Batman: The Adventures Continue Season Two #1 comic reviewBatman: The Adventures Continue, um, continue in a new volume. Writers Alan Burnett and Paul Dini, and artist Ty Templeton, all return for the first issue of Season Two which introduces the Court of Owls to the expanded DC Animated Universe. Issue #1 focuses on a Talon killing Mayor Hill and doesn’t get too bogged down in the backstory of the secret organization who created zombie soldiers to rule Gotham City from the shadows.

Batman: The Adventures Continue Season Two #1 also brings in Deadman, who up until this point has yet to meet Batman (confirming events from this comic take place before the Justice League Unlimited episode “Dead Reckoning,” while also creating a continuity error as the episode states Batman originally met Deadman while helping the spirit solve his own murder).

Leverage: Redemption - The Too Many Rembrandts Job TV review

It’s been more than eight years since the final episode of Leverage aired. The core cast, last seen in “The Long Good-bye Job,” all return for the new series with one notable exception. The choice to move forward without Timothy Hutton, whose character acted as a central spoke all the other parts of the show played off of, leaves a large hole at the center of the new series which Leverage: Redemption honors in its first episode. “The Too Many Rembrandts Job” opens with Sophie (Gina Bellman) long out of the game still mourning the loss of Nate who died one year earlier. Hoping to raise their friends spirits, Parker (Beth Riesgraf), Eliot (Christian Kane), and Hardison (Aldis Hodge) attempt to lure Sophie into a small museum theft. At first uninterested, Sophie notices a man in need of help leading to the band coming back together for “one job.”

The Boss Baby: Family Business

The Boss Baby: Family Business movie reviewThe sequel to 2017’s The Boss Baby picks up the story where an adult Tim (James Marsden) and Ted (Alec Baldwin) are recruited back into action by Tim’s baby daughter (Amy Sedaris) to save the world from a villain’s (Jeff Goldblum) evil plot. The story involves the pair getting turned back into the younger versions of themselves from the first film and infiltrating the local school. The film opens with the idea that schools, and learning/growing, are evil, something that it only grudgingly pulls back from. In a world where an entire segment of the population mistakenly cherishes this belief, using a family motion picture to, in any way, promote that idea is criminally negligent.

Star Wars: The Bad Batch - Rampage / Decommissioned television review

“Rampage” and “Decommissioned” both find the Bad Batch (all voiced by Dee Bradley Baker working for a Trandoshan named Cid who promises to exchange information and a cut of the stakes in each job the squad takes on for her. Both episodes also tie in to various other aspects of the Star Wars universe. In “Rampage,” the Bad Batch is sent to Ord Mantell to rescue a kidnapped child (who turns out to be a Rancor). In “Decommissioned” the squad attempts to steal a T-series tactical droid on Corellia before it is destroyed only to run into a legion of droids guarding the facility and Rafa (Elizabeth Rodriguez ) and Trace Martez (Brigitte Kali Canales) who are also after the lucrative prize.

The Flash - P.O.W. television review

Godspeeds from the future are wreaking havoc on Central City searching for August Heart (Karan Oberoi) who is trapped in the present but without any memory of who he is or why the Godspeeds want him. Barry (Grant Gustin) also discovers his wife’s grip on the timeline is in jeopardy as his fears nearly consume him about the uncertain future of his family. However, the episode is most memorable for it’s guest-stars. First, we get John Diggle (David Ramsey) showing up with A.R.G.U.S. tech to help fight the Godspeeds (and running from a destiny that was teased in Arrow‘s finale) and, helping to set the stage for next week’s 150th episode, we get the return of XS (Jessica Parker Kennedy) and the introduction of Impulse (Jordan Fisher).
