DC Television!

  [Courtesy of Warner Bros/DC Comics]

So it's no secret that I am a huge fan of all things Marvel, but what about DC? When it comes to television, DC has some great shows. But my absolute favourite has got to be The Flash.

Now I hear you all saying what about Arrow, or Gotham? But they are a bit too dark for my own taste. I enjoy my Superheroes with just a little cheese factor, as a constant serious tone will eventually put me off. So I just recently discovered the Flash and managed to binge watch the hell out of the first season.

I actually cannot believe that Grant Gustin will not be playing the Flash on the big screen. I don't think I'd be interested in watching The Flash Movie as it will just be a rehashing of what we have right now, which I'm not interested in watching.

So what is so good about this show? It's funny, lighthearted, yet it can be serious. There are great twists and turns for everyone and also some great easter eggs for those that know what to look for.

Metahuman's are usually the big enemies but sometimes its just horrible humans, like my current favourite villian, Captain Cold. There's even a Gorilla in this series, who wouldn't want to see that?

If you haven't watched The Flash yet, as some people out there stay away from everything DC besides Batman, then give it a shot. If you don't like it then try something more dark like Arrow or Gotham.

Another show which has a similar tone to The Flash is Supergirl. You might get fed up hearing the words, "My Cousin," but it does have a lot of spirit and some great potential. I suppose I'm being too hard on the cousin thing but I just feel like this show needs to remind you of that fact, even if we already know it.

So I guess what this whole post is designed to do is remind everyone that no matter if it's Marvel or DC superhero television is great. If you enjoy cheesy Marvel stuff then you will enjoy the DC cheese. Same goes for the dark stuff. Give Superheroes a chance!

Game of Thrones - The Hall of Faces Trailer and Theories!

I've been watching out for this trailer for the past week and was pretty excited to see some footage from the new season. Instead we got to see the faces of characters, some of whom are long lost, and others who have yet to leave us. SPOILER WARNING for those who haven't caught up with season five. The trailer takes place in the Hall of Faces, which is inside the House of Black and White in Braavos. The hall looks great, creepy but great. We can hear some whispers which are too quiet for me to make out. Then Ned's (Sean Bean) face appears on screen, we then hear him say a line from the show's first ever episode called Winter is Coming.    "The Man who passes the sentence should swing the sword." The screen then fades to black and we then see a clip of some more rows of heads. We then hear even more whispers and which I think sounds like some drops of waters. We then hear the voice of Robb Stark (Richard Madden) who we hear give a quote from seaso...

Daredevil Season 2 Trailer

SPOILERS, as always for those who haven't watched season one.  So everyone's favorite Blind(ish) Superhero is back in a new trailer. Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox) is feeling guilty, maybe for the death of Ben Urich (Vondie Curtis-Hall) last season, maybe for something completely different. Father Lantom (Peter McRobbie) tells Matt that guilt can be a good, although Karen (Deborah Ann Woll) and Foggy (Elden Henson) also look plenty guilty in this teaser trailer. We then see a bunch of clips including Claire Temple (Rosario Dawson) in her nurse scrubs, and Elektra (Elodie Yung) getting her mask on, all while hearing a voice over from Father Lantom who indicates that it may be because Matt's work as Daredevil is not yet finished. We then see Karen Page holding a Punisher skull on a x-ray and looking pretty freaked out by it. Then comes what I am most looking forward to, Frank Castle (Jon Bernthal) is here, in a hospital (watch out Claire) and looking pretty bad ass if I do...

Agents of Shield: Devils You Know

Better the devil you know, woooohoooo.. sorry I was channeling my Kylie Minogue there, apologies. Episode four of the third season was filled with it's usual twists and turns. Being a Marvel fanboy, well girl (is fangirl a thing?), I love everything those folks throw at me, even if it isn't the best I can't seem to take these damn goggles off. SPOILERS ARE COMING! Lets dive right in shall we? Ok so the episode starts with a couple cooking dinner, the woman asks about chicken (tell me about it, cooking the stuff does my head in) and the next thing we know there is a knock at the door. In comes Alisha (Alicia Vela-Bailey), you remember her as she has similar abilities to that of Multiple Man from the X-Men's worst film and the comics. We find out this couple are pre fish oil inhumans, and Alisha warns them of a danger facing all inhumans. The couple tell her of an email they received and then comes in the big bad, Lash (Matthew Willig) and he murders all three of the...
