One of my complaints with Batman: The Brave and the Bold was its choice in the current Blue Beetle Jaime Reyes over the Silver Age version Ted Kord. Most of the show’s choses have gone towards the classic characters rather than the contemporary version. So when this episode delivers not only Kord but his bosom buddy Booster Gold you know that my inner JLI fan giggled with glee.

Growing up Barry Allen was one of my favorite DC characters. The latest episode of Batman: The Brave and the Bold finds a way to weave in the character’s death and ghostly appearances (without a Crisis), along with of the Golden Age Flash Jay Garrick and Wally West, and a good villain in the Reverse-Flash. The interplay between the Flashes is what really makes this one work (and the look of all three is perfect!).

Season One of Covert Affairs is done. The season finale “When the Levee Breaks” tied-up a few loose ends, including the Anne/Ben relationship (hopefully for good). I liked this first season, especially the episodes that didn’t get hijacked by Anne’s lost love, and am happy it got renewed for a second season beginning next summer. Take a look at the finale below with a few more of my thoughts (*SPOILERS* included) after the jump.
