Batman: Killing Time #3

/ / Comics

While there’s much to like in Batman: Killing Time #3, I’m not overly fond of the way the story continually jumps around the timeline making it harder to get an overall feel of the story (especially for someone who hasn’t read the first two issues of the six-issue mini-series). What it does deliver, in somewhat random order, is an experienced fighter with the unfortunate name of the Help who bests a young Batman in combat after being sent to retrieve something stolen from the hospitalized Penguin.

The Blacklist – The Bear Mask

/ / Television Reviews
  • Title: The Blacklist – The Bear Mask
  • wiki: link

“The Bear Mask” gives us an acid trip fueled time loop as Aram‘s (Amir Arison) choice to move forward with some experimental hallucinogenic therapy traps him in a loop where the team is continuously under attack by unknown assailants (who turn out to be led by his darker unconscious). At least he seems to have gotten some inner peace from the stressful situation. Reddington‘s (James Spader) story take place outside the loop and confirms Mr. Kaplan wasn’t in the explosion leaving questions looming as to the identity of the adversary is working against him (could it eventually turn out to be Kaplan, or is that just a smokescreen to hide the truth of someone nearly as close who knows as much about Reddington’s operation as his former friend?).

The Rocketeer: The Great Race #2

/ / Comics

The second issue of The Rocketeer: The Great Race introduces us to both of Cliff‘s main rivals in the race (one of whom he’s not aware is also one of the Nazis the Rocketeer recently had a run-in with) before also giving us the first leg of the race in which Cliff’s flying gets him to second place but his impulsive nature may land him in deep trouble. And, of course, there’s plenty of the regular tension between our hero and Betty.

The Flash – Death Falls

/ / Television Reviews
  • Title: The Flash – Death Falls
  • wiki: link

“Death Falls” features a big battle between Team Flash and Deathstorm. Team Flash will come out on top, as an enhanced Frost (Danielle Panabaker) proves up to the task to fight off the evil shadow monster that preys on grief and has recently taken on the form of Ronnie Raymond (Robbie Amell). The episode is structure very much like a Halloween episode (odd for Spring, but whatever) with the evil Deathstorm torturing the various heroes to elicit grief in plans of making Frost’s doppelganger his bride (do evil cloud monsters need brides?).
