While mainstream comic books largely focus on exciting stories of good versus evil, over the decades comics have also given us a host of truly iconic romantic couples. From the pulps of the 1920s to the manga of today, comic books have featured inspiring – and sometimes tragic – tales of heroes – and even villains – in love. So for our 2025 Valentine's Day special, the Great Pop Culture Debate is pulling out the longboxes and diving into comic-book history as we discuss the Best Comic-Book Couples of all time. Couples discussed: Gambit & Rogue, The Flash (Barry Allen) & Iris West, Cyclops & Emma Frost, Cyclops & Jean Grey, Scarlet Witch & Vision, Hulkling & Wiccan, Black Bolt & Medusa, Batgirl & Nightwing, Batman & Catwoman, Spider-Man (Peter Parker) & Mary Jane Watson, Superman & Lois Lane, Green Arrow & Black Canary, Harley Quinn & Poison Ivy, Invisible Woman & Mr. Fantastic, Alana & Marko, Apollo & Midnighter. Join host Eric Rezsnyak, GPCD panelist Brendan Hay, and special guest panelists Brad Gullickson and Lisa Gullickson from the Comic Book Couples Counseling podcast as they discuss 16 of the most legendary lovers in comics.

We take our first look at a Flash-affiliated character with Barry Allen's nemesis EOBARD THAWNE! Things go off the rails pretty quickly, but it's ok, because we can just jump to another timeline where everything is fine, and no one will be any the wiser - except for Eobard... Intro Background (2:05) Eobard Thawne, aka Professor Zoom or the Reverse Flash, created by John Broome and Carmine Infantino in The Flash #139 (Sept. 1963) Eobard Thawne is a scientist from the 25th century, where superheroes are few He becomes obsessed with learning about the Speed Force, but he initially encounters some obstacles until his future self intervenes several times: He was jealous of his younger brother growing up, until his future self prevented Robern from being born and then his future self caused the death of his parents, since they were worried about his obsession He kills another professor who is close to unlocking the secrets of the Speed Force After Eobard falls in love with a reporter, his future self kills her fiance and any man she ever dated - when she still rejected him, his future self went back to her childhood and traumatized her to the point of rendering her mute He becomes obsessed with Barry Allen, to the point of getting cosmetic surgery to resemble him Obtains a Cosmic Treadmill, a copy of the Flash's costume, and replicates the accident to give himself Flash's powers - he traveled back to a few years after Barry's death, and learned that he would become Professor Zoom, the Reverse-Flash, and Barry's greatest nemesis This caused a psychic break, and Thawne became convinced he *was* a resurrected Barry Allen, and even managed to convince several of Barry's friends he was Barry - after attacking several heroes for “forgetting” him, Wally West tricked him into returning to his home time Thawne became obsessed with replacing Barry, to the point of killing Iris West, and when he attacked Fiona Webb, Barry broke his neck and killed him Flash: Rebirth reveals that Thawne is responsible for every tragedy in Barry's life, including the death of his mother - after killing several speedsters, he announces his connection to the Negative Speed Force, and says he will kill Iris before Barry has a chance to meet her - as Barry and Wally travel backwards in time, they merge into the lightning bolt that originally gave Barry his powers #BecauseComics - Thawne is imprisoned in a device that severs his connection to the Speed Force, removing his powers The broken neck version was resurrected during Blackest Night and then purified by a white light  Thawne is the central villain of Flashpoint - when Barry travels back to prevent Thawne from killing Nora West, the resulting timeline is drastically different - Thawne is then killed by the new Batman, and Barry goes back to prevent himself from stopping her murder, which creates a new third timeline Rebirth revises his origin - he's met in the 25th century by Barry, who prevents him from carrying out further crimes - he is temporarily rehabilitated, until he travels to the past and learns Barry didn't consider him as much of a friend as he initially thought, so he vows to make Barry miserable until Barry “makes time” for him He's one of the primary villains of the Button, where he has memories of every timeline, and uses this knowledge to torture Barry, Bruce Wayne, and heroes, until he's killed by Dr. Manhattan, although he's resurrected by the negative Speed Force once again Finish Line - Thawne vibrates into Barry, taking over his mind and trapping Barry in the Speed Force - Thawne says he and Barry will forever be trapped in a loop, until Barry forgives him - this confuses Thawne, and Barry is able to reset him in the 25th century, where he is a tour guide at the Flash Museum with no memory of being a villain Issues - “Eobard Thawne. The man who reads the Evil Overlord List and reacts with an oblivious bemusement. The man with an absolute pathological need to prove himself superior to everyone around him to the point where even other villains hate his guts. Thawne has spent the last 60 years elevating the concept of the Villain Ball to an almost comical extent, and is fortunately so ridiculously chatty and forthcoming about himself and his feelings that we can easily mine a ton of his many issues from it to figure out why.” (15:56) Absolute obsession with and desire to replace The Flash. Thawne comes from a time when superheroes are thought of as a quaint anachronism, and striving to be one would be like someone today saying their dream was to be a medieval knight. But he idolized the era and The Flash in particular enough to become obsessed with becoming him. After recreating the accident that gave The Flash his super speed and traveling back in time to meet his hero, he found out that his destiny was instead to become The Flash's greatest enemy, and it simply broke him inside. From then on, his entire reason for being became wrapped around inserting himself into Barry's life, alternating between trying to ruin it and trying to usurp it. He tried getting Barry's wife to fall in love with him, tried to take Barry's place in the original accident and become the original Flash, and ultimately settled on using his time travel ability to become the source of every bad thing that ever happened in Barry's life. It's not an exaggeration to say that Thawne does not have or want a life of his own; he actually does want Barry's for himself. Superiority complex. When you think about Eobard Thawne is actually capable of doing, it's a real wonder why he ever fails at anything at all. The man can move at many times the speed of light. He can cross the room and shred your heart before your eyes can even send the signal to your brain that it's happening. He can kill a room full of a hundred people in a hundred different ways before any of them could react. All of which pales in comparison to his mastery of time travel. If anyone or anything is an obstacle to his objectives or even so much as affronts his sight, he can go back in time and completely erase it from existence. That's an actual thing he does with regularity. There is quite literally no goal on any scale he could not achieve with his powers. But that's simply not enough for him. At the moment of every single one of his triumphs, he has to let everyone in earshot know that it was him who did it. He grandstands and gloats about his success, explaining in great detail everything he did, how he did it, and how powerless everyone is to stop him from keeping on doing whatever he wants. Invariably, this winds up with the heroes either having the time to make their move or having the exact information they need to stop him. Thawne didn't invent Evil Monologuing by any stretch, but he's perfected it to an art form. It's a pathology with this man. He has to have you acknowledge his greatness, or he doesn't consider it a victory. There is no limit to what he could achieve if he just didn't care about getting the credit for it. (22:18) Pettiness on a scale hitherto undreamt of. To paraphrase Billy Beane in Moneyball, there's petty, there's that which petty aspires to be, there's fifty additional magnitudes of petty that the English language doesn't have words for, and then there's Thawne. The man responds to personal slights as if they were absolute declarations of war. He has completely erased his younger brother from existence because he thought his parents loved him more. He got a crush on a woman and erased her husband and all of her ex-boyfriends from existence so she'd have no reason not to date him, then when she still rejected him, he traveled back in time and repeatedly traumatized her as a child to the point where she wound up in a permanent vegetative state for the rest of her life. He found a limiting factor on his time travel that he couldn't kill Barry Allen or do anything that prevents him from becoming The Flash, so instead he settled on simply becoming the direct cause of every bad thing that's ever happened in his life, including things so minor as making him late for class in school and making him miss a catch in a baseball game. He's done this with villains who annoy him as well; Hunter Zolomon owes the entire line of tragedies that led to him becoming Professor Zoom to Thawne traveling through time and causing them. There is no slight so trivial that Thawne won't respond to it with the most disproportionate retribution he can imagine. (28:28) Dozens and dozens of lifetimes worth of memories. Thawne's use of the Negative Speed Force gives him a form of superceding time travel. He can alter history and retain the memories of his life and the world exactly as it was before he changed it. Unfortunately, he has time traveled and altered history so many times and so drastically that his memories now consist of dozens of lifetimes all folded into themselves. He remembers every version of himself in every timeline he's ever existed in, and every version of every other important person in his life and how their histories have changed as well. It all just blends together for him in a way that makes absolutely no linear sense trying to keep it all straight. That has to be absolutely maddening; like a Mandela Effect, but for your entire life, and multiplied by every single time he changes the timeline. No one else remembers anything in the same way that he does, and there's absolutely no way he can convince anyone about the way things used to be.

Hmm…you seem out of breath - *heavy breathing* It took a lot for me to get here. But I can't ignore a slight like that. As you know, a doctor should only address a colleague with a title the equivalent to their own. You can't be serio…ow! What was that? -The skin of the areola is incredibly sensitive to certain angular forces. Your nerve endings are actually a bit different based on your scream. Most people have a heightened reaction from the pain itself, but for you, the mere sensation of unexpected touch and pressure were too much for you. *yawn* But as all plebians before you, your nervous system stood no chance in keeping up with my abilities. And that, my dear doctor, was only a sample of what I am capable of. *pause* You just gave a soliloquy on a purple nurple? -I had to demonstrate that you are not superior to me in any aspect of existence. Ok -*pause* That's it? Just, “OK?” You don't protest? Where's the fear? Where's the awe? Anger? Something besides “Ok”? Okaaaaay…Professor? -That's better…wait, still no emotion behind it. What is wrong with you? Do I have to phase through you and shatter your spleen? Needlessly graphic but no…*sigh* Look, I'm not superpowered, you're not controllable, so I'm a sitting duck just for agreeing to meet with you, no matter what safeguards I may have thought of. -That was very naive of you. I'd be insulted if I didn't already feel insulted about the fact that some version of me that I talked with at some point in the future thought this was a good idea. What will I be thinking? Um…was thinking. You get the point. Sure. So, what can I do for you? -There's someone I know that I used to idolize. Now I hate him. He killed me, but I came back. Now I can't destroy him because I want to exist, but I want to ruin every part of his life. You know, “as you do” Are you expecting me to empathize with that? OOOOF; what did you do now? -Matter has multiple phases. Most people will only experience the most basic solid, liquid, and gas. But, as a scientist at heart, I'm sure you're aware of plasma. Under typical Earth conditions, you would only be able to withstand a nanoparticle of any element in a picosecond of time as it sublimates from a liquid format and dissipates instantaneously in some form of biological substrate in an elongated but small cavernous bony structure with a malleable yet firm membrane *Interrupting* You spit in my ear?! What are you, 12?! - Superspeed saliva, sir! It's your privilege. The fact that your head did not disintegrate is only because I can control my mouth and tongue with exquisite precision. You could kill me at any moment, and you torture me with pranks? What's the point? -I've given you a glimpse of my power. Now imagine that for every moment of your life. To know that at any point, I can cause you immeasurable suffering and pain with the slightest show of effort on my part. THAT is what I live for.  So you can be the most influential being for every person's life who ever existed, and you choose to make it miserable? Not exactly a way to win friends. -But you're wrong. I've created factions of allies that bring dimensions to their proverbial knees! Until you, what, give them a thermonuclear wedgie? That's what the history books will say. Eobard Thawne, the person who created a black hole constructed out of his own spite and misery. -You do realize that with what you're proposing, there would BE no history books, because I would have wiped out recorded history by definition of Do you have an off switch for that? -My genius? No, unfortunately for you, I don't. Then why don't you find someone else to bounce your evil plans off of? I'm too ethical to help you make things worse for yourself. -*pause* Come again? Ever heard of mimetic thinking? It's the idea that an individual's goals in life are constantly shaped by the goals they've observed set by others. We're unique in our existence, but not in our shared outcomes. You already determined one failpoint, whoever you were talking about -Barry. His name's Barry *dismissive for once* whatever. The point is, you must have gotten this idea, somewhere, from someone, that destroying everything is a positive. But the lack of anything is sure to be a negative when there's nothing left. Will you just do it again? Are you so unoriginal that you just want to run a time loop hamster wheel? -You are NOT getting away with comparing me to a hamster on a wheel, just because I use a treadmill to guide the fate of the universe!  I didn't even…uh…wow. That's um…that's a…thing, I guess -You don't even know your own argument. You're bluffing! This is beyond trivial. Hey, you said that at some point, YOU told yourself that talking to me was a good idea. I have no inkling WHY, because you're the self proclaimed genius with the speed to do it all whenever you want, and you make yourself trivial in the process. I don't think you're capable of relating anymore. At least not with someone like me. Go find my evil doppleganger or something in another dimension, I don't know. -*evil laugh* YES! You stupid, foolish brilliant doctor! That makes sense. There must be a negative version of you.I just have to find him. He will unlock the last mysteries of my negative speedforce forever! But I needed you to tell me that.  Wait! I *zoom sound, door shut* I guess I should be glad he took the “evil dimensional twin” comment and not the nuclear wedgie one. *more zooming, then door knocking* Um, come in. -*heavy breathing* Hello Mr. Thawne, I'm Dr. Issues. Hmm…you seem out of breath - *heavy breathing* It took a lot for me to get here. But  *interrupting* It's still me, Eobard. I think you've got yourself stuck somehow. -*pause* How…I know this is Barry somehow. It has to be. It's his ultimate prank on me. He's getting me back! I'm forced to listen to an incompetent shrink until I find a way out! Hey!…or…ORRRRR…you could try doing some positive coping activities that open your mind so that you end up with a sense of gratitude for what you have, which will lead to better things in the future. Huh/ Huuuuuh? You ever think of that? You're stuck with me until you get it right anyway. -Oh for the love of…how about if I shortcut this whole thing to the end and tell myself that you are worth talking to so we can all get along and I can move on to wrecking Barry's life again. Deal?  Isn't that just -Don't care, I'm doing it.

Barry Allen is at the height of his powers and fame, firmly ensconced as Central City's favorite hero – but when being The Flash forces him to let Iris down one time too many, she decides to call it quits. Undeterred, Barry figures he can use the speed force to go back in time and set things right. But something goes wrong, Barry tumbles into a new dimension, finding himself in a small bedroom with Captain Cold, his powers gone. Cold tells Barry that he's an unwitting participant in a televised tournament, THE MIDNIGHT CIRCUS, which pits humans, superheroes and rogues against one another in life-or-death games of chance. Survive the competition and Barry earns his freedom, recreate the conditions of his original transformation, and return to his own timeline. But to do so, he'll have to rely solely on his wits. And if that wasn't hard enough, he soon finds himself facing his toughest opponent yet: Iris West.

Happy Black History Month, mates! To celebrate, we're watching Rick Famuyiwa's underrated gem Dope. Dope is a hilarious modern coming-of-age tale filled to the brim with heart, 90's nostalgia, and an amazingly talented cast (Shameik Moore, Kiersey Clemens, Tony Revolori, Zoë Kravitz, and more) who have all gone on to have great careers. By that, I mean they're all in superhero movies now. But hey, where else can you see Spider-Man, Catwoman, Flash Thompson, Iris West, and A$AP Rocky share the big screen?   Follow us on Instagram: @movienightmates Follow us on Twitter: @movienightm8s Subscribe to our YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEIgHirQmwoK4EW1DRwyRRA   Watch Dope here: YouTube Apple TV/iTunes Amazon Prime Google Play Vudu   Theme: Hope is Not Lost (https://freemusicarchive.org/music/jim-hall/synth-kid-elsewhere/hope-is-not-lost) by Jim Hall (https://freemusicarchive.org/music/jim-hall).

Welcome back to Maid of Steel - post Supergirl!!  We're talking about The Flash!!  No, we haven't jumped shows or heroes, we're back to discuss the first five episodes of The Flash Season 8 - "Armageddon."  Why, you ask?  So glad you did!  Armageddon involves a kind of crossover event within the Arrowverse that includes many of our favorite heroes and villains.  Among those is our very own Alex Danvers / The Sentinel!  So, let's run down the plot summaries of the five episodes and summarize the Alex aspect of things, shall we?  Yes, we shall! Part 1: When a powerful alien threat arrives on Earth under mysterious circumstances, Barry, Iris and the rest of the team are pushed to their limits in a desperate battle to save the world. Part 2: Despero warns The Flash that great tragedies will lead to Armageddon; Barry doubles down on proving his innocence, but a devastating revelation pushes him to seek counsel from Black Lightning. Part 3: Barry meets Black Lightning at the Hall of Justice after things take a dire turn with Despero; Iris suspects something is off with Despero's vision of the future so she seeks help from a powerful ally. Part 4: Barry is shocked when Eobard Thawne returns in the most unexpected way, and with a tie to a loved one. Damien Darhk offers advice to Barry but there is a catch. An epic battle begins with The Reverse-Flash against The Flash and Team Flash. Part 5: Barry must decide whether to let his greatest enemy die, or save his life. As for Alex and The Sentinel, she is consulted when Team Flash interacts with Despero to find out anything the DEO knows about Despero's species, which is not much.  We then catch up with Alex at the celebration event on the impending nuptials of Eobard Thawne and Iris West.  When Barry Allen shows up on the scene (as Reverse Flash) everyone goes into battle mode, including the Sentinel.  Alex stays to hang with Team Flash to understand why Barry is here and what kind of trouble he might be trying to cause and takes it upon herself to try to navigate the potential relationship between two members of Team Flash, Allegra and Chester.  She is successful in bringing the two together with the help of the Paragon of Humanity - Ryan Choi.  And, that's about it.  When Eobard is discovered to have created a Reverse Flashpoint most of everything in Parts 2-4 of this event are...negated.  Gotta love the time shenanigans on The Flash!! Summary:  This Armageddon event was highly advertised with amazing visuals and the potential for some very cool crossovers but ultimately was uneven in its story telling and the heightened expectations fell short.  As we mention in the podcast, this is sooooooooooooooo much better than what The Flash Season 7 delivered so we'll see what the rest of the Season delivers beginning in March of 2022!

March Movie Madness Part 2 (of 3). Welp. It's here. We watched it. Is it better than the theatrical version? How did it get here? Did we like it? Tune in for all these answers, plus a lot of swearing. Also! Come back in a couple of weeks for our final "March" movie episode!  Have questions/comments/concerns? Shoot us an email: tencenttakes@gmail.com ----more---- Episode Transcript Mike: Ancient Lamentation is my new favorite type of music. Jessika: Warning: this is a spoiler full episode, discussing Zack Snyder's newly released Cut of DC's Justice League. If you haven't already seen this film and don't want to be completely spoiled, we'd recommend you check that out before joining us. You can't say we didn't warn you. Mike: Hello. This is Ten Cent Takes, the podcast where we ruin your favorite fandoms one issue at a time. My name is Mike Thompson. I am joined by my cohost of chaos, Jessika Frazier. Jessika: Hey, Mike. No I'm. That was hysterical. I did. Yeah, I know. Did you see my face? I was like, okay, don't breathe in too heavily. You're being recorded.  Mike: Yeah. Everything is forever on a podcast. If you're joining us for the first time, the purpose of this podcast is to talk about comic books and the things that connect to them in ways that are fun and informative. We want to look at the coolest, weirdest and silliest moments as well as examine how they are woven into the larger fabric of pop culture and history. Today, we are going to continue our run of March movie madness and talk about. Dun dun duh, the Snyder Cut, which just dropped a few days ago. Before we get to that topic though: Jess, what is one cool thing that you've read or watched recently?  Jessika: I grabbed some original print used comics from an absolute time capsule of an estate sale. I went to recently -masked of course- I hope everyone is staying safe. We are still mid- pandemic. So I didn't even look at the comics prior to purchasing them. But ooh boy, I found some treasures and we will talk about a couple of them later in a, probably a couple of upcoming episodes. But the one I looked through this week was an issue of Archie and friends from 1975. And this one just has this awful one- pager that it took me a really long time to get what it meant. I'm going to send it to you.  Mike: Okay.  Jessika: And then I'll tell you why I didn't understand it at first.  Mike: W- what?  Jessika: That was my reaction.  Mike: Huh? Okay. Should I describe this?  Jessika: Yeah, absolutely. Please. I've given you the worst thing.  Mike: This is a, a one-page comic call called little jinx, you know, L I apostrophe L jinx with an X and then "Weak End" as in W-E-A-K as in not strong end. So it's this little blonde girl in floral print bell-bottoms running up to her dad who is apparently painting a cupboard or something in the garage. And she says, "daddy, it hurts when I swallow." And the dad -who I guess is a relative of Archie based on his hair color and style- he says, come on little jinx," we'll get, we'll let our doctor look at it." And she goes, "er... Do I have to?" "Don't you want him to fix up your sore throat? "And then she says, "sure. But when he fixes this end" and she points at her throat, she then is like gesturing at her butt in the final panel. And she goes, "I have trouble with my other end when I sit down," which raises so many questions. Why namely, why would you take your child to the proctologist for a sore throat?  Jessika: I don't think that, yeah, well that too. I, you know, and I was trying to figure out, okay, wait, first of all, I'll get around. What's funny. It's probably not funny to us in this modern day. Um, and then I realized, Oh, wait, it's casual child abuse abuse. So it's it really, isn't funny because she's saying basically when she's able to talk, she says things that displeases her dad, which causes her. Uh, to be physically abused by him. So I just, you know, this has caused me to think, wow, I keep getting really upset at these old comics.  Mike: I interpreted it in a way that I think is arguably worse, which is that when she goes to the doctors, she gets the rectal thermometer, which is, I think still a thing back then. Jessika: Yeah. I think you're probably right about that too. So I don't know if it's both.  Mike: I don't, I don't know. I, it could, it could be either. It could be both.  Jessika: It's a million times awful either way.  Mike: It's terrible. I hate it. Thanks. I hate it.  Jessika: You're welcome. I had to see it. So, so did you, God, what about you?  Mike: Mine's a little less traumatizing. A couple of months ago. A friend of mine from college reached out to me.  He revealed that he was getting rid of stuff that free up some storage space. And so he sent me down a couple of boxes of comics from, you know, the eighties and early nineties. So I've been going through those and I came across the miniseries from Marvel GI Joe and Transformers. So it is a cross up of two of my favorite franchises. And it has the two most popular characters on the cover. It's got Snake Eyes and Bumblebee and the cover itself is kind of traumatizing. It's it's got Bumblebee getting blown apart by the GI Joes. So yeah, it's very much an eighties comic. It's a lot of fun though. And it feels like I'm a little kid again, mashing up my favorite action figures to have an adventure with my friends on a Saturday afternoon. So yeah.  Jessika: Well that's cool. Everybody wanted to see Transformers: Soldiers in Disguise, so...  Mike: Oh, that's so good. All right. You ready to do this?  Jessika: Oh, let's turn this page. Flip a table while we're at it.  Mike: Before we actually start talking about the Snyder Cut. I think we need to take a couple of minutes and talk about how we actually got to this point. Let's start at the beginning. How familiar with Zack Snyder and by extension his work in the DC universe are you?  Jessika: I mean peripherally, honestly, every time I hear "oh yeah, that was a Zack Snyder," I'm like, Oh, that makes sense. Yeah, that makes sense. But I don't, I don't know, like I wouldn't be able to point to any of his movies and be like, "those are classic Snyder, man."  Mike: Okay. Zack Snyder is pretty much synonymous with the DC Extended Universe at this point. And it's largely because he directed the first two movies, Man of Steel and Batman Versus Superman. Before that he was originally doing music videos and commercials. He wound up hitting a home run when he directed the 2004 version of Dawn of the Dead, which is still I think his best- reviewed movie. You know, and he's done adaptations of things like Watchman and 300, which is again, another, it was another big success for him. And then he did Man of Steel and Batman v Superman. And those movies are pretty divisive. And in fact, I would say that they're incredibly divisive. Everyone agrees that they're good looking movies. They're really beautiful. They're, you know, they're gorgeously shot, they've got amazing special effects, but they're really divisive amongst the fans and have you seen these? Jessika:  I've seen some of them and, I would... I'm gonna admit. I am more of a Marvel fan girl than I am DC for some, for some reasons, not that I'm opposed to seeing DC films, but I don't see them with as much enthusiasm. Let's just call it as I do Marvel films typically.  Mike: So which, which of the DC extended universe have you seen?  Jessika: I just recently had a whole, I've gone down a rabbit hole. I, so I've...  Mike: Yeah. You, you did your homework out of this. I think you've seen more than I have at this point. Jessika:  I recently watched Aquaman just because my brother and I wanted to watch it and I was like, okay, present this movie anyway. So might as well check it out. Mamoa is up. Then I watched... I was thinking, Oh, I'll just jump into Justice League. But then I realized I hadn't seen Batman Versus Superman, and I didn't realize how those correlated, like I didn't realize it was like, it was a one into another situation. And so my brother and I started watching it, I was looking down at my phone and the newspaper with "Superman is dead!" floats across the screen. And my brother turns it off and he's like, "wait a second. Have you seen...?"  And I was like, "shit, here we go." Because I'd been avoiding seeing that film just for the reason that I had been told "maybe, maybe skip that one" by multiple parties, which in the end I would have to agree except for the plot line tie-ins.  Mike: Right. What was your big complaint about Batman Versus Superman?  Jessika: The whole thing was just ridiculous. Honestly, the plot for me, it just, I had moral issues with a lot of the characters to start off with. Ben Affleck. I love Ben Affleck as Batman. Ben Affleck is a great Batman. I actually really like him as Batman. I do not like the writing choice to make him branding people.  Mike: Oh, that was a whole thing. That was fucking gross.  Jessika: I did not, I did not enjoy that at all. And having conversations with people, it frustrated me even more because they didn't see some of the people I was talking to. You didn't see any moral issues with that because quote unquote, they were bad guys anyway, kind of a vibe. And I was like, no, no, no, no, we don't let one person decide who's going to be the arresting officer, the judge, the jury and the execution, or that's, that's not the way this works. And there's a lot of implications for, you know, innocent. People being killed. And I mean, it, it, it is a really good allegory for our own justice system. Like a really intense version of it.  It bothered me so much that it wasn't done in a way that made people more negatively reactive to it, I would say.  Mike: The good news is that I think more people didn't like it, than you would assume based on the internet. I mean, first of all, like so many people that I know have huge problems with the DC Extended Universe and primarily to tone set by both Man of Steel and Batman Versus Superman, because they're so grim. In Man of Steel, you have a fairly joyless story, and then at the very end, you have this huge battle with all the Kryptonians that winds up leveling Metropolis. And it's, you know, the result is thousands of people die and then Batman Versus Superman kind of tries to correct for that, where it's like, "Oh, they're trying to hold Superman accountable." In turn Batman is -just in the few hours that we watch him- a mass murderer. Jessika: Yeah.  Mike: And then to your point, not only is he  murdering people, but also he will sit there and survivors of like the criminals that he takes down, he will then brand them with like a heated up batarang or something. It's been a while since I saw it, I just remember the shape of the batarang on the skin. And then when they go to jail, they get like beaten to death for no explained reason. The label that started circulating as soon after this came out was  the DC Murderverse. It came from a really funny article that was written as a spoiler FAQ for io9 by Rob Bricken. And he founded the blog topless robot and then he was an editor for, for io9 for awhile. And it is both one of the funniest things that you will ever read and also one of the most damning. And one of the best, one of the best lines in it is "welcome to the DC Murderverse. Hope you survive." And then in parentheses: "you won't, Batman will murder you." But I mean, there's another scene in it where, you know, you see Batman drive the Batmobile up I think, uh, the back of a truck. And the bumper is within an inch of a dude's head and then it cuts away. But it is very heavily implied that his head did a very realistic imitation of an overripe pumpkin getting smashed with a baseball bat. And so a lot of people have massive problems with Zack Snyder, taking a fairly brutal nihilistic approach with the fandoms. I'm not going to lie. I'm one of those people. I spent a long time thinking that he just didn't understand these characters and we'll come back to that later on. Batman Versus Superman wound up causing a pretty big course correction and Warner Brothers acknowledged that it was problematic.  I think they would have written it off. It had a massive opening, like I think it was the top. It was the number nine grossing film of the year or something like that. But what happened was, if you look at the actual box office data, it also featured the most extreme drop-off I think in film history at the time of the Friday to Sunday box office, like it was very front-loaded. It took in a heinous amount of money on Friday. And by that Sunday word of mouth that started to get around. And so it was just dropping off fast and it was a movie that, that did really well at the box office, when you stop and think about it. I think it, I think it earned around $350-400 million, but it was all front-loaded. People weren't going back to see it. And the other thing is that -based on the elements that we've discussed- people with kids weren't going to see it. They weren't taking their kids. Jessika: Yeah, you're removing an entire demographic. And not only that, a lot of the times parents don't get the opportunity to go to the movie theater to see these things. So if they're not going as a family, you're also losing those parents as, as part of that demographic. In my opinion, I don't know if that's actually factually based.  Mike: Well, I mean, I don't think you're wrong. Speaking of someone who has step-kids and the other thing is that so many kids with little parents will take their kids to a movie because we just want fucking five minutes of silence and quiet and calm, and we will take those children -depending on what's available- we will take those kids to go see the same movie multiple times. I mean, my mom took me to see the original Ninja turtles movie four times in the theater. And I've since talked to her, uh, having watched it since then it acknowledging it's not nearly as good as I remember it. And I remember when I talked to her about it and I apologized for making her take me to see it so many times the last time she was like, "meh, it was fine. I just sat in the lobby and read a book and wait until you came out. I wasn't worried." Jessika: That's amazing. Can you imagine parents these days doing that?  Mike: Oh my God. I don't want to. CPS would be called on your ass so fast.  Jessika: Yeah, no, it was a different, different time. I sound so old.  Mike: Yeah. The seventies and eighties were that, that golden age of latchkey kids.  Batman Versus Superman came out, it didn't make nearly as much money as they wanted it to. I think it wound up at the, at the worldwide box office making about $200 million less than they expected it to. Meanwhile, Suicide Squad came out and actually overperformed, they sorta evened out. Wonder Woman came out between all these and Justice League, and performed gangbusters business. And then Snyder started to shoot Justice League. So he's shot the principal footage for Justice League and then in March, 2017, he very understandably stepped away from the movie because his daughter committed suicide.  Jessika: Oh, I wasn't aware of this.  Mike:  Yeah. It's one of those things where you have to acknowledge that this happened because the man suffered a horrifying personal tragedy that you would not wish on anyone. And after this happened, Joss Whedon stepped in Zack Snyder apparently actually asked for Joss Whedon to take over. DC and Warner Brothers brought him in. And it was really big news at the time, because this was the guy who had singlehandedly, you know, in fan's eyes unified, the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He had created the Avengers movie. He had then done Age of Ultron, which wasn't as well received, but he was really popular at this point. And people were really enthusiastic about this. In fact, some people were so enthusiastic that it was actually really gross, how a lot of outlets treated it. So a lot of the more fan- oriented websites and outlets were treating this with, with headlines like Zack Snyder is out shall sweeten is in, and they were really trying to frame it as Oh, "DC fired Zack Snyder and brought in Joss Whedon to fix Justice League," which wasn't the case. It was absolutely vital the way that some of those outlets played it, none of the major ones did. In fact, I was doing a search on the web and it's really hard to find those sites with those stories because they got so much backlash that a lot of them got taken down. But I remember it circulating on Twitter, on film Twitter and comics Twitter at the time that it all happened. And it was really gross not to go into too much detail, but it's since been revealed that Whedon fostered a pretty toxic environment on set as did DC's chief creative officer, Geoff Johns. Cyborg actor, Ray Fisher, was really outspoken about this and wound up potentially nuking his film career. This was his first big role and it took a lot of guts for him to come out and not only make the public accusations, but then stick with them for a long period of time. And it wound up creating an investigation which ultimately left him pretty vindicated. Joss, I think has wound up if I remember right, he wound up losing a TV deal with Warner Brothers, you know, and now he is kind of persona non grata. Eight months after he stepped in his version of the movie came out and it was really underwhelming, both in terms of reviews and in box office take, in fact it was the lowest box office take out of the entire DC Extended Universe. Yeah. As opposed to the Avengers, which I think set box office records, I think it was the top grossing domestic movie or  the second top second highest. It was a pretty notable fall from grace. And we'll talk about that later on, especially our issues with the film, but a section of Snyder's fans immediately started to latch onto the idea that there was a director's cut out there. And it was something true to his vision as the grand culmination of the DCEU and that it was just sitting on a shelf somewhere. And Warner Brothers was screwing over their favorite director by not letting his fans experience his vision because they got scared of how brilliant it was or, or something. Um, side note that didn't exist. It wasn't real. Snyder has since acknowledged to Vanity Fair that he had the footage for a director's cut on his laptop, but it didn't have visual effects. It didn't have music, it wasn't refined at all. It was just something that he would show to friends when they were over at his house. So this group of outraged fans started the hashtag "release the Snyder Cut," and it began spreading all over the internet and picking up steam. And eventually even Snyder and the movie star started sharing the hashtag. But the movement was really problematic because of how toxic the campaigns. A lot us champions were Joanna Robinson wrote a really excellent article for Vanity Fair about the campaign noting, and this is a direct quote, "plenty of earnest pleas came with the hashtag, but also vitriol was extreme even for Twitter, including harassment campaigns targeted at critics, HBO Max, Warner Brothers, and its employees. Former DCEU film chief Geoff Johns left the platform entirely after receiving endless Twitter attacks and director James Gunn, who was hired to write and direct a Suicide Squad Sequel for the studio discovered that his new gig came with at least one death threat from a user with a Batman avatar.  Jessika: Not a good luck. Mike: No, the movement from my end, as someone who has no connection to the film industry reminded me a lot of Gamergate, which I had a lot more connection to. Because at the time I was working in the video games industry and I'd come over from the side of being a tech slash games journalist. And it was really worrisome to watch this whole Snyder Cut thing go on, because I had seen a lot of my friends, especially that were women from the parts of the industry that I was involved with, really awfully treated and it really made my stomach turn. And it was really upsetting because at the time my company that I was working for basically told us not to talk about Gamergate. And it was really upsetting. So there was this weird Venn diagram kind of miasma between the two groups and it continued to drive home how toxic nerd culture can be.  Jessika: Yeah. Mike: Anyway.  Jessika: That's why we love all the nerds here. Just however you want to be a nerd, but just don't be mean to others. That's the whole thing you don't need to, you don't need to be mean in your nerdom. It doesn't have to be a contest either. Like you can just like things.  Mike: Yeah. It makes me really sad to watch these really toxic elements, shout the loudest and thus they get the most attention. And most of the nerds that I know are lovely, wonderful people. It just bums me out. And that is an understatement in an extreme regard, but it's just so upsetting to watch this continue to happen over and over again. And it's been really picking up steam over the past decade. We're going to fast forward now to February of last year. So Warner brothers has just announced that they're going to commit another $70 million to letting Zack Snyder complete his vision. And then he's going to release the Snyder Cut exclusively on HBO max, which I can't remember at the time, if it was actually live or not. I think they had three different versions of streaming HBO platforms and then they also had the DC universe. And there was also the AT&T acquisition of Warner Brothers going on at the time. So they were trying to sit there and centralize all these different fandoms into one platform that would pay 15 bucks a month or whatever. So they need exclusive content. And now here we are a year later and the Snyder Cut dropped about four days ago and we both watched it. What was your reaction first of all, to Joss Whedon's version, because I remember you, you watched that recently, right?  Jessika: So not only did I, I love torturing myself. Not only did I watch it the day before I watched the Snyder Cut. I also watched it the day after I watched the Snyder Cut. And I'll tell you why as I was watching the Snyder Cut.  (You lost a bet?)  No. Yeah, I know. Right. It feels like it, um, to myself, maybe I couldn't, I really had to identify. What exactly had been removed from that other, you know, to make the Whedon, the Whedon version of it.  Mike: And I mean, a lot seemed to have been removed.  Jessika: How did it get this diluted?  Mike: Yeah. And I mean like the, the Joss Whedon version was two hours long, you know, as opposed to the four hours that we get with a Snyder Cut. Jessika: Yes. I would say that when I first watched it, it was confusing. It took a while for the narrative to tell the story of the mother boxes. And even then the explanation felt really flimsy. The new Justice League characters felt like they were just sandwiched into the movie to push the plot narrative. And we didn't really get the chance to get invested in their well-being enough to care what ultimately happened to them. In my opinion, we just didn't know enough about them. I mean, I don't kind of, didn't give a fuck about Cyborg at the end of the movie. I'm not going to lie. We didn't get enough of him. And he just seemed like this stoic non- character. He just seemed like a filler. Yeah. He was a red shirt.  Mike: Yeah. Except he didn't die.  Jessika: Except he didn't die, but he was, he could have died and nobody would have cared. Mike: No, no one would have. And I mean, it's funny that you bring up the thing about the mother boxes because when Justice League came out, I was actually really grumpy about the mother boxes because I felt it was again a colossal misunderstanding of a very important piece of DC cannon lore. And I remember I actually wound up texting with Sarah. We'd only been dating for about a month by that point. And I had this whole rant. Talking about how mother boxes are generally these neutral, good things from the comics, from the bonkers, Jack Kirby, New Gods/Fourth World continuity that he created, which is where Darkseid comes from and all that. And largely they're these neutral to kind of neutral, good benevolent self-aware supercomputers that can perform all these tasks. They open up boom tubes, which are how the New Gods get around the universe and everything. They also can repair and heal, and they are defined by this definition of love, where when their user dies, they actually commit suicide. It felt kind of like peak Zack Snyder, where he took a thing that was known in DC comics as a relatively benign creation, defined by love and turning it into a weapon of mass destruction. Jessika: Wow.  Mike: They made it better in this version. I felt.  Jessika: Agreed.  Mike: But I was so angry about it. And I remember texting Sarah about this whole thing. And then I went and saw the movie. I was just so grumpy about that one element for the longest time. I, I have not seen it since it came out in theaters, you know, and at the time it was really remarkable that it looked as cheap as it did considering it had a $300 million budget, which means that now Justice League has cost AT&T 400 million or Warner brothers 400 million to make. I don't... film finances are very weird, but, but ultimately we are looking at a movie that costs 400, almost $400 million to make, not including any of the marketing costs, which are just astronomical at this point. You know, and I, I described it back then as a solid five out of 10 And that rating's kind of slipped over time. Like, I I'd say it's a three or a four now. There there's just, there's so much stuff that didn't make sense. And none of the new characters really felt like characters. Like you said, that said, I will say it looks even a weaker now when you compare it to what just came out and, you know, I, I have my own quibbles about that version of the movie, but it's certainly a lot better than what was released in 2017. Jessika: Yeah. Doing a side-by-side I'm going to have to agree with you on that too.  Mike: Moving into my reactions to the Snyder Cut. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised overall. I really didn't go in expecting much, but this was a much more coherent film that took the time to develop its characters and felt... not a lot, but a bit more faithful to canonical DC lore. Like I told you about the mother boxes, I thought that was a pretty vast misunderstanding. But then in this one, there's the line where Cyborg. It says that they're changed engines. They don't really perceive good or evil. They're all about changing things and it's not great, but I didn't have a problem with that as a comic book fan, that said a pretty big problem with how Snyder's movies are just so violent and Justice League really continued that trend. Jessika: Yeah. Mike: I mean, at the end of the day, these are comic book movies and they have a ton of merchandise marketed towards kids, but none of them are things that I would want to take my kids to that said some of the other DC extended universe, I would totally take the kids to go see, I I've shown my stepson. Shizam it's one of his favorite movies. We've let him watch Wonder Woman. Which you know, you and I have discussed it. It's got its own issues, but it's still a pretty kid friendly movie as opposed to Superman recreating 9/11 on his own or, or Batman terrorizing an entire city for two decades.  Jessika: Yeah.  Mike: Also like, can we talk about how Batman outfits, all of his vehicles with guns, which is just fucking weird. Jessika: That is a very strange choice.  Mike: It continued in this, like we saw Wonder Woman, literally murdering terrorists. I'm still kind of floored at how lazy that scene was, where they're just like, Oh, we don't have any goals to this. These terrorists move into a, I guess, a government building or something like that. I don't know where it was. It was somewhere in there.  Jessika: Not very well explained. Yeah.  Mike: Yeah. Yeah. And then when she sits there and tries to interrogate them with her lasso it's, "we don't have goals. We're just extremists who..." something about resetting Europe back to the middle ages and it's not well explained. And then she just. Drops down and goes completely ham on all of these dudes. And it is not subtle the whole, like she, you see her kick a dude in the wall and there is a very vivid red stain on the wall behind him afterwards. And it's literally in front of a group of school girls.  Jessika: That's exactly it. And I, I feel like with this scene, one of the things that I preferred in this cit over the Whedon version is that at least at the end, she was trying to calm everybody down and they showed that piece of it. That kind of more human piece of you expect Diana to do, but that was completely removed from the first version, that theatrical version of it.  Mike: Yeah, absolutely. And the theatrical version was also going for that PG- 13 rating so that they could be as marketable as possible. And, you know, I guess Diana showcasing her kindness was just deemed something that could hit the chopping room floor in order to get that much more time back. And then they could squeeze in one more showing of the film in the theater for the day. But I mean, this was a recurring theme. Like Superman comes back and then he tries to murder Batman with his heat vision. That was something that wasn't in the, in the Joss Whedon version, but he straight up tries to murder Batman. And as he's doing so the police and the national guard that are there that are trying to contain the situation, get caught in the crossfire and would have straight up died if not for the other members of the League. And then also, you know, Steppenwolf keeps on popping up and going bonkers with his ax and just lopping people in half right and left. Like that scene where he teleports into Atlanta's you see multiple people bisected with that act?  Jessika: Yeah. It's really, really graphic.  Mike: How did you feel about all the exposition? Cause there was a lot of it.  Jessika: It was too much. I mean, I think back to your point about over-correcting this was an overcorrection, you know, we, yeah, we needed a little bit more. We needed slightly more, but it's like, please sir, can I get s'more? And they threw the whole bucket on us and that's not what we asked for. You know, I, I don't know. Maybe some people asked for that. I didn't necessarily need that in my life. It just was such an overabundance of, "Oh, it's this person to tell you what's happening right this second and what's going on." And uh, it's just, ugh.  Mike: It was a fire hose. There wasn't even a bucket.  Jessika: Yeah, I agree. Mike: And I mean, like that was the flip side of the plot being a lot more coherent, but so much of it came in the form of exposition. Like that whole giant battle scene with Apokolips was a lot of fun, but we didn't need constant narration from Diana. Explaining everything that was happening. And then on top of that, the placement of it was so random where she just shows up and Bruce Wayne is working on his plane thing and then she's like, "Oh, and then this happened." And then it's this whole scene that feels incredibly out of place. I don't understand why they didn't pull a Lord of the Rings and just put this all at the beginning.  Jessika: Yeah. Agreed, agreed. It would've made a lot more sense at that point to, you know, bringing it back to if you're trying to make it more coherent. Mike: I mean, this is the way that I felt, but I like to be taken on a narrative ride and we never got that this time around, we were just shown a lot of what happened and then these omniscient narrators were explaining it to us.  Jessika: Yeah. Yeah. I'd agree with that.  Mike: The other thing is that you mentioned that like these new characters were really kind of sandwiched in and the Joss Whedon version. And in this one, they got a lot more screen time and development time. How did you feel about the Flash, Aquaman, and Cyborg and what the movie did with them this time around as opposed to last time? Jessika: So what I wanted out of this, if you're going to keep it in this direction, I think that if you were going to have so many new characters, yes, you absolutely have to explain where they come from, especially for folks who aren't familiar with the DC universe and comics or other, you know, other forms. That being said, I really wish they had done this in a mini series where they could have really focused on "this is what happened with Victor in Cyborg's perspective," and maybe told a portion of the story, or, you know, did you see House on Haunted Hill or Haunting of Hill house? That's what it was. Each  Mike: Yeah.... The Netflix series, right? Yeah. That was really good.  Jessika: And what I liked about that, and I really think they could have done a really good job of doing it this way is each episode they layered in new person's perspective that told you just a little bit more of the story. I feel like this plot line had all of the makings of that and it would have been really cool to see it build up. And I feel like you could have gained a lot of really good fan base excitement around, okay, we're going to show you episode one and then you get a week to talk about it. And then we're going to show you episode two, and then you get a week to talk about it. And I think in the same way that Wandavision had such good presence and such good reaction from the fan base, I feel like in a way there's the potential that there could have been the same thing that being said. When I think of. DC TV shows. I think of the CW, which is not necessarily a good correlation, you know, alternatively, I don't know that I would have necessarily had full faith in the making a TV show because of what they have produced in TV shows in the past, unless you were to make it... I think if you would put Snyder's name on it regardless, you probably could have amplified it to a place where it needed to be, to kind of outgrow that. And actually that maybe would've been a good direction for their TV shows to kind of get a good spotlight into, but what do I know?  Mike: Yeah. Going off on a, on a side tangent, I have generally enjoyed the, the CW shows. I haven't watched all of them, but they're fun. They're disposable Legends of Tomorrow really became a fun experience after it turned into Doctor who, but with superheroes.  You know, the Flash at this point, I think they're on what season seven or something like that. Now I haven't watched for awhile. But something they actually did was during their big crossover, which, you know, you normally don't see in TV shows and they turned it into an annual thing. They did, uh, I think it was Crisis on Infinite Earths. And at the end of it, they actually had Ezra Miller show up in his Snyder Flash costume, and then there's Grant Gustin on the other side, it's really a charming scene where they're sitting there and talking about how much they like each other's costumes. Jessika: Yeah. That's actually really wholesome.  Mike: It actually makes me really happy when I think about that. Yeah. It's really fun. I think the new character is definitely benefited in this version of the movie. I really liked Barry Allen's intro. Actually. I thought it was really solid. We'll get into this because the Snyders' movies are always very male gazey. Women are not really well done as characters in his movies. That said, I thought as her Miller's Flash, was pretty fun. I loved the sequence where he was applying for jobs. And then we see him talking to his dad. And there's the little bit where his dad's like, "you know, where's the, where did this interest in criminal justice come from?" And he goes, "Oh yeah, where did this interest come from? It couldn't be the fact that my dad was committed for murdering my mom, which he didn't do. And I want to prove that he didn't do it." And I was like, that's fine. That's great. The whole Cyborg thing where he's getting the training montage narrated by his dad. I was okay with that too. I thought it was actually really neat when it was showing him wandering through the internet and he looks human and then he winds up helping out that for waitress who is just getting screwed over by the system. Aquaman, I thought was kind of the least interesting character in terms of backstory, because they were trying to do a backdoor pilot basically for his movie that was coming up. And so they have Willem Defoe show up as Volko. And we were like, we don't fucking know who this guy is. The only reason that we know who he is now is because Aquaman has come out since Justice League. And Amber Heard as Mera, which whatever, the less said, the better, but they're sitting there and providing so much exposition about his brother or about his mother and how Mera's using his Tridents and who cares? The only thing that saved this for me was the fact that Aquaman has played by everybody's future ex-husband Jason Mamoa Jessika: Mhm. Never wearing a shirt nor do I want him to. Mike: I will forgive Zack Snyder for so much just for the fact that he gave us so much shirtless Jason Mamoa  Jessika: It's true. That was a heavy pause. You were, I might leave in part of that pause. Cause you were like, you were thinking heavily on it. There was, it was weighted. Mike: I'm not sorry. Jessika: Don't be. Aquaman as the fun, loving the surfer, bro. Was such a great casting decision and direction. I mean, I was so glad that they kept in the bit where he, in that final scene in Russia, he stabs a Parademon and then surfs him through the sky, into a building and then surfs him out of the building and jumps off and does a hair flip. And I was so happy they kept that in.  Mike: I was too, although my one qualm with, with Jason Mamoa and how they, they wrote him, this is such a little nitpicky thing, but there's no way he would have like thrown a glass bottle into the ocean with such reckless lack of care. Like he did. There's no way. And it was in bold cuts. And I was like, come on, Snyder Well, right. That kind of goes back to my earlier point where I used to think that Snyder doesn't understand the major DC characters that he's putting on the film because he pulls shit like that. Or he gives Batman guns or he has Superman try to murder the police or Wonder Woman killing people in front of children, you know, or... well, the flashy actually I felt got pretty good, but it just, it always felt like this thing where I was like, Oh, I think you see these comic book panels that you really like, and then you decide to recreate them on film. And then his brand is a very traditional over the top type of masculinity. Like you look at the movies he's done and they are all super male gazey. Like they are all about women as objects and men as power fantasies. It's not even up for discussion. 300 and Sucker Punch, I think are the two movies I hold up as examples of that. And they're really pretty, but they don't hold up too much scrutiny in terms of depth.  Jessika: Speaking of it, being for the male gaze Barry, I find low key cringey in both films, but like in different ways, which is interesting.  Mike: Right?  Jessika: And the attrical Barry has that really gross moment of falling directly onto Wonder Woman's breasts that was cut out of Snyder's version. And like that's not the characters fault, but it's how it was written. Was it knocked out?  Mike: No. So actually that is a scene that's pretty controversial. Apparently Joss Whedon was recreating a scene from Avengers: Age of Ultron, where Bruce falls onto Natasha, the black widow. You know, he was apparently really bitter about how Age of Ultron was not as well received. So he was kind of just recreating things from Age of Ultron that he thought were going to play really well this time around. This isn't confirmed, but at least a couple of journalists have commented on this, on Twitter at that scene, Gal Gadot refuse to film it. So they had a body double actually do that sequence. Jessika: Okay. Yeah. I know what that actually, the way I'm like thinking of how her head was with, I think her head was to the side. It was. Wow. Wow. Wow. Well that I, that makes me feel a little bit better. Good for you girl. That's, that's amazing that they had this whole infatuation with Barry, this random woman he's just met or he's just kind of run into, we didn't even meet her. Mike: No. And the thing is, you wouldn't know this, but like the thing is that they had announced her casting and all that. So that's supposed to be Iris West, who is the woman that he winds up marrying. And, you know, in comics cannon, they are one of, you know, the, the, the fa- their marriage is one of the foundations of the DC universe. It's like them and Superman and Lois lane, and a couple of others, but Barry Allen and Iris West are one of those really just kind of like permanent foundations of the DC cosmos.  Jessika: Well, then this is a really unfortunate choice and how it was chosen to, I don't know, I get Barry being infatuated and kind of watching after her. And that would have been all well and good. That's whatever you're going to do. My dude, you saw a pretty lady. That's fine, but it was them feeling the need to also make her as she's driving look like in a completely different direction to the side, watching him as well. And somehow that also felt like it contributed to the accident, even though that other guy also had something going on, you know, really coincidentally, you know, it just, it felt really, um, contrived and it felt very gazey in that way. But then also he does that thing where he gets closer instead of just fucking saving her. He has to like brush the fucking hair out of her face and like fucking touch her face. And it just was so gross to me. She didn't have a choice, like, yes, maybe he was helping her, but that doesn't mean you have the right to touch her as well.  Mike: Yeah. And I think if they had taken that one bit out of that scene, I think it would have been perfect because he's this kind of socially awkward weirdo, which I actually really enjoyed because you don't see that a lot. And then there's the whole bit where he grabs the hot dog and then he uses it with the dogs afterwards, which I thought was clever and funny, I thought that was really cute. But the thing is, is everything about this movie, every time they did stuff, I liked, I would then wind up throwing my hands into the air about 10 seconds later because of some weird cringey decision that they did for whatever.  Jessika: That was exactly how I felt. Mike: And that said, other than that one moment where it's like, Hmm, okay. So I knew who that was supposed to be. And I was like, yeah, they're supposed to be, you know, destined to be together. And again, they're trying to set that backdoor pilot information up for Barry Allen and the Flash, which that movie is never fucking happening. It's had so many production problems, but Oh my God, everything else about that scene. That was great. I, I thought one of the coolest things was the bit where he rips out of his shoes because he's moving so fast. I thought that was such a great little touch and  Jessika: exactly.  Mike: I mean, that's something that Zack Snyder does really well is he makes these incredibly visually arresting sequences. And I, I also love the bit where they show, how Barry all he does is he just very lightly touches things because he's moving so fast that if he does anything more than that, it will destroy whatever he's interacting with. And so you saw that initially with the glass window in, and then later on where you see him very gently taking her down, you know, and it's, it's like a tender embrace, which with that setup makes a lot of sense. I really liked that though the whole bit where, where he has to be so gentle with everything, because he's moving so fast that it made sense that he would save Iris in a way that looked almost like a gentle embrace. And that part didn't feel gross.  Jessika: No, exactly. That felt necessary. And to your point, it felt like he was doing what needed to be done so that she was safe in the end. Mike: Yeah. Jessika: Okay. Wait, there was one other Berry thing that I didn't like though. One more. And then I'll and then I'm done with Barry for now. It was so unnecessary and just why there was the point in the movie where Barry's talking to Victor and he goes, so what do you think, do you think Diane is into younger men? It was so unnecessary. And especially after you telling me about this whole Iris business. Okay. If you've already got your eye on someone, why are you trying to get at Wonder Woman?  Mike: No. And again, okay. So this goes back to my earlier point of like, I don't think Zack Snyder understands DC characters. I think he thinks he does and that we don't.  Jessika: Zack, honey.  Mike: You could have cut that scene out. It served no real purpose. It's like, yeah, they're digging up the mother box, whatever who fucking cares. You could have cut that out. And it would have been fine. Barry scamming on Wonder Woman was just kind of an eye-roll moment. And I was like, this is dumb. I will say that overall, I did like Flash, Cyborg and Aquaman. I actually, I really liked the fact that Joe Morton, the guy who played Cyborg's dad, he was on the show Smallville in a recurring role as Professor Hamilton, who was another STAR Labs employee, you know, almost 20 years ago. And I thought that was actually kind of a nice little throwback and overall the moments of levity, I generally, like, I felt like most of them hit pretty well. And a lot of that levity was delivered by Barry or by Aquaman.  Jessika: I would agree.  Mike: And I also have to say it's a really good-looking movie. Like, especially when you compare it to the theatrical version, I wish Zack Snyder would learn to use color a little more. Sarah described it as "we get it, dude. You like to film things in, black."  Jessika: Open his wardrobe. That's all he has.  Mike: What were your favorite things about the movie?  Jessika: Well, I felt like this version definitely felt more narratively succinct. And with the caveat that I agree that it's too much. So, you know, I, I know that I already went through that a little bit, so I won't focus on that too much, but I felt like the boss scenes, there was so much taken away from them because we spent so much time that we had what we're supposed to be, these big, epic battle scenes that felt really diminished because of the rest of the exposition that was kind of taking place around it. Things that I did like, yeah, I did like that the Amazons got a larger and more Epic battle added bonus. My goal Robin Wright was back.  Mike: That was so good. Yeah. All of that was so good.  Jessika: What was such a bummer was that we didn't see the temple fall in that first one. And I, I think that was such a, that was such a big moment then it, I think it meant so much more that there was actual physical destruction. It was such a good representation of the metaphor of them being physically destroyed by the fact that they failed to protect this mother box. This was their one job that temple's one job to protect this. It could not do it. It is gone now.  Mike: I'm actually really excited about the Amazon spinoff movie that they're planning to do. Cause I'm like, yeah, I'm, I'm fine with just two hours of the Amazons being a bunch of bad-asses.  Jessika: Absolutely. Which means could it be possible that this will be a movie completely devoid of men? There's a very good possibility, which just puts my heart a flutter. There are plenty of movies -before everyone gets all uppity- there are plenty of movies with literally no women in them.  Mike: Yeah.  Jessika: You know, let's throw one in our direction. Why not?  Mike: Exactly. I don't know, but I'm really excited about it. It's funny because we still have these movies on the slate, you know, that's coming down the pipeline. And people keep on screaming about how the Snyderverse needs to be restored. The Snyderverse is still here. Wonder Woman is still part of the Snyderverse Shazam is still part of the Snyderverse. But the thing is that the Snyderverse is not actually the Snyderverse. It's the DCEU; Zack Snyder started it, but he's not the person that gets to define what the DCEU is. It's it's Warner Brothers and AT&T ultimately kind of like, you know, how Disney gets to determine, the MCU. What were your biggest problems with the movie? I'm curious,  Jessika: You know, the movie's already so damn long. We did not need those stupid ass post-apocalyptics cenes. Those were stupid. They didn't make it a no, you know, we get it. You want to make another movie. Fuck off and make another movie, but you don't have to show us a half an hour of it in this movie. This is this movie.  Mike: No. And you know that Zack Snyder was really gearing up to make that it's quote "the knightmare sequence" that knight as in K N I G H T. Because of course it is. The fact that he's included both the sequences in his movies, you know that he really wanted to make an entire movie set with that as the backdrop. And this was all the lead-up. Again, these are movies for kids. I don't want to see Superman murder the entire fucking planet because his girlfriend died, which they're like, "Oh no, Lois Lane died and, you know, he's going crazy."  Jessika: Sorry, but Superman is a fucking alien. Who's going to live so much longer than Lois Lane. The very best he can hope for is that she is going to grow old and die in his arms. And I hate to be that way, but it is the truth. And you know, what's more realistic because of his line of work. And her line of work quite frankly, is that she is probably going to lose her life a lot earlier than most people, most healthy white women, let's say yes.  Mike: Yes. And I'm gonna jump in with one of my big problems with a movie, which is, I feel that the Snyderverse does Lois Lane real fucking dirty. She exists to be put in danger and then to be sad about Superman then, I mean, that, that's kind of going back to the whole male gazy thing. It's like women in this movie other than Diana exist to be threatened, which is what happened with the Amazons -even though they got a bad-ass action sequence, it was all about them being used to wipe the floor by Steppenwolf- to be sad, which was the whole dialogue scene between Lois and Martha -which by the way, not even Martha, we'll get to that in a second- or to be put in danger and just saved like, you know, like Iris West and  Barry Allen, or Mira and Aquaman, that whole thing where Aquaman comes in out of the blue and saves her at the last minute from Steppenwolf. Jessika: Hey, going back really quick to the post-apocalyptic stuff, are we to assume now that Brucey boy has some sort of like future vision. What the fuck is that like, he's just some normal ass rich dude.  Mike: It's not explained, but it's really implied that he's suddenly receiving visions of the future for no fucking reason. Jessika: Nah, that's stupid as fuck. Mike:  I don't understand.  Jessika: Come at me, Zack Snyder, that's stupid as fuck.  Mike: It's ridiculous. I am going to say I did like one thing out of that, which was I -ugh-, I mean, like the first episode I talked about how Jared Leto, I was like, Oh God, he looks like the nun on his day off.  Jessika: Um, I mean, no lie.  Mike: The other thing is that in Suicide Squad, his character and acting was just insufferable. I couldn't stand it. And in this one in the two minutes of footage of the Joker that we saw, I actually really enjoyed it. I liked the whole speech that he gave. I liked the bit where he was talking about the losses that Batman had suffered both as a son and as a father, I thought that was great. And the whole bit where he's like, "Oh, so I'm gonna present a truce. It's going to be in the form of this card. And when you want to end it, just tear it up."  And I thought that was such a cool moment and they fucking ruined it again, where Bruce Wayne immediately goes, "well, when Harley Quinn died in my arms, she begged me to kill you. And I will-" and this is what he actually says, "and I will fucking kill you." And I'm like, wuh- I'm out.  Jessika: I hate about that situation. It's like, if you want to off him, you clearly don't have any issues offing people just get rid of him, stop terrorizing him. But I guess that's Batman's MO. He literally told somebody in both versions, I believe I want you to fear me or whatever the fuck he says, he's going for active fear and terrorization. Yeah.  Mike: Yeah. Well, and that kind of ties into what happened right after the knightmare sequence vision, which is Bruce Wayne wakes up. And then we get the most useless, goddamn cameo in the entire movie of the Martian Manhunter, who is portrayed by Harry Lennix. And he has one other scene, which again, going back to my earlier point, Martha Kent, after she leaves Lois's apartment, when they bonded over being sad about Superman being dead turns into the Martian Manhunter and there, I don't remember what the line was that Lois said, it was something about like, well, the world needed Superman or something like that. And then, and then the Martian Manhunter you see him... Martha turns into the green-skinned Martian Manhunter who, by the way, it looks like ass. I'm sorry. I think it's one of the ugliest character designs I've ever seen. And then it turns into Harry Lennix in a military uniform and Harry Lennix has some line of like, well, the world needs you to Ms. Lane.  And then he walks off with no further explanation. And then he shows up at the very end of the movie and delivers a speech about, Oh, well, you know, you handled Darkseid well, but I'll be around. And by the way, you can call me Martian Manhunter.  Jessika: It was a barbershop quartet of exposition for sure. Mike: It's such bullshit. It is, again, it goes back to that thing of like Zack Snyder clearly wanted to do another movie. He was trying to set it up. So he had another movie to use this as a jumping off point from, but Martian Manhunter in this movie, but he's Tuxedo Mask like, well, first of all, he liked delivers all this random exposition, but then it's, it's that Tuxedo Mask meme where he's like," my work here is done" and everyone's like, "but you didn't do anything." He's like, AWAY!" So come at me Zack Snyder fanboys. Martian Manhunter in this movie is Tuxedo Mask.  Jessika: Yeah. Yeah. I didn't love it.  Mike: Let's compare the two. I think it was better than what we got in the theatrical version. There's no question about that.  Jessika: Yeah. Agreed. Agreed.  Mike: I think it was fine. I don't think it was good. It's not something that I'm going to rewatch. It's something that I'm certainly not going to show to any of my kids anytime soon.  Jessika: No.  Mike: It reminds me of this experience I had when I was working as a writer at a game studio where one of the CEOs wound up haranguing me in the lead designer for this digital card game we were working on because the latest expansion we had put out didn't feel epic enough. And that was the thing they kept pushing was they wanted something epic and people like that just don't understand that when your story is epic all the time, people get burnout and they stop caring about it. And the Snyder Cut was just, it was four hours of "epicness."  Jessika: Agreed. I, there was only ramping up. There were no dips or anything to take you on, you know, an interesting narrative journey. There just wasn't anything like that. It was, we are full steam ahead. We are headed in one direction. You are going there, whether you want to or not. It was, it felt very forced.  Mike: Yeah. And I think it's also really tainted because this thing only exists because a conspiracy theory morphed into a harassment campaign. And then AT&T and Warner Brothers wound up caving to it because they were trying to harness that movement and that's not up for debate. It probably won't be the last time we see something like this happen now that it's proven to be a successful formula. And that really fucking sucks. Yeah. Set a precedent for sure. Oh, and Young Justice, the cartoon, season three, does this whole storyline way better go watch that on HBO max. Jessika:  Oh, well there you go then. Shoot. I mean, not that I want to even touch this storyline, like after sitting through arguably eight hours of it in the last couple of days, since I watched the Whedon version twice. Mike: Why, why would you do that to yourself? Like...  Jessika: Because I just, I, I, you know what, here's the full transparency I fell asleep the first time I watched it. So I felt like I couldn't really accurately gauge. And you know what? I felt like I woke up pretty quickly. Like I was watching my brother and he was like, Hey, you know, so he'd like, if he noticed. He'd like, say something, if you see something, say something, my friends, but about people waking up in movies, I'm saying no. So I just, I decided I needed to, like, as I was watching the Snyder Cut, I just couldn't remember was wait a second. Was this in the movie? And I was live tweeting as I was doing it. And then I was like, I'm going to look real stupid if Robin Wright was in this other movie and I'm like saying she wasn't, you know, because I was about to like tweet at Robin Wright? God damn. I wish I had.  Mike: Hey man. She's like a Bay Area native isn't she?  Jessika: Probably. She's amazing.  Mike: Well, I know that she was when she was married to Sean Penn, they've lived right down the road from us. They were down on Fairfax or, or Greenbrae. Yeah, that's a, that's a marriage that I don't envy. Ugh, imagine marrying Sean blech.  Jessika: No, I can't even imagine watching one of his movies right now without pausing it several times.  Mike: Hmm. Do you have any final thoughts? I mean, we've kind of run the gamut, but you know, is there anything else that you want to talk about with the Snyder Cut? Jessika: Well, I would say that, you know, I'm glad I was able to pause it. I did pause it like seven times while I was needed to get like snacks and things. You know, this is not a movie. That I would casually watch. I would not just sit down and be like, Oh, I think I'll watch the Snyder Cut tonight. It is a full ass time commitment. I planned my day out.  Mike: Yeah.  Jessika: Yes. I got to get really baked and watch the Snyder Cut. Here we go. You know, I do want to say two more things in comparison about the films though, in both films, speaking of the male gaze, I could not even count the amount of times the camera was aimed so that it got a shot up Wonder Woman skirt in the bathroom. Mike: I remember the one sequence where she's jumping off that people mover and you see ass cheek.  Jessika: Oh yeah. And it happened several times in the Snyder Cut as well. It's not just that singular time. I would say make it a drinking game, but you may die of alcohol poisoning. So please don't do that.  Mike: Yeah. And I mean, like, you need a couple of cocktails just to get through this movie anyway. Jessika: Yeah.  Mike: Like you said, it's an undertaking.  Jessika: And the other thing is I kind of actually really enjoyed that Steppenwolf had someone to be subservient to when he was actually driven by something other than this ridiculous unknowing desire to get these boxes put together. For some reason that never were explained, you know? So at least it kind of made him feel like he was a kid who was trying to get the approval of his parents.  Mike: Oh yeah. Like during his 3D Zoom calls with, with, with the various members of Apokolips and his court. Yeah.  Jessika: Yeah. Definite Dotty issues. That is for sure.  God. I, I will  Mike: say that I actually appreciated that they gave a little bit more backstory on that because in the movie he shows up in the theatrical version he shows up, there's no explanation about anything. It doesn't make any sense of why is this dude here instead of Darkseid. And then they do the bit where they explained that he's an exile. I thought that was better handled. I do have to say though that no matter how ominous and deep and full of rage, your voice is, the phrase "anti-life" sounds goofy as fuck. And they say that a lot in a lot of deep threatening voices.  Jessika: Especially when it's set out of that funky ass CGI mouth, which they did not do a good job in that second version that was messed up. It was like watching the scorpion King. It was like, I felt like it was maybe not exactly on that level, but it definitely had flat face vibes. Mike: Yeah. Which, I mean, I love the scorpion- or the Mummy Returns, right? That's what you're talking about with, oh, it's a terrible movie, but like, oh, that whole sequence, but the Rock is another of my future ex-husbands and they did him dirty.  Jessika: It was disappointing for something and otherwise lovely movie. Mike:  It's a fun movie. It's dumb as shit. But I remember watching that when it came out in theaters, I saw that movie like three times in the theaters with my friends and the other CGI and the movie is actually really good. And then they have that sequence and I was 20 at the time. And you know, this was what, 2000, 2001, when it came out and all of us were sitting there and we're dumb kids, like just out of high school. And we're like, "that looks like ass." Like we're, we're not connoisseurs of CGI. At that point, we were just like, that looks terrible. That is so bad. It might violate the Geneva Convention. I don't know. I'm not, I'm not a lawyer, but that might be a hate crime.  Jessika: The top half of him swaying, like it, like it's drunk on his scorpion body. Oh, so bad. But the armor, I like the armor better in Snyder's version for Steppenwolf. I thought it was cooler. I liked the way that it kind of moved-  Mike: -it rippled and it had almost like a fur. It would like bristle, like fur, I thought that was cool. Yeah.  Now it's time for us to discuss our Brain Wrinkles, which are those things that are comics or comics adjacent that we just haven't been able to stop thinking about lately. So, Jess, how about you? What's wrinklin' your brain these days?  Jessika: Well, since I've been so DC forward in my life, these tasting notes of mine, I recently saw the Wonder Woman 84 -it was recently released- the Wonder Woman 84 gag reel. And I sent it in your and Sarah's direction. Cause I saw it and I was like, they have to see this. It was hysterical. Not only was it funny, but it showed a side of the characters that I think really is missing from that film. And don't get me wrong. There were absolutely moments of humor overall. It's more serious in nature, especially than the first one when you're looking at them in comparison. And I think that's why I'm such a Marvel fan girl, the Marvel characters to me, just, they seem to present a wider range of human emotions that make them feel more relatable than a lot of the characters in DCEU who just seemed like these kind of stoic, vanilla flavored, putting characters, you know, that you could kind of put them in a mold to be the other character and they might just fit. Mike: I mean, I love the fact that the Marvel movies are a lot of times really funny like Ant-Man and the Wasp is one of my favorite movies. It's arguably my favorite MCU movie. And it's just because it's so fun and funny. Like Scott Lang is a walking dad joke. That's his entire thing. That's a huge part of his character is that he is just, he is trying to be a good dad and he is not afraid to be goofy and weird.  Jessika: Oh, that's so wholesome. I'm getting to those films. I had to stop my, my Marvel universe jaunt in order to jump, you know, face first into the DC world. But I'm coming up for air friends. We are, we're going to get there. So what about you? What's what's been on the brain?  Mike: Um, so last week I wound up watching a TV show called The Watch and it's based on a series called the Discworld, which have you, have you read any of this? The Discworld books?  Jessika: I haven't, no.  Mike: The Discworld books are by a British author named Terry Pratchett. He co-wrote good omens if you saw that on Amazon.  Jessika: I've read that actually. Yeah.  Mike: Yeah. So he co-wrote that with Neil Gaiman, immensely talented, immensely funny writer. His book, he wrote, I think 40 or 41 of these books over about 30 plus years. And they are set in a fantasy world. That's like what Lord of the Rings would have been like if the industrial revolution had happened, where they all start, all the different races start congregating together and together in cities and there's vice and corruption. It's generally pretty funny. A lot of the books are set in the city called Ankh-Morpork where

Join us this week as we cover the CW crossover event, Crisis on Infinite Earths. We joined in on the crossover fun by teaming up with Sticky Keys and Philip of the Beacon Hills After Dark and Fandom Bite podcasts. The Crisis on Infinite Earths sparked absolute chaos on infinite (technically three) podcasts and we loved every second of it!As always, we started off with the sh*t we liked and sh*t we didn’t like this week. Our panel had a LOT to say about the royal situation with Meghan and Harry, so we combined it into a “mega” topic and let the opinions fly.Next, we get into our topic of the week - Crisis on Infinite Earths. We start with our overall thoughts about the crossover, which we all agreed was a really fun time. Legends of Tomorrow continues to stand out as the strongest of the shows because of the campy writing (and Beebo). As always, there was some sh*t we didn’t like. We are TIRED of the writers not giving Iris West-Allen more to do on the crossover and cannot believe that Barry did not go running home to his wife once he realized he was on a new Earth. We would have also liked to see more of the Legends get in on the fun, regardless of what promises Sara made to them about crossovers. We demand justice for Brandon Routh in Superman Returns! Although the film left much to be desired, there is no doubt that Routh is an amazing Superman and we were happy to see him in the iconic suit again in the crossover. Lex Luthor ain’t shit, but he was good fun as he complicated things for our heroes trying to save the universe. Of course things take a thirsty turn, as we talk about Hoechlin’s “super wedges” versus Iowa-born, cornfed Routh. We delve into Black Lightning being included in the crossover for the first time and chat about the characters who we wish were part of the action. We get into our favorite cameo appearances, including the delightful surprise appearance by Ezra Miller. Philip and Jocelyn also get into some heated discussions about a few members of the West family. Let there be no mistake, this is a pro Iris and Wally West podcast!Where to find our guest(s): Check out Sticky Keys on Twitter. She is currently doing some great coverage of the TCAs.

On this episode, Candice Patton, star of CW’s The Flash, sits down with us to help get some of the facts straight the internet has boldly gotten wrong about her. She breaks down the recognized importance of being cast as one of the first African Americans leads in a recurring genre fiction series and the responsibility that comes with it. She discusses the pressure she puts on herself to successfully portray the role of Iris West, so she can quiet the doubters and help lay the foundation for other African American women to play more leading roles in genre across film and TV. As a familiar face each year at the Saturn Awards, Candice shares what the award show means to her and why it’s important to go each year and represent African American women in science fiction, fantasy, and horror. She also talks about the emotional difficulty of her shooting schedule and how homesick she gets away from LA while filming in Canada.

Deathstroke kidnaps two speedsters so he can travel back in time to change the past, and in terms gets both the Titans and Teen Titans on his back in The Lazarus Contract.Affiliate link included in this post. Transcript follows:D.C. Comics' greatest assassin heads to the Speed Force in a crossover called The Lazarus Contract. We'll talk about it just ahead.Welcome to the Classic Comics Podcast where we search for the best comics in the universe. From Boise, Idaho here's your host, Adam Graham.The original Teen Titans began in the 1960s during the Silver Age but really hit the peak of their popularity in the 1980s. It began as a team of sidekicks of Superheroes. The original three were Robin/Dick Grayson, Kid Flash/Wally West and Aqualad but it expanded to include other teen heroes as well. In later years, many of the friends who stood together as Teen Titans became The Titans, but then came the New Fifty-Two and the wiping away of the D.C. Universe, as well as the efforts to alter the timeline. As revealed in D.C. Rebirth Number One, Wally West – a key member of the Titans – was wiped from everyone's memory but he returned and he got the Titans back together with the team now led by Nightwing and headquartered out of Manhattan. At the same time, current Robin, Damian Wayne, has founded his own Team Titans headquartered out of San Francisco, and this book brings both teams together with Death Stroke, a foe of the Titans from the pre-New Fifty-Two era and a sort of anti-hero. The trade paperback collects Titans Number Eleven, Teen Titans Number Eight, Deathstroke Nineteen and Twenty, and Teen Titans Annual Number One.The plot is that Deathstroke decides to travel back in time using the Speed Force to save his son. His problem is that he's not a speedster so he tries to kidnap old Wally West, and I should make a distinction: there are actually two Wally West in the current D.C. Universe. Old Wally West was the main Flash of the D.C. Universe from the 1980s into the Twenty-First Century, and he's the one who was apparently got wiped away by a nefarious forsooth being dealt with in other books. New Wally West is the son of Daniel West, the Reverse Flash and Iris West nephew. He's biracial and was introduced in the new Fifty-Two Flash comics, and I think at the time they really wanted him to become the accepted version of Wally West, but fans were so attached to the old Wally West that they've kind of worked it so they have it both ways. They're both members of the West family and Wally is a name that multiple people use. It's a bit of a cop-out but it's believable when you think about it. So, that cleared up, old Wally is kidnapped and doesn't cooperate at all with Deathstroke. New Wally doesn't fully cooperate when he is also kidnapped, but it's enough for Death Stroke to steal some speed and be able to traverse the Speed Force while also bringing both the Titans – which old Wally's a member – and the Teen Titans of which new Wally is a member down on him. And so the Titans and Teen Titans have to join together to stop him from his ultimate purpose which is to travel back in time and prevent the death of his son which could have major cosmic consequences. And it's revealed in the course of this that Dick Grayson had actually made a deal with Death Stroke as Robin that was a Lazarus Contract which could be revived if either party violated it, and this leads to some distrust from all sides.Alright, so that's the basic plot. What are the strengths of the story? Well, as I look at it – and this is something as I've looked at reviews few have talked about – it's the character growth for young Wally West. I'm a regular reader of The Flash and in that comic young Wally West has a lot to be upset about.

Bom dia, Boa tarde, Boa Noite, meu nome é Carlinhos Alves, direto de Fortaleza, com mais uma edição do podcast, O Literato, com resenhas de livros, comentários sobre filmes e séries baseados em literatura escrita, além de entrevistas, de memórias culturais e histórias de músicas e poesias que marcaram todas as épocas.Vamos um pouco que resumir hoje as 1°, 2° e 3° temporadas da série da TV The CW e DCM Comics que eu vi recentemente na Netflix. Flash. Na época o episódio piloto se tornou a segunda maior audiência do canal, sendo superado apenas por Diários de um Vampiro de 2009. No Brasil a Warner e a Globo transmitem a série.1° temporada: Tudo faz parte de uma lógica, o acelerador de partículas explode e Warison Wells, sem querer cria uma série de meta-humanos, na maioria deles com o desejo de fazer o mal. Entre eles, Barry Wallen, jovem, que ganha sua super velocidade. Aqui vamos se concentrar no sofrimento de Barry por causa do seu passado e o que aconteceu aos seus pais. A busca pela justiça remete a Wallen, que se transforma em Flash e com ajuda de Caitin e Cisco, no laboratório STAR, busca combater o crime. Tudo isso envolto a uma paixão platônica que o jovem, nutre por Iris West, sua irmã adotiva, filha de Joe Weste, detetive que criou ele, já que seu pai respondia a um crime que não cometeu. Aqui começa um mistério, quem é Warison Wells? Quem é o Flash Reverso? Por que esse anti herói quer tanto destruir o Flash?2° temporada: Como na primeira, essa segunda temporada é envolta em mistérios, tantos combates a meta-humanos, como florescer de paixões, decepções de perdas de pessoas queridas. A descoberta de um portal para terras paralelas, com personagens duplicatas de si mesmo. Se na temporada número um existia um velocista contra o Flash, na temporada dois, não é diferente, outro velocista Zoo, que nos faz olhar para essa série e vê como ela gosta de ser misteriosa. O interessante aqui é que entra em ação em alguns episódios personagens de outras séries, como o Arqueiro, em participações especiais direto de Star City, para ajudar em Central City. Já estou contando bastante, não vou dizer quem é Zoo, você deve assistir e descobrir e se surpreender.3° temporada: A mudança aqui é radical, mas sofrimento para Barry Allen e a volta ao passado, para tentar concertar as situações da sua vida, mas com conseqüências no presente e no futuro e o tal ponto de ignição que você vai ouvir muito falar. E o campo de força magnética. Quer saber, sempre o mesmo né, um velocista, atrás de vingança contra o Flash, mais sofrimentos com seus amigos. Dessa vez o inimigo número é um super velocista: Savitar. Alguns episódios são um pouco fora da curva, devido à participação especial mais uma vez de Arqueiro e dessa vez em boa companhia Super Girl e mais outros super-heróis. Vamos então deixar descobrir quem são os vilões, os heróis.A série Flash estreou no dia 07 de outubro de 2014. Seu ator principal tem 27 anos e se chama Grant Gustin, além de ator é cantor e dançarino. Geralmente nos EUA, os jovens são multi-tarefas, é bom lembrar que lá existe a Brodway. O ator que venceu em 2015, o prêmio Teen Choice Awards, da TV FOX, que é votado por telespectadores de 13 a 19 anos.O ator participou ainda de Glee, Arrow, CSI Miami, DC´s Legends of Tomorrow.Mas como o nosso programa foca sempre na literatura escrita, vamos falar um pouco de como surgiu, o Flash. Ele é um personagem criado por Gardner Fox e Harry Lampert e estreou em 1940, no Flash Comics. Se formos olhar para uma cronologia de Flahs, temos nos quadrinhos a sequencia de velocistas heróis, Jay Garrick (1940-1956), Barry Allen (1956-1986, 2008-), Wally West 1986-2006, 2007-) Bart Allen (2006-2007). Se formos olhar pela série vemos que temos apenas a aparição de dois Flahs, Barry e Jay e ao mesmo tempo em locais diferentes.No quadrinho na Era de Ouro, Jay Garrick foi o destaque até a segunda guerra mundial, ai veio a Era de Prata dos Quadrinhos e vêm o Flash como o herói que vemos na Série atingido pelo raio que foi alvo e que saiu do seu laboratório e a Liga da Justiça.Depois tem os quadrinhos dos Flashes a união desses dois mundos em que Jay se encontra com Barry. Depois vem a era do Kid Flash, Wally West, que na série aparece na terceira temporada, filho de Joe e que ganha os poderes, do Savitar. A verdade é que muito do que está nos quadrinhos está na Série de TV, mas da maneira que seja mais interessante para a sequencia das estórias.Agradecimentos a toda audiência deste podcast. Edição e narração Carlinhos Alves, na busca por desbravar o mundo imaginário, às vezes real e duro e às vezes poético e belo, abraço e até uma próxima vez.

A member of the League of Assassins, Onyx decides to give up taking lives to become a vigilante — she's typically an ally of Batman in the comics. The official synopsis of the episode reveals that Onyx will be played by Chastity Dotson (Pitch, Veronica Mars). Her character will lead a rogue black-ops team to break into Kord Industries. It's likely that she'll run into Oliver Queen and Team Arrow during her mission to retrieving a deadly item. http://www.cbr.com/arrow-season-6-onyx/   Arrow's Season 6 Sizzle Reel Teases Deathstroke'sEye Injury (Date: 10 Oct 2017)  A new sizzle reel for the sixth season of the CW's Arrow teases a major moment for the Wilson family. The video introduces Arrow fans to Liam Hall, who will play Joe Wilson, the son of Slade Wilson, otherwise known as the international assassin Deathstroke. It looks like Joe will be on the hunt for revenge, specifically against the man who took his father's eye – Oliver Queen, the Green Arrow himself. http://www.cbr.com/arrow-season-6-sizzle-reel-deathstroke-eye/   Arrow's EP On Prometheus' Victim, Arsenal's Return & Vigilante's True Identity (Date: 12 Oct 2017) CBR spoke with showrunner Wendy Mericle about what she and the rest of her crew have in store for Team Arrow in Season 6. While she wouldn't offer so much as a clue regarding which character met their final fate, Mericle was more than happy to discuss the possibility of seeing Black Siren achieve some level of redemption this season, and hoe excited she is for Roy Harper to return n to Star City. And, she promises, fans can expect a definite answer to a question that's been haunting Oliver and company when the show reveals Vigilante's secret identity once and for all. http://www.cbr.com/arrow-interview-wendy-mericle-vigilante-arsenal-deathstroke/   GENERAL DC TV NEWS Victor Garber to Leave DC's Legends of Tomorrow (Date: 11 Oct 2017) Garber – who plays Martin Stein, one half of Firestorm – will be exiting DC's Legends of Tomorrow during the current season. His departure has been rumored for some months now, and seemed imminent once it was revealed in September that he'd be returning to Broadway in Hello, Dolly! The report states that Garber's exit has been planned meticulously to give Stein a fitting send-off. It's also said he'll remain a series regular throughout the third season, which premiered last night, though he's not likely to return for episodes beyond those he's already filmed. This means Jaxwill need to find another half to remain as the hero Firestorm.  http://www.cbr.com/victor-garber-leaves-dcs-legends-of-tomorrow/   Matt Ryan to Reprise 'Constantine' Role for 2-Part 'Legends of Tomorrow' Arc (Date: 09 Oct 2017) Matt Ryan will reprise his role of demon hunter John Constantine for a two-episode arc on Legends of Tomorrow this season. He will appear in episodes nine and 10 of Legends of Tomorrow season three, which will take place chronologically after his appearance on Arrow and involve a confrontation with the Big Bad. According to executive producer Phil Klemmer, "We knew that an alienated, chain-smoking, bisexual, world-weary demonologist would feel right at home among our Legends."    http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/matt-ryan-constantine-legends-tomorrow-2-part-arc-1047123    Constantine Lights Up With First Look At Animated Series(Date: 08 Oct 2017) John Constantine smokes a cigarette or two, and uses some mild profanity, in the action-filled first look at his upcoming animated series from CW Seed. Debuted at New York Comic Con, the preview shows Matt Ryan, star of NBC's live-action Constantine, return to his role as DC Comics' fan-favorite magician and con man. Constantine certainly appears to be in classic form, as in the sneak peek he's invited several demons to an unconsecrated church, under false pretenses, naturally, where they're to be feasted upon by something else.   http://www.cbr.com/constantine-animated-series-preview/    Legends of Tomorrow: The Dominators Return – With A Twist (Date: 13 Oct 2017) This Halloween, The CW's ragtag band of time-traveling outcasts will encounter a familiar extraterrestrial race when The Dominators return. According to the synopsis for episode four, aptly titled “Phone Home,” the Legends are still dealing with the ramifications of damaging the timeline last season. Now, with Ray's fate hanging in the balance, the team is forced to travel back in time where they discover that a young Dr. Palmer has an even younger Dominator in his possession, which naturally piques the interest of not only the U.S. Government, but the baby alien's protective mother.  http://www.cbr.com/legends-of-tomorrow-dominators-return-atom/   Legends of Tomorrow Sizzle Reel Unleashes Grodd(and Vampires) (Date: 09 Oct 2017)  A new sizzle reel for the upcoming third season of DC's Legends of Tomorrow has been released. The video kicks off right where the second season of Legends left off, with the team having returned to the present day only to find that the world has been overrun with dinosaurs. From there, the reel gets to teasing all the big moments set to debut in season three. The sizzle reel also teases some upcoming episode plots, like a trip to the circus and… Vietnam, where Gorilla Groddmakes an appearance. Then there's the vampires, which look to play a rather large role in the show's third season. The video's end teases the return of Damian Darhk (Neal McDonough).   http://www.cbr.com/dc-legends-of-tomorrow-sizzle-reel/    The Flash: Barry & Iris Undergo Therapy in Upbeat Season 4 Trailer (Date: 11 Oct 2017) The footage shows that working together on Team Flash will require Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) and Iris West (Candice Patton) to attend couples therapy, though the scene is definitely more humorous than one might first expect. The trailer also shows Danny Trejo as Breacherand Neil Sandilands as The Thinker/Clifford DeVoe.  http://www.cbr.com/the-flash-barry-iris-couples-counceling/    The Flash Showrunner Teases Barry Allen's Season 4 Rebirth (Date: 10 Oct 2017) Showrunner Todd Helbing spoke with CBR about what, exactly, Barry's rebirth will entail. We also dug into Caitlin Snow's continuing identity crisis, the series' take on classic DC comics hero the Elongated Man, and the unique threat the Thinker brings to Central City. http://www.cbr.com/the-flash-showrunner-season-4-rebirth-barry-allen/    The Flash boss teases lighter season 4 (Date: 03 Oct 2017) EW's interview with executive producer Andrew Kreisberg. Discusses Barry and Iris's relationship, Barry's rebirth, The Thinker's motivations, Caitlin Snow's journey, plans for Wells, and Cisco and Gypsy.  http://ew.com/tv/2017/10/03/flash-season-4-premiere-spoilers/     FEEDBACK   The Starling Tribune‏ @StarlingTribune  Oct 12 - The whole hour could've been @JulianaHarkavy & @MzKatieCassidy fighting & I would be happy.

During TVLine'sFall Preview Q&A with co-showrunner Wendy Mericle, it was confirmed that Emerson will be playing one of at least two main threats to Oliver Queen.[Text Wrapping Break]“This character that we're having [Michael] play is somewhat similar to people has has played in the past,” Mericle “But we had many conversations with him about how to make it different, and what elements we could bring to the character to change it up.” Whatever Emerson is now up to on Arrow, the bosses are loving what they're seeing. “He is a dream to work with, and I think he's doing an amazing job,” raves Mericle. “We've seen some dailies of some of his episodes and he's just fantastic. He's a really understated, subtle actor, and that brings a different energy on set. It's great.”  https://tvline.com/2017/08/27/arrow-season-6-preview-michael-emersons-mystery-villain/    Ask Ausiello: Spoilers on The Flash, Grey's Anatomy, This Is Us, Scandal, Supernatural, Lucifer, Chi Fire and More (Date: 23 August 2017) Question: Any possibility of having an all-girls mission during Season 6 of Arrow? — “You know, we always talk about that — across all the shows. And it's totally possible,” Arrow boss Marc Guggenheim answers. “But truth be told, I wouldn't want to do it unless we could figure out a way to get Sara (played on Legends by CaityLotz) in there as well. One of my favorite episodes was 406, where we had Speedy, Black Canary and Canary all fighting side-by-side-by side together, and that was a blast. Seeing three badass women was really, really awesome. [An all-girls mission] is on our ‘bucket list,' but I really want to figure out a way to get Sara in there as well.”  http://tvline.com/2017/08/23/this-is-us-season-2-spoilers-jack-kid-young-flashback/    New ArrowverseTrailer Teases A Flash/Legends Crossover (Date: 24 August 2017)  The teaser blends footage from last season with new scenes from each of the four DC/CW shows - Supergirl, The Flash, DC's Legends of Tomorrow and Arrow. It shows Barry Allen and Iris West face to face in a strange, dreamlike sequence. We get a sense for what that other Flash, Wally West, might be up to once Barry is back in the saddle. In a short scene, Kid Flash and Citizen Steel are hanging out after a fight, with Nick Zano'sNate complaining to Wally that the speedster failed to leave him any bad guys to fight.  http://comicbook.com/2017/08/25/new-arrowverse-trailer-teases-a-flash-legends-crossover/    GENERAL DC TV NEWS   The Flash adds Katee Sackhoff as DC Comics villain (Date 21 August 2017) Katee Sackhoff has joined the cast of The Flash in a recurring role, EW has learned exclusively. The Battlestar Galactica alum will play DC Comics villain Amunet Black, a.k.a Blacksmith, a steely and badass boss of an underground black market for supervillains. Amunet uses every means possible, including the long list of metahumans under her thumb, to ensure her illicit enterprise thrives. The actress will first appear in episode 405, interestingly titled “Girls Night Out,” which also serves as a mini-crossover with Arrow: Emily Bett Rickards will also pop up during the hour. http://ew.com/tv/2017/08/21/flash-katee-sackhoff-amunet-season-4/    Supergirl boss: 'Maggie does not die' (Date: 25 August 2017) With Floriana Lima not returning to Supergirl as a series regular, the fate of the Alex-Maggie romance has been in question during the long hiatus, but now we have some definitive news. “Maggie does not die,” executive producer Andrew Kreisberg tells EW. “I'm sure a lot of people are afraid of that. Maggie will continue to exist in the world and we hope that if the opportunity presents itself for her, that she'll come back from time to time.” Floriana decided to move on from the show and will be written out. http://ew.com/tv/2017/08/25/supergirl-maggie-does-not-die/    EP Phil Klemmer Talks Legends Of Tomorrow Season 3 With DCLegendsTV (Date 21 August 2017) According to Klemmer, Jonah Hex has a chance of coming back to Legends. This season promises to be darker and more supernatural, which is where Darhk fits in. About Snart's return, he said, “It will be about as polar opposite as the Snart that he's played on our show. We've got a cool pitch to justify that version of him, which I don't want to give away. But it's going to be really traumatic for Mick Rory, because he has deified this version of his dead partner in his head, and in a way, Snart's return is his greatest wish come true, but the fact that he doesn't get the version that he's held in the back of his mind is deeply unsettling. Rory's made a lot of progress as well in the meantime, but he's certainly not ready to call himself a hero.” http://dclegendstv.com/2017/08/21/ep-phil-klemmer-talks-legends-of-tomorrow-season-3-with-dclegendstv/2/   The Massive DC Universe Animated Film Boxed Set Is Now Available To Order (Date 25 August 2017) The collection is an enormous Blu-ray boxed set that will include all 30 films released up until this point (that means everything but the upcoming Gotham by Gaslight) along with newly released commemorative editions of Wonder Woman and Justice League: The New Frontier as well as all five “DC Showcase” animated shorts – The Spectre, Green Arrow, Jonah Hex, Catwoman and Superman/Shazam: The Return of Black Adam.The DC Universe Original Movies: 10th Anniversary Collection is now available to pre-order on Amazon for $299.99.

And might they do so at a party in anticipation of a certain wedding? — Here's what Flash EP Todd Helbing had to say about Ep 5: “It's really fun. The girls [including a visiting Felicity Smoak] go and have a night out in Central City alone, without the guys. And they get into some trouble.” And to the second part of your Q about the possibility of the outing being a bachelorette party for the potential future Mrs. West-Allen, Helbing responds with a laugh, “Possibly.” http://tvline.com/2017/08/23/this-is-us-season-2-spoilers-jack-kid-young-flashback/    Spoiler Room: Scoop on Grey's Anatomy, Supernatural, The Flash and more (Date 24 August 2017) Any more scoop on The Flash‘s girls night out? — That episode won't be the only girl power we'll be seeing this year. “We're definitely going to see Iris' relationship with Caitlin especially developed this season, which we haven't seen before, which will be really nice for fans,” Candice Patton tells me. “Fans have been wanting to see more female dynamic on the show, and there will definitely be that. They're working closely together. Caitlin has been through so much herself in relationships, and I think if anyone can offer advice, it would be her, so she's there quite often to give Iris advice on her relationship with Barry and how to move forward.” http://ew.com/tv/2017/08/24/spoiler-room-greys-anatomy-supernatural-flash/    Spoiler Room: Scoop on Grey's Anatomy, Supernatural, The Flash and more (Date 24 August 2017) SuperCorp scoop for Supergirl. — “Lena and Kara's friendship will continue to grow,” EP Andrew Kreisberg says. “There's a lot of Lena-Kara adventures early on in this season. The most interesting thing about Lena is that she is so good, and so moral, and believes in second chances, but she comes from this family of truly evil people. As people are going to realize over the course of this season, it doesn't take much to make you bad. People don't just turn evil. They do one small bad thing and then that leads to another, and then to another, and so any time you're watching Lena, you're always wondering, ‘Is this the moment when she does the one small thing?'” http://ew.com/tv/2017/08/24/spoiler-room-greys-anatomy-supernatural-flash/    Supergirl: Annable Offers New Clues About S3 Villain Reign (Date 25 August 2017)  Reign will be a thorn in Supergirl's side during Season 3. At Comic-Con International in San Diego, Reign actress Odette Annable shared new details about her character. “Reign, as most of you know probably, she's a Worldkiller. She was bioengineered in a lab. She was sent from Krypton much like Kara and Clark, but her story is going to be different than any other villain that you've seen on Supergirl Seasons 1 and 2, mostly because she doesn't come to Earth to go on a killing spree,” Annable revealed. “She has a very specific agenda that she is out to do, and you will see that story unfold throughout the season. For me, it's really amazing because it's kind of a heartbreaking story and I think that you'll feel for her.” http://www.cbr.com/supergirl-season-3-reign/      NEXT EPISODE   Link to Promo: (Date: 26 August 2017) http://comicbook.com/2017/08/26/vixen-animated-series-to-premiere-as-movie-on-the-cw/     Episode: Vixen: The Movie (Vixen Seasons 1 and 2)  Air Date: CW SEED / Wednesday, August 30, 2017  Summary: Vixen is based on the DC Character Mari McCabe / Vixen, a costumed superhero crime-fighter with the power to mimic the abilities of any animal that has ever lived on Earth.

Após testemunhar o estranho assassinato de sua mãe e a injusta acusação de seu pai pelo crime, Barry Allen fica sob os cuidados do detetive Joe West e sua filha Iris West. Barry se torna brilhante, mas socialmente, um cientista forense desconhecido trabalhando para o Departamento de Polícia de Central City. Sua obsessão por seu trágico passado faz com que ele fique separado das demais pessoas ao seu redor; ele investiga casos frios, ocorrências paranormais, e vazamentos de ponta de avanços científicos que podem dar uma luz no caso do assassinato de sua mãe. Ninguém acredita em sua descrição do crime — que uma bola de raio com o rosto de um homem invadiu sua casa naquela noite e matou sua mãe — e Allen é forçado a procurar por si mesmo pistas que limpem o nome de seu pai. Quatorze anos depois da morte de sua mãe, uma explosão de um avançado Acelerador de Partículas, durante sua apresentação ao público, banha a cidade com uma forma de radiação previamente desconhecida durante uma tempestade. Barry é atingido por um raio da tempestade e banhado nos produtos químicos de seu laboratório. Acordando depois de um coma de nove meses, ele descobre que tem a habilidade de se mover mais rápido do que qualquer ser humano. O Dr. Harrison Wells, criador e responsável pela falha do Acelerador de Partículas, descreve a natureza especial de Barry como um "meta-humano"; Barry, mais tarde, descobre que ele não é o único que mudou com a radiação. Ele promete usar seus poderes para proteger Central City dos riscos criminais dos meta-humanos. E então, associado por alguns amigos próximos que guardam seu segredo, Barry adquire uma nova personalidade conhecida como Flash. Fonte: wikpedia

Fight scenes & Stunts: Share your thoughts (Stealing from the Flashbacks) Fight with Kovar - Damn!! Ivan Drago baby Fight with the scary masked bank robbers Ragman with the bullet shield Diggle bringing the pain (transition to some diggle chat maybe re: training) Flashbacks: Share your thoughts Dinner with Kovar He is intrigued by Oliver Taiana's mother works for him; children went missing a year ago, so he helped her out Made deal with Bratva “Questioned” Ollie for a week Fight with Ollie   Ollie:   Is he doing enough? As Mayor? As Green Arrow? Been trying to be a hero for four years Scolds recruits - you can't be angry at me being the killer as The Hood and like Vigilante Goes on a date with Susan Williams Diggle Cabin fever - getting antsy because in Arrowcave or Hive Missed JJ's 2nd birthday Works out a lot….probably missing something else too (wink, wink) Bonding with Rene Thea Helps Lance get the help he needs Realizes that Prometheus knows who Ollie is Felicity Uses “Mom” voice on team In the field to help with “robbery” Quentin Lance Resigns as Deputy Mayor Tells Thea about cut and throwing star Agrees to go to rehab Curtis Tries to conquer the salmon ladder, but doesn't Makes odd jokes Tells Ollie to call him “Mr. Terrific” in the field Wild Dog Helps Diggle by arranging birthday party with son and Lyla Still calls Felicity “Blondie,” but is becoming more of a team player Artemis Practices archery Knows what the fighting sticks are Uses the fact that women can't walk the streets without getting harassed to her advantage Mole for Prometheus Ragman One liners Team lines up in formation behind him to protect from bullets Helps Artemis question guy D.A. Adrian Chase Tells robbery suspect that he's “been to hell” Knows where Dunn the bank robber is Likely Vigilante Susan Williams Knows a Russian journalist Plays pool to win Getting Ollie to like and trust her Tells Ollie that he should do things the right way even if it takes time Bratva Gregor made deal with Ollie Likely using Ollie Where's Anatoly??? Prometheus OMG - that last scene! Knows Artemis Michelle's List O'Suspects: (Being bold by eliminating some this week due to developments) Tommy Merlyn Robert Queen Adrian Chase (but more likely to become Vigilante) Billy Malone (he “heard on the street” that Prometheus was a threat to the Arrow; very eager to learn where Green Arrow lives) Helena Bertinelli (but I would rather see her as either Huntress or head of the Bertinelli family) Isabel Rochev Mckenna Hall Shado Slade Wilson (being Deathstroke right away could give his plan away) Talia al Ghul (see this week's news) New: Quentin Lance (likely a red herring) (in rehab) Roy (he's been mentioned, he's had access to arrows, and he might have seen The List) Viktor (SP's add; he did see the list - shown in the season premiere) CURRENT EPISODE DC EASTER EGGS & POP CULTURE REFERENCES   Season 5 Episode 6  “So It Begins” (Date: 10 Nov 2016) Article: http://comicbook.com/2016/11/10/arrow-easter-eggs-and-other-things-you-might-have-missed-in-so-i   Vigilante - But we've done that at least once before — and we think twice, so at this point we think it's pretty well-covered ground that Adrian Chase was in the comics a costumed antihero known as Vigilante before he eventually took his own life out of the remorse he felt for abandoning the rule of law he had sworn to uphold his entire adult life. The Torah - “Is that from the Torah?” Oliver asks Rory before the Moby-Dick metaphor starts. That's a not-so-subtle nod to Ragman's Jewish heritage, which has been mentioned before. It's worth a note that Rory and Felicity's Jewish heritage makes the current incarnation of Team Arrow probably the most diverse groups of superheroes ever assembled on TV, with Oliver being the only non-ethnic male on the team. It's happened without much in the way of the fanfare and attention these things usually get, so it seems worth at least a mention. Channel 52 - Here, it's Channel 52's news story when Oliver is checking on Dunn. McGuire's ? - It's not clear whether McGuire's (which could also be Maguire's or McGwire's) bar is actually meant to be a reference, but if it is, it's likely to Bridget McGuire, who was an art director on Arrow's first two seasons. ..IS THAT A 'ROCKY IV' REFERENCE? - Because it's Dolph Lundgren playing a big Russian, we're going to be looking for references to Rocky IV pretty much every week until we're sure we've seen one. That said, wrapping his hands in gauze like you do before you put your boxing gloves on (yes, we know his hands were injured. Still!), and then having him unleash a hail of haymakers on Oliver carries a little bit of an Ivan Drago context to it, doesn't it? John Jr. - This is the first time we've seen John Diggle, Jr. actually appear onscreen! He's a cute kid. He also, if you remember, used to be Sara Diggle (named for the then-dead-now-better Sara Lance) before Barry Allen traveled back in time and changed history in the "Flashpoint" event. HUB CITY - "The Marshals are halfway to Hub City by now," Lyla Michaels tells Diggle. Hub City, a fictional city in the DC Universe, is best known as the home to The Question, a self-taught urban shaman. While The Question didn't appear when Oliver visited the city last year, mystic Esrin Fortuna seemed like she had a similar role (and since there was a female Question for a while, some fans on Twitter briefly wondered whether that could be what we were seeing unfold). Moby Dick is a novel written by Herman Melville in 1851. The narrator is Ishmael, and he recounts his time on the whaling ship Pequod under the command of Captain Ahab. Ahab recklessly pursues the white whale, Moby Dick, noted for destroying whaling ships. Ahab's wooden leg is a result of an encounter with Moby Dick. SP's add: Judge Balderama - Oscar Balderama.

The video reveals a few glimpses of the “Arrow”-verse's latest threat: yellow, mind-controlling aliens with needle-like teeth and large red spots on their foreheads. Eagle eyes will spot a glimpse of Deathstroke. Link: http://www.cbr.com/new-arrowverse-crossover-promo-offers-first-look-at-the-dominators/ All in the Family (Date: 18 Nov 2016) Highlights from the article in Entertainment Weekly: The crossover story involves the Dominators, mind-controlling space invaders alarmed by Earth's surging population of metahumans. 15 characters from the 4 shows will assemble in an aeronautics facility that's part of STAR labs. This is when Barry Allen introduces Supergirl to the group. At first Diggle is not sure why Supergirl is special, but gets impressed when she hovers. Berlanti is not a fan of the shows being called the “Berlantiverse.” According to him, “There are just so many people that are also part of this. Plus, you never want anything named after you that people could be upset or angry about.” The creators like that the shows are steeped in genuine relationship drama and that they are about something. “These shows have to work on multiples levels,” says Berlanti, “You want them to be enjoyable. But if they're not about something, why are you showing up to work every day and asking everybody to pour their heart and soul into a story if it's only about the Flash fighting a villain of the week?” As for bumps in the road the shows have had? Berlanti says, “We certainly made errors along the way. But that's been part of the fun, too.” Tidbits about each show after the crossover: Arrow - Prometheus should be unmasked soon. “Always in our midseason finales, we like to revisit the big bad,” hints Berlanti. The Flash - The annual Christmas episode is set to be tearful and will also flesh out villains Savitar and Dr. Alchemy. Legends: Captain Cold and Malcolm Merlyn join the Legion of Doom. Supergirl: A cliffhanger teases the introduction of a famous Superman-Supergirl baddie that has been referenced before.

When asked if he was having fun doing the show, Lundgren replied, “Yes, it has been a blast. It's fun to play this character.

Savitar has the ability to transfer speed from one being to another. Thus, he's able to power an entire army of ninjas with energy from the Speed Force, using them to steal speed from existing speedsters. We soon learn that Savitar is a self-proclaimed god who formed a Speed Force-obsessed cult for himself, developing a messiah complex along the way. Savitar got his powers amidst the Cold War as a fighter pilot that accidentally broke the sound barrier.

The footage shows the Justice League scrambling to end a global phenomena being caused by dark magic. When it comes to casting, Justice League Dark nabbed several big names from the DC Animated Universe. Jason O'Mara will voice Batman while Matt Ryan will play Constantine. Zatanna will be voiced by Camilla Luddington, Deadman by Nicholas Turturro, and Etrigan by Ray Chase. Rosario Dawson will play Wonder Woman, and Superman will be voiced by Jerry O'Connell. Justice League Dark is expected to hit DVD, Blu-ray, and Digital HD in early 2017.

(Date: 15 Nov 2016) In addition to the arrival of the pointy-eared antagonists, the teaser also included the first look at Citizen Steel's helmet, the return of Deathstroke — and the first glimpse of a new, intimidating logo we haven't seen before. Now, the question arises: who's icon is that? In a recent report, it was revealed that the CW version of the Dominators utilize a form of mind control, a departure from their comic book counterparts. The logo seen in the trailer has us thinking, perhaps there's another, longer-lasting reason the alien invaders will be employing this technique in their battle for Earth. In the comics, the Kobra Cult is a terrorist organization dedicated to controlling the world. In short, exactly the sort of group the Arrowverse loves to introduce as foils to its heroes, and one whose debut during a crossover of this magnitude could lay the seeds for multiple storylines across future seasons for every DC/CW show.
