Adam West Narrates Latest Promo for NBC's POWERLESS

NBC's latest comedy, which airs Thursday February 2nd, takes place in the DC Universe where superheroes are known for their heroic deeds. Unfortunately, other than the villains, innocent bystanders tend to be the most affected by the use of super-powers.

Originally pitched as a workplace comedy centered around insurance adjusters, the theme of the show has been shifted to a team of inventors working for "Wayne Security". Their task is to find ways for the 'cowering commuters' to protect themselves when a super-battle occurs.

The latest promo has the iconic Adam West (Batman 1966), narrating. This can only lead to a small bit of hope that perhaps he'll cameo in an episode along the way. Starring Vanessa Hudgens and Alan Tudyk, POWERLESS will reference many of DC's heroes with its comedic narrative.

Power Rangers Ninja Steel Episode 2: Forged in Steel

Picking up where the first episode ended, after Brody and company's escape from Galvanax's ship via the trash chute.  As a result, a lot of garbage ended up getting dumped on Earth.  This garbage lands on the road blocking two teenagers from Summer Cove High Schools named Hayley and Calvin.  As they try to clear the garbage from the road, they find the shapeshifter Mick.  Mick explains how he ended up on Earth, and they are attacked by Galvanax's foot soldiers.  They manage to fight them off and head back to Summer Cove High School to try and fix Mick's broken wrist communicator.  Mick ends up getting hired as the shop teacher.  Clearly Summer Cove is pretty lax on teacher background checks...

History Notes: Legends of Tomorrow Episode 209, "Raiders of the Lost Art"

Legends of Tomorrow Raiders of the Lost Art

So LEGENDS OF TOMORROW has moved to a new timeslot for the week. Now what am I going to do with my Thursday nights?

Ahem.

Six months ago (if such measurements can mean anything at all in a show where the characters are hopping about in time), Rip Hunter (ARTHUR DARVILL) and the Waverider were going down for the count. The team was scattered. So Rip grabbed a non-descript piece of wood from under the flooring of the timeship that even Gideon didn't know about, shut the ship's AI down, and stuck his hand directly into the power of the time drive.

End of the Innocence: CW's RIVERDALE a Subversive, Adult Spin on Comic Book Champion

Riverdale

If you were a fan of DAWSON'S CREEK, you're in luck: it's back, only under a new name with different characters. The characters may suspiciously sound and look like they come from a familiar comic book, but names and appearances are where the familiarity ends.

It's been a long summer for the teens of Riverdale, highlighted by the mysterious death of Jason Blossom (TREVOR STINES) while on a pseudo-romantic boat trip with his twin sister, Cheryl (MADELAINE PETSCH). Cheryl was found crying on the riverbank by Scout Troop leader Dilton Doiley (DANIEL YANG), but Jason's body was never recovered; and his death has an impact the entire town -- a tragedy for many, and an answered prayer for others, like Alice Cooper (MADCHEN AMICK) who tells her husband that she hopes Jason burns in hell. It's the mystery at the heart of the series, and we learn all about it through our narrator and blogger, Veronica Mars Jughead Jones (COLE SPROUSE).

Game Jab| Chameleon Twist - Pt. 2

Stretch That Tongue

The boys are still at it playing one of Zach's child hood favorite not good but not bad game called Chameleon Twist. This is a Pt. 2 of the same episode previous. We had to break it up because the recording was too long and it was causing Adobe Premiere Pro CC to freak out.

Too-Quick Climax Clears Path for Future Story Launches in JL vs SS Finale

Justice League vs Suicide Squad 6

Warning: Here There Be Spoilers!

Eclipso. He's a world-beating kind of villain on the level of Darkseid. He's a force of the universe, malignancy personified. When he shows up, you can expect the summer to be filled with crossovers as heroes become "eclipsed" and let their darker instincts come to the fore.

Or he can be knocked out of the air by Batman's planning and a very complex (but made on the fly) ice prism to convert eclipsed-Superman's heat vision into sunlight. Don't you just love comic book physics?

Avengers Project Announced with Square Enix, Crystal Dynamics, and Eidos-Montréal

Yesterday, both Marvel and Square Enix had said they would be making big announcements this morning.  There was a lot of speculation that the two were connected.  I even heard speculation that it was about Marvel characters being heavily featured in KINGDOM HEARTS 3. 

But instead, what they announced was something called "The Avengers project" from Square Enix, Crystal Dynamics, and Eidos-Montréal!

We got a teaser trailer, so check it out:

Catching Up: The Flash Episode 310, "Borrowing Problems From The Future"

The Flash Episode 310, Borrowing Problems From the Future

In the weeks since Christmas, Wally (KEIYNAN LONSDALE) has been shadowing Barry (GRANT GUSTIN) as he does his Flash duties. He's learning by observing, which has led some -- like Detective Tom Patterson (GREG GRUNBERG) -- to assume that "the guy in yellow" is not so super-heroic after all. Wally overhears this but tries not to let it affect his patience.

Game Jab| Chameleon Twist - Pt. 1

Stretch That Tongue

Zach finds another relic from his past and shares it with Kevin. This time the boys are playing Chameleon twist for the N64 - Nintendo 64. 

Zach would rent this game so much at his local Hastings (Rest In Peace.) That Hastings decided to just give it to him because he would rent it back to back and loved it so much.

Now it's time for Kevin to jump into the action and Zach's child hood and see how far he can stretch that tongue.

Clown Lives Matter in Legacy: Laughing Matter

I have been waiting for the 6th book in the LEGACY series for a long time.  As I have mentioned in the past, LEGACY is a spin-off from THE DESTROYER series.  I am a long time fan of THE DESTROYER, and new series writer RJ Carter did a terrific job with his first book in the series, BULLY PULPIT.  But, I have to admit that I like the LEGACY books even more.   They take the brilliant world of THE DESTROYER and flesh it out to a whole new level.

Taking Flight: SUPERGIRL 'Lives' with Kevin Smith Ep 209

SUPERGIRL has returned with episode 2.10 titled, "Supergirl Lives" directed by Kevin Smith. After a long layoff it's time to get back to protecting the world (particularly National City) from alien threats.

The episode starts off with Supergirl chasing down a couple of low level jewel thieves. An event that really shouldn't have her racing to catch up to the van, as we've seen her run alongside The Flash. It's a sequence that's necessary to work itself into upcoming events. As she topples the van by blowing out it's rear tire, the two thugs in the back miraculously escape unharmed. As they flee the scene, Guardian appears to cut them off but is distracted by one who wields a knife; allowing the other to run in the opposite direction.

DVD Giveaway: From Dusk Till Dawn Season 3

From Dusk Till Dawn Season 3

Season Three of FROM DUSK TILL DAWN: THE SERIES continues the Gecko brothers' saga as they fight their way through the chilling world of culebras, the vampire-snake hybrids that control hidden empires in Texas and Mexico. Once the baddest outlaws in the land, Seth and Richie made a run for the Border two years ago to save their lives -- and their fortune. After stumbling into a bar full of bloodsuckers and bandits, the Geckos encountered the vampire goddess Santanico, joining her cause to settle an old score. It won them a place in the culebra world. Now that world is on the verge of violent and destructive explosion as new enemies hell-bent on domination gather to take them down. In typical Gecko fashion, Seth and Richie assemble an unlikely crew (some new, some old) to take on the forces of Hell.

Episode Titles for IRON FIST Would Make Bruce Lee Proud

The moment of truth is upon us. According to Bleeding Cool, the BBFC (British Board of Film Classification) has been classifying episodes of the upcoming Netflix original series: IRON FIST.

In doing so, they've released the titles of all but 2 episodes, including the directors for each one. After giving these a look through it's been determined (by this humble writer) that they are the most badass titles since Bruce Lee gave us "Fists of Fury" and "Enter the Dragon".

Power Rangers Ninja Steel Episode 1: Return of the Prism

When POWER RANGERS: DINO SUPER CHARGE ended, I wasn't quite sure how well my kids would take it.  They love the POWER RANGERS franchise in all of its iterations, but for the most part they watch them on Netflix.  DINO CHARGE/DINO SUPER CHARGE was the first POWER RANGERS series they watched week by week as they aired.  But, when the last episode aired, Nickelodeon aired a commercial for POWER RANGERS: NINJA STEEL, and my kids were all excited about the new series.  My six-year old son and I sat down to watch the premiere as it aired, and we enjoyed it quite a bit.
