice Society. Stargirl episode 104, "Wildcat," will see Stargirl recruiting an all-new Wildcat to join her in the fight. THE FIRST RECRUIT -- After realizing that she needs the extra help, Courtney (Brec Bassinger) sets out to recruit new members to…
June is here, and that means it's time to see what DC Universe has in store for us. The offerings to both watch and read are looking pretty good this month. What is coming to DC Universe in June? Check out all of the additions below! New to Watch on DC Universe This June New…
Relationships are tough, and marriage is a big deal. That's why we celebrate them with parties. Even Poison Ivy and Kite Man want to have memorable moments before their nuptials, but things don't always go as planned. Spoilers follow for Harley Quinn Season 2, Episode 9, "Bachelorette." "Bachelorette" Poison Ivy is getting married to Kite Man despite…
When I reviewed the first 3 episodes of Stargirl a few weeks back, I had a lot of issues with what I saw. But then, I have a lot of issues with just about every show on the CW. Flash, Supergirl, Arrow, and even Legends of Tomorrow have all had entire seasons that are tough to get through,…
Sometimes, when you don't want to deal with something, you'll do anything and everything to avoid dealing with it, including unleashing Parademons on Gotham to start a war with the police commissioner. Spoilers follow for Harley Quinn Season 2, Episode 8, "Inner (Para)Demons." "Inner (Para)Demons" Last week's episode ended with two big moments: Harley Quinn and Ivy's…
If you lived in the world of Dark Knight Rises, Bane would be a terrifying person. He's a genius terrorist who does what Ra's Al Ghul couldn't and even defeats Batman. But he's remembered more for the strange filter put on his voice by his breathing mask. An intimidating, dangerous man became a meme thanks…
Doom Patrol season 2 has set its premiere date, and it's coming sooner than you think. Doom Patrol season 2 will be taking a bit of a different road into our homes. The biggest difference is that not only will you find the new episodes on DC Universe, but they will also be shown on…
This week over on the CW, Supergirl prominently featured Lex Luthor as we looked at his first three months as Earth's savior in a post-Crisis world. Harley Quinn, meanwhile, takes a deep dive into the Joker's past as a way of looking at Harley and Ivy's friendship. It's almost certainly coincidental, but interesting nonetheless. Spoilers follow for Harley Quinn…
Batman is, no question, the ultimate badass. He's the smartest, hardest-working guy in almost any room he's in, and he's usually the most dangerous, too. But he's struggled over and over again with simple social tasks like making friends or asking for help, even when he desperately needs it. In the comics, it makes him…
Stargirl is still a few weeks out from its debut, but the CW is going into the full swing of promoting the latest superhero series. Despite the fact that Stargirl will be a shared series between DC Universe and The CW, it definitely appears that the latter is doing the heavy lifting when it comes…
Could the Harley Quinn-Poison Ivy romantic relationship finally be making its way to the animated series? It sure seems that way. With Poison Ivy having a relationship with Kite Man (Hell Yeah!) on Harley Quinn, it has felt as though the relationship with Harley wouldn't exist in this iteration. Apparently you should never say never.…
