POKEMON: THE POWER OF US Trailer Released
Yesterday, The Pokémon Company released a full-length trailer for Pokémon the Movie: The Power of Us. The Power of Us is the second movie in the retelling of Ash’s journey as a trainer. As someone who clocked out when it comes to The Pokémon Company’s animated material, I found the trailer harmless. If you are still a fan that follows it, I think this trailer is just for you.

John Wesley Shipp’s Flash Will Return in Arrowverse’s “Elseworlds” Crossover
John Wesley Shipp has played a key supporting role on The Flash, first as Barry Allen’s father and then as speedster Jay Garrick.

Arrow star Stephen Amell tweeted the following “Elseworlds” set photo, featuring Oliver Queen and Barry Allen in their swapped costumes, as well as Supergirl. But most significantly, it shows John Wesley Shipp in his original Flash costume. No big deal. Just working with @JohnWesleyShipp for the first time. Nice of him to dress up for the…
