Welcome to the DC TV Report for the week ending Saturday May 29th, 2021. I'm here to bring you recaps, news and commentary for all live-action television shows based on DC Comics. There were 4 new episodes this week, including a series finale. Lucifer season 5B will be covered in a separate post later this week.

The FlashS07E11 "Family Matters, Part 2" 1) Barry and Iris tried hiding the elemental forces from Speed Force Nora while a powerful force storm ravaged Central City. 2) Cecille got hit by lightning and it made Joe feel useless. 3) Frost broke out of prison and picked a fight with Chillblaine. Last Minute Reveal: Iris headed for the bedroom to start a family and Barry loved that impulse!

Superman and Lois - S01E07 "Man of Steel" 1) Jordan stayed at home trying to adjust to his new super hearing while Jonathan covered for him with Sarah at school. 2) Lois and Clark confronted Marcus Bridgewater a.k.a. Captain Luthor about his true identity and his interest in Morgan Edge. 3) Lana promised Lois to keep her eyes open at work and was assigned by Morgan Edge to recruit people for a leadership program. Last Minute Reveal: John Henry Irons sat in his D.O.D. cell think about how he promised his daughter he would be right back!

 

Ed’s Winner for the Week:  The Man We Thought Was Captain Luthor (WolĂ© Parks) - What a Holy Shit Moment! The writers at Superman and Lois pulled off an amazing character reveal that added another dimension to a show that already become hands down the best DC show of the season. It is so nice to see one of the favorite characters of my childhood finally debut in the Arrowverse. Here is hoping he can finally get out of Shaquille O'Neal's shadow.
