DC TV Report for week ending 12/25/2021

 -        Li’l Eddie O’Hare

Welcome to the DC TV Report for the week ending Saturday December 25th, 2021. I'm here to bring you recaps, news and commentary for all live-action television shows based on DC Comics. There were no new episodes this week but I do have a retro pick.

Retro Pick - Aired 9/13/1997

The New Batman Adventures - Series Premiere "Holiday Knights" 1) Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy hypnotized Bruce Wayne, kidnapped him, and made him pay for a holiday shopping spree. 2) Batgirl spotted Detective Bullock and Montoya undercover as a mall Santa and an elf staking out kid shoplifters that turned out to be Clayface. 3) Batman and Robin headed to Gotham Square to stop the Joker from committing a mass murder on New Year's Eve. Last Minute Reveal: Jim Gordon enjoyed his annual New Year's cup of coffee with Batman!

This was the premiere episode of the retooled Batman: The Animated Series that Kids WB paired with their animated Superman. Almost all of the original voice cast returned and the characters were given simpler, more streamlined designs. While reactions to this series as a whole are mixed, this episode is definitely a high point. The anthology approach allows us to get a broad view of the new Gotham and establish that everything you loved about the previous series is intact.

Ed’s Winner for the Week:  Santa Bullock - As if the idea of Harvey Bullock in an ill-fitting Santa suit wasn't enough, seeing him get honest with a kid after realizing he put their father in the slammer made me bust a gut laughing.

Final Farewell

After almost a year of maintaining this blog after the podcast ended, it is with a heavy heart that I have decided not to continue after this entry. Reporting on the various DC TV universes has been one of the most fun and rewarding efforts of my creative life. While I will never stop watching these shows, I believe it is best to step back and focus on other endeavors. I would like to send a special thanks to Sara Netzley, the best co-host anyone could ask for and Bill Sweeney, for providing us with this platform. Thanks to all of the listeners and readers. I hope to reconnect with all of you again soon!

Welcome to the DC TV Report for the week ending Saturday December 18th, 2021. I'm here to bring you recaps, news and commentary for all live-action television shows based on DC Comics. There was 1 new episode this week and it was a finale.

Tuesday - 12/14/2021

The Flash - Midseason 8 Finale "Armageddon, Part 5" 1) After Barry succeeded in reversing the Reverse Flashpoint, Thawne asked Team Flash to save him from fading into oblivion. 2) Green Arrow Mia Queen traveled to Central City from the future, looking for her missing brother. Last Minute Reveal: At CCPD, Bart and Nora appeared in a precinct Christmas photo from 2014!

Ed’s Winner for the Week:  Those Boots - The only hard news to come out of the last DC Fandome was that Barry would finally get to wear his signature golden boots. It was nice to finally see them in action and funny to see Chester try to justify them as event-shaking tech.

 -        Li’l Eddie O’Hare

Welcome to the DC TV Report for the week ending Saturday December 11th, 2021. I'm here to bring you recaps, news and commentary for all live-action television shows based on DC Comics. There was 1 new episode this week.

Tuesday - 12/7/2021

The Flash - S08E04 "Armageddon, Part 4" 1) In 2031, everyone was excitedly preparing for the wedding of Iris West and the Flash Eobard Thawne. 2) Barry learned Thawne had switched places with him in the timeline and went to Damien Darkh for help reversing it. 3) Alex Danvers learned Chester and Allegra had a one night stand ten years ago and demanded they get back together. Last Minute Reveal: The thwarted Thawne ran to the time room and demanded Gideon help him change things!

Ed’s Winner for the Week:  Love - It was what the whole world needed this week on The Flash. Barry Allen, the Paragon of Love, used his title to inspire the world again. Not only did Iris's love for Barry push him to Mach 20, but Damien Darkh fought for Barry out of love for his daughter, Batwoman was inspired by Iris to adopt a kid and Allegra was bullied by Alex and Ryan Choi into admitting she loved Chester. However, there is still one chapter left in this five-part event. So, let's see if all that Love can really hold up.

Edgar Hoover in a progressive speakeasy. 2) Astra, Spooner and Gideon snuck onto a train and befriended a nightclub singer.

Ed’s Winner for the Week:  The Batwing Suit Failsafe - Luke got the AI with his dad’s voice working again on the Batwing suit and was told that he is not ready to take it into the field with Batwoman. He is still dealing with the trauma of getting shot and it is brave of this series to admit that being a superhero is not for everybody. Luke's tech skills still make him invaluable to team Batwoman and while I am sure this is not the last we have seen of Luke in that suit, this excursion into his mental health feels authentic and unique.

DC TV Report for week ending 7/3/2021

 -        Li’l Eddie O’Hare

 

Welcome to the DC TV Report for the week ending Saturday July 3rd, 2021. I'm here to bring you recaps, news and commentary for all live-action television shows based on DC Comics. There were 3 new episodes this week including one finale.

Sunday - 6/27/2021

DC's Legends of Tomorrow - S06E08 "Stressed Western" 1) The Legends entered the rowdy Fist City, Oklahoma of 1891 and found a happy vice-free town run by a crooked sheriff who had control of a massive, gold-secreting alien space-worm. 2) Sara asked Ava not to mention the whole "alien-hybrid clone" thing to the rest of the group. 3) Spooner and Astra got on each other's nerves. 4) Zari called out Beyrad for his poor taste in women. 5) Constantine started nagging Gary for clues about the Fountain of Imperium. Last Minute Reveal: Ava told Nate and Beyrad they couldn't keep the Cowboy Narrator!

Batwoman - Season 2 Finale "Power" 1) Black Mask turned out the lights in Gotham after telling citizens to mask up and wreak havoc. 2) Ryan had no confidence in herself without the Batsuit and teamed up with Alice to confront Circe. 3) Mary encountered Tavaroff roided out on Venom and Snakebite. 4) Luke discovered his father had built him a personalized Batsuit. Last Minute Reveal: While the other bat trophies floated in the river, Poison Ivy's plant began to grow and spread!

Tuesday - 6/27/2021

The Flash - S07E15 "Enemy at the Gates" 1) Nora West-Allen appeared to Barry in a dream and convinced him that Iris was preggers. 2) A gaggle of Godspeeds starting causing trouble around Central City, trying to draw out Barry and leech his speed powers. 3) Allegra convinced Ultraviolet to allow Caitlin perform surgery to repair the damage done to her vocal cords. 4) Frost was caught off guard by Chillblaine's romantic interest in her. Last Minute Reveal: Joe and Kramer were on a stake out and their car exploded!

 

Ed’s Winner for the Week:  The Havarak - Legends delivered again this week, this time in the form of a hundred-foot-long alien worm that sweats gold. It was scary and crazy and just the sort of thing you would expect from the most fun DC TV show. I was especially impressed by the CG effects of the monster.
