Recap: SUPERGIRL Season 1, Episode 12 ‘Bizarro’
Warning this review contains spoilers. After last the couple of episodes focusing on Winn and Hank, it was time that the focus went back to Kara. We finally get to see Bizzaro in action, and boy was it a treat! We take a quick trip to the past as we see Bizzaro’s origin (via flashback). We see Maxwell Lord training this Supergirl clone to kill Supergirl. He makes the clone feel pain whenever she sees Supergirl. Being a clone of Kara means that she has all of her powers and weaknesses, but we’ll get into that later. We see Kara and Adam go on their date, and things are going…

Arrow Season 4, Episode 8, “Legends of Yesterday” Review
[This is a review of Arrow Season 4, Episode 8, Legends of Yesterday, and it will contain spoilers.] This year’s Arrow/Flash crossover found a way to be more true to the concept of a crossover than last year’s, which mostly just shared a few characters. We have a continuous antagonist, a cliffhanger ending, and a single story told in two parts. While the crossover episodes might not serve as the best standalone installments of either Arrow or The Flash in that they don’t really progress the plot of either show (and really mostly serves to set up Legends of Tomorrow), it really allows the strengths of both shows to shine through…

GOTHAM Review: Worse Than The Crime
Warning: This review contains spoilers. With a teaser trailer for the film Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice attached to the fall finale of Gotham, this episode was front and center in the geek community. After all of the hype from the teaser we can finally look at the episode and see that it was one of the best of the season. We have Bruce is Galavan’s custody and is about to be killed by the Order of St Dumas. We also find out that Silver still has feelings for Bruce.

Arrow, Season 4, Episode 7, ‘Brotherhood’ Review
[This is a full spoiler review for Arrow Season 4, Episode 7, so be warned.] Arrow’s doing something new. A lot of things new, actually, although you wouldn’t believe it when the episode opens with a truck heist. Or when that heist is stopped by a mob of masked vigilantes. Or when some characters make stubborn decisions that don’t seem to make any sense.Despite all these tired cliches that have come to personify this show, it is actually going in some fresh and new directions.First, before I get to the actual episode, my hat is off to Gordon Verheul. Gordon has directed almost 2 dozen episodes of Arrow at this…

GOTHAM Review; Scarification
Warning: This review contains spoilers The first few episodes of ‘Gotham’ were a vast improvement on last season. The tine was more consistent, the villains are better and Bruce is not the focal point of the story. Some of that changes is this episode. We see that the Penguin is still trying to find his mother, and his worrying driving him insane. This is an interesting arc for the Penguin. I believed that he would be more in control and strong. After the progress of the last season. I didn’t think he would return to wining like the first season. Though It is justified after what Galavan has put him through. Galavan’s real plan was…

Arrow, Season 4, Episode 2, ‘The Candidate,’ Review
[This is a full review, and there will be spoilers.] After the season 4 premier episode puts Team Arrow right back where we left them, episode 2 wastes no time in introducing new plot elements. While many appear quite promising for the long haul of season 4, one can’t help but feel some of the extra threads could also become cumbersome quite quickly. Whereas episode 1 was very much focused on the lack of leadership and the void left by the absence of The Arrow, episode 2 is very much about Leadership. Jessica Danforth decides to run for Mayor, Felicity struggles to convince the Palmer Technologies board of directors (and…

Arrow, Season 4, Episode 1 ‘Green Arrow’ Review
[Warning: This is a full spoiler review.] After an overall underwhelming 3rd season, Arrow Season 4 kicks things off with an entirely fresh take. Oliver and Felicity have settled in to a suburban lifestyle, and are trying to live a domesticated life, having brunch with neighbors, and learning to become better cooks. Oliver still wears a green hoodie from time to time, but he’s gotten the dragon tattoo that memorialized Shado removed as he tries to move beyond his past life, and he’s even preparing to propose to Felicity. Unfortunately, the fresh take stops there. Things are not so different in the city formerly known as Starling city. Some things…
