Welcome to the DC TV Report for the week ending Saturday June 26th, 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 1 penultimate episode.

Sunday - 6/20/2021

DC's Legends of Tomorrow - S06E07 "Back to the Finale Part II" 1) Mick caught up with the cloned Sara to help her try to stop Bishop from creating an army of evil Super Saras. 2) The Legends followed Beyrad back in time and tried to help him prevent Sara from being abducted in the first place. Last Minute Reveal: Sara proposed, Ava said yes and a mannequin exploded into fireworks!

Batwoman - Season 2 Penultimate "Kane, Kate" 1) Everyone was so happy to have Kate back that they did not realize she was putting on an act and stealing Bat secrets for Roman Sionis. 2) Alice was inconsolable in the wake of Ocean's death. 3) Ryan was worried her time as Batwoman was over and dove head first into trying to prove Roman Sionis was Black Mask. Last Minute Reveal: Circe looked maniacally at the Batsuit as she scuffed it up with Kryptonite!

Tuesday - 6/22/2021

The Flash - S07E14 "Rayo de Luz" 1) While Barry took Iris on a baby-making vacation, Allegra pulled Team Flash into her crusade to reform her intensely evil cousin Ultraviolet. 2) Joe decided to confront Kristen Kramer with the evidence he found about her military career. Last Minute Reveal: Frost tracked down Chillblaine, hoping to drag him back to prison but was shocked to learn that he turned state's evidence to get an early release!

Superman and Lois - S01E11 "A Brief Reminiscence In-Between Cataclysmic Events" 1) Young Clark Kent created the Fortress of Solitude, learned his heritage and returned home before moving to Metropolis, saving people as Superman and falling in love with Lois Lane. 2) Clark realized he was in a simulation created so Tal-Rho could learn his history. 3) Kyle realized he'd been a real jerk and apologized to Lana and Lois. 4) Sarah decided she wanted to be more than friends with Jordan. Last Minute Reveal: As Lois called John Henry Irons for help, Zeta-Rho's torture seamed to turn Superman evil!

Ed’s Winner for the Week: Back to Their Roots - All four shows saw characters looking back literally or figuratively on the moments that started their journey. The Legends went back the end of last season in a futile effort to prevent the current one. Batwoman found herself back in her van again, afraid that Kate had taken the mantle back from her. Team Flash saw Ultraviolet confront the madman who gave her her powers. Finally, we got to relive Superman and Lois's journey from the beginning until Clark realized it was not real.
