Bustronaut Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 Batwoman was great! Probably the best Berlantiverse pilot at the very least. IDK where the "bad actress" label came from for Rose, but the voice over could do with some more work I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eivion Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 Thought Flash had a solid return with Barry and Iris still dealing with the loss of Nora. Its nice seeing them slowly build toward Ralph getting to meet his future wife. The big bad of his first half of the season seems ok. Still a bit too early to say much. 4 hours ago, Bustronaut said: Batwoman was great! Probably the best Berlantiverse pilot at the very least.

I find her at minimum competent so the bad actress talk feels weird to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bustronaut Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 I can't fault the FLASH premiere at all because Chester goddamn Runk was on my TV. I really hope he's a recurring character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bustronaut Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 Also THAT music cue toward the end of the episode might have been THE moment of the entire Flash run. An overarching statement from the new showrunner. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't say this lightly, but that was up there with "run Barry, run" or Flash/Arrow/Firestorm vs Reverse Flash as an all-time great moment on the show. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NikoBaltimore Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 (edited) Holy crap that's somehow better seeing it the second time. I admit to not seeing the first season of Flash but this has to be one of my favorite moments from the show. And you know they've been wanting to use that song for the longest time. That's just fan-freaking-tastic. I gave Batwoman a shot and it didn't long until I changed the DVR to make it a series recording. The acting seemed fine to me and I love how they're doing it. What sold my wife on the show and had her pumping her fist in the air was this: Kate: I need you to fix his suit. Luke: The suit is literal perfection. Kate: It will be. When it fits a woman. Holy cow was that a killer line. Between this show and Supergirl those are ones we'll definitely need to watch together. I haven't seen Black Lightning yet as catching up is a bit harder with 4 more hours of wrestling (NWA, extra NXT hour and AEW) First world problems and all but glad to see the DC shows are back on. EDIT: Hey, @J.T. You happen to catch Black Lightning's season opener? it was a pretty good start and there seems to be a focus on Anissa this season.

JonnyLaw Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 This is presumably just a Crisis Easter egg, but it’s cool enough I’m going to spoiler it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Execproducer Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 Watched Batwoman. I liked it. Thought Ruby Rose was just fine. I liked that they didn't dick around and got the Alice reveal out of the way. Thought the action was handled very well, though having someone get whacked from behind with a 2x4 on three separate occasions annoyed me a little. I could live without the love triangle since it kind of echos The Flash, but whatever. Looking forward to seeing this one grow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 It makes sense to make him broader as an older Superman. Plus it differentiates him from The Atom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnyLaw Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Currently working through the first season of Supergirl, and while it’s good, I’m guessing it would be even better without knowing the twist with Hank Henshaw’s identity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomAct Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 I feel like Supergirl may lowkey end up being the best of the CW shows this season, based on the first couple of episodes. Flash will, of course, have all the cool fan service stuff, but they have had trouble keeping the rudder in the water at times. Supergirl seems to have the best understanding of what kind of show it wants to be, and has no issue leaning into it. Thought Batwoman was pretty decent in the second episode, but there is something that I can't quite put my finger on that isn't sitting right with me. Like, something seems "off", but I couldn't tell you what it is. I will say that they went way too hard on the "is she, or isn't she" stuff with Alice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was the best show last season and wouldn't be surprised if that continues for the exact reasons you mentioned. So would Sunday's episode be Lena's no coming back point from her heel turn? Black Lightning was another solid episode though I'm curious on how all of this will play out in the end.

RandomAct Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 The stuff with Lena was actually really unsettling, so that may have been her tipping point. I can't remember any scene in an Arrowverse show that ever made me as uncomfortable as that Lena/Tessmacher scene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eivion Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Arrow is seemingly starting with Crisis right off the bat. Considering how that episode ended it will be interesting to see when the Flash team notices. Flash was fun though it will be even better when they start going all in on Crisis. Right now its bit more on the side though what we got was nice enough. 3 hours ago, RandomAct said: The stuff with Lena was actually really unsettling, so that may have been her tipping point. I can't remember any scene in an Arrowverse show that ever made me as uncomfortable as that Lena/Tessmacher scene. That was easily the darkest scene they have done in Supergirl and one of the more disturbing moments we have seen in CW's DCU. It makes me even more curious to see how Lena's story is eventually settled because that felt like a moment they can't really come back from unless this all erupts before Crisis and Crisis alters shit.

HumanChessgame Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 I lost interest in Flash about halfway through last season, but from what people have said on this page it looks like the new season is looking good. Should I pick it back up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bustronaut Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Oh yeah, the new showrunner is doing the old Shooter/Gruenwald "multiple running stories in the background" to keep the pacing going. No more spinning wheels to keep the episode count up. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnyLaw Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 And supposedly, they aren’t doing one big bad all season, although I’m starting to become a bit skeptical of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
