This was a straight-up action story, making it a good follow-up to the last episode's supernatural thriller. Seeing a newer character like Onomatopoeia in a period piece was cool.
The episode wasn't bad per se, but it's puzzling why they'd change Harley so much. Like with Penguin, making a new original character in a similar story would make more sense.
This wasn't quite as good as the Clayface episode but it was still pretty darn good. It's a perfect example of a show being dark and gritty without going over the top.
I think most fans would agree that Christina Ricci could probably play Catwoman in a live-action film. There are also more puzzle pieces in play for future episodes like the police's increasing frustration with Batman. It's also likely we'll see the villains again, whether they escape individually or en masse.
This was a VERY solid premiere. The show is still a very well-done period piece and a great introduction to this new entry to the Batman mythos.
We got our first look at Batman: Caped Crusader along with a voice cast list. Plus, our obligatory review of The Acolyte Episode 6.
This looks like a period piece and a return to the noir roots of the character, like how Bob Kane originally conceived the character. The bad guys have Tommy guns and the cars look to be from the 1940s.
X-Men '97 wrapped up a 10-episode season with its three-part "Tolerance is Extinction" episode. We look at the story and where things stand with the finale.
Asteroid heading for Earth, literal mind-warfare, AND time travel to boot. It's almost every sci-fi trope wrapped up in one heckuva season finale!

The following contains spoilers for the X-Men ’97 Episode “Tolerance is Extinction Part 2!” Do not proceed if you wish to avoid spoilers!

Suffice it to say this is a worthy addition to the big-budget blockbuster Marvel Studios lineup. If you liked the trailer you will probably like this movie. Scott's life seems to have come full circle from a guy who couldn't get anything right to a guy who has a solid circle of friends and confidence in himself.
A look at the first trailer for The Flash along with other fun ads that ran during that football game everybody watches but can't say the name of...

The long delayed but highly anticipated movie will finally hit theaters after being in development for over a decade.
Marvel released the first teaser trailer for another upcoming MCU series, Secret Invasion. Samuel L. Jackson returns to reprise the role of former SHIELD director Nick Fury.
With all of the cancelations going on for WBD and HBO Max projects, it's refreshing to see a fan-favorite series getting renewed.
This was a fine episode but it really is only notable for the returns of Blonsky and Wong. It seems that Wong showing up in just about any MCU environment will never get old.
The series was announced last year with JJ Abrams, Bruce Timm, and Matt Reeves serving as executive producers.
This was a solid debut episode. I actually like how simplified the story is on how Jen became She-Hulk.
The Warner Bros,/Discovery merger has already left its mark. Batgirl has ben cancelled and The Arrowverse as we know it is ending. Plus, a look at Andor, the latest Star Wars TV Series
The film was originally set for release on HBOMax in 2023 as a follow-up to The Flash. However, not only will the film not be released on the streaming service, it may not be released at all!
