Though The CW's DC's Legends of Tomorrow bid farewell to Brandon Routh and Courtney Ford at the end of "Romeo v Juliet: Dawn of Justness," we're not sure you ever really leave the Arrowverse family. That feeling's even stronger during times like these, with the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic forcing people to self-isolate and social-distance – […]

The CW's Supergirl shifts its focus this week from Kara to Alex (Chyler Leigh) as she enters the Obsidian North virtual world looking for escape. Instead she finds herself unwilling/unable to leave after getting overtaken by the fantasy of living as Supergirl. For a season that has set the idea of escaping into a virtual […]

The CW's Supergirl did a very strange thing this week – it killed off a character in the lamest way imaginable. Jeremiah Danvers was the father of Alex Danvers (Chyler Leigh) and Kara Danvers (Melissa Benoist). He was played by Dean Cain, who played Clark Kent in Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman back […]

The CW's Batwoman goes dark and heavy as we deal with the fallout from last week's episode where Kate (Ruby Rose) accidentally killed Jonathan Cartwright, Alice's (Rachel Skarsten) kidnapper and torturer. We literally open on the two of them, along with Daddy Kane (Dougray Scott) burying Cartwright under an overpass in some forgotten corner of […]

The CW's Supergirl is back this week with "Alex in Wonderland", with Alex (Chyler Leigh) clearly looking for some time away from her life to process  everything she's been hit with lately. So what better way than getting lost in a virtual reality world where you get to leap tall buildings in a single bound? […]

As The Flash/Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) once again faces off against his greatest enemy, Eobard Thawne/The Reverse Flash (Tom Cavanagh), we get an episode filled with flashbacks, swashbuckling adventure, and. . . superhero fitbits? It all works, even though it feels like, despite all the fireworks, the show is a little bit running in place. […]

This week, The CW's Supergirl was really all about Dreamer/Nia Nal (Nicole Maines), a welcome change of pace since Nia has been MIA for most of the post-"Crisis" episodes. Someone is targeting the trans community in an attempt to bully Dreamer into quitting being a superhero, and she ends up putting herself in danger to […]

Over the past few weeks, The CW and DC Universe have done a great job of giving viewers some of the backstory built into Stargirl – smart move considering the show's Monday, May 11 (airing Tuesday, May 12, on The CW) premiere date will be here before we know it. Up until now, we've gotten a […]

With only hours to go before The CW's The Flash comes racing back to our screens, viewers are getting their eyeballs on a new preview for this week's "The Exorcism of Nash Wells". Speaking of Nash Wells (Tom Cavanagh)… it looks like "Thawn-in-Nash's-Body" could be Barry's (Grant Gustin) answer to the dying Speed Force. I […]

The CW's DC's Legends of Tomorrow are heading into an episode that's trying to sell itself as being "just another bizarre adventure in history" outing – but we all know what it's hiding behind its back: "The Feels". That's because this is the episode where Ray (Brandon Routh) and Nora (Courtney Ford) say their goodbyes […]

In our preview for The Flash, we stood up for Barry (Grant Gustin) and how hard he's had it post-"Crisis" – and we could easily do the same for DC's Legends of Tomorrow. While everyone else had the chance to stretch and have a nice meal before the Arrowverse mega-crossover – our Legends? They had […]

Remember when we went to bat a few weeks ago for Barry (Grant Gustin) aka The Flash? We don't take it back: post-"Crisis", the dude's had serious waves of tragic, deadly stuff thrown his way and deserves a break. Sorry, Barry. Not sure if we cursed him even more, but since then? He's had to […]

Two days before production on The CW's Batwoman was shut down over coronavirus pandemic concerns, production assistant Amanda Smith was injured while filming the Warner Bros. TV series in Vancouver. Smith was left paralyzed from the waist down, with serious spinal injuries, including burst vertebrae. "A valued member of the Batwoman production team was recently […]

The CW's Supergirl is back this week with "Reality Bytes", with the spotlight squarely on Nicole Maines' Nia aka Dreamer after Kara aka Supergirl (Melissa Benoist) takes a night off from doing all of that "saving the planet" stuff – and a well-deserved break, at that! Now, if there was any doubt that she's more […]

The CW's Batwoman is part of the network's seamless promotional machine that posts previews like clockwork (though they might want to consider keeping their episode trailers on YouTube instead of pulling them) – and they're righton time with a new preview for"Off With Her Head". In the following clip (followed by the episode promo and […]

One thing that's impressed us the most about The CW's Arrowverse is its willingness to use their superhero platform to tackle some very important issues – and this week's Supergirl looks to be another example of that. Nicole Maines' Nia aka Dreamer takes center stage as Kara aka Supergirl (Melissa Benoist) looks to take a […]

Nothing like a twisted, creepy, and effective episode of The CW's Batwoman to distract our brains from the endless speculation it's been processing since Marc Guggenheim tweeted the first words about the next Arrowverse crossover. Now, before you start accusing me of making a blatant plug for something you could out a lot more about […]

The CW and DC Universe's upcoming live-action Stargirl series takes to the streaming service's skies starting Monday, May 11 (airing Tuesday, May 12, on The CW at 9 p.m. – moving to 8 p.m. beginning Tuesday, May 26) – and when she does,  Brec Bassinger's Courtney Whitmore life is going to change forever. No, we're […]

With two months to go before The CW and DC Universe's upcoming live-action Stargirl series takes to the streaming service on Monday, May 11 (airing Tuesday, May 12, on The CW at 9 p.m. – moving to 8 p.m. beginning Tuesday, May 26), viewers are getting a fresh look at Brec Bassinger's Courtney Whitmore aka Stargirl. […]

If you're a fan of The CW's Arrowverse, then you know 2020-2021 is a time of some serious change for the stable of shows. Arrow has left the airwaves, leaving The Flash as senior show. Add into that mix Supergirl, Black Lightning, DC's Legends of Tomorrow, Batwoman, and the DC Universe-shared Stargirl. Superman & Lois […]
