The thing that most annoys me about the first three episodes of The Flash is how non-Flash elements are shoehorned into the series so early – Multiplex, Java, STAGG Industries, Caitlin Snow, Ronnie...

Ra’s al Ghul makes his Arrow debut here, Arrow’s fiftieth episode. There is the niggling question of why a top-tier Batman villain appears on Arrow first, and not Gotham. This ignores the nature of the...

Last week’s episode of Gotham, “Spirit of the Goat”, is the first episode I feel should define the show. Gotham isn’t strictly Batman Without Batman – Arrow was that two years before Gotham, and it’s...

“Flash vs. Arrow”…like Superman vs. Batman, only off-brand. Doesn’t stop other websites from calling this an “epic crossover”, as promotion dictates. The truly epic thing is the appearance of Ray...

The first part of the Flash/Arrow (the kids call it Flarrow) crossover, “Flash vs. Arrow”, is better than I thought it would be. It hangs on the Brainwashed and Crazy trope, and it’s supremely obvious...
