Televised Reviews & Recaps this week 

Agents Of Shield & GOT

"Providence"

Providence is a good episode for setting up the dominoes for the season finale, but does little of what it promised during the episodes promo.  Read our review for it here

The Lion & The Rose

The episode itself is not a bad one, but seems more near to being part 1.2 of the premiere of season 4. Continued on the full review

The 100 & Arrow

Twilights last gleaming  

First things first, I am so far a big fan of this show.

It’s doing everything right as far as a story should.It’s got romance, action and mystery. Everything that needs to be there to keep one interested. The writing is beautiful and so is the acting. Continue review

Comic book updates & News (All new ultimates and new 52 relaunches)

Grayson

 Yes that is Dick Grayson with a gun! Batman would be ashamed! 

 After the recent issue of forever evil we see Grayson meet a deadly fate from Lex Luthor affecting the bat universe as a whole, and altering Dick grayson (sidekick to batman) Aka Robin, and later taking up his own mantle as Nightwing. Dick Grayson is now taking up another identity by working with a spy corporation that has ties with batman inc "Spyral." 

The new title will be called "Grayson" and will take us on a new path we have never seen before from him. 

The isolation from the batfamily might also allow us to get more up and personal with the man behind the mask, and a potential arch nemesis of his own. 

Mostly this seems like something i dont neccesarilly agree with and takes a character away from a genre hes done so well in. Masked hero to superspy? 

Maybe we will get Nightwing back eventually, but until then it seems the Nightwing mantle has been destroyed. 

The man behind the mask still lives, which should be a good thing though, right? 

I think im starting to get reboot whiplash here.

Anyone else? 

As of here recently we have also hear news that Teen Titans and Suicide Squad are also coming to a close after issue #30.
Dont fret though, because Teen Titans and Suicide Squad will relaunch with an all new series and new cast members.
Wondergirl, Red Robin, Bunker?.. its been awhile since i read the latest series.. meaning no superboy or kid flash this time around. Also joining them will be Raven and Beast boy.
According to the comic creators Superboy and flash will most likely join the team later on.

What I cant seem to understand is why DC couldnt of passed the old series off onto a new creative team. Its practically got the same team! it doesnt look like anything has changed! Why go through 2 1/2 years just to reboot a somewhat perfectly good series? It makes no sense to me... We see Raven and Beast boy joining the team titans toward the most recent issues of the last teen titans series.. Its comic books! You dont reboot comicbooks! Seriously? when did this whole relaunch every 2 years become a thing!? I know some of the good series are continuing, and Teen Titans is one of the good ones thats just getting a short ending when it doesn't need one. Lets keep the continuity, please? Either way, i have hope that it can surpass the most recent teen titans, and make good attempts to not waste my time every month. In all honestly I love Teen Titans.. so hopefully theyll get serious with it this time around, thats all.

As far as Suicide Squad, I read the first few issues enough to know that it was really good, and definitely wasnt afraid to take any risks. This time around with the relaunch we have a few new kick ass members to the team... Jokers "non-biological" daughter and Deathstoke, Slade Wilson. From the cover art it actually seems like the two are trying to take the suicide squad down... I guess we will see come this July...
My opinion on needless relaunching I laid out above is clearly what i think here... it seems pointless. but atleast its more organized then marvels now cluster F-

Marvel Now New Ultimates

After the large Ultimate crossover in the ultimate universe, everything has been completely altered, bringing with it new changes for ongoing ultimate comics and bringing with it new ones.

Ultimate FF stands for not fantastic four... but for Future Foundation?

The comic is by Joshua Hale Fialkov and Mario Guevara, the comic book will follow:

Sue Storm, Tony Stark, Machine Man and Sam Wilson (Flacon) as a team, affected by the events of cataclysm, coming together to make a change.

The New Ultimates have recently just sprung this spring, so keep a lookout and read our review. of the first issue #FF an All New Ultimates

 Brian Michael Bendis, Michel Fiffe and Joshua Hal Fialkov have put a new spin on the marvel ultimate universe by adding in  f Iron Man, Kitty Pryde, Sue Storm, Black Widow, Cloak & Dagger and more in an all-new and exciting direction after the devastating events of Cataclysm.

 All New Ultimates sounds like the Avengers with the ultimate spin.

 Spider-Man, Black Widow (formally Spider-Woman), Kitty Pryde, Bombshell, Cloak & Dagger officially unite to tackle the vicious, rampant crime wave overtaking Hell’s Kitchen! But can this new team of Ultimates stand up to the murderous gang known only as the Serpent Skulls?

The cover art looks good, it definitely makes me curious as to see how this ensemble of teens can work together.

Make sure to Read all New Ultimates and everything else marvel ultimate now, and keep posted for the issue review later today!

Harley Quinn In Arrow

Harley Quinn, or no Harley Quinn? 

The topic of Harely Quinn making an appearance on Arrow I can assume has caused some controversy for the fans of arrow that know who Harley Quinn is. 

With the rise of the Batman Arkham videogames and their final game releasing soon, it’d be very uncommon to not know who Harley Quinn is.

Who is Harley Quinn? 

 Harley Quinn is a female sidekick that fights alongside the joker in the animated television series of batman in 1992. Her character didn’t make an appearance in the comics until The Batman Adventures: #12 in 1993. Her second appearance featured as a retelling of her origin story, The Batman Adventures: Mad Love  (Special)was released in 1994. Harley Quinn seems to be a very beloved character and has mostly been featured having very close ties with the joker until very recently where we see her being forced to work for the suicide squad, keeping in mind that she does attempt to return to the joker until she ends up back with the suicide squad.

Suicide Squad (Arrow)

The name, ‘The Suicide Squad’ might sound a little familiar as it is the team of criminals, “villains” led by Amanda Waller in episode 16, season 2 of Arrow.

In the episode where we first meet the team of suicide squad we hear a remark from a woman behind a cell

Watch the video here 

The voice is clearly Harely Quinn.

A lot of people watching the episode the night it aired had already got wind that she might be in the episode.

In the promo for suicide squad theirs an image of a blonde woman in the same prison get up, with her face looking the opposite way of the camera.

Another indication was the rumor that Cassidy Alexa (as Harley Quinn), was going to appear in the episode, when the rumor was followed up her people responded, that she was but they did not know who she would be.

A week or so after the episode we heard from Arrows producer

“For one thing, we didn’t expect it to end up in the promo, so we were caught a little off guard, on that front.  Andrew was very much like, ‘I totally knew people would lose their minds.’  And I was like, ‘Really?!’ I did not expect people to lose their minds the way they did, but I was very glad.  So, Andrew was a lot more prepared than I was…
 I want to manage expectations with respect to Harley Quinn.  She was always intended to be an Easter egg.  I don’t want people to go in with incorrect expectations and walk away from Episode 16 disappointed.  But there is an element to the Easter egg that was not spoiled by the promo, that I think people will find a lot of fun.”

It seems like he doesn’t want to anger fans, and this is him saying that it was just an easter egg an nothing else. Another quote of this also goes into him saying that a discussion with DC would have to be undergone before they consider even brining her onto the show.

Hope of Harley Quinn making an apperance or that Cassidy Alexa would play seems like it really is all just a rumor when you notice the credit for the episode, suicide squad credits Tara Strong of the deranged lady behind the cell. Tara strong is the main voice for Harley in the newest Batman video games.

And then this comes along?

Cassidy Alexa, as Harley Quinn? It can’t be true!... But I guess it is!?

We all know that in the next few episodes of Arrow we will probably see the suicide squad again, this time with a new addition to the team. Hopefully Harley?

A different look at this could be that she went and did the shot,(it was obviously when they did the episode 16 'suicide Squad shooting) and they decided to remove it and do something else instead, maybe because DC did not like the idea or because the producers thought it was too much. Cassidy Alexa was to be credited in the episode but never appeared. Does this mean are chances of seeing Harley Quinn in Arrow are 0, or that there is a real chance that we just may see her alongside the suicide squad?
