While I admit for a 9 year-old boy the tongue-in-cheek space adventure about a motley crew of smugglers stealing the universe’s most valuable resource (water) was a hell of a lot of fun, it’s equally hard to ignore as an adult that The Ice Pirates is a mess of a movie. The PG-rated movie offered funny castration jokes, space herpes, odd robots and aliens, and a time-displaced climactic battle. It also offered bad writing, cheesy special effects, and nearly as many groans as laughs.

In a last-ditch effort to restore Clary‘s (Katherine McNamara) memories the Shadowhunters seek out Magnus Bane (Harry Shum Jr.), the High Warlock of Brooklyn and the man responsible for stealing Clary’s memories years ago. Initially reluctant to help, Magnus comes around after the Shadowhunters save him from Valentine‘s (Alan Van Sprang) men.

Sorry Clary, no answers for your this week.

Melissa Benoist does double duty her as both Supergirl and Maxwell Lord‘s (Peter Facinelli) pet science experiment in an evil doppelganger of National City’s savior Cat Grant (Calista Flockhart) decides to name Bizarro. If there were any doubt, the episode firmly cements Max as the show’s Lex Luthor and removes any question as to the man’s true nature or motives. Of course the show does have a reset button in its back-pocket should J’onn J’onzz (David Harewood) decide to use his powers to limit Lord as a threat both to Supergirl and the DEO.

While fun, Batgirl #47 is a jumbled mess. Offering us an team-up between Batgirl, Spoiler, and Bluebird the latest issue sends Babs and Stephanie into the GCPD disguised as cops in an undercover mission so ridiculous it would have made Charlie’s Angels blush. The girls’ night out vibe is cute, but Barbara’s plan (breaking into a police station where nearly everyone knows her by sight) is half-assed at best.
It also doesn’t help that the art from the issue is a scatterbrained as the story with two different artists sharing duties. The very talkie issue also takes far to long to get to the break-in as we’re forced to wait through Babs dealing with the bizarre New 52 version of her father (seriously DC, WTF did you do to Commissioner Gordon?) and roommate issues.
