Teen Titans Go! & DC Super Hero Girls: Mayhem in the Multiverse is the latest direct-to-video feature from DC animated, this one geared more toward a younger audience and fans of either property. The Blu-ray-DVD combo pack is available May 24th.
The Batman is a good film. Not great. I did like that Matt Reeves had a different and unique take on the character who has seen the big screen a handful of times dating back to 1989 and while there is room for improvement.
Supergirl: The Complete Sixth Season is the final year of the CW series starring Melissa Benoist, Chyler Leigh, Katie McGrath and David Harewood.
Catwoman: Hunted might not be top shelf entertainment from the DC Animated line but still was passable with some good artwork and voice acting by Elizabeth Gillies in the lead.
It’s that time of year again, a time to spend with family after more than a year of hardship and while there might be issues with a supply chain and more and more are going back to work, there’s still time to spend indoors especially with the weather getting colder and I’ve got a list here of some great titles from a variety of genres, there’s something for everybody.
The Flash: The Complete Seventh Season arrives on Blu-ray and DVD October 12 from Warner Bros. and includes deleted scenes, two featurettes and a gag reel.
I’m not entirely sure how producers can right the ship but with a really mediocre first season and downright messy season two; the writing is probably the biggest culprit more so than the production value, which does sometimes look rather cheap.
Pennyworth: The Complete Second Season arrives on Blu-ray and DVD from Warner Bros. Home Entertainment. The origin behind Bruce Wayne’s loyal butler continues and stars Jack Bannon.
Wonder Woman 1984 was a disappointment, especially when compared with the first film and while I had plenty of issues with some of the story elements, I can’t say it’s bad and probably worthy of a rental or outright purchase to add to ones superhero collection.
V for Vendetta never struck me on an emotional level and it is a bit heavy handed though presumably the graphic novel was pretty close as well, but the performances from both Hugo Weaving and Natalie Portman are strong.
Stargirl is a fun superhero fantasy-adventure featuring some unique characters that haven’t been seen before, most I’ve never heard of, however as much as I have criticized some other DC shows, this one is probably my favorites.
Supergirl: The Complete Fifth Season still has similar struggles from its previous season with the writing and storytelling, and similar troubles to the later seasons of Arrow, but I still like Melissa Benoist in the role.
The Flash: The Complete Sixth Season is still the best of the CW DC shows thanks in large part to the performance by Grant Gustin and a nice ensemble cast, especially Candice Patton and Tom Cavanagh, and some decent storylines.
Superman: Man of Tomorrow is the beginnings of a new animated universe now that the previous New 52 inspired one concluded. The animation style is my biggest question mark but I did enjoy the introductions for both Lobo and Martian Manhunter.
Deathstroke: Knights and Dragons is a well done animated movie and good enough substitution for a live action feature that is unlikely to happen. I did like the story, bridging together the character’s interesting backstory.
