"METROPOLIS" -A SUPERMAN PREQUEL TV SERIES

It has been announced that a new tv show is coming to the DC streaming service, and that show is called "Metropolis". The show is set to center on Lois Lane as a reporter finding all the criminal activity with Lex Luthor in Metropolis.

So to start off, this feels like a not so great idea. It feels like Gotham without Bruce Wayne, but even if Kal-El was in the show, it would just be a Smallville 2.0; something that doesn't need to be made as we could just watch Smallville if we wanted to. I personally do not know any Superman villains apart from Lex Luthor, that is in Metropolis, that Lois can follow in, in a series.

This series ultimately feels like they wanted to make a Superman tv series but couldn't. We've seen this before with Supergirl and then Krypton, and now Metropolis. The other two shows are interesting, Supergirl is a show which has defined the character, and Krypton seems interesting with Hawkgirl and Adam Strange, but Metropolis does not have much of a selling character point.

In conclusion, this Metropolis tv series has a 13 episode order for the DC streaming service, and this just adds to the expanding series of original content that will be on the service. This may turn into a great series we'll have to wait and see. I would like to hear your thoughts on this announcement down in the comments below.

THE FLASH "CAUSE AND XS" REVIEW

Season 5 Episode 14: Hey everyone, we are back with a brand new episode of the Flash, directed by Rachael Talalay, and Killer Frost herself, Danielle Pannabaker. In this episode we see Nora get herself caught in a time loop, and with Barry out of the picture, she has no idea on what to do. So spoilers ahead for this episode, let's recap. The episode starts off with Cisco finding a meta-human cure, however, it needs a month to be synthesized, so Barry takes it into the speed force for an hour, as time moves differently in there. With Barry gone, the team goes to do separate things. Cisco goes on a date with Kamilla, Sherloque helps Caitlin with some things, and Iris goes to write a story at her office. At her office, Iris is captured by Cicada, who takes her on the rooftop. After getting an alert, Nora runs to the rooftop where Killer Frost breaches in, and Cicada kills Caitlin.

YOUNG JUSTICE OUTSIDERS PART ONE REVIEW

Image
Season 3, Episodes 1-13 I was going to do weekly reviews, but then I didn't know if I would do all three episodes in one review, or three separate ones, but nevertheless, here we are with the review on the first half of season three. Spoilers ahead for the first 13 episodes of the season. Just to recap: two years after season two, some members of the Justice League are off in space, while the heroes on Earth are under watch by the United Nations and Lex Luthor. When half the members of the Justice League divide during a meta-human trafficking crisis, Dick Grayson has to suit up as Nightwing and assemble a small team known as the "Outsiders" of Superboy, Artemis, Oracle, and Black Lightning to stop the trafficking crisis with the help of a few other new recruitments. So to start off, the time jump between this season and the last was great. It wasn't too long, compared to the last five year time jump, however, it was long enough for some of these characters

RICK AND MORTY VINDICATORS 3: THE RETURN OF WORLDENDER REVIEW

Image
Season 3 Episode 4: Back with another episode of Rick and Morty to review, Rick and Morty: Infinity Saw we have to, so spoilers ahead, let's do a small recap. The episode has Morty and Rick going to help the Vindicators to defeat Worldender, a being of ultimate power who is here to end all life. During their time, Rick gets drunk and blacks out. When the Vindicators, Morty and Rick go to fight Worldender, drunk Rick killed him and he sets up a classic game of saw for the Vindicators where all the members get picked off one by one, with Rick, Morty, and Supernova surviving and ending with a dance party. This episode was a parody of the Avengers/Guardians of the Galaxy and Saw films. More the Avengers films as to how everything is hyped up and glorified, however, doesn't live up to expectations, such as the villains. The Vindicators were interesting characters, as for long they lasted, we had the Star-lord rip off (Christian Slater), rocket raccoon ripoff, Crocubot (Mau
