Triumvirate of Terror!

Alan Rapp / October 9, 2011 / Television Reviews

Title: Batman: The Brave and the Bold – Triumvirate of Terror!
tv.com: link

The intro segment is pure Silver Age foolishness (hey, I’m not complaining!) featuring the JLI battling the Legion of Doom in a baseball game called by Jimmy Olsen (Alexander Polinsky). Things look bleak for our heroes until Batman (Diedrich Bader) gives the team a rousing pep talk in the bottom of the Ninth about winning the game for the young kids watching in the stands like little Julie Schwatz and Frankie Miller (nice touch).

Luther – Series Two, Episode Two

Title: Luther – Series Two, Episode Two
tv.com: link

Series Two continues with one very long day for DCI John Luther (Idris Elba). Ripley (Warren Brown) has been taken hostage by the serial killer Cameron Pell (Lee Ingleby) whose end game is far more nefarious than a slowly rising body count. Luther is blackmailed by Jenny’s boss (Pam Ferris) who wants very much for Luther to silence a witness who could put her grandson Toby (David Dawson) in jail. And, just to top things off, Alice Morgan (Ruth Wilson) decides to break into his apartment and pay him a visit. Like I said, big day.
