Team Supergirl finally takes on Leviathan in an epic, season-ending battle as Lex Luthor (Jon Cryer) schemes and plays both sides. In all, it's about the best version of how we could expect this season to end. With Leviathan having seized the DEO's supply of kryptonite (and destroying the DEO, so good riddance?) the team […]
The CW's Supergirl heads back to our screens this Sunday night, and there are two special reasons to watch this episode (though we're thinking you probably don't need much convincing to tune in). First, series star Melissa Benoist is at the helm, taking the director's chair for "Deus Lex Machina." Our second reason was spoiled […]
The CW's Supergirl is back next Sunday night, May 3, with the Melissa Benoist-directed episode "Deus Lex Machina" (pushed back from its original April 26 air date), which finds Jon Cryer's Lex Luthor taking center stage in two different timelines. In the "now," Lex keeps the wheels turning as he works his way back into […]
The CW's Supergirl is just one of the dozens of series that found themselves in production limbo over the growing coronavirus pandemic. While it's scheduled to return on Sunday, May 3, with the Melissa Benoist-directed "Deus Lex Machina" (pushed back from its original April 26 air date), it's the season finale that's becoming a topic […]
The CW's Supergirl needed to take a little time off after Alex's (Chyler Leigh) virtual adventure last episode nearly led to see very real-world disasters. Understandable, all things considered. But on Sunday, April 26, Clark Kent's cousin not only returns, but her real-world counterpart Melissa Benoist is also taking a trip behind the camera for […]
As Supergirl (Melissa Benoist) protects Andrea Rojas (Julie Gonzalo) from an alien threat during the launch of her new virtual reality product, the show continues its weird anti-tech message while delivering a sort of ho-hum episode. All of the truly interesting things are happening in the B-storyling, where Lena (Katie McGrath) begins human trials on […]
Now that the dust has settled from "Crisis on Infinite Earths" – and The CW's Arrowverse is a bit more "cozier" because of it – the changes are starting to be felt across all of our shows. Arrow is ending its run after eight seasons – only to become Green Arrow and the Canaries; while […]
After a year of teasing, clues, and buildup, the "Crisis" is here. Our first episode takes place in Supergirl's continuity, technically the 9th episode in her 5th season. Most of it also takes place on Earth-38, Supergirl's (Melissa Benoist) home. After gathering most of our heroes, Lyla (Audrey Marie Anderson) aka Harbinger announces this is […]
After the fallout from last week's confrontation with Lena, Supergirl (Melissa Benoist) has to head off two crises at once. . . and all that's before getting to our tease of "Crisis on Infinite Earths". Oh yes, there will be Luthors. Yup, plural. It's "Crisis" time. Buckle your seatbelts. Our first plotline involves Lena's (Katie […]
We're T-minus two weeks from the start of the new seasons in The CW's Arrowverse, and as we get closer and closer to the "Crisis on Infinite Earths" crossover mayhem this December, it's time to break out ye olde prognostication stick and "divine" for you exactly what will happen. To be clear, these aren't spoilers. […]
Now that we're well past the mid-summer point otherwise known as July 4th, now's about as good a time as any to start thinking about the return of the CW's "Arrowverse" shows. With Arrow shuffling off the network's programming coil after an abbreviated eighth season (making The Flash the "elder states-show" of the "Arrowverse"), Ruby […]
So that explains the Monitor image LaMonica Garrett tweeted out on Friday! If you caught Sunday night's fourth season finale of Supergirl "The Quest for Peace," then you know the CW is now three-for-three when it comes to season-ending cliffhangers that lead directly into this year's "Arrowverse" mega-crossover event "Crisis on Infinite Earths" (more details […]
The CW's season 4 finale of Supergirl "The Quest for Peace" did not disappoint, bringing tons of storylines and character arcs to a satisfying conclusion. Not only that, its last few minutes tease multiple characters and potential stories for the fifth season… and the looming "Crisis." Lex Luthor looms large this episode, as does Lena. […]
Remember what we were saying earlier about the season 4 finale of CW's Supergirl "The Quest for Peace"? That Kara's running out of options because Lex (Jon Cryer) continues playing three-dimensional chess in their checkers world? Well, we need to personally thank the CW for making our point for us – as you're about to […]
Perhaps the biggest news heading into this week's season 4 finale of the CW's Supergirl "The Quest for Peace" took place away from the camera. At last week's 2019 May Upfronts, the network announced that Greg Berlanti-produced, Ruby Rose-starrer Batwoman will join Melissa Benoist and "Team Kara" on Sunday nights starting this fall. With the […]
As we fly head-first into season four's penultimate episode of the CW's Supergirl "Red Dawn," it looks like we're getting the smackdown we've been anxiously awaiting at least half the season for: Kara (Melissa Benoist) vs. Lex Luthor's (Jon Cryer) Red Daughter. Meanwhile, Alex (Chyler Leigh) realizes that there are some serious gaps in her […]
An emotional powerhouse in our antepenultimate episode of the CW's Supergirl for the fourth season, as Kara (Melissa Benoist) and Lena (Katie McGrath) finally get to the bottom of Lex's plans for the Red Daughter, Ben Lockwood's (Sam Witwer) world starts to collapse around him, and Alex (Chyler Leigh) faces a life-altering choice. As the […]
Last week's episode of CW's Supergirl (make sure to check out Bleeding Cool television writer Andy Wilson's review of "American Dreamer" here) put the pieces in place for a season-ending run that that's destined to leave Kara (Melissa Benoist) and the rest of the team changed dramatically heading into the post-season break – and that's […]
The Woman of Steel returns Sunday, April 21, as the CW brings Supergirl roaring back in the new episode "Crime and Punishment" – and in the wake of Red Daughter's attack on The White House, Kara (Melissa Benoist) is now Public Enemy Number 1 with a huge target on her back. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DxFYINL8fpM Supergirl season 4, […]
It's been a really strange 48 hours… Who knew a weekend-focused opinion article deigning to rank our favorite Lex Luthors of the TV and film multiverses would cause such… appreciation??? Okay, I kinda' did – but suddenly we had not one… not two… but three Lexes weighing in on the debate (Michael Rosenbaum, Jon Cryer, […]
