Presumably, the female lead and Superman associations put the new series in good stead. Apparently this series is based on the Christopher Reeve Superman continuity and thus adopts a more light-hearted tone. And thus has nothing to do with current DC comics continuity (which is messed up) or the DC movie universe as established by <em>Man of Steel</em> (very very dark) – which makes sense.</span></p> <p class="p1"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160305122346/http://www.powerofpop.com/geek-out-superhero-tv-in-the-groove/screen-shot-2015-10-29-at-3-04-36-pm/" rel="attachment wp-att-16197"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-16197" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20160305122346im_/http://www.powerofpop.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Screen-Shot-2015-10-29-at-3.04.36-pm.png" alt="Screen Shot 2015-10-29 at 3.04.36 pm" width="1500" height="844" srcset="https://web.archive.org/web/20160305122346im_/http://www.powerofpop.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Screen-Shot-2015-10-29-at-3.04.36-pm-300x169.png 300w, https://web.archive.org/web/20160305122346im_/http://www.powerofpop.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Screen-Shot-2015-10-29-at-3.04.36-pm-450x253.png 450w, https://web.archive.org/web/20160305122346im_/http://www.powerofpop.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Screen-Shot-2015-10-29-at-3.04.36-pm.png 1500w" sizes="(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px"/></a></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">However, because of this, there is less <em>Geek Out</em> value to <em>Supergirl</em> compared to the other series above-mentioned & will probably appeal more to the <em>Gotham</em> crowd than hardcore comic book geeks. <em>The Flash</em> and <em>Arrow</em> still have an edge over <em>Agents of SHIELD</em>, due to the CW writers and producers being more faithful to the source material than even <em>Marvel</em> itself, surprisingly.</span></p> <p class="p1"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160305122346/http://www.powerofpop.com/geek-out-superhero-tv-in-the-groove/screen-shot-2015-10-29-at-3-15-52-pm/" rel="attachment wp-att-16198"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-16198" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20160305122346im_/http://www.powerofpop.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Screen-Shot-2015-10-29-at-3.15.52-pm.png" alt="Screen Shot 2015-10-29 at 3.15.52 pm" width="738" height="1064" srcset="https://web.archive.org/web/20160305122346im_/http://www.powerofpop.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Screen-Shot-2015-10-29-at-3.15.52-pm-208x300.png 208w, https://web.archive.org/web/20160305122346im_/http://www.powerofpop.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Screen-Shot-2015-10-29-at-3.15.52-pm-312x450.png 312w, https://web.archive.org/web/20160305122346im_/http://www.powerofpop.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Screen-Shot-2015-10-29-at-3.15.52-pm.png 738w" sizes="(max-width: 738px) 100vw, 738px"/></a></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">Oliver Queen’s running for Mayor of Star City (<em>Arrow</em>) and the appearance of King Shark (!!!) in <em>The Flash</em> (not to mention the new Firestorm) in the latest episodes gives us geeks exactly what we want in a superhero TV series – nods to original material, over the top heroics & of course, ridiculous villains!

Finally, the concept of the DC multiverse first mooted in <em>The Flash</em> #123 (1961) makes its way into mainstream pop culture.</p> <p>The second episode of CW’s <em>The Flash</em> Season 2 sets up this premise as the core storyline for the series with the introduction of Jay Garrick (the Flash of Earth-2). Kudos to the writers and producers of the show for diving boldly into this challenging scifi-superhero concept.

In the wake of the mega-success of <em>The Avengers</em>, superheroes have gone from strength to strength with <em>Arrow</em> and <em>Agents of SHIELD</em> setting the pace for superhero TV as well. But it is with <em>The Flash</em>, that geeks can truly see the potential of TV series that are faithful to the core values of the original comic book. From the very beginning, the folks behind <em>The Flash</em> have been committed to the tone of DC Comics’ Silver Age – superheroes created by science, tongue-in-cheek reference points without sacrificing the crucial human element – by getting the casting right (Grant Gustin must be the find of the season!), ensuring quality writing on the episodes and giving something back to the diehard geeks on a consistent basis (Mark Hamill saying the line “I am your father” for one!).</p> <p><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160305122346/http://www.powerofpop.com/geek-out-perfect-flash-finale-completes-the-best-ever-superhero-tv-series-so-far/flashfinale02/" rel="attachment wp-att-15241"><img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-15241" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20160305122346im_/http://www.powerofpop.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/FlashFinale02-450x254.png" alt="FlashFinale02" width="450" height="254" srcset="https://web.archive.org/web/20160305122346im_/http://www.powerofpop.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/FlashFinale02-300x169.png 300w, https://web.archive.org/web/20160305122346im_/http://www.powerofpop.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/FlashFinale02-450x254.png 450w, https://web.archive.org/web/20160305122346im_/http://www.powerofpop.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/FlashFinale02.png 600w" sizes="(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px"/></a></p> <p>Could the much anticipated finale live up to the hype? Yes it could and how! The pacing of the finale kept keen watchers on tenterhooks for most of the duration as Barry Allen tried to resolve the conundrum – should he change the past and lose his present? The emotional resonance was kept to a reasonable degree but that didn’t stop me from crying buckets at different points. Along the way, the writers also offered glimpses of things to come in Season 2, even as The Flash made his critical decision to pursue justice instead of mere sentimentality. Still that did not prepare me for the shock twist at the end! A brilliantly conceived denouement that brought about a catastrophe that left Season 1 on a cliffhanger.</p> <p>And so, we are left hanging and looking forward to <em>DC’s Legends of Tomorrow</em> before <em>The Flash</em> Season 2 speeds into our lives! Can’t hardly wait!</p> </div> <footer class="entry-meta"><span class="tag-links"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160305122346/http://www.powerofpop.com/tag/cw/" rel="tag">CW</a><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160305122346/http://www.powerofpop.com/tag/dc/" rel="tag">DC</a><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160305122346/http://www.powerofpop.com/tag/superhero/" rel="tag">Superhero</a><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160305122346/http://www.powerofpop.com/tag/the-flash/" rel="tag">The Flash</a></span></footer></article> <article id="post-15218" class="post-15218 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-tv tag-atom tag-captain-cold tag-cw tag-dc tag-hawkgirl tag-heatwave tag-legends-of-tomorrow tag-rip-hunter tag-superhero tag-vandal-savage tag-white-canary"> <header class="entry-header"> <div class="entry-meta"> <span class="cat-links"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160305122346/http://www.powerofpop.com/category/tv/" rel="category tag">TV</a></span> </div> <h1 class="entry-title"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160305122346/http://www.powerofpop.com/geek-out-dcs-legends-of-tomorrow-first-look-youtube/" rel="bookmark">GEEK OUT!

Things go wrong for quite a few of the supporting characters : for Cisco as he discovers Dr. Well’s secret and for Joe as the new Weather Wizard seeks revenge, though the Barry-Iris relationship takes a new twist and in attempting to save Central City from destruction, the Flash goes literally faster than time.

I mean, after everything that Malcolm Merlyn has done, why the hell would Oliver risk, not only his own life but that of Diggle’s, to save Merlyn? Kudos to John Barrowman for making Malcolm a deliciously despicable villain that nobody but nobody has any sympathy for. C’mon, at least Slade was utterly messed up in the head by the mirakuru in his system. So what’s Malcolm’s excuse?</p> <p>Anyways, much of this episode feels like a re-tread of the one where Oliver voluntarily challenged Ra’s Al Ghul despite everybody (but Malcolm!) trying to dissuade him and for that reason it falls rather flat most of the way. It does seem that ever since the mid-season finale, Oliver has been guilty of incredibly stupid decision making! And… did anyone expect Oliver and Diggle to succeed, against the bloody League of Assassins? C’mon! That all said, I did not expect that final scene with Ra’s – alright, you got me there. Well done!</p> <p>By the way, can someone tell me why Atom comes across as a second rate Iron Man? That is NOT the Atom, CW? WTF</p> </div> <footer class="entry-meta"><span class="tag-links"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160305122346/http://www.powerofpop.com/tag/arrow/" rel="tag">Arrow</a><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160305122346/http://www.powerofpop.com/tag/atom/" rel="tag">Atom</a><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160305122346/http://www.powerofpop.com/tag/cw/" rel="tag">CW</a><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160305122346/http://www.powerofpop.com/tag/drama/" rel="tag">Drama</a><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160305122346/http://www.powerofpop.com/tag/reviews/" rel="tag">Reviews</a><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160305122346/http://www.powerofpop.com/tag/superhero/" rel="tag">Superhero</a></span></footer></article> <article id="post-14631" class="post-14631 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-tv tag-arrow tag-crime-drama tag-cw tag-geek-out tag-reviews tag-superhero"> <header class="entry-header"> <div class="entry-meta"> <span class="cat-links"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160305122346/http://www.powerofpop.com/category/tv/" rel="category tag">TV</a></span> </div> <h1 class="entry-title"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160305122346/http://www.powerofpop.com/geek-out-arrow-up-a-hill-backwards/" rel="bookmark">GEEK OUT!

The last few episodes have been tough on Oliver’s little sister as she has had to deal with an almighty info dump and this latest episode was probably the worst, when she discovered that she was responsible for Sara Lance’s murder. The episode was a bit of a stopgap, serving as an incredulous training lesson meted out by Malcolm Merlyn (why do the Queen siblings continue to trust him when he has proven time and again to be untrustworthy?) but at least brought back Wilson Slade/Deathstroke for more unnecessary violent fun.</p> <p>In the flashback narrative, Oliver finds himself back in Starling five years ago with Maseo (who is one of the brighter cast additions) which leads to Oliver acquiring his fathers guilty list notebook (remember?). Naturally, the show could not resist throwing in familiar faces into this mix – 2010’s version Tommy, Laurel, John, Felicity, Thea and a drunk Det. Lance all featured in mostly character-revealing moments with the introduction of Lt. Matthew Shrieve (Marc Singer!) at the conclusion spicing things up once again.</p> <p>But in the present day, things need to move forward with the Ra’s Al Ghul plot line and soon. C’mon!</p> </div> <footer class="entry-meta"><span class="tag-links"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160305122346/http://www.powerofpop.com/tag/arrow/" rel="tag">Arrow</a><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160305122346/http://www.powerofpop.com/tag/crime-drama/" rel="tag">Crime Drama</a><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160305122346/http://www.powerofpop.com/tag/cw/" rel="tag">CW</a><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160305122346/http://www.powerofpop.com/tag/geek-out/" rel="tag">Geek Out!</a><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160305122346/http://www.powerofpop.com/tag/reviews/" rel="tag">Reviews</a><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160305122346/http://www.powerofpop.com/tag/superhero/" rel="tag">Superhero</a></span></footer></article> <article id="post-14595" class="post-14595 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-tv tag-action-adventure tag-cw tag-firestorm tag-superhero tag-the-flash"> <header class="entry-header"> <div class="entry-meta"> <span class="cat-links"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160305122346/http://www.powerofpop.com/category/tv/" rel="category tag">TV</a></span> </div> <h1 class="entry-title"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160305122346/http://www.powerofpop.com/geek-out-the-flash-can-the-firestorm-spin-off-be-far-away/" rel="bookmark">GEEK OUT: THE FLASH – CAN THE FIRESTORM SPIN OFF BE FAR AWAY?</a></h1> <div class="entry-meta"> <span class="entry-date"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160305122346/http://www.powerofpop.com/geek-out-the-flash-can-the-firestorm-spin-off-be-far-away/" rel="bookmark"><time class="entry-date" datetime="2015-02-18T22:32:54+00:00">February 18, 2015</time></a></span> <span class="byline"><span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160305122346/http://www.powerofpop.com/author/kevin/" rel="author">Kevin Mathews</a></span></span> <span class="comments-link"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160305122346/http://www.powerofpop.com/geek-out-the-flash-can-the-firestorm-spin-off-be-far-away/#respond">Leave a comment</a></span> </div> </header> <div class="entry-content"> <p><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160305122346/http://www.powerofpop.com/geek-out-the-flash-can-the-firestorm-spin-off-be-far-away/screen-shot-2015-02-18-at-10-19-33-pm/" rel="attachment wp-att-14596"><img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-14596" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20160305122346im_/http://www.powerofpop.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/Screen-Shot-2015-02-18-at-10.19.33-pm-450x225.png" alt="Screen Shot 2015-02-18 at 10.19.33 pm" width="450" height="225" srcset="https://web.archive.org/web/20160305122346im_/http://www.powerofpop.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/Screen-Shot-2015-02-18-at-10.19.33-pm-300x150.png 300w, https://web.archive.org/web/20160305122346im_/http://www.powerofpop.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/Screen-Shot-2015-02-18-at-10.19.33-pm-450x225.png 450w, https://web.archive.org/web/20160305122346im_/http://www.powerofpop.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/Screen-Shot-2015-02-18-at-10.19.33-pm.png 909w" sizes="(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px"/></a></p> <p>The Firestorm two-parter may well have been the best <em>Flash</em> episodes so far – which is really saying something. No stone was left unturned to flesh out the characters that make up Firestorm (i.e. Martin Stein and Ronnie Raymond) and there was a sense of inevitability that the two would eventually merge once again. Harrison Wells (Reverse-Flash) is manipulating events behind the scenes and as the ending suggests is also somehow related with Gorilla Grodd as well! I am curious to see what Wells’ motivation in the scheme of things because the writers have done a good job in keeping Wells’ true intentions hidden.</p> <p>The episodes worked so well that it played like a set up for a Firestorm spin-off and depending on how the audiences respond, I am guessing that <em>that</em> series may happen sooner than later. Victor Garber (Stein) and Robbie Amell (Raymond) have settled into their respective roles rather well and it would be intriguing to see how a Firestorm series will explore this unique dynamic. But for the Flash, it does feel that we getting ever closer to Barry’s encounter with the Reverse-Flash in a race to save his mother. Can hardly wait!</p> <p>Just an aside to pay tribute to the creators of these wonderful super-heroes. Even as the credits omit this fact (based on characters in DC Comics), the Barry Allen-Flash was of course created by writers Robert Kanigher & John Broome and artist Carmine Infantino, whilst the original Firestorm was created by writer Gerry Conway and artist Al Milgrom. Credit where it is due!</p> </div> <footer class="entry-meta"><span class="tag-links"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160305122346/http://www.powerofpop.com/tag/action-adventure/" rel="tag">Action-adventure</a><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160305122346/http://www.powerofpop.com/tag/cw/" rel="tag">CW</a><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160305122346/http://www.powerofpop.com/tag/firestorm/" rel="tag">Firestorm</a><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160305122346/http://www.powerofpop.com/tag/superhero/" rel="tag">Superhero</a><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160305122346/http://www.powerofpop.com/tag/the-flash/" rel="tag">The Flash</a></span></footer></article> <article id="post-14560" class="post-14560 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-tv tag-arrow tag-cw tag-reviews tag-superhero"> <header class="entry-header"> <div class="entry-meta"> <span class="cat-links"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160305122346/http://www.powerofpop.com/category/tv/" rel="category tag">TV</a></span> </div> <h1 class="entry-title"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160305122346/http://www.powerofpop.com/geek-out-arrow-the-enemy-of-my-enemy-is-my-friend/" rel="bookmark">GEEK OUT!

But the threat of retribution from Ra’s Al Ghul and the League of Assassin towards Merlyn and Arrow remains very real. A myriad plotlines come together nicely but not without setting off more new ones.</p> <p>Laurel settles into her role as Canary as the Arrow team plot to take down Brick. Meanwhile, Oliver Queen struggles to return to Starling City, after rising from the dead. There is some back-story for Merlyn to get through, which humanizes him just a little, so that perhaps the audience can accept somehow Arrow’s difficult choice at the end.</p> <p>Good superhero TV!</p> </div> <footer class="entry-meta"><span class="tag-links"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160305122346/http://www.powerofpop.com/tag/arrow/" rel="tag">Arrow</a><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160305122346/http://www.powerofpop.com/tag/cw/" rel="tag">CW</a><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160305122346/http://www.powerofpop.com/tag/dc/" rel="tag">DC</a><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160305122346/http://www.powerofpop.com/tag/drama/" rel="tag">Drama</a><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160305122346/http://www.powerofpop.com/tag/superhero/" rel="tag">Superhero</a></span></footer></article> <article id="post-14429" class="post-14429 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-tv tag-arrow tag-cw tag-dc tag-geek-out tag-reviews"> <header class="entry-header"> <div class="entry-meta"> <span class="cat-links"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160305122346/http://www.powerofpop.com/category/tv/" rel="category tag">TV</a></span> </div> <h1 class="entry-title"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160305122346/http://www.powerofpop.com/geek-out-arrow-s03e11-best-dark-superhero-soap-ever/" rel="bookmark">GEEK OUT!
