D.C.Reviews

The infinity war to end all infinity wars has arrived and is it worth the wait? the movie the MCU has been building towards for the past 10 years is here and it will definitely please hardcore fans of the MCU but for the more casual movie goers I think it may just be another superhero movie that while is action packed relies way too heavily on silly jokes and pace grinding moments. The performances here are as you'd expect flawless. All the actors present are well into their roles in the MCU and it shows. Robert Downey Jr is his usually brilliant self as Tony Stark planning to finally wed Pepper Potts it looks like he may be finally settling down.. Benedict Cumberbatch gets to flex his magical muscle a lot more which was great to see, he plays a whole host of magical tricks on both the good guys and the bad guys. Tom Holland is as good as ever as Spiderman. Complete with a completely upgraded Iron Spider get up he really is brilliant in the role. Everyone else is also really g...

Be warned there will be *SPOILERS* involved in this review. With that being said let's get into it This week's episode begins in Russia as we see 4 people walk out a club during the late hours of the night. Turns out one of the guys is carrying Vertigo on him and this is when the Green Arrow shows up. Shooting the guy right through the elbow scattering his supposed 'friends' in the process. Oliver takes the guy to a big fancy house of some sorts and this is where he lifts Anatoli's ban from the Bratva. His plan? to go see Anatoli and hope he agrees to help him take down Diaz. And go to meet him he does as Anatoli and some of his men are watching a baseball game on TV he goes to get a beer but when he returns they are all knocked out. Oliver appears from the background and tells him that he can return home now that his ban from the Bratva has been lifted. Anatoli of course is having none of this and has Oliver placed in chains. More on this situation later.  R...

Be warned there will be *SPOILERS* involved in this review. With that being said let's get into it This week's episode of The Flash may be simple in it's premise and overall narrative but it does offer a lot of insight and hints into the remainder of the season. It begins in the time vault as we see Harry Wells talking more with Gideon. He learns that the use of the thinking cap infused with dark matter has corrupted his brain and soon he will not be able to remember a number of things. Harry really did mess up on this and it shows as later in the episode Cisco wants to make a 2nd thinking cap but right away you can see Harry's reaction to this and how eager is he for Cisco not to go through with it. Harry goes as far to construct the cap but ends up rigging it in a way that it'll overload once on Cisco's head. And without a clean power source anywhere in the area Cisco will have no choice but to concede. And he does for a while that is as he ends up findin...

Be warned there will be *SPOILERS* involved in this review. With that being said let's get into it This week's episode of Supergirl is an emotional one and it begins as we see Samantha who is in Lena Luthor's care. Sam awakens and refuses to believe just what Lena is telling her. Lena shows her newspaper articles of the destruction Reign has caused and continued to cause before Sam came to Lena seeking for her help. Lena knows that Sam is Reign and she doesn't plan on leaving her out of her cell anytime soon. More on this situation later.  The episode really kicks into gear however as everyone is playing charades at Kara's apartment but of course it's short lived as a fight has broken out at the bar everyone frequently visits. There's a genuinely hilarious moment when Kara about to fly off as she usually does refuses to rip open her shirt because as she says 'I like this shirt' it was something small but hilarious to me. At the bar and a telepat...

Be warned there will be *SPOILERS* involved in this review. With that being said let's get into it The Dragon. Quite the appropriate name for this Ricardo Diaz centered episode. Even the Arrow logo is changed to a Dragon Symbol which was a really nice touch. That being said the episode begins in an orphanage where Diaz is after his father left him. A young Diaz is being bullied in the orphanage by another older kid who sets a picture of Diaz's father on fire and throws the remains into a bin. More on the bully later.  It all begins in Bludhaven however as Diaz and Laurel await the arrival of a member of The Quadrant. The Quadrant are an organization who run all 4 corners of the country hence the name The Quadrant. Diaz meets with the leader of the group's son and he makes him jumps threw plenty of hoops before he can even meet the actual board members. He makes him do some recon on an informant of theirs who has been placed under FBI investigation. Diaz does this but...

Be warned there will be *SPOILERS* involved in this review. With that being said let's get into it This week's episode of Gotham begins as we see Barbara still in Ra's Al Ghul's war room the same room from last week and within seconds she gets a surprise attack from the league of sisters. It's all a test however as they try to truly know if Barbara has learned to acclaim her now found power yet. She hasn't and this upsets them. Skip to Bruce and Selina who are in Bruce's newly bought car (Batmobile) and they are going to meet Tabitha who has asked Selina for help and also she told her to bring Bruce along. She agrees but little does she know what is truly in store for the man who we know will become Batman one day. As they arrive they are surrounded by the same men from last week who had kidnapped Tabitha. They are loyal followers of Ra's Al Ghul and right in the middle of the room lays his corpse waiting to be brought back to life. Why do they need...

Be warned there will be *SPOILERS* involved in this review. With that being said let's get into it This week's episode of The Flash begins as we see Barry and Ralph go to investigate the bus where all 12 meta's were created earlier in the season when Barry was brought out of the speed force by his friends. They search the bus for clues and Ralph finds his old belly burger card which was funny but then he remembers a mysterious man who was on the bus that same day where all 12 meta's were created. As Ralph tells Barry of this he notices a bunch of dark matter build up in one place left by this same guy Ralph was on about. Turns out his name is Edwin Gaust also known as The Folding Man and he is the 12th and final meta. It's later learned that he as the ability to shift between pocket dimensions much like The Thinker can do and this is where Ralph hatches a plan. A plan to infiltrate Devoe's lair and end all this once and for all. Barry however is against thi...

Everyone deserves a proper love story in their life. One that they'll remember forever and ever but for Simon Spier it's a little more complicated than that. Love,Simon tells the story of the before mentioned Simon Spier a normal run of the mill guy going to high school. He hangs out with his friends chills with his family and does everything else a normal guy of his age would do. But he's got one big secret..he's gay! Love,Simon is directed by Greg Berlanti (Arrow, Flash and Supergirl fame) and it captures the nature of one coming out to not only their parents but their friends absolutely perfect. You really do feel for Simon throughout the movie and it helps as he is played to perfection by Nick Robinson. He's incredibly likable at first but there's so much more to the character than just meets the eye it really is amazing. He is backed by some really good performances from his fellow cast mates including Jennifer Garner who plays his mom and Josh Duhamel...

Be warned there will be *SPOILERS* involved in this review. With that being said let's get into it Supergirl finally returns after it's long hiatus away to fit in Legends Of Tomorrow's remaining episodes. With that show now finished until October Kara Zor El is free to return and what an emotionally charged episode to come back with. It begins as we see Kara pumping up all her friends. We got Alex, James, Winn, Jon and even Jon's father. Turns out she's pumping them up for some karaoke and what follows is both hilarious and adorable in a sense. It's mainly Kara who's adorable well because she's Kara and she's always like this. But we're treated to some karaoke by everyone including Jon's father who really nailed it I thought. It's when Winn is just about to do his song that a special bulletin comes on the news. Turns out his father Winslow Schott Sr has been found dead in prison. Winn drops the mic (literally) and storms out into the...

Be warned there will be *SPOILERS* involved in this review. With that being said let's get into it This weeks's episode begins inside the SCPD facility as we see Green Arrow in action against a bunch of cops all under Diaz's thumb. But within moments I realize something about Oliver he's in his old Arrow suit from season 1 and that really is the basis of this episode. It's a nice throwback to previous seasons even if it does come at the cost of Oliver being drugged by Vertigo but more on that later.  At the bunker Oliver and Felicity talk about the possible impeachment of the mayor and after noticing something about the SCPD camera feed Felicity learns of Diaz's location prompting Oliver to want to go it alone. This is when Dig walks in having been told by Felicity to come see her about his implant as it needs upgrading. Turns out it doesn't need upgrading it was just her way of getting Oliver and Dig to talk and they do but it's short lived. Oliver...

Be warned there will be *SPOILERS* involved in this review. With that being said let's get into it Where to even begin with this week's Gotham? the show has always been crazy and not afraid to hold back on things but this episode just takes the cake (in the best way possible)  It begins as we see the newly elected Mayor meeting with some other elite members of Gotham's board. This is short lived however as Mr Freeze and the Mad Hatter enter the room taking the mayor hostage in the process. Side not I like how Mr Freeze has a now more slightly robotic voice it's a nice little touch. Freeze and Hatter take the mayor to a van located outside the building and inside lay Jerome and his crew including Penguin (more on him later), Scarecrow and Firefly. More hostages get taken to the same van soon after and this is when the episode really kicks into gear as Jerome has Scarecrow hit one of the victims with the same gas that we saw end last week's episode. Of course she...

Be warned there will be *SPOILERS* involved in this review. With that being said let's get into it The Flash returns after what has seemed like an age away and while this episode isn't amazing by any means it was a fun ride to go along on.  It begins as we see Barry and Ralph fighting the Thinker! or at least we think it is until Barry tells Ralph to stop and it turns out it's just a hologram created by Cisco to try and aid them in battle against the Izzy Bowan host of Clifford Devoe. Ralph is in true style cracking jokes a plenty which annoys Barry to no end. He even says that him Cisco and Barry should form a three man comedic superhero act that ''we could bring to DC comics'' which was just absolutely hilarious to me. All 3 walk into the main area of Star Labs and Harry still using his Thinking cap manages to locate and identify one of the remaining bus meta's that both team Flash and Devoe are after. Her name is Janet Petty and her powers in...

Be warned there will be *SPOILERS* involved in this review. With that being said let's get into it The season finale of DC's Legends Of Tomorrow has come and gone and with it some really memorable and entertaining moments not to mention the return of some past characters.  It begins pretty much where it ended last week as Mallus gets free from his prison and vessel Nora Dahrk and right away we're thrown into a fight between the demon and the 6 totem bearers. With Wally trying his best to somehow subdue Mallus the rest of the legends focus their attacks on him but to no real avail. This is when Rip Hunter intervenes removing the time drive from the wave rider with a plan to use it to contain Mallus for the time being giving the legends time to come up with a proper plan of attack. But while the time drive will contain the demon for a short period it will indefinitely kill Rip which leads to some flashbacks from season 1 and 2 and an emotional moment is shared between Ri...

Be warned there will be *SPOILERS* involved in this review. With that being said let's get into it I can't believe what I'm about to say but Arrow went and did it. They delivered one of the best and most emotional based episodes of any DC show this season.  The episode begins as we see an SCPD truck led by Dinah who are on the hunt for Anatoli and his men. After learning of their location they go to try and take him in finally. Green Arrow and Spartan are also on hand and help with the successful arrest. Back at SCPD and Captain Hill questions Dinah about the arrest and while she doesn't seem too impressed she tells her that she did a good job. Of course all of this is short lived as the D.A. walks into the room and tells Oliver that Anatoli is to be let go ASAP as there is no real evidence against him. Both Captain Hill and the D.A are under Diaz's thumb as we know but this angers Oliver to no end and Dinah also who just felt like she accomplished something re...

Be warned there will be *SPOILERS* involved in this review. With that being said let's get into it This week's episode of Gotham begins pretty much where it left off last week as we see Bruce Wayne going to the address that he had gotten last week. The same address where Jerome is going. Bruce with a serious glint in his eye enters a room only to find a man who is under Jervis Tetch's control. This is when Gordon busts in and shoots the clock next to the man to stop Jervis's spell but it's no use as the man has a pocket watch on him which leads to him blowing himself up in the process. I guess you can say this was quite the EXPLOSIVE start?! (I'm sorry that was terrible) At Penguin's house we see Jerome and his newly named 'Legion Of Horrible's' having their very first mandatory brunch meeting hench the title of the episode. Filled with so many familiar faces like Mr Freeze, Penguin. Firefly Scarecrow Mad Hatter and Jerome himself this was...
