Vincent D’Onofrio would take on a role in the DC Extended Universe

by

Season one of Daredevil was a delightful surprise for many reasons. For starters, it was a live-action interpretation of Daredevil that wasn’t terrible, and it also featured fight-choreography that put most Marvel movies to shame. Lastly: Kingpin. Vincent D’Onofrio’s Kingpin was sophisticated, terrifying, cruel, and absolutely mesmerising to watch. In a universe with a history […]

Supergirl Season 5 Episode 8 Review – ‘The Wrath of Rama Khan’

by

Martin Carr reviews the eighth episode of Supergirl season 5… This might be the warm up episode prior to cross over shenanigans but it still comes across as copy book stuff.

The Flash Season 6 Episode 8 Review – ‘The Last Temptation of Barry Allen Part 2’

by

Jessie Robertson reviews the eighth episode of The Flash season 6… In the follow up to last week’s amazing psychological mindtrip can’t quite live up to it’s opening chapter in Part 2. With Barry taken over by Ramsey (whom Cisco eloquently dubbed “Dark Flash”), the team is nearly wittled down to nothing. Iris and Cisco […]
