Defenders Mini-Trailer

Now that Iron Fist has finally come out, Netflix is moving forward with the big team up. The Defenders will feature all four heroes: Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist, much of their supporting casts, and there are rumors about the Punisher popping up. They have finally given us a release date: August…

Arrow: Disbanded

  Last episode, Oliver was battered and beaten by Prometheus. Now, he’s still looking horrible, and is sticking by his pronouncement that the team is done. I think that’s horribly unfair of Oliver. Even if he’s done as a hero, I question why he gets to decide that for everyone else. Then again, he’s not…

Legends of Tomorrow: Doomworld

Last time, the bad guys won in an ugly, decisive way. The Legion of Doom got the Spear of Destiny, and they used it. How bad is it? Well, Eobard Thawne, the Reverse Flash, is doing the opening voiceover now, which can’t be a good sign. As he says at the end, “It’s a brave…

Flash: Abra Kadabra

  After last week’s lighthearted “Duet,” we’re back into seriousness and moral quandaries. The race to save Iris tempts a few of the characters to do the wrong things. A supporting character returns, as does a villain, and we meet another of Flash’s classic comic foes in the appropriately titled, “Abra Kadabra.” In the comics,…

Supergirl: Distant Sun

  Supergirl’s life keeps getting complicated in “Distant Sun.” One thing I noticed that I hadn’t caught last episode is that her intro/voiceover is wrong now. She’s not working at CatCo. Either there’s something coming down the pike about that, or the show runners are being lazy. Or both, I suppose. The episode starts off…

Legion: Chapter 7

Legion’s short season continues along its psychedelic way in the not creatively-named “Chapter 7.” Most of the cast are still trapped in the illusionary version of the Clockworks Institute, presided over by Lennie. Lennie is playing a very different version of doctor in this world, and most of them would rather not be playing. Just…

Iron Fist Episode 2: Shadow Hawk Takes Flight

The first episode didn’t end in a good place for Danny Rand. He was betrayed by someone he thought was a friend, drugged, and ended up in a mental hospital. Well, at least that makes some of my bad days look a lot better by comparison. “Shadow Hawk Takes Flight” continues Danny’s story, with a…

Arrow: Kapiushon

As the season goes on, Arrow is getting a lot darker. We’ve seen the lengths Prometheus is willing to go to in order to get his revenge, and there’s been some ugly stuff. Oliver, our notional hero, is drifting along down the dark side himself. We see a lot of this in Kapiushon, the most…

Legends of Tomorrow: Fellowship of the Spear

  The episode starts off in 1918 France. It’s an interesting choice, with the Wonder Woman movie coming up and so much of that appearing to be set in the same era. Nate, Sara, and Amaya are dressed in appropriate clothes for the time, and tracking blood with the assembled Spear of Destiny. Then, with…

Flash: Duet

Flash and Supergirl team up again, although in a unique way this time out. It’s the much-hyped musical episode as the Fastest Man Alive, the Girl of Steel, and various guests get ready for, “Duet.” The antagonist this time around is the Music Meister, whose only other appearance wasn’t in the comics at all, but…
