REVIEW: Superman & Lois 1×01: Pilot – It’s a Lois and Clark Solo Series, baby!
It’s 2021, y’all, and Lois Lane STILL doesn’t have a solo movie. On the other hand, it’s 2021 and Lois Lane has a co-staring TV Show now! That’s what you call loosing the battle but winning the war. Superman & Lois is the latest take on DC’s man in tights. Part of the Arrowverse, the show was developed by Todd Helbing and Greg Berlanti and stars Tyler Hoechlin as Clark Kent, Elizabeth Tulloch as Lois Lane, and Jordan Elsass & Alex Garfin as their sons Jonathan & Jordan. The show has a different feel from most Arrowverse-fare. It’s presented in anamorphic widescreen, making the show look like you’re watching a…

10 Characters We Want to See on SUPERMAN & LOIS
The CW‘s Arrowverse will expand with its next spinoff series next year. Superman & Lois shifts the focus to Clark Kent and his wife, as they balance the challenges of superheroics and raising two sons. The show is already confirmed to feature several new characters, such as Lana Lang and The Stranger (rumored to be an alternate version of Lex Luthor). The Arrowverse shows are known for focusing on characters from the comics. Some are making their live action debuts, while others are being re-adapted or even crossing over from other shows. That is expected to be the same with Superman & Lois. And considering the Man of Steel’s gallery…

Ranking Every Season of ARROW
The CW’s Arrow recently ended its eight-season run, in the aftermath of the Crisis on Infinite Earths crossover. While not the longest-running superhero show, its legacy is still unparalleled. Not only did it increase the cultural impact of Green Arrow and his supporting cast, but it spawned a shared universe that consists of several ongoing shows. This culminated in Crisis on Infinite Earths, which used the Multiverse to connect countless DC shows and movies spanning decades. Now, with Oliver Queen‘s story finished, we wanted to look back at Arrow, season-by-season. Of course, not every season is on the same level of quality; some are good, some are great, some are…

5 Characters Who Can Replace Kate Kane as The CW’s Batwoman
A couple weeks ago, it was announced that Ruby Rose had exited from the lead role on The CW‘s Batwoman. The news was shocking, as the Arrowverse has never lost a series lead like this before. Multiple reasons were given as to why Rose left, but at the time, it was said that the role of Kate Kane will be recast. Despite that, recent reports have suggested that a new character will assume the mantle next season, rather than recasting Kane. While unconfirmed, it would make some sense. It would free the show of the risk of bringing in a new face for Kane for fans to get used to,…

FLASH SPOILER Review: Episode 6×15- “The Exorcism of Nash Wells”
The Flash (6×15)- “The Exorcism of Nash Wells” Written by: Lauren Barnett & Sterling Gates Directed by: Eric Dean Seaton Are you ready for some hot, steamy Nash Wells backstory action? No?

How CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS Redeemed Brandon Routh’s Superman
The CW’s Crisis on Infinite Earths crossover included many beloved characters from past DC films and television shows. One of the most significant was Brandon Routh’s Superman. Routh played the Man of Steel in 2006’s Superman Returns, which was intended to be a continuation of the Christopher Reeve Superman series. Despite positive reviews from critics, the film underperformed at the box office and received mixed reactions from fans. This led to sequel plans being scrapped and the franchise being rebooted. So, fans probably were not expecting Routh to play Superman again. Fast-forward over a decade, and things have changed. Routh took on another DC hero role – this time as…

FLASH SPOILER Review: Episode 6×10- “Marathon”
The Flash (6×10)- “Marathon” Written by: Sam Chalsen & Lauren Barnett Directed by: Stefan Pleszczynski Now we’re really back. And it’s a whole new, jumbled up world. Where everybody’s around (except for Batman and Wonder Woman but that’s understandable) and potentially able to show up. Let’s celebrate with a cup of coffee. Fortunately, Jitters is reopening after a five month renovation (I hope it’s more than just new turquoise chairs and bus trays because that shouldn’t have taken five months.) But wouldn’t you know it, Jitters can’t even properly reopen without some people trying to shoot up the place and rob them. Fortunately, this was just dumb criminals doing dumb…

The Legacy of ARROW – Eight Seasons and a Universe
Arrow started as a show about a guy wanting to atone for his father’s sins. Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell) was nothing more than a rich douchebag who only cared about himself. After five years in hell, and eight years as the hero vigilante, the Green Arrow – Oliver became a god and helped usher in a new universe. This is the Legacy of Arrow. Let’s rewind a bit and take a look at what this show was initially. The CW, a Warner Brothers television network, previously had massive success with Smallville. A series that centered around a young Clark Kent and his adventures before he became the Man of Steel,…
