Exactly. I would not want to be a black man underground with Daisy during the final moments of a mid-season finale.

Thanks for taking the time to correct the mistake, unlike another certain reviewer…

There are worse ways to die than dying a hero and saving someone you care for. For instance, you can die of plot contrivance like Trip.

I'm still enjoying the show a lot, but the pacing feels off this season. By the mid-season finale last year we got the reveal that the Reverse Flash was Wells, but I feel like we haven't made any real progress with Zoom. It's a shame because the first season doled out information at a steady clip, and I never felt…

The only trope that's worse is when the public turn on the superhero for no good reason, though I'd sit through it if it brought us Bizarro Supergirl.

Quiet, you! That post was an original creation, like Rickey Rouse and Monald Muck, or Thanos.

This show lacks subtlety! You can't just have your characters announce how they feel! That makes me feel angry!

This week in horrible dialogue:

Forget the partridge, it was all about the "turtle" doves. The French hens were way too adorable, too. Lauren seems to love her puns, though. If she had chosen "partridge in a pear tree" she would've put a Danny Bonaduce topper on her cake.

I can't get over how chunky Batman looks. I know it's just the suit, but all I can think is, "Batman really let himself go."

Rumor is the Wonder Woman movie will explain why she appeared in BvS. DC wants so much to be the opposite of Marvel that their sequels are set-ups for the previous movies.

Stick to the plan!

Just be grateful Savage didn't make it to the family visit so he could cry and fawn over his perfect model wife.

There was also the whole Ducard business in Begins.

Fair enough. Ben Kingsley did great with the role, and I know there's no way they could have or should have pulled off a Fu Manchu Mandarin, but at that point I was tired of "Surprise, the villain is really a white guy!" twists.

When they announced the rogue's gallery for Arkham City, I said to myself, "Wow, this is pretty much everyone I wanted except for _____." When the reveal finally came, I was pretty much like, "OH MY GOD YESSSS!!" "The role of a lifetime!" is just about as good a justification as any. And I loved how the lack of a…

That's the problem. The only ones who would care about the al Ghul reveals are people who had prior knowledge about the characters. The worst is when Marvel co-opted the same type of tactic for their Mandarin reveal.

I'm not sure Nolan's Batman is a great counter-example, given his own penchant for "shocking" reveals.

Twists for the sake of twists and deaths for the sake of death are the biggest problems with storytelling today. The storytellers should learn how to tell good stories without having to rely on twists and fake-outs to make things interesting.

Thanks for asking about Cro! It's amazing how many of the physics lessons it taught have stayed with me over the years (even managed to impress a college engineering professor using knowledge imparted on me by the show).
