Bizarro uses baffling verb tense to wreck space-time in The Terrifics.
Gene Luen Yang made our Best Comics of 2019 list for Superman Smashes the Klan, and it is an incredible Superman comic. It's already one of my all-time favorites. I can't wait for it to wrap and come out in a digest I can pass on to newer readers in my life. But if you factor in degree of difficulty, I think his work on The Terrifics might actually be better.
First of all, the last several issues have been written with healthy doses of Bizarro-speak. Trying to reverse dialogue on its own is difficult enough, but when we talked to him about Superman Smashes the Klan earlier this year, Bizarro came up and Yang told us something terrifying: "...There's no established rules for Bizarro speak."
That's right. There's no established house rule for how to translate normal conversation into Bizarro.

When it comes to major costume alterations found in the Arrowverse, I think we as the viewers tend to focus more on the headliners than the supporting characters. Really, whenever Green Arrow or the Flash don a new suit, it’s the talk of the town. I’d like to say the same about Supergirl, but she’s been wearing the same threads since she’s arrived on the scene – barring doppelgangers like Overgirl and Red Daughter, of course.
Still, heads do turn whenever, say, Spartan or Mr. Terrific get an upgrade. But when you think about it, characters like Arsenal, Vibe and the Atom tend to stick to their tried and true. I think that’s one thing that allows Killer Frost to stand out: her look never goes stale.

Though Arrow has played host to a wealth of characters taken from the comics such as Black Canary, Arsenal, Mr. Terrific, the Atom and the Emerald Archer himself, it’s also injected new personalities into the mythos throughout its run. In fact, this is a familiar practice for TV shows in the genre, lest we forget that Chloe Sullivan and Lionel Luthor were unknown quantities before Smallville came around.
Before the series debuted in 2012, one could imagine Oliver Queen existing without the likes of John Diggle or Felicity Smoak orbiting him, but now it just seems downright impossible to do so. Given that, lead actor Stephen Amell hopes these additions to the enduring tale stick around long after he’s hung up his leather hood, saying the following in an interview with The Music Australia:
“One of the things that I’m most proud about is that, 25 years from now,...

In the past, I’ve likened the current season of Arrow to pro wrestling, due to its emphasis on factions and their splitting. Already, we’ve seen the team fracture down the center, with the newbies and old guard going about their separate ways. Of course, Diggle going off and doing his own thing doesn’t help matters, as Oliver Queen seems alone now more than ever.
Strengthening my allegory will be April 26th’s episode, which is titled “Shifting Allegiances.”Of course, there’s no way to pin down exactly how that portentous term will be applied, but the newly surfaced synopsis provides a few hints:
Oliver turns to an old friend to help battle Diaz; Rene is out of the hospital but has a hard time readjusting to life as Wild Dog; Lance discovers something shocking about Black Siren.
Having read that, “Shifting Allegiances” could be referring to...

In recent years, journalists and fans alike have kept their eyes affixed to DC’s YouTube channel, especially because their daily web series, DC All Access, often drops major news about the brand’s latest happenings across all forms of media. Unfortunately, it’s been largely absent for a couple months, but has thankfully made an unexpected return.
Admittedly, it’d have been preferable to see the show’s comeback three weeks ago when the wealth of midseason premieres were kicking off, but better late than never, right?
Getting back on track, the first “#Dctv ” video in some time features valuable information regarding this week’s episodes of Supergirl, Black Lightning and Arrow, including some educational comic book connections. And while we could probably discuss this all day, it’s the Arrow tease that was hardest to ignore.
Let it be known that while host Hector Navarro touched on this only briefly,...

Now that 2018 is officially underway and we have the holidays behind us, it’s about time that we get back to the TV shows that we love. To be more specific, folks like me can’t wait to resume the current season of what DC has to offer and, fortunately, that’ll arrive next week with a slew of midseason premieres, culminating with the returning episode of Arrow.
So, after spoiling us with a fresh batch of images culled from the appropriately titled “Divided,” the network is willing to let loose yet another goodie in the form of an extended trailer. Being considerably meatier than any other promo video we’ve seen since the winter hiatus began, we get more hints as to how fractured Team Arrow truly is, with the originals – Oliver Queen, John Diggle and Felicity Smoak – going about their own way, and the rest – Wild Dog, Black...
