Whether or not you enjoyed the first six efforts put forth by the Resident Evil film franchise, something none of us can deny is that it was essentially "The Milla Jovovich Show." Undoubtedly helping the actress to become a household name since the first movie's debut in 2002, each subsequent installment was centered on her original character of Alice, which remains a hot button issue amongst those who also happen to be fans of the video games to this day.
Although our earliest impressions of the current season of iZombie were overwhelmingly positive, not even we could foresee how well thought out it would end up being. With nine episodes now being behind us, it's become apparent that the producers have put much planning into the current run, possibly making it the strongest the series has had to offer thus far.
Since its inception a few years back, The Flash has continually gripped fans by delivering a well-rounded viewing experience that capably blends superhero storytelling with crazy sci-fi action, riveting drama and a dash of comedy. Plus, it doesn't shy away from its comic book roots in the slightest, effectively making the dreams of those who adore the source material come true on a weekly basis.
When longtime comic book collectors fondly reminisce the 1990's, something that may very well come up is that of WildStorm. Serving as a testament to the prolific career of the legendary Jim Lee, the imprint was actually started while he was still working at Image - a company he co-founded, mind you - before becoming a part of DC in 1999.
Sometimes to the chagrin of staunch purists but to the delight of those who enjoy re-imaginings, Gotham continues to put its own stamp on the Batman mythos by taking established characters in unexpected directions, effectively keeping the viewing audience as a whole on their toes. One such example is that of the unfolding situation with Barbara Kean.
With the awesome showings that were Justice League Dark and Teen Titans: The Judas Contract now behind us, our attention turns toward the next major DC animated film of 2017 in Batman and Harley Quinn. Pairing one of the genre's most lucrative players in the former with one currently boasting white hot popularity in the latter was a wise move on the part of the studio and, judging by last week's trailer reveal, it looks like they have another hit on their hands.
Saying that this is a big week for Wonder Woman is certainly an understatement. Not only is there much buzz surrounding her first solo outing on the silver screen (you can read our review here), but her first annual yielded by the Rebirth era is also set to hit shelves.
Although Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice may not have satisfied each and every moviegoer, there aren't many superhero duos other than the Dark Knight and the Man of Steel that both diehard geeks and everyday folk enjoy seeing team up more. And aside from also having a meeting with the Flash on his wishlist, it seems like Gotham's David Mazouz shares this sentiment.
These days, we've gotten so used to superheroes crossing over on screens both big and small that we sometimes overlook the red tape that may separate them. Late last year, we were treated to a four-show crossover involving Supergirl, The Flash, Arrow and DC's Legends of Tomorrow, but, need we remind you, those all air on The CW. So, aside from the headaches that come with scheduling and budgeting, that was pretty easy to make a reality.
Aside from the underworld getting ready to tear itself apart, one thread that we obviously need to pay attention to going into next week's season finale of Gotham is that of the unfolding situation involving Bruce Wayne that has seen him get involved with the Court of Owls, whom, as it turns out, were merely expendable puppets for the League of Shadows.
