I had finally gotten round to seeing the WB/DC movie Black Adam. I had been interested in going to the cinema. Mixed reviews. The DCU is being rebooted. I had watched the animation called Superman/Shazam! The Return Of Black Adam. Really good special effects. Good cast of actors, they had good chemistry. I like the soundtrack especially the main theme. A few hot women, highlight being Sarah Shahi. I like that Adam takes no prisoners. It does have a good bit of violence and swearing. In an ancient city somewhere in Africa or the Middle East there are slaves working at the mines. Searching for minerals. They do rebel against the king. No subtitles for the language that they spoke. 5000 years later and some revolutionaries are looking for a lost crown. Intergang are a villainous organisation. Currently appearing in Superman And Lois. They are running things. I knew that there would be a suspicious character. Adam has been awakened. The villains want the crown. Meanwhile the Justice Society are coming over from America to stop Black Adam. Amanda Waller has given them the mission. There are those Easter eggs. I wasn't bothered about any love story. Shazam Fury Of The Gods will be out soon.

Shazam! Fury Of The Gods. Released in the cinemas 2023. Has had mixed reviews. I liked the first one. Watched Black Adam not long ago. There would have been a battle between the rivals in another film. But that won't happen now. The DC universe is rebooted. I paid £15.99 on Google TV. I could have watched this for free on one of those sites. Set in Philadelphia. Rosa, Super Darla, Anthea and Mary are pretty. Nice rack on Mary. I did find Billy and Freddy to be annoying. The special effects, acting and soundtrack were good. So you have the foster family living their daily lives and being superheroes too. They have the Rock Of Eternity as a secret lair. Billy is trying to keep the family together. The others want to do their own thing. Meanwhile these sisters who are goddesses have arrived on Earth. They have taken the magic staff. They want the powers back which the wizard had taken and granted to Billy. They do argue amongst themselves. Anne is the new girl that has taken a liking to Freddy. One of the sisters wants to punish humanity. The other just wants the powers back. Cameos had already been spoilt. They could have ended the story in one way and it would not have mattered. Plenty of violence. I wasn't actually going to see this film. I ignore reviews. See trivia and discussions. 

Superman and Lois

After seeing some clips and I follow the CW DC universe. I have started watching Superman And Lois. On It is quite dark and emotional. Like with Nolan or Snyder films. It is post crisis Earth. Lois and Clark work at the Daily Planet. The two teenagers Jonathan and Jordan are off to college. I like how the characters are fleshed out. There will be people who can relate to Jordan. A great soundtrack. There is a new antagonist. I won't write about future episodes as it would contain spoilers. I am hoping that Stargirl makes a return. I last watched Justice League. Still tuning in for The Flash, Legends Of Tomorrow. I wasn't a fan of Tyler Hoechlin. But he will grow on you. It is like when there is a new Doctor or 007. You are used to older versions. WB are involved in the making of the this show. I am going to see some reaction channels. I enjoyed Bitsie Tulloch in Grimm.

Prime Video

The legendary film maker Richard Donner has passed away.

I have started watching Season 2 of Superman & Lois. Tyler Hoechlin, Elizabeth Tulloch, Jordan Elsass, Alex Garfin, Wole Parks. Natalie arrived on this Earth from a parallel universe just like her father John. Has a tough time adjusting. The boys are growing and have girlfriends. Lois is trying to do her job and also cope with having Natalie in her life. Clark trying to save the world one day at a time. As Superman went to rescue a North Korean submarine. Lieutenant Anderson is not pleased. He wants to know that Superman puts American first. He is putting a team together of gifted individuals. Meanwhile a villain for this season is emerging. It has been revealed in interviews who that is. Best just to not look into it. I did think that this season might not be as big as the first one. It is on the CW. Later on the BBC.

Level up

I have just started watching The Flash season 8. Central City. A lot of people are levelling up. Grant Gustin, Candace Patton and the rest are back. There were mixed reviews regarding last season. I liked it. Anyhow a new big bad has entered the scene. Despero is his name. A shape-shifting alien. He came from the future. He believes that Barry will cause the apocalypse. Team Flash will stop him whatever it takes. Ray Palmer has visited as there is a convention on. Chester acts as his liaison. The business run by Iris is much bigger. Allegra is promoted. I remember that the actor playing Despero was Van Gogh in Doctor Who. Showing on the Cwtv. Take a look at some reaction channels such as Married2ThaReal, Blind Wave, Legends Of Podcasting. The theme tune has changed slightly. Kramer is still on the force. However it is on friendlier terms. This is a five part crossover event to kick things off.

Title Actor Director Studio

Ninjabattoman

I have just watched Batman Ninja on Netflix. The world of Dc meets Manga/Anime. Over in Gotham, Gorilla Grodd has a time machine. He sets things into motion. Batman with a bunch of other characters are transported to Ancient Japan. The graphics and animation are very different. Originally recorded in Japanese. I watched the English dub. You will see influences from Monkey, Power Rangers in later scenes. It does take a lot of time and effort to make animation as I had been told by a lecturer and I did a minor bit myself. Some scenes would be in 2D. You have to suspend disbelief at some battle scenes. Different villains run various states in Japan. This is an opportunity for them to conquer the country and change the course of history. Great voice actors and animation. You will like the soundtrack. One jpop song felt out of place. See the reaction videos on YouTube. I did see Gotham By Gaslight last year. What would the residents make of the things happening in their town? I remember seeing the trailer and was interested. I had googled time travel films. Batman should end the Joker once and for all. I saw some characters that were Robin, Red Robin, Red Hood and Nightwing. How many sidekicks do you need? I will look at the back story.

Task force x

I went to see The Suicide Squad at Cineworld. I would class this as a sequel. Some old faces return and new ones are introduced. James Gunn directs. Margot Robbie, Idris Elba, John Cena, Flula Borg, Pete Davison, Viola Davis, Peter Capaldi, Sylvester Stallone, Sean Gunn, Nathan Fillion, Joel Kinnaman, David Dastmalchian, Daniela Melchior, Taika Waititi, Alice Braga, Michael Rooker, Jai Courtney, Storm Reid amongst others star in this film. It does contain gratuitous violence, gore, sex, swearing and nudity. Some nice boobs on display. If you enjoy The Boys then you might like this. Task Force X have been sent to an island. There have been top secret experiments happening there. They must destroy the lab and all the evidence. The local government stands in their way. Surprised at how it pans out in the beginning for some of the characters. It had been getting praise. Good use of visual graphics and special effects. Nice soundtrack. There is a TV series happening too. Daniela and Margot are hot. Impressive fight scenes. Good humour. A great cast of actors that includes the extras and stunt team. The CW would not be able to get away with half the shit. I haven't seen the Harley Quinn show that is amusing from a few of the clips that I have seen. Interesting to see what others think. I decided to watch David Ayer's Suicide Squad again. I had no problem with it. Downloaded another song from the soundtrack.

I have just watched Justice League Snyder Cut. Available on Hbo Max and NowTv. It is very different to the version released in 2017. That one was directed by Joss Whedon. He made significant changes. A lot of footage on the cutting room floor. I liked the old version and this one. Many got screwed over especially Ray Fisher and Zack Snyder. The Cyborg and Flash got more airtime in this. The soundtrack has been redone. Not sure about the Wonder Woman theme in this version. The film is darker and more adult. You might the soundtrack. Worth checking out. Well taking place after Batman Vs Superman. Bruce Wayne wants to get a team together as the world is in danger. Steppenwolf is here to gather the Motherboxes for Darkseid. Some scenes that were in the 2017 version are featured here. They did cut other bits out. I noticed that the European family aren't in it. With all the allegations that came out about Whedon this is the final nail in the coffin. It is longer than Avengers Endgame. It is in parts too.

 Kill The Justice League

I have watched DC Stargirl. I remember some weirdos were triggered by the trailer. This is an origin story. If you like Gotham, Smallville, Shazam, Buffy, Spiderman, Stranger Things then this is what you should see. Looking at the cast list I recognise names. Amy Smart looks good. Luke Wilson also stars. Good special effects. You will like the soundtrack. Starts off with a battle scene. Jump 10 years later. You have a young family. Step parents. They have just mover into this town. Some of the villains still reside. The protagonist Courtney is trying her best to fit in. You do get a few reveals within the first episode. I predicted some plot twists. I won't share them though. Courtney is pretty. Nice ass in those shorts. She finds a few items that contain information about the JSA. She gets a hold of the Cosmic Staff. Trouble isn't far away. With the battle you have Pat calling out the names of characters. It gives info to the audience.

 After having watched clips on YouTube I am watching Community on Netflix. From Dan Harmon. It is a surreal comedy. It has a great cast of actors. It was launched in 2009. Britta and Annie are hot. Jeff has been working as a Lawyer. Now disqualified he goes to a community college. The others have back stories. He creates a study group. Which is how the main cast would meet. Ken Jeong plays a Spanish teacher. John Oliver was in the early parts of the show, played Prof Duncan. Many memorable lines which often are quoted in the comments section. Chevy Chase is someone that I grew up watching. Troy is a jock, Shirley a divorcee. Abed suffers from Aspergers. His father owns a restaurant. Annie is enthusiastic. I had been looking at the tension between cast members. Do feel sorry for Chevy. However some of the things he had said to Danny were unacceptable. Pierce was a CEO. Speaks his mind. The Dean makes an occasional appearance. Good writing. Plenty of references. With some of these shows the US and Canada air them. Sometimes they aren't available in some countries. I had missed some shows. The characters will develop over time. Plenty of guest stars. I recently saw Joel in Stargirl.
Six seasons and a movie.

Joe McHale The legend of Chevy Chase Alison Brie films and tv Gillian Jacobs upcoming releases Yvette Nicole Brown Dani Pudi Six seasons and a movie Donald Glover Childish Gambino I have just started watching Stargirl season 2. We are back in Blue Valley. The opening scene is creepy. Quite like a Stephen King story. The JSA are hunting for more villains. It retains the quality of the first season. The teens are struggling with new issues. The summer break is approaching. We know that Cindy is still out there plotting revenge. This is the aftermath of the big battle. You can see by how much the cast has grown. A hero is here and Starman is coming back to the town. Showing on the CW and Amazon.

I don't really need to blog about a show season by season. So this is my last one. Stargirl season 3 Frenemies. Starman has returned and is figuring out what to do with his life. Courtney and friends are dealing with college and superhero work. New members have joined the JSA. The family had returned from holiday. The Gambler has come back to Blue Valley. He has a daughter that he wishes to connect with. The Shade is out and about. The Crock family live in the neighbourhood. Solomon Grundy could return. There is a murder. People are trying to see who they can trust. The female cast look hot. I was surprised to find that it was out already. It is a good DC show. There were characters introduced last season that shall be looked at. I have ideas about who might be a little sus. I tried watching on the CW site via a Vpn. However there is always a buffering, loading or visual issue. So I had to find one of those sites that have pop up ads. For reaction channels I recommend Blindwave and Legends Of Podcasting.
