DC Conquers TV at #SDCC2017
If you turn on the CW at any point during the week now, there’s a good chance you’ll be seeing a show based on a DC Comics character. In a craze that started with Arrow in 2012, DC Comics has a slew of shows all over your television. On the CW alone we have Arrow,…
Geek Mystique: Lifestyle News for October
Y’all, there’s so much going on this month, this is going to be a packed one, what with the Geek High Holy Day, that would be Halloween, approaching! Sure, we geeks like any excuse to cosplay and indulge our geek fantasies all year, but there’s just something about the month of October that makes all…
Supergirl is Up, Up, and Away on the CW
Last night saw the Season 2 premiere of Supergirl, now on the CW. And while no one expected the sophomore season on a smaller network to match the show’s numbers during its tenure on CBS, the fact is Supergirl blew us all away, delivering the most-watched show during its time period for the CW in nearly…
Supergirl’s White Kryptonite
There aren’t many shows I really love these days. For every Jane the Virgin or Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, there seems to be a corresponding amount of hard-boiled police procedurals headlined by square-jawed and serious men. Still, it’s not a leap to say that I love Supergirl.

DC Daily Planet: Supergirl, Powerless, and the Countdown Continues
It’s been a big week for TV news with both cancellations and series pickups rolling in at breakneck speed. CBS’s Supergirl is making the network jump to the CW to begin filming in Vancouver rather than Los Angeles. What this move means for returning cast and future storylines is yet to be determined but after…
Supermoms: Martyred, Fridged, Forgotten
Mother’s Day is a day we celebrate the woman (or women) in our lives that fulfill the role of “mother.” Mothers—the good and the bad ones—are an important part of our lives. Moms that worry about what media teaches their children, what superheroes are really super, and so much more. Mothers are important; their absence…
Amanda Waller & Laurel Lance: Dead and Disrespected On Arrow
CW’s Arrow is no stranger to killing characters, particularly female characters. Since Arrow’s inception, the show has prided itself on taking cues from Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight franchise, and portrayed a gritter side of Green Arrow mythology and canon. Arrow gave fans a fraught view of Oliver Queen as a man who struggled with PTSD…
DC Daily Planet: Woo! Woo! Etta Candy, Super Hero Girls, and Ben Affleck
This week’s DCDP is going to be all about catching up on the news from corners of the DCU that got pushed to the side in the frenzy of keeping up to date with Rebirth. Can you believe it? We’re finally living in a (sort of) post-Rebirth Panic world. We made it, you guys. There’s…
The Present (and Future) of Iris West
I had no plans to write about the depiction of Iris West on The Flash because I thought my grumbling tweets were enough and that other people who were more moved by it could take it on. I didn’t think I needed to be the person, because to be honest, the fun of the show…
DC Daily Planet: #Rebirth Watch, Starfire, and flying to Gotham City
So here we are, wrapping up week three of DC’s Rebirth news/buzz/rumors fiasco, and honestly? We don’t have a ton to show for it. I wish I could say I’m surprised by this. Here are some things that have been pinned down and confirmed since the last time we took a look: Scott Snyder is definitely…
