Hope, Help and Compassion for All: Batwoman "Crisis on Infinite Earths, Part 2"

To find truth and courage will rely on two people. It's probably who and who not you're thinking. Here's a recap of Part Two!

Moments after Part 1, the team is greving from the lost of Oliver; Harbinger has gotten another version of Legend's Waverider and Mick from another Earth; for them to use and help. The Monitor tells the team that what he read in the "Book of Destney"; they must find the seven Paragons that could help get a win against the Anti-Monitor. While they got two of them, Sara the dysteny paragon and Kara the paragon of Hope. The other two rely on Superman and Batman.

As Clark, Lois and Iris search for Superman; they're challeneged by Lex Luther, who steals the book of Distney and tries to kill all the Supermens on each of the mulitverisons of Earth. While they stopped on Earth-167 where Smallville Clark Kent lives; Lois, Iris and Clark found the right Clark Kent in Earth-96, but as Lex gets to them he has both Supermen fighting each other. That is until Lois knocks Lex out and both her and Iris save Earth-96 Clark from killing our Clark.

Meanwhile, Kate and Kara go find Batman in Earth-99; but when they get there the Bruce that Kate knows is no longer familair as he's not only old but broken while wearing an exoskeloton suit. Kara  help Kate decide that Bruce is not the paragon of courage after learning that he had killed Superman of that plaent. Kate knocks Bruce out and electicutes him.

Later on as Ray Palmer and Clark Kent of Earht-96 introudce each other; Kate learns that the bat of the future is no  that turns out to be The Anti-Monitor, who is asking for her help.

Part 2 was a very good next chapter in this crossover event. The episode does live up to the hpe from the previous episode with strong character development and some very overwhelming at times, nostalgic.

Let me just say that I ate up every second of seeing Earth-96 and Earth-167 of Supermen. I love Smallville and very much think that Superman Returns is an underrated Superman movie that no one gives enough credit just like Man of Steel. And I ate up when Lex from Earth-38 meets with Clark of Erath -167 and realie that he has no powers and still wiped Lex's butt.

Anyway, Kevin Conroy playing Bruce Wayne was a television moment dream come true; as someone who's been the voice of Batman in the animated tv shows, movies and video games. This was very, very good.

The Kate and Kara story was so damn good and that I hope down the road there's gonna be a crossover between them. That needs to happen!! Hear me CW! Needs to happen!! Just like the comics and animated shows, I just love how these two can help each other when one of them are down. But I am worried about what Kate will do with that spare kryptonite she took from Bruce. Don't ruin something that's good now!!

As for the Barry/Mia/Sara storyline, what's the point of a death if they're trying to bring him back to life? Wouldn't that ruin the entire moment and momentum of this event?
Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

You can catch Part 3 of the Crisis on Infinite Earths Tuesday on The Flash at 8/7c on The CW; and stay tune for the Aftershow.

"Superfriends": Supergirl Season 4

The fourth season was as jolting of high intensity drama as it could have ever have been.

I thought that the fourth season of Supergirl was a very powerful but overwheleming season that takes on the issues of immigration but also secrets and even family. There might have been a few episodes like "Menagerie" was a bit of a snoozefest to me. Otherwise, most of the episodes were pretty much good to even better.

While Benoist and the cast gave a great performance in the fourth season; the one person that shines throughout was Nicole Maines as Nia/Dreamer. Maines performance in the first episode is almost like Benoist's performance when we first meet her as Kara in the pilot.

And I thought that Jon Cryer as Lex Luther could be wrong; I was totally stunned by his performance. It wasn't just wacky but so brilliantly well done that; it was better than Gene Hackman or Jessie Eisenberg.

I very much enjoyed season four and while it made me cry at times; it was as better as the previous season. The writing was so good as it could have been; with the season finale was as powerful as I thought it could in the way that it concluded. Season five should be interesting and the Crisis on Infinite Earth will be an event unlike anyother in the Arrowverse. Overall, I give this season an 8.9/10.

You can catch Supergirl Sundays at 9/8c on The CW.

Crisis on Infinite Earths Crossover Promo

The first promo is out for the epic Five episode crossover event DC's Crisis on Infinite Earths.

It looks like to be a good one that's not to be missed.

Here's a promo:

You can catch the crossover event beginning Sunday, December 8th at 8/7c on The CW.

The CW Renews Supergirl, Black Lightning, The Flash and more.

On Thursday, The CW announced that they're renewing 10 of their current shows that include The Flash, Arrow, Supergirl, Riverdale, Black Lightning, DC's Legends of Tomorrow, Supernatural and Dynasty. Also, the freshmen shows of Charmed and Legacies are picked up for a second season.

"This season, we expanded our primetime schedule to six nights with the addition of Sunday-which has been an unqualified success for the network, our affiliates, and our advertisers," said CW president Mark Pedowtiz in a statement. "In addition to growing our schedule across the week, we also continue to add more year-round programming...(We) look forward to building on this with even more returning and new shows as we approach the May upfronts."

Batwoman Gets Pilot Pick Up From The CW

Well, it's official Batwoman has a pilot ordered by The CW.

The CW announced that they handed a pilot order, which starts Ruby Rose ("Orange is the New Black") in the role. Rose's Batwoman made her debut in last month's multi-part Arrowverse crossover event "Elseworlds."

David Nutter will direct the pilot and Caroline Dries (The Vampire Diaries) will write the pilot and will executive produce alongside Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter and Geoff Johns.

 It's slated for a potential Fall 2019 premiere, Batwoman would follow Kate Kane, the second incarnation of Batwoman character in the DC Comics lore that was introduced in 2006. She's described as "an out lesbian and highly trained street fighter" who is "primed to snuff out the failing city's criminal resurgence."

Oh man, I'm so excited! I'm sure it'll be picked up for series before the fall season begins. Ruby Rose really stole the crossover event over the other characters Maybe if it gets picked up that it'll be placed alongside Supergirl to make it World's Finest Night on The CW.

Prepare for What's Coming: Supergirl Elseworlds, Part 3

After two nights of full of excitement, drama and super amazing moments; Part 3 of Elseworld ends with Supergirl that not deals with some life changes but something more is coming. Here's a recap!

Continuing from where we left off in Arrow as Barry and Oliver learn that Deegan changed reality once again and has become the black-suited Superman. Oliver gets a chance to escape from him by calling his bluff to have him save the citizens. They come up with a plan to find Cisco but got sidetracked when they meet with The Mointer and learned that all of this is a test to see who's strong and willing.

As Barry and Oliver find Cisco and convinced him to help him us his power to get them into Earth 38, to get Clark and Lois' help. Kara is trapped by Deegan and uses not only Oliver and Barry's friends to help him but Alex as well. Kara talks to Alex and convinces her that she's not this kind of person and describes her sister and what she means to her. Alex helps Kara get free and meets up with Deegan but Barry, Oliver, and Clark make it back in time. 

Clark and Deegan fight, while Kara, Barry, and Alex located the book and gives it to Clark to help refix reality. Barry gets his powers back, Oliver returns to normal, but Deegan gets the book back and the team devices a plan. Barry and Kara use their speed to slow down time, while Olver meets with The Monitor and asked to help change history as both Barry and Kara are the sign of hope for the world.

Just as Barry and Kara are about to burst into flame, time slows down and Oliver takes his shot at Deegan and stops him. And both Barry and Kara are still alive after going mack 7 speed. After things changed back, Deegan's face is deformed and sent to Arkham in Gotham. Kara and Clark have a nice moment and learns that he and Lois are moving back to start a family. But a call from Kate Kane to Oliver gets worried about a friend that Deegan is making in Arkham and that friend is Psycho-Pirate. And a short teaser to what comes next fall "Crisis on Infinite Earths."

"Elseworlds Part 3" was a fantastic episode ending but a nice cliffhanger to what comes next year. This episode really gave a strong character development, mainly between Oliver and Barry as those two grew closer as friends and Oliver grew more as a person that shouldn't wait but have hope and go with it. Maybe he and Felicity will finally get back together. But let me just say this that this crossover was like the perfect freaky Fridays meet bosom buddies moments for Barry and Oliver that I enjoyed too much. Another thing, I WANT TO SEE BATWOMAN AS A SERIES!!! Ruby Rose killed it and gave us just enough to see her character and Gotham that this would work. Please make it work CW! MAKE IT WORK!!!

I thought there were some good moments for Kara too. When she convinces Alex the help her and describe how her Alex stands up to what she believes that gets her to be her own person. Also, the moment with Clark at the end was a good enough moment to know that it was like passing the mantle down of saving the world. Yeah, I may not like how it was done after seeing Clark get his butt kicked many times in this crossover but it was effective enough that I enjoyed it. And not to mention with what's coming next year that maybe that other Kara could be used in that situation. I don't know. I'm just guessing.

Overall, I give this episode a 9/10. I give the crossover event a 9/10.

You can catch Supergirl when it returns in January.

Fear: Supergirl "Fallout"

As the country is in anger about the President of the United States is an alien. Could Supergirl encourage the nation to show love and respect? Here's a recap!

The nation is angry that the President of the United States is an alien; and just as Supergirl meets with POTUS before leaving she encourages her to show hope. She does that at first when she saves a group of protesters who were arguing with one another; and asked to talk things out.

With the capture of Otis, Mercy is still out there and has another plan to make things worst for aliens. She steals an L-Crop employee's laptop so she can hack into Lena's company and deactivate her device that helps aliens disguise as humans. But when that failed but did some damage, Mercy shows up but not without a fight between Lena, which ended with Supergirl finally comes in to stop the fight.

With Otis and Mercy caught, it's over just yet as things around are starting to accelerate. Employees at the DEO have expressed their opinions about aliens living amongst us.  Jenson was one of them as he looks at Brainiac 5 and soon helps Otis and Mercy escape from the DEO and working for them now.
J'onn searches for his friend, who has been gone for a long time. After snooping around, he finds some clues that lead to a group gathering of an anti-alien propaganda with Agent Liberty as the speaker. He wants everyone to show fear and not hope.

I mention that Mercy tried to deactivate Lena's device earlier; which it did succeed when Brainiac 5 was getting pizzas and the manager was freaking out. But thanks to Nia who stood up for Brainiac 5 and saved him from a beatdown; but that courage got her to speak up to Jimmy that he needs to write an Op-Ed piece.  Even more to add that Nia tells Jimmy that she's a transgender woman and express how hard it was for her.

After listening to Nia's story, seeing an employee prank another employee and Supergirl's televised speech of hope and not fear; Jimmy wrote up his op-ed piece on what's going on in the country. But as things might seem to be okay, Mercy and Otis release kryptonite in the air and poisons Supergirl as she flies in the air.

"Fallout" was not only a  fantastic episode but it might have been stronger than the previous episode. I get what they are doing this season; and it's become so realistic of what's been going on in our world now, which overwhelms me at times. Not only was the writing strong with strong character developments but the character of Nia really shine in this episode and Nicole Maines gives a strong performance. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

You can catch Supergirl on Sundays at 8/7c on The CW.

"Best Wedding Ever!" Supergirl "Crisis on Earth-X part 1"

I agree with Heat Wave: "Best Wedding Ever."

Part one of the four-part epic crossover event, kicking off last night with Supergirl, delivered such an entertaining episode and set a great tone for the next episode.

In the parallel world, Earth-X, where the Nazi regime has ruled the planet, a dark hooded archer called Dark Arrow kills the American loyalists and others that are part of the resistance. Dark Arrow takes on The Guardian and, after a couple of seconds of battling, kills him. He joins his team as they are about to take a machine that will make sure they spread their hatred. Dark Arrow orders his team but changes when his partner Overgirl gives her orders.

Meanwhile, there's a wedding coming with Iris and Barry. They wonder if the others (Supergirl, Arrow, and the Legends) have RSVP their invitations, for which we get to see some kick-ass fighting scenes with our favorite DC TV heroes, but Kara and Alex get a moment during their bond time and decide to go.

With the girls having their time, Barry and Oliver have their Groom/Best Man talk about settling down, which is excellent and funny, with Barry making a joke that Oliver doesn't laugh at all. During the dinner, with everyone there, Iris' father gives a heartfelt speech about how they helped him find his way back to love again. The dinner had other great moments, one being Alex and Sara drinking up and having a one-night stand. The other Oliver is talking to Felicity about settling down, but she doesn't want to and walks away.

As the wedding begins, Kara sings, and just as the wedding starts, the minister is killed by Overgirl. After a fascinating and entertaining fight scene, Kara injures Overgirl during the fight, and the Nazis retreat, but our heroes capture Dark Arrow's partner Prometheus.

Dark Arrow and Overgirl discuss the plan and meet with the yellow speedster, who discuss their next step. Dark Arrow and Overgirl unmasked themselves and are revealed to be the parallel universe doppelgangers of Oliver Queen and Kara. The yellow speedster is Barry's presumed deceased nemesis, Eobard Thawne, the Reverse-Flash.

"Crisis on Earth-X Part 1" was nothing but stunning. The first part of the crossover event delivered such a kick-ass start with such thrilling to humoring moments, mostly coming from Heat Wave and even the moments with Sara and Alex, for which I'm down with that relationship if anyone has any objections. The drama between Oliver and Felicity was excellent, and I assume it'll carry good for the next episode. I think this might be one of the best crossover events than the one last season. The writing was excellent, and the performances go to an equal amount of everyone's effort. Overall, I give this episode 9/10.

You can catch the epic crossover event with Arrow last night and tonight's episode of The Flash and Legends of Tomorrow beginning at 8/7c on The CW. You can see the fall finale of Supergirl following Monday at 8/7c on The CW.

Supergirl "Girl of Steel" Season Premiere

The season premiere of Supergirl, Kara is grieving from the lost of Mon-El in the season finale and it's going to take a lot more than her friends and family to get her back to her regular self.

Kara seems to be focusing on her job more and not taking any autographs and photos with her fans that adore her. After she stopping a robbery during a car chase, Kara focus on searching for the suspect that got away from them, known as Bloodsport.

Alex tries to get Kara out of her grieving stages but nothing, not even pot stickers and game night with her friends and family is going to help. It does put a distraction on Alex and Maggie's wedding plans. After hearing from James that Kara quit her job at CatCo, Alex talks to her about it and it becomes one of a few moments in the episode that's overwhelming for the characters. When Kara says she doesn't know who Kara is anymore but she knows who Supergirl is and she can be that person but not Kara that sticks with you emotionally.

Meanwhile, James and Lena joins a city board meeting for Morgan Edge on his plans to improving the waterfront housing estates but the city has plans to honor Supergirl with a "Girl of Steel" and Edge isn't too please with it. But after both Lean and James have some "heart to heart" conversations about loyalty and such, Edge later announces he's buying CatCo.

And that doesn't end there, Edge hires Bloodsport to ruin the "Girl of Steel" celebration by lanching rockets underwater in a lead made submarine making Supergirl to use her hearing to locate where they are. As she goes after Bloodsport, she tries to stop another rocket that explodes in front of her and leaves her lifeless until she dreams of Mon-El waking her up and stops and picks up the submairne.

Edge's plan might have been stopped by Supergirl but someone else stops him as well. Lena stops him from buying out CatCo as she bought out the company herself. Edge gets mad but Supergirl comes in and takes the trash out and tells him that he has her attention and she'll be watching him.

At the end, Kara does get out of her grieving stages and gets back to her normal self by hanging out with Alex and friends. Not to mention that she comes back to CatCo after learning from Lena that she bought the company and not to mention that she did beg for her to come back as well.

Alex and Maggie comes to terms of their wedding and in one of the best scenes of the episode Alex asked J'onn to walk her down the aisle. The two got so emotional the Alex had to get both of them to wipe the tears off and says that if everyone say them crying the workers thinks they can cry.

But the ending of the episode leaves a nice cliffhanger for a character that we've been looking for, as a woman whom Alex saved during the waterfront attack, wakes up from a nightmare of a disturbing creature that could be Regin.

"Girl of Steel" was an amazing season premiere episode. It had such a dark tone but still kept what the show has always been with great scenes of humor and powerful emotional scenes from characters. The episode did such a great job keeping a strong character development and the performances from Benoist, Leigh and McGrath were really good and stood out. And not to mention the Leigh and Hardwood scene was a real scene stealer. I really enjoyed the introduction and development of Samantha Arias/Reign and I can't wait to see what comes next for the character and how she develops into the villain. Overall, I gives this episode a 9/10.

You can catch Supergirl Monday nights at 8/7c on The CW. 

Supergirl Season 3 Another Inside Look

Here's a clip of a longer discussion about the upcoming season three of Supergirl:

You can catch the return of Supergirl Monday, October 9th at 8/7c on The CW.

Supergirl Season 3: Meeting Reign with a Twist

When the third season of Supergirl premieres, expect to see a new big bad Reign to be not your typical villian. That could be that she might not have the idea that she is a villian.

If you remember at the closing of season two, it was revealed that another pod escaped Krypton's destruction, housing a bio-engineered weapon called Reign, also known to all as a Worldkiller. In the comics, the Worldkillers are bloodthiirsty, super-powered beings that's set out to conquer Earth.


But when Dette Annable (House) makes her debut in the season premiere, she'll be playing a very different character than what the comic book fans have come to know from the New 52s.

Executive Producer Andrew Kreisberg tells EW, "When we meet Reign, she's ust a woman. HEr name is Samanthan and she's a single mom, and she has no idea that she is Reign: she has no idea that she was the baby in the pod at the end of last season, so the journey that she takes this season is watching her realize her heritage and see how it manifests."

With Samantha's transformation into Reign, will speak with the show's theme this year. "The thing everybody is struggling with on Supegirl this season is What does it mean to be humna?", Kreisberg says, stressing that Supergirl needed to shake things up with the choices of big bad. "I'm not only competing with myself on Supergirl, but I'm competing with with myself on all the other shows that I've done, and by that I mean I don't want to repeat what I've done on Supergirl, nor do I want to repeat what I've done on Arrow and Flash."

Oh please don't repeat what you did on Arrow, I can't stand another I'm done being a hero at one end and deciding to come back in another. Three seasons of that gets pretty tiresome.

Kreisberg contuines, Usually on these shows, you either meet the big bad at the end of episode one or you meet them at episode seven or nine, and you realize that they've been pulling the strings the whole time, and were out there working with their multi-year plan to take down the heroes or destroy the city. When we were figuring out Reign, one thin we've never really seen on any of these shows is we've never seen the big bad become the big bad."

It seems that we're in for a hell of a season. So ge ready for it when Supergirl premieres on Monday, October 9th at 8/7c on The CW.

New DC TV "Super Season" Trailer

Is Cat Grant the White House Press Secretary?

A new promo for the TE CW superhero four pack shows: Supergirl, The Flash, Arrow and DC's Legends of Tomorrow is making the rounds online with a nice settling trailer that doesn't show a whole lot of jaw-dropping moments but just enough to get us over the next month til it's premiere week, October 9th.

There's one moment that shows Cat Grant, played by Calista Flockhart, appearing as the White House Press Secretary. For Grant to be in this position, it might not that be that surprising since she is best friends with the Preisdent of the United States of America (played by no other than Lynda Carter). IF that is the case, she'll be a lot better Press Secretary than the others we've seen in the last eight months.

Here's the trailer:

The new season of Supegirl, The Flash, Arrow and DC's Legends of Tomorrow begins the week of October 9th on The CW.
