It’s Happening! Supergirl And The Flash Are Crossing Over!

its-happening

Well after months of speculation DC has confirmed via Entertainment Weekly that Barry Allen is heading to National City to hang out with Kara Danvers.  Then later that night Grant Gustin shared a pic of the script titled “Worlds Finest”.  As it has been pointed out by just about everyone the lack of an apostrophe is important meaning that Supergirl is actually on like Earth 3 or 4 or something in relation to the Arrowverse.  Hopefully Earth 4 leaving Earth 3 to occupied by a grown up Owlman.  We can only hope all this universe hoping leads to a ‘Crisis’ to flatten them all in to one!

March will now contain two major media DC team-ups!

The BBC’s War & Peace Is Lacking On The War

war-and-peace

The BBC’s new miniseries War & Peace is Leo Tolstoy through Jane Austen’s lens.  It spends all of its time on the glamorous balls and parties, but almost no time at war.  Which is a shame since the brotherhood of soldiers is such a major theme of the book.  However, what they have created, Russia by way of Britain, is very entertaining.  If you are a fan of period drama, you will enjoy your time with War & Peace.

The acting, the sets, and the costumes are all wonderful.  The BBC knows how to create a period pieces better than just about anyone else.  It is just a shame they couldn’t have found a couple of Russians to be in it, or at the very least a few Frenchmen since all the Russian aristocracy spoke French at that time.  What I am saying is you can tell this is the BBC’s version of War & Peace, and not a straight up retelling of the book, but if you are looking for a good period drama this will probably fit the bill quite nicely.

The CW Is Adding Another Comic Book TV Show To The Mix With Riverdale!

For those of you that don’t know who lives in Riverdale, or who weren’t clued in by the Archie Comics pic, Riverdale is where Archie and his friends live.  While there have been several Archie cartoons and TV shows over the years including all the Archie spinoffs, Archie Comics and the CW are hoping this is the series that sticks.  Honestly attractive kids in high school sounds right up the CW’s alley.  It is more surprising that they haven’t tried developing Archie sooner.  It is being produced by Berlanti Productions of Arrow, The Flash, DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, and Supergirl fame, so they have had some success converting comics in to TV (not so much with movies).  As an Archie fan I am hoping this turns out well!  Though I am getting to the point where I could use a few less shows to watch.

Beattles music and katana! I am soooooo in!  I mean, I am generally in for whatever LAIKA makes, but this movie hits all the right notes for me (Notes, get it? I am so darn clever!  You are sooooo lucky to have me as a virtual friend).  It is going to be hard to wait for August for this to come out.  I guess I will have to bide my time watching the eight-million comic book movies coming out this year.
