Well, it's taken long enough, but now we finally know what Brandon Routh as Ray Palmer will look like when he finally puts on the ATOM suit on Arrowlater this season. The show has been teasing his appearance in the suit for several episodes now, showing us bits of it via holographic blueprints, and even a rather Iron Man-esque failed equipment trial last week.

He's just about ready to go, and we'll see him in action on the February 25th episode, with the comic book friendly name of "Nanda Parbat."

Brandon Routh will also take his talents to Central City in an episode of The Flash later this season, as well. No word yet if he'll be bringing the suit with him. A potential spinoff for the character has also been discussed. 

This is more intricate than anything we've seen on either of these shows so far, and I appreciate that they kept the color scheme and some nods from the classic Silver Age Atom costume, which is a masterpiece of simplicity. This is definitely a little more high-tech than that suit, and there's still no word on whether or not he'll ever have the "shrink down to subatomic size" motif of his comic book counterpart, or if this will be a more straightforward "guy in an exo-suit" situation. If it's the latter, I'm not sure how I feel about such a radical departure from the comics, but I at least appreciate that these shows are willing to sink some extra money into more out there superhero designs. It bodes well for future characters.

Arrow"Nanda Parbat" airs on February 25th at 8 pm.

When the DC Cinematic Universe was "officially" born with 2013's Man of Steel, few of us would have thought that the second film would be a movie that teams Superman up with Batman and Wonder Woman. That seems tame when you consider what the follow up to Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice is. That would be the Suicide Squadmovie. The one with the all star cast.

Director David Ayer has been tweeting some photos from behind the scenes. The first one should be of particular interest to fans, since it's the one that shows off props from the film. I would imagine that's Deadshot's gear, but that's just me.

This Flash review contains spoilers.

It was bound to happen. An episode of The Flash that I genuinely didn't like. "Crazy for You" isn't terrible. It has its moments. But it's so utterly disposable that I just can't see myself ever sitting through it again, even on a full season binge.

Where does "Crazy for You" go so wrong? It's dull. But as last week's episode proved, we don't necessarily need a ton of action to make a good Flashepisode, so that isn't quite it. Plus, "Revenge of the Rogues" showed us that even tons of spectacular action isn't a guaranteed formula for a memorable episode, either.

And it's not that it's poorly written. The characters behave the way they should, and everyone is as charming as ever. Malese Jow makes her debut as Linda Park, and I suspect she's going to fit right in with the rest of the ensemble. It just all felt very disconnected. Here are some emotional moments with Barry and his Dad. Here's some Caitlin Snow comic relief. Here's a reminder that Grant Gustin can sing. Here's the villain of the week.

Maybe that's the problem. Peek-a-boo is simply bad news. Never mind the fact that her code name is basically a living, breathing case against superhero/supervillain codenames, she's a fun visual, but nothing else. At one point, when Caitlin says "don't we have a teleporter to catch?" I realized I had almost forgotten. Why? Because this was a tedious, meandering episode. I consider "Power Outage" to be a better example of a disposable villain of the week done right, while "Plastique" was the low point. I'm no longer sure "Plastique" is the series low, though.

Oh, Britne Oldford is just fine as Shauna Baez, and she seriously couldn't look any more like she stepped off the comic page, but...who cares? The fact that she just earned herself a life sentence in solitary confinement in the STAR Labs basement where she doesn't even get the basic amenity of seeing out of her cell makes things even worse. This was a pretty disposable character from the comics, co-created by Flashexecutive producer Geoff Johns, who probably earned himself a nice "usage" bonus with her appearance this week. See also: the dreadful Cupid who appeared on Arrow  this year, a character co-created in the comics by Arrowexec Andrew Kreisberg...although that disaster was far tougher to sit through than "Crazy for You."

I should note that hungover Caitlin is my new favorite Caitlin, so that's cool. But...and this is gonna get me in trouble with shippers across the internet...I'm not feeling the sexual tension with Barry and Ms. Snow. Arrowhas this problem. Oliver Queen ends up sleeping with every attractive woman who isn't a blood relative. Barry has his hands full in the friend zone, and Linda Park will complicate that. I don't think we need to add a workplace romance to this situation. It's not super icky or anything, it just feels like something that popped up this episode because they knew they weren't really throwing us many other bones.

While we're on the subject of Ms. Snow, teasing out the Firestorm (I refuse to type this as an acronym) story for this long is looking like more and more of a mistake. I did dig the security camera origin sequence, but the whole "look! It's Ronnie's energy face flying into the professor!" thing felt like video game logic. Then again, it's best not to think too hard about the logistics of Firestorm's origin on its best day. There have just been too many side trips into this over the last few episodes, and it hasn't felt earned, despite Caitlin's repeated reminders that she lost her boyfriend in the big disaster. I'm very much looking forward to seeing Firestorm next week, but I'm also looking forward to the build up being over so they can get on with things. Piper playing Hannibal Lecter was super tedious, made more inexcusable since they're probably going to use a similar angle for the upcoming Trickster episode.

I'm tempted to give "Crazy for You" an extra half a star because of the extra John Wesley Shipp screentime and our first ever genuine look at Gorilla Frakkin' Grodd (his full name as far as I'm concerned), but I'm not going to. I call out other things I love for leaning on fan service at the expense of a good story, and The Flash (as entertaining as it is, even on a bad week like this one) can't coast by on charm.

Flash Facts!

- The opening sequence was a nice way to show that Flash is a public figure now, but...he only does his whole vibrating voice/face thing around people he knows? This is a personal preference, but I think it's a little dopey. Barry's body language even changes when he's hiding his identity from Iris. I feel like his "public persona" should be more in line with that. Plus it's such a cool audio/visual thing that I want to see more of it. I'm not advocating for "grimdark" Flash or anything like that, but he shouldn't be that familiar and accessible to people. Maybe this will play out later.

- Off of that, he DEFINITELY should have been doing "the voice" when he interrogated the douchebag who stabbed his Dad at Iron Heights. That little complaint aside, that was a nice touch. This is how Flash intimidates/interrogates guys. He isn't Batman dangling you off the top of a skyscraper to get answers. It was creative, it was non-threatening, and it felt very right for the character. 

- 75 years ago, Flash (albeit Jay Garrick) caught a bullet in his hand on the cover of Flash Comics #1. This week had a really neat variation on that. I enjoyed the way they played it, with the bullet just nicking him before he caught it.

- Drawing a blank on Marcus Stockheimer, unless that's an alias. I don't expect every episode to deliver DC Comics nods for every little character we meet, but this felt like another instance of them phoning it in.

- Grodd. Gorilla F. Grodd! A sentient gorilla with highly evolved mental powers. We just saw him. That means we're going to see him again. Never in my wildest dreams did I think this would happen.

Mike Cecchini remains the biggest Flash fan you know, even after this week's episode. Try and keep up with him on Twitter.

Up until “The Iron Ceiling,” most of the featured members of the SSR have been caricatures and different levels of male foils for Peggy Carter. But tonight, they became full characters and that’s not nearly all that happened on this week’s Agent Carter.

Where to begin? I expected lots of extended story beats and characters from the Captain America films, particularly First Avenger; what I didn’t expect from Marvel’s Agent Carter were the origins of Natasha Romanov revealed. Well, not the Black Widow herself, but girls like her, transformed into killing machines in Russia’s Red Room. Of course, Natasha doesn’t appear, but it isn't such a stretch to imagine that the young girl that does appear in this episode, as well as the events that Peggy’s faux neighbor Dot went through, was the same type of conditioning endured by one Natasha Romanov. After tonight’s episode, we now understand who Natasha Romanov is and what she means when she said she had “Red on her ledger.”

That kind of synchronicity to the Marvel Cinematic Universe is one of the main reasons Marvel TV has been working so well this season. Imagine, during this TV series, fans got a deep look into the origins of one of the core Avengers during the course of a 1946 pre-Cold War espionage story while involving characters from Captain America. Just awesome.

As for the plot itself, Peggy and fellow SSR Agent Jack Thompson traveled to Russia to find out if Howard Stark has been selling his technology to Leviathan. Call this episode “Captain America: The First Avenger 1.5” as Cap’s crew of Howling Commandos helped Peggy and Thompson in Russia.

A few things: One, Neal McDonough as Dum Dum Dugan is probably the eeriest exact translation from comic to screen I have ever seen. This actor, who doesn’t look a thing like Dum Dum Dugan in real life, is just transformed into a Jack Kirby drawing of the bowler wearing Howler. Now, allow me to wear my fanboy hat for a moment…

If you told me five years ago that in 2015, I’d be chilling on my couch watching an exact adaptation of the Howling Commandos, I would have asked you what prescription drugs you were on. But there they were, fighting the good fight in Russia with Cap’s best girl. This stuff just never gets old. As for the mission itself, the Howlers and Peggy find that Leviathan has kidnapped a nutball Russian engineer to try and recreate Stark’s weapon. The mission didn’t really have an impact on the unraveling plot of Leviathan and Stark’s innocence, but it did allow Thompson to see Carter in action and fully revealed as the bravest, most noble warrior he has ever seen in action.

Before this mission, Thompson was kind of just an alpha male jerk, or rather Peggy Carter’s watered down version of a Flash Thompson type of character. But seeing Peggy, a woman so respected by Captain America’s elite crew of commandos, allowed Thompson to reveal his own secrets. A particularly powerful moment came when Thompson froze under fire, but Peggy did not judge him, even after all the snide cracks in the past he made about Peggy and women in general. No, Peggy Carter helped Thompson find his courage. Furthermore, Thompson revealed some dark secrets from his past to our heroine. Again, Peggy never judged, she just listened.

Suddenly, Thompson and Carter were not posturing male and plucky female; they were just two soldiers who had both run the gauntlet of war and now understand each other’s pain.

Speaking of soldiers, can I gush about the Howling Commandos a bit more? We were treated to more Howling Commando action in this episode of Agent Carter than we were in the entirety of the first Cap film. When Dugan busted through the wall to save Peggy and her squad, screaming his signature “waa-hooo!” let’s just say it was one of the most profound nerd chubbies I had in years. Series wise, the contrast of the abject respect Dugan and the Howlers had for Peggy stood in stark contrast to how she is treated by the SSR. This week, we witnessed the real Peggy Carter in action. Cap’s best girl.

On Peggy returns home, there will be some tough times ahead. This week we got to look into the past of Peggy’s faux neighbor Dot, a product of the Red Room. Dot’s origin was shown in great detail, an origin that it is not a leap to assume is shared by Natasha Romanov, and if Dot is even half as capable as the Black Widow, Peggy is in for one hell of a fight when she returns home. Dot busted into Peggy’s pad and went through Peggy’s private things, finding pictures of the stolen Stark tech. Thankfully, Dot did not find Captain America’s blood which Peggy hid last week. But this highly trained Russian agent has a key to Peggy’s pad and was established as a dire threat moving forward.

We also got a bit more insight into Dooley’s character this week as he confronted Jarvis over Howard Stark and showed that he is a much deeper thinker than even Peggy gave him credit for. Not much Jarvis this week, but there was a nice scene on how deep his loyalty to and admiration for Stark goes.

From the reveal of the Red Room to Peggy winning the respect of her harshest critic to the Howling Commandos in action, this episode was truly a winner. Waaaa-Hoooo!

Retro Marvel Moments

A bit of a breakdown on the featured Howling Commandos:

- Junior Juniper first appeared in Sgt. Fury and the Howling Commandos vol. 1 #1 (1963) and was created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, Junior has the distinction of being the first name Marvel character to die in action, a huge deal back in 1963 where such a thing just didn’t happen, an incident mirrored in this week’s episode as Juniper fell in battle. A nice tribute to a seminal Silver Age Marvel moment.

- Happy Sam Sawyer also first appeared in Sgt. Fury and the Howling Commandos #1 (1963). In the original comics, Sawyer gave Nick Fury and the Howlers their marching orders. In Agent Carter, Sawyer was an African American soldier who did not seem to be a commanding officer. But, he did have his signature scowl and persnickety demeanor, so this old school Marvel fan was happy. In the comics, Sawyer was white and also appeared in Captain Savage and his Battlefield Raiders and Combat Kelly and the Deadly Dozen, so he was kind of the go to military figure of Marvel’s war books.

- Pinky Pinkerton was a Howling Commando mainstay and first appeared in Sgt. Fury and his Howling Commandos vol. 1 #8 (1964). He was a flamboyant character who always sported his signature beret and pompom. Years later, Stan Lee confided that Pinkerton was always supposed to be homosexual although that was never acknowledged on page. What was acknowledged was Pinky’s combat prowess and courage under fire, attributes that were fully on display in Agent Carter.

As for the Red Room, introducing the location that birthed the Black Widow set up many story possibilities both on television and in film. I’m sure the Red Room will be brought up in Natasha’s future film appearances.

Editor's Note: This article is full of life-ruining spoilers for The Walking Dead. Read at your own risk. 

After a very bloody midseason finale, The Walking Deadwill undoubtedly shift gears and head in a new direction. Rick and the group will be looking for a new place to call home. And after the newest trailer released by AMC, we have a pretty good idea where the group is headed. The only question now is: how will the group make it to the Alexandria Safe-Zone?

Ross Marquand has been cast a series regular on the show. Who is he playing? No one knows for sure, but evidence would point to Aaron, the recruiter that leads Rick and friends to the Alexandria Safe-Zone -- the most prominent setting in the comic book series that is likely to be introduced in the second half of season 5. We bet he's the new character introduced in 5x11. 

We now know that the first mini-arc of season 5 was ripped straight of the comics. The Hunters (aka the Terminans) were front and center this season, and things played out pretty much as they did in "Fear the Hunters." 

The rest of the season up to this point has borrowed bits and pieces from "Life Among Them" (#67-72), as far as the Abraham and Eugene portions are concerned. A lot of that arc deals with the aftermath of Eugene's big revelation that he isn't a scientist and that there is no cure. The group must figure out what to do next. Where do they go? Obviously, Washington is no longer a necessary destination. 

There's a chance to do a bit of condensing in the second half of season 5. While the latter half of season 4 and the first half of season 5 were all about the group roaming the wilderness like stray dogs searching for a home, we'll likely see a change in the status quo when the show returns next year. 

The immediate source of storylines in 2015 will likely be "Life Among Them," although we'll probably get a bit of "Too Far Gone" (#73-78), "No Way Out" (#79-84), and "We Find Ourselves" (#85-90). If Gimple and friends really want to get us riled up for season 6, we may even get a glimpse of "A Larger World" (#91-96) in which the next big bad is introduced...

That's us assuming that storytelling will start to really speed up at the Alexandria Safe-Zone. Of course, there's definitely enough story in just these few arcs to make the show last those 12 seasons the producers are hoping for. Not everything will make it in, some other things will be tweaked for time, and yet other storylines will be wholly original to the show.

For now, let's focus on the rest of "Life Among Them" and some moments in the other arcs that we think might make it in there. They all take place in the early days of the Alexandria Safe-Zone (Kirkman's book will get issue #135 in December). Without getting too bogged down in specifics, here's how the story goes:

A lot goes on in these arcs, although the main gist of it is that the group attempts to settle into a larger society of survivors, trying to assume normal lives among the chaos. 

We first have to talk about Morgan, who was teased during the season 5 premiere. In the comics, he joined the group in "What We Become" (#61-66) when Rick, Carl, and Abraham went back to Rick's hometown to scavenge for remaining supplies. Rick and Carl's savenging mission back home was shown in episode 3x12 "Clear," which played out a little differently. The episode ends with Morgan, who is not mentally fit after the death of both his wife and son, choosing not to rejoin the group.

So the fact that we see Morgan so early on this season is a very good indication that Gimple is ready to pick up Morgan's storyline once more. Morgan's return also allows for some more character development on Michonne's part. Throughout their time together, these two characters grow closer and even strike up a sexual relationship (of sorts).

Our guess is that Morgan will come into play in the midseason finale, and that he'll join the group on the road ahead. His fate become clear a bit later on in the story...

How does the group end up in the Alexandria Safe-Zone? What the hell is the Alexandria Safe-Zone? 

a) Rick and Abraham are trying to figure out what the hell to do next after Eugene is exposed. Right when tempers are set to blow, the group encounters a survivor named Aaron, who informs them that he's a recruiter for a safe haven called the Alexandria Safe-Zone. Of course, Rick has tons of trust issues at this point, so he ties Aaron up and interrogates him. Eventually, the group trusts Aaron enough to follow him to the safe zone.

b) Located in Alexandria, Virginia and about 6 miles from Washington D.C., the Safe-Zone is made up of a few infection-free blocks surrounded by a tall wall on all sides. It is also the current setting of the comics, making it the longest lasting shelter for the group -- almost three years and counting. Also, calling this place a "Safe-Zone" is pretty laughable...

Lots of people die in the Alexandria Safe-Zone. We won't get too into it since a lot of the casualties are new characters introduced in the comics that might not necessarily be introduced on the show. We don't need a larger cast than we already do. 

But Douglas Monroe, the leader of the Alexandria Safe-Zone, does bear mentioning. Douglas founded the zone along with his friend, Alexander Davidson, who was later banished beyond the wall for manipulating women into sexual favors. Douglas became the full-time leader and things were peaceful for the most part. Unfortunately, trouble always follows Rick's group, and things slowly begin to unravel. 

After the Safe-Zone is attacked by a group of D.C. scavengers, Rick (who was originally made constable of the zone) becomes the new leader after Douglas steps down. So Rick's the leader again, and that's when shit really hits the fan. All of this takes place largely in "Too Far Gone."

The firefight between the scavengers and the Safe-Zone alerts a huge zombie horde of the group's location, and "No Way Out" deals with the consequences. This might be fodder for season 6. Ditto the events of "We Find Ourselves."

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is a SERIOUSLY glossed over summary of the story. Use it for scale and general narrative, but not for the more intimate character arcs. It would take a MUCH bigger, probably unreadable article to summarize all that. But we'll get to those bits and pieces when the time comes. 

What you really need to know is that these characters are headed for new pastures, that the status quo changes, and that the storylines will probably begin to focus on rebuilding society. There have already been mentions of the "New World" in The Walking Dead. Abraham's note to Rick at the end of 5x03 "Four Walls and a Roof" is lovely foreshadowing...The new world's gonna need Rick Grimes.

Young Adult literature and the Super Bowl are two things that I would have thought were mutually exclusive…until now.

Why wait for the big game when you can watch the pregame trailer for The Divergent Series: Insurgent at this very moment? Proving that Shailene Woodley’s dystopian vehicle will still keep Ditka Country alive and well, long after the Seahawks hopefully trounce the Patriots, Insurgent continues the story of a teenage girl who will bring freedom and personality back to grayed Chicago skyline.

Directed by Robert Schwentke (The Time Traveler’s Wife, RED), The Divergent Series: Insurgent picks up with Tris Prior (Woodley) on the run from civilization after the fallout from the previous film. Despite saving the dystopia from an Erudite militaristic takeover, she and boyfriend Four (Theo James) have been targeted as fugitives by the community’s leader (Kate Winslet). Sides will be chosen, secrets revealed. The film also stars Octavia Spencer, Jonny Weston, and Naomi Watts.

And in the below trailer, she takes the fight right to Kate Winslet’s malicious smile.

The Divergent Series: Insurgent release date is March 20, 2015. You can read our review for Divergent by clicking here.

Marvel have been keeping their DaredevilNetflix series relatively quiet. That might have more to do with the fact that Netflix generally doesn't release much in the way of trailers for shows until a few weeks before the premiere. But now we finally have something to show for Daredevil!

Watch it here.

Here's the official synopsis:

"Marvel's Daredevil" is a live action series that follows the journey of attorney Matt Murdock, who in a tragic accident was blinded as a boy but imbued with extraordinary senses. Murdock sets up practice in his old neighborhood of Hell's Kitchen, New York where he now fights against injustice as a respected lawyer by day and masked vigilante at night.

All thirteen episodes of Daredevilwill hit Netflix on April 10th. It stars Charlie Cox as Matt Murdock/Daredevil, Vincent D'Onofrio as Wilson "The Kingpin" Fisk, Elden Henson as Franklin "Foggy" Nelson, and Deborah Ann Woll as Karen Page. 

For a detailed breakdown of everything we saw in the trailer, click here. We also rounded up everything you need to know and what you should expect from the series right here.

This article contains potential spoilers for Marvel's Daredevil Netflix series.

Marvel finally let fans have a look at the Daredevilseries coming to Netflix. It's safe to say...this looks nothing at all like anything we've seen from Marvel Studios so far. Despite the fact that Daredevilis a TV production, it looks far more cinematic than Agents of SHIELD or even Agent Carterwhich, even on their best days, still look like ABC TV shows.

Daredevil, on the other hand, looks like it has a little more in the tank than Marvel's other TV efforts. So, aside from the numerous nods to the character's Marvel Comics history, we took a look to see what else sets Daredevilapart from the rest of its Marvel Studios brothers and sisters.

Here goes...

Matt is very Catholic...

Matt Murdock is one of the few practicing Catholics I can think of in the superhero community. It's an aspect of his character that has played heavily throughout his career. There have been numerous jokes made in the comics about why a good Irish Catholic boy like Matt spends his nights dressed like the devil, although this series has less to do with the devil imagery.

At least...so far. That may change. We'll get to that in a minute.

While we're on the subject of Matt's Catholicism, this poor, put-upon priest has to listen to Matt's confessions. Considering that this is the NYC of the Marvel Universe, imagine the kinds of confessions he has to hear? This isn't your local Father NiceGuy telling you to say a couple of Hail Marys and an Act of Contrition because you confessed to having some naughty thoughts about your neighbor's wife. Think about the insane, reality warping stuff this poor guy has to listen to on a weekly basis. 

Also, this slightly recalls the opening scenes of Kevin Smith and Joe Quesada's Daredevil: Guardian Devil story, but that may just be a coincidence.

Anyway, that wasn't my point. My real point is...in the comics, Matt's Mom vanishes at an early age. She ultimately becomes a nun. I wonder if there's a chance that we'll see her in this series. I also wonder if this priest might already know who Matt is, and that he has a connection to someone else in his church. All speculation, of course, but I would be surprised if Daredevildoesn't pursue this at some point. I've yet to see any Sister Maggie listed in the credits, though.

Matt is also very ripped...

Jesus Christ, Cox...do some situps or something you lazy bastard. God, what are you, just eating Doritos all day? 

I am, of course, joking. The tried and true Marvel Fitness Program (which most recently showed such wonderful results for Paul Rudd in Ant-Man) has done Charlie right, and has successfully shamed me into going to the gym today.

The Costume Will Evolve...

It's been hinted that Daredevil will rock the more traditional crimson suit before the season ends. That being said, it even looks like the basic black costume is going to evolve. The above picture looks like just Matt in a hoodie and sweats. But then...

...this one is more streamlined. This next image may be the same suit, but it's the first that I've noticed the red piping in the seams. I wonder if that's yet another evolution of the costume, or just the first time we've spotted it from the back. Either way, I'm more on board with the minimalist all-black Daredevil costume than I've ever been. Check out the highlights...

Now, for a few supporting characters...

Meet the Kingpin. Sorta.

They sure are being coy about showing us Vincent D'Onofrio as Wilson Fisk, aren't they? We've been told that this show is as much the story of Wilson Fisk's origin as it is Daredevil's. They're making us wait, though. Here he is staring at a piece of monochrome modern art, probably done by his future wife, Vanessa (played by Ayelet Zurer, who we don't see in the trailer). This could be where his love of white begins...who knows? When Matt finally gets his red suit, will Fisk don his white one? This image also has a nice "comic panel" feel to it, without being too overt.

And here's another blurry picture of Kingpin, just for the hell of it.

Before I get into the Karen Page thing, I have to just note the sequence of shots in this trailer, because I'm not sure it's coincidental. First, look at all of these delicious, delicious narcotics...

which brings us right to...

Meet Karen Page...

Then we get Karen Page (True Blood's Deborah Ann Woll) looking plenty sketchy. She doesn't exactly look like she's here for a job interview at Nelson and Murdock, does she? Instead, she looks like she's here because, well, she needs a lawyer.

They're clearly going to set up Karen Page's troubles with narcotics and other things for a later payoff. The greatest Daredevil story remains Frank Miller and David Mazzucchelli's Born Again, and while that certainly isn't suitable first season fodder, there are still a few things that can be laid out ahead of time.

Speaking of lawyers...

Meet Foggy Nelson!

Our first look at Franklin "Foggy" Nelson, Matt's law partner and best pal, played by Elden Henson. Is that Matt's cane on the left?

And now...

Meet Night Nurse! No, seriously.

Rosario Dawson is Claire Temple. Interestingly enough, in the comics her character is Luke Cage's ex-wife, which will probably set up a cameo from Mike Colter as Cage and Krysten Ritter as Jessica Jones if they go that route with her here.

She isn't the only supporting badass, though...

Daredevil's Sensei

That's Scott Glenn as "Stick," the blind martial artist who shows Matt how to use his enhanced senses after he goes blind. He also teaches him how to fight. Stick isn't a very nice guy. But my next question is...

...are these individuals supposed to be Stick's other master warriors, the Chaste? If so, that's a nice surprise.

Matt's Origin

They don't show much of Matt Murdock's origin here, but I'm willing to bet that the above shot is part of it. For starters, from the uniforms, the cop car, and the loud shirt in the foreground, this is probably the New York City of a few decades back. It looks like a young boy, probably Matt, is huddled over a body in the alley. Probably his Dad after he gets rubbed out by gangsters for refusing to throw a fight.

If I were a betting man (note...I am not, and if you ever get the chance to play poker with me, you will win and I will be poor), I'd say we're only going to get Daredevil's origin story in flashbacks, scattered over the course of a few episodes. Just a hunch, though.

The Unanswered Questions

Pretty sure we've never seen this much blood in every Marvel Studios production combined. But this also looks like it could be a flashback. The fashions and decor seem to place it in the past, but that might just be the look of the show. But who is this? Is that Karen Page and Matt Murdock? If so, this is probably less a flashback than a hallucination of some kind.

Unless that's Karen and not Matt Murdock, in which case she's possibly been framed for murder, or killed some jerk in self-defense, hence her need for a lawyer at Nelson & Murdock.

I gave this a careful look but got nowehere. I thought I spotted a HYDRA logo on one pair of cufflinks or earrings (I was wrong), but this is probably just Wilson Fisk's drawer of ridiculous cufflinks or something.

I only included this above shot because it's another scene that looks kind of like a flashback to me. I've had some idle daydreams that Daredevilis actually set in the past, but I can't imagine they're going to go that route, especially with four other Netflix series coming. Unless, of course, the whole DefendersNetflix arc really is just about filling in gaps in the Marvel Cinematic Universe continuity.

After all, we have Captain America in WWII, Howard Stark and Peggy Carter in the late '40s and early '50s, and we're going to meet Michael Douglas' Hank Pym in Ant-Man, who was probably active in the '60s and '70s. Could these Netflix series fill in more blanks? I suppose it's possible, but I don't think it's terribly likely.

But damn, it would be cool if they did that.

The Violence. Oh, the Violence...

Marvel Studios has plenty of whizz-bang action, and lots of explosions and rayguns, but surprisingly little cruelty, blood, or violence with consequences. Often, not as many in camera stunts as I'd like, either (although Captain America: The Winter Soldier helped on that front). But there's no super soldier serum or suit of armor, or magic hammer for Daredevil, which means he has to kick ass the old-fashioned way. Behold...

A fine bit of stuntwork here...

A genuine defenestration here...

The outcome of said defenestration...

Daredevil looking entirely too pleased with himself after doing the defenestrating...

And I'm going to end it on this shot, because the trailer did...

To me, this is one of the most perfect examples of translating comic book style imagery to the screen that we've seen Marvel do, but without going into over-the-top Dick Tracy style live-action cartooning. This could have been drawn by Frank Miller, but it also doesn't resort to the headache-y gimmickry (look! COMICS!) of the Sin City films.

Daredevildrops on April 10th. As you might imagine, I'm looking forward to it.

The Flash has been teasing us with Firestorm stuff kind of since before it was even its own show. During the ramp-up to the first Barry Allen appearance on Arrowin 2013, I couldn't help but notice the similarities to Firestorm's origin present with the STAR Labs particle accelerator. Hell, I even just assumed that Firestorm would be the focus of that, not Flash.

Sometimes, it's nice to be wrong.

And after Firestorm's rather dramatic entrance in "The Man in the Yellow Suit" and with "Revenge of the Rogues" and "Crazy for You" having devoted significant time to setting up more of his origin, now we know when we'll get to meet him for real. It's in The Flash episode 13, appropriately titled, "The Nuclear Man." 

Watch the trailer here:

That looks...pretty impressive, actually. I initially thought Firestorm would just be introduced like another STAR Labs side-effect of the week, but this definitely looks like something a little more.

And here's the official synopsis for the episode:

ROBBIE AMELL AND VICTOR GARBER GUEST STAR AS FIRESTORM — After Ronnie (guest star Robbie Amell) attacks a physicist (guest star Bill Dow), Barry (Grant Gustin) and the team realize they need to go after Caitlin’s (Danielle Panabaker) fiancé who is now a dangerous meta-human.  They deduce the best way to track Ronnie is to find Dr. Martin Stein (guest star Victor Garber) who was working on a project called F.I.R.E.S.T.O.R.M.  Barry struggles to balance his duties as The Flash and his relationship with Linda Park (guest star Malese Jow), and Joe (Jesse L. Martin) enlists Cisco’s (Carlos Valdes) help to reinvestigate the murder of Nora Allen (guest star Michelle Harrison).  General Eiling (Clancy Brown) returns to Central City.  Glen Winter directed the episode written by Andrew Kreisberg & Katherine Walczak (#113).  

The Flash"The Nuclear Man" will air on February 10th. We'll update this post with more details as we get them.

Heroesstar Milo Ventimiglia is taking his talents to Gotham City. The actor will join the Gothamcast in a recurring role before season one is finished, as Jason Lennon, a serial killer known as "the Ogre."

Here's the official word on "the Ogre."

Handsome, wealthy and seductive, the Ogre is a serial killer who has been preying on the young women of Gotham for nearly a decade, luring them into his web and confronting them with a series of “tests” as he searches for his perfect mate. When the women fail to live up to his impossible standard, Lennon disposes of them quickly and viciously. His obsessions, combined with Gordon’s determination to bring him down, send both Gordon and Lennon — and those around them — on a course toward tragedy.

What you probably care more about is...is this a DC Comics supervillain? The answer, sadly, is "no." The press release goes out of its way to point out that this isn't the same "Ogre" from the comics. Mr. Ventimiglia will first appear in episode 19.

This Arrow review contains spoilers

"Uprising" was a weird one. Not a bad one, but a weird one. A tough episode to get a read on. I may just have to work through this as I actually write this review, so you unlucky folks will have to deal with my thought process evolving in "real time." My apologies.

For starters, it was a different kind of opening. Starting with a quiet moment between Oliver and Tatsu was certainly a big change from the usual action movie madness we get at the start of these shows. I figured this meant we were due for a ridiculous climax of some kind, but I was wrong.

I did appreciate Oliver asking Tatsu to come back to Starling City with him. I can only imagine what Team Arrow would be like if both Maseo and Tatsu joined up. In fact, maybe that's the secret plan. When Arrowcompletes its five season run, the show can just continue as "The Outsiders" or something, because this team can and should grow a little more!

I'm enjoying watching Roy and Laurel working together. It's just neat seeing Arsenal and Black Canary getting it done on screen. There fight with Brick later on, when he's firing shotgun flares at them, was another nice moment.

I guess my biggest problem with "Uprising" was how it flitted around from point to point, and ultimately felt a little anticlimactic, especially considering how great the last few episodes have been. I think we hit the limits of Brick as a villain. When it really came down to it at the end, he was nothing. Just a plot device to hit a big reset button on the streets of Starling City.

Oliver's return was cool, but it wasn't the feel-good asskicking of the year that I was expecting it to be. They would have earned that. But I now am certain it was a mistake not to have him gone for longer. I don't necessarily mean "more episodes" I mean for the time frame he was gone as depicted on the show. They skipped the usual "real time" aspect after the midseason break, and revealed that Ollie had only been missing for a few days, and at the end of this one, when Green Arrow gives his speech (also not my favorite moment) he talks about being gone for "a few weeks." An entire section of Starling City went to hell in a few weeks because the leader of a pack of mid-level vigilantes was out of commission? Sorry. Not good enough.

I found the big brawl in the street at the end to be seriously lacking, too. It felt a little like "we ran out of ideas" and then it turned into the Jets and the Sharks on the least convincing backlot in Arrow's arsenal. It was great to see Wildcat all suited up and throwing punches, though. I do hope this isn't their excuse to write him out of the show, as I think having another vigilante who could lend a fist every now and then is a good way to keep things fresh.

Sin's miraculous return and thoroughly boneheaded chat with Captain Lance seriously rubbed me the wrong way. First of all, Sin literally just strolling back on camera was...silly. Second of all, she's pretty dense to just have a casual conversation with Quentin like that in the middle of the street. It also doesn't help that it exposes how thick he's been lately. This stuff, Oliver's speech, and a lot of the Malcolm stuff just felt like characters explaining the story to each other and the audience, and over fifty episodes in, there's just no reason for that on a show like this any more. Maybe this "trilogy" should have been longer.

Does it bother anyone else that Thea was taking a nice nap on the couch while an entire borough of Starling City was having open warfare in the streets? Unless my continued "Manchurian Candidate" theory about Thea comes into play here. Did Dad hypnotize her so she wouldn't even pay attention to the news or something?

Some of the show's other ladies fared a little better. If there's one thing that has been totally consistent during this entire story arc, it's been Felicity. Felicity has just straight up been the adult in the room for most of the season, especially since midseason, and with a big white hot spotlight on her tonight. Her little chat with Oliver to close things out doesn't feel like something just dropped in to drive fans of their romance insane, I do think there are going to be consequences.

Oh, and nothing...nothing tops the death stare that Felicity fixed on Merlyn when he showed up at the Arrowcave. I will give the episode this, though. Despite Felicity's (justified) protests, I do actually buy Oliver agreeing to work with Merlyn, now. That's a pretty major swerve, but they earned it.

Meanwhile...On an Island...

Wait...not on an island? This week was all about Malcolm Merlyn string of bad decisions that ultimately landed him in Nanda Parbat. These were alright, but I think this story would have been better served as its own flashback episode. There was a lot of talky exposition and the decision to go off and leave Tommy felt rather abrupt.

I really dug seeing young Nyssa, though. There was a real Damian Wayne vibe coming off her, and it definitely brought a little smile to my face. I even dug "the magician" explanation.

But yeah, like the rest of the episode, it was all a little too talky. But you know what? Compared to how weak most of the flashbacks have felt this season, it really didn't come off any worse. And more John Barrowman screentime is never, ever a bad thing.

DC Universe Watchtower

- There was nothing in that Channel 52 news crawl at the beginning. Believe me, I looked.

- Oliver's alibi was that he was shacking up with somebody in Bludhaven, occasional home of Nightwing. That's actually a story I WOULD like to see at some point in the future.

- And in the kickoff fight with Arsenal and Black Canary this week...was that goon's chat with Roy the first time we've actually heard the word "superhero" uttered on Arrow? I'm legit asking, because I don't know.

Other than that, "Uprising" was light on DCU references. It wouldn't have made a difference. This week wasn't necessarily bad, but it was awfully pedestrian. I might have been easier on it if the build up from recent episodes hadn't raised my expectations. Oh, well. There's always next week!

There was a moment while watching Seventh Son when I wondered to myself why the seventh son of the seventh son had to be the one that hunted witches. I couldn’t remember if anyone in the film had explained that, but then I realized I didn’t care anyway. Seventh Son, which was shot three years ago and has been the subject of panel presentations at Comic-Con for it seems longer than that, is exactly the kind of movie that it appears to be in the trailers: a generic fantasy would-be “epic” that wants so badly to be The Lord of the Rings -- or least somewhere in that classic’s orbit -- but ends up as both a hodgepodge and a poor imitation.

Nothing in this film carries even a spark of originality or inspiration, right down to one of the single worst performances I’ve ever seen Jeff Bridges give. This is now the fourth straight film (following True Grit, R.I.P.D., and The Giver) in which he’s played a grizzled, eccentric old mentor type with an exaggerated, gravelly voice, and his shenanigans here cross the line and plunge deep into self-parody territory. And the voice is the most laughable yet. Bridges plays Master Gregory, a “spook” whose job is slaying witches but who keeps losing apprentices to them (the most recent is Kit Harington, direct from the set of Game of Thrones without even a costume change). A witch slayer has to be the seventh son, etc., so the next one happens to be a block of wood named Tom Ward (Ben Barnes), whose family hands him over to Gregory because prophecy.

Gregory and Tom head out to prepare for the return of Mother Malkin (a slumming, camped-up Julianne Moore), an all-powerful witch whom Gregory once had a fling with and who has broken out of the cage that he locked her in decades ago. Mother is assembling a superteam of witches timed to the arrival in the sky of a blood moon, upon which she will do something to bring about -- the apocalypse? An early winter? It’s never made clear. Neither is this movie’s geography, which seems to find Mother hanging out in the town that Gregory and Tom are supposed to be protecting while they’re out traveling through some admittedly pretty mountain scenery.

Where is Mother holed up? How does a pretty half-witch (Alicia Vikander), who Tom naturally falls in love with five minutes after they meet, seem to travel cross-country in seconds flat? The answers to these and other questions remain elusive as director Sergei Bodrov serves up one CG-heavy action sequence after another before you even get a chance to think about how insipid this all is. There are already plenty of cheap-looking monsters in the film, but the script (by Charles Leavitt and Steven Knight) even throws in a giant troll-like creature for yet another superfluous battle scene that does nothing to advance the already lazy story.

There’s no attempt at world or character building here. It takes place in some anonymous, medieval fantasy world, without anyone even bothering to put anything in some sort of context. Everything looks left over from Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters or Snow White and the Huntsman, and cinematographer Newton Thomas Sigel has shot the whole thing in some sort of hazy filter that made me take off my (wholly unnecessary) 3D glasses twice because I thought the thing was going out of focus. But that serves, in a way, as a metaphor for the whole affair.

Seventh Son really comes across as a dreadful example of movie as “product.” It is empty, soulless, loaded with over-directed and overstuffed action that studio suits think is the only tool they can use to keep distracted teens in their seats and off their phones, and borrows shamelessly and artlessly from other movies that have heart or even just a pulse. It allows two often brilliant veteran actors in Bridges and Moore to indulge in their worst impulses while hamming it up in front of green screens, and props up two bland, barely emoting hotties in Barnes and Vikander as its young leads whose lack of chemistry and charisma is palpable.

The movie is based on a book by Joseph Delaney called The Last Apprentice: Revenge of theWitch (known as The Spook's Apprentice in the UK), the first in a series (of course) titled The Wardstone Chronicles. While I haven’t read the book, I’ve read enough about it to understand that the movie departs pretty drastically from the text (Tom is 12 years old in the novel). I hope that the book is better than the movie, because I couldn’t imagine reading a novel as generic as this. Bodrov (who is actually a two-time Oscar nominee for Best Foreign Language Film!) exhibits no personality or even point of view in his first American production, but that’s probably hard to do when the movie itself has neither. In the end, the title is all too appropriate, because Seventh Son plays like a seventh-generation copy of some much better film made years ago.

Seventh Son opens in theaters Friday (February 6).

We're eagerly anticipating Dark Circle's new line of comics that launch later this month with The Black Hood.In advance of this new line (which also features The Shield and The Fox, to be released later this year), the company has unveiled their digital strategy, which will introduce classic comics featuring the MLJ superheroes, as well as an exclusive New Crusaders story.

From the press release:

Launching in the early 1990s, the Impact Comics imprint featured classic Red Circle characters such as The Black Hood, The Comet, The Shield, and included work by comic book luminaries such as Mark Waid, Tom Lyle, Mark Wheatley and more. THE BLACK HOOD was taken in exciting new directions by focusing on several different incarnations of the classic character under the guide of writer Mark Wheatley and Eisner-award winning artist Rick Burchett.

The 1980s Red Circle relaunch featured the classic characters getting a modern update foreshadowing the Dark Circle Comics relaunch in 2015. THE ORIGINAL SHIELD told new tales of Joe Higgins, an FBI agent with a secret identity as America’s fighting champion of justice. Selections from both Red Circle and Impact comics are available now digitally with more issues to be added periodically.

Launched in 2012 by fan favorite creators Ian Flynn and Ben Bates, The New Crusaders were a group of mostly teenage superheroes who teamed together to protect Impact City from threats such as The Brain Emperor and The Eraser. The New Crusaders will make their much-anticipated return in a digital exclusive NEW CRUSADERS - DARK TOMORROW SPECIAL. This digital-only one-shot picks up from the events of the NEW CRUSADERS – RISE OF THE HEROES series and moves the characters forward into the world of Dark Circle. Readers who are excited for more NEW CRUSADERS stories won’t want to miss this digital special!

This is a shrewd business move for Archie/Dark Circle, as it allows readers to get reacquainted with the classic MLJ superheroes before the new stories launch. We are especially eager to dig into Impact stories due to the jaw-dropping talent involved, many of whom were just beginning to make waves within the comics industry.

The titles debuting on February 25th will be the the first two issues of The Black Hood originally published by Impact Comics, the first three Red Circle Comics The Black Hood books, and issues 1 through 4 of Red Circle's The Original Shield. Sadly, no word yet on the underrated Thunder Bunny books being reissued digitally, but we're keeping our fingers crossed.

Still with us? Okay. With Skye (Chloe Bennet) becoming transformed into an Inhuman just before Agents of SHIELD went on its mid-season break, it seems as if Marvel is opening the door for more encounters with its mutant stand-ins as a way to pave the road ahead for the arrival of the Inhumans movie in 2018.

Which is probably why Marvel.com has revealed that Luke Mitchell, from the CW series The Tomorrow People, is joining the cast as “a charismatic Inhuman named Lincoln, who has an important role to play in Skye understanding the true extent of her transformation.”

Lincoln will show up sometime after the show returns to ABC-TV on March 3, so presumably a good portion of the back half of season two will deal with Skye and the gradual introduction of the Inhumans’ mythology into the series.

Will that lead to a crossover with The Avengers: Age of Ultron or any of the other Marvel movies before The Inhumans arrives in three years? That’s a question mark for now, but make no mistake: the Inhumans are here and Agents of SHIELD is going to be their base of operations for now.

Reggie: Riverdale Casanova is available digitally on 2/13 for $3.99.

DC announced its new lineup of books that will debut after its Convergence event. Starting in June, DC will do away with the "New 52" branding it has emphasized in all of its titles since the 2011 relaunch. However, it should be emphasized that this isn't another continuity altering reboot, but rather a shift in the focus of the DC Universe.

52 is no longer the magic number (although, really, it hasn't been for quite some time). Instead, DC will put out 49 ongoings. 25 are returning titles continuing their numbering while 24 are brand new books.

“This heralds in a new era for the DC Universe which will allow us to publish something for everyone, be more expansive and modern in our approach and tell stories that better reflect the society around us,” said DC Entertainment Co-Publisher Dan DiDio in a statement. “Whether you’ve been a DC fan your whole life, or whether you are new to comics – there will be a book for you beginning in June.”

“More than ever before, DC Comics fans are being exposed to our rich portfolio of characters through multiple sources, including an unprecedented number of highly successful TV shows, video games and upcoming major motion pictures,” said Co-Publisher Jim Lee. “We are looking to extend that experience within publishing to ensure there is a comic book for everyone. For example, fans of the Arrow television show may want more stories about Black Canary. Now they can find modern, fresh takes on the character in the pages of her standalone series both in stores and digitally.”

A first look at upcoming storylines will be the focus of DC Entertainment’s Free Comic Book Day issue – DC COMICS: DIVERGENCE – available Saturday, May 2, featuring three 8-page previews for the June releases of Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo’s Batman, as well as Geoff Johns and Jason Fabok’s launch of the Darkseid War within Justice League featuring the biggest villains in the DCU – Darkseid and the Anti-Monitor, and Gene Luen Yang's DC Comics debut with celebrated artist John Romita, Jr on Superman. More than half-a million free issues of the DC Entertainment sampler will be given away at comic book retailers globally.

“In this new era of storytelling, story will trump continuity as we continue to empower creators to tell the best stories in the industry,” said DiDio.

That's encouraging. They're promising a "back to basics" approach for key characters like Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman while some second-tier characters are going to get reinventions and fresh perspectives. In theory, this makes the line and the characters represented more diverse. But DC also appears to have embraced a more diverse range of talent to produce the books, as well, which is nice.

Aside from "diversity" the other magic word at DC appears to be "synergy." There are several titles that should help position a number of characters for screen stardom, and at least one clear attempt to line up a comic book property with an upcoming big screen adaptation.

We'll start with the complete list of books, then we'll leave the end for our observations and favorites.

Black Canary by Brenden Fletcher (who just helped to breathe spectacular new life into Batgirl) along with the brilliant Annie Wu and Irene Koh is plenty exciting. So is Ming Doyle taking over writing duties on a brand-new John Constantine series, Constantine: The Hellblazer. 

Ming Doyle is handling art duties on Dark Universe with writer James Tynion IV. That Dark Universe title is significant, as it's also the name of Guillermo del Toro's long talked about Justice League Dark movie, featuring characters like Constantine, Swamp Thing, Zatanna, and the Demon. If DC are raising the Dark Universe profile, then that movie might finally be moving along a little faster than we thought. Needless to say, this one is taking the place of Justice League Dark.

With Cyborg about to make a big-screen debut in 2016's Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice, and with a solo film planned for 2020, it's about time Vic Stone headlines his own title. This one comes from writer David Walker and artist Ivan Reis.

There's a Starfire ongoing series written by Jimmy Palmiotti and Amanda Conner, who are currently doing wonderful work on Harley Quinn (Harley is getting paired up with the new Power Girl in a limited series, as well, which should raise Power Girl's profile considerably) and artist Emanuela Lupacchino. This should be good fun.

Midnighterby Steve Orlando with art by ACO looks interesting. I believe it's also the first time an openly gay superhero has ever headlined his or her own DC book. That's a small but significant victory. 

Bryan Hitch will write and draw a brand new Justice League of America ongoing series. The Geoff Johns era of Supermanis over, with John Romita Jr. sticking around on art, and writer Gene Luen Yang coming on board. Justice League United is coming back, but with an entirely new creative team. No sign of a Jeff Lemire Legion of Super-Heroes, sadly. A Shazamongoing would have been a nice touch, especially considering how awesome that Jeff Parker/Doc Shaner Convergencetie-in looks.

I'm not sure if anyone was clamoring for a Scott Lobdell penned Doomedtitle. "Doomed" was the name of a seemingly endless crossover that took over the Superman books last summer, and...it wasn't great. However, DC may have their reasons for wanting to raise Doomsday's profile in the coming years. 

Prez, by Mark Russell and Ben Caldwell, however, looks suitably bonkers. Based on a Bronze Age DC Comics oddity about the first teenage President of the United States, well, it will be fun to see what this looks like with a 21st century sensibility.

And, of course, what line of new DC Comics would be complete without too many Batman titles? Seriously, Bat-books are like a hydra. Cancel one book and two more will take its place. We Are Robin comes from Lee Bermejo (on writing chores) and Khary Randolph, while Robin, Son of Batman is coming from writer/artist Patrick Gleason.

More on DC's new lineup as we learn it.
