Supergirl: Suspicious Minds

Supergirl is usually about her protecting the world. This time around, a lot of people are trying really hard to protect her.

Gotham: Penguin, Our Hero

You know things are getting weird, even for Gotham, when you have a title like, “Penguin, Our Hero.”

The Flash: The Flash and the Furious

Back from the annual crossover and holiday break, The Flash returns with the obviously derivative title, “The Flash and The Furious.”

Gotham: Trespassers

Gotham’s final season, based on No Man’s Land, continues with “Trespassers.” Gotham has become a place you’d expect to see Mad Max riding around in, or maybe Snake Plissken trying to Escape from.

Gotham: No Man’s Land: Year Zero

Gotham begins its fifth and final season with an impressive opener. Borrowing titles from two different Batman stories, the season subtitle is “No Man’s Land” and the episode is “Year Zero.”

Titans: Doom Patrol

Episode four of the Titans is “Doom Patrol” and that pretty much says it all. It’s an odd choice to detour to an entirely different group so early in the first season of a new show.

Supergirl: Elseworlds, Part 3

Supergirl wraps up the annual crossover with “Elseworlds, Part 3.” Picking up pretty much where the last part left off, Barry and Oliver, now being seen as the outlaw Trigger Twins, face off against a black-suited Superman, who proves to be Dr. Deegan, the man causing all the problems for our heroes. The introductory voice over is even done by Deegan, although the phrasing sounds like it’s borrowed from Arrow’s usual lead in.

Black Lightning: The Book of Rebellion: Chapter Two: The Gift of the Magi

Essentially, most of the cast handle things badly in “The Book of Rebellion: Chapter Two: The Gift of the Magi.” The title doesn’t even really work, as it references a very specific short story and none of the circumstances of the show really fit it.

Legends of Tomorrow: Legends of To-Meow-Meow

The mid-season finale wave keeps rolling, this time hitting the Legends of Tomorrow, or, in this case, the “Legends of To-Meow-Meow.”

Arrow, Elseworlds Part 2

The big CW Elseworlds crossover continues over on Arrow. The episodes debuts the new voiceover for the series, but it’s being done by Barry because of the body swap, which is a really nice little detail that they probably spent more than they needed to on.
