Superman and Lois: The Inverse Method
Among the reasons I think Superman and Lois has been such a great show is the characterizations and writing. Which is why this episode seemed a bit jarring.

Last episode of Legends of Tomorrow gave us a lot of the backstory about some of the odd things happening this season. We learned a lot about Bishop, and, while I really don’t care for the character, it was an interesting insight into what was happening with him and how he arrived at certain decisions and points of view. The episode ended with the team about to jump again in Dr. Davies’ time machine and Bishop making an unexpected arrival as he fled from an evil Gideon of his own creation. Now, the Legends are in a different era with more problems to deal with in “A Woman’s Place is in the War Effort!”
he five part “Armageddon” event kicked off with Flash’s first episode of season eight. Billed as a special crossover to help make up for the lack of big events due to COVID, this is supposed to feature Barry Allen and company teaming up with various other Arrowverse characters to battle a great menace.
DC Comics’ newest property on the CW, Naomi, is still in the origin phases of their story. There are a lot of things that aren’t quite adding up, and I’m really hoping there’s going to be a big “Oh, THAT’S what’s going on” moment.
Some of Lois’ past is coming back to haunt her with a past story she wrote spawning both professional problems and family drama. Clark is having weird visions that are throwing one of the world’s most powerful beings off his game. Add in a mayoral race in Smallville, some relationship issues for Jordan and Sarah, and the sadly believable illegal drug scene in a small town, and things are getting complicated.
Batwoman has been one of the better CW shows for a while. First season was great, second was so much better than anticipated, and third has been pretty good. Which is why this particular episode is so disappointing.
The good news from last episode is that the time machine works. The bad news is it still has some bugs, and they don’t end up quite when or where they were aiming for.
The newest DC Comics based CW show is still in the midst of the origin story for the titular character, Naomi. We’ve learned a bit about some oddities in her life, and she’s digging into the mystery as she learns more.
There are attempts to reach out, some good decisions, and a at least one “I can’t believe he fell for that” moment in “The Ties that Bind.”
Although he seemingly died at the end of the movie, no one dies forever in comics, and that includes the comic book-based movies. Now Cena is back as Peacemaker in an 8 episode run on HBO Max, written and directed by James Gunn (Suicide Squad, Guardians of the Galaxy). The chaos starts off with “A Whole New Whirled.”
