8 on Arrow Season 8, Episode 4 Review - Days of Future PresentThere'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…
As the Crisis on Infinite Earths is approaching, Barry turns his attention to preparing Ralph for life without him. The Flash episode 606, "License to Elongate," will also mark the directorial debut of Danielle Panabaker (Killer Frost). RALPH GOES DEEP UNDERCOVER -- Barry (Grant Gustin) turns his attention to prepping Elongated Man (Hartley Sawyer) for…
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…
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…
A murder shakes Gotham to its core, and the city may finally have to accept Batwoman. Batwoman episode 106, "I'll Be Judge, I'll Be Jury," will see Batwoman integrating herself even further into the fabric of the city. NOTHING AS IT SEEMS -- A disturbing death has Gotham reeling and the city reaches out for…
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…
Superman may be flying to The CW on a more regular basis as it has been revealed that a Superman & Lois series is in development. Warner Bros. TV has revealed that it is working on a Superman & Lois series to star Tyler Hoechlin and Elizabeth Tulloch respectively. Hoechlin has been appearing on Supergirl…

The Flash episode 605, "Kiss Kiss Breach Breach," will also see Killer Frost going off on an investigation on her own. DANNY TREJO GUEST STARS -- Cisco's (Carlos Valdes) faith in his ability to fill Barry's…
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…
Oliver Queen's Farewell Tour continues this week, but things are a lot more mundane this time around. It's hard not to be a little bit disappointed that the whole season isn't an earth-hopping extravaganza, but the episode still yields some good character moments that show us that this season isn't just a case of turning…
It's old home time on Arrow as the series wraps up, and that means it's time for Curtis to appear.
