BEWARE OF SPOILERS I’ve been looking forward to some backstory on Darkseid since the announcement of each of the individual titles that would be making up ‘Villains Month’ as he’s a character I’ve come across only once or twice and for whom I know very little of the history.

Directed by Rick Morales Written by John Matta & Matt Weinhold Watch ‘Beware the Batman’ live on Cartoon Network USA, Saturdays @ 10! BEWARE OF SPOILERS Okay brace yourselves, I’m about to make a negative comment about ‘Beware the Batman’ for the first time in quite a while, possibly ever… Alfred is still missing from this show for the third episode in a row. This show is focussing heavily on the Batman/Katana relationship and losing focus on the core three characters who were the heart at the beginning of the series. We’ve quickly forgotten Bruce’s reluctance to hire Tatsu and her…
Directed by Jason Ensler Written by Rick Eid and Jeffrey Nachmanoff Catch ‘Hostages’ on CBS, Mondays 10/9c and catchup at CBS.com BEWARE OF SPOILERS In week two news ‘Hostages’ took a dip in it’s ratings, enough that critics are placing heavy bets on it being an early victim of the cancellation axe for this season and I’ll admit that I’m a little worried that’s the way it’s going to go… but then most of the shows I like end up cancelled sooner or later.

Directed by John F. Showalter Story by Phillip Iscove Teleplay by Jose Molina Catch ‘Sleepy Hollow’ on Fox, Mondays @ 9/8c. Catch up at Fox.com BEWARE OF SPOILERS In week three ‘Sleepy Hollow’ has completely left behind any ideas that it may be a simple retelling of the headless horseman and cemented itself as a strong entry in to the realm of occult television shows. In other news the rating continue to hold strong so if the slippage can remain minuscule for the next couple of weeks it should level out as having a healthy enough audience to keep it on the…

BEWARE OF SPOILERS Chapter two of the ‘Recharged’ story begins to push the envelope of the story by scaling up the action and the emotion without branching out of the franchise so far that it loses its authenticity. Picking up where the last chapter left off Commissioner Gordon visits the family of the recently deceased Mayor in the hunt for clues as to the cause of his heart-attack. Very early on in this issue we see that…
