Arguably the best thing to come out of the Shrek franchise, the legendary hero Puss in Boots (Antonio Banderas) returns for a sequel to his 2011 solo film. Puss in Boots: The Last Wish is exactly what you’d expect. Opening with a big action sequence, the script then sets up the main plot of the movie with Puss in Boots being down the the ninth, and last, of his nine lives. After a bit of hiding, the character reemerges learning of a wish that could restore his lives and his courage.

More inspired by than adapted from the National Treasure films, the first episode of National Treasure: Edge of History introduces us to twenty-something puzzle solver Jess Valenzuela (Lisette Olivera) and her group of unimpressive friends. Although Jess has a familial tie to treasure, which we see in the opening scenes taking place two decades earlier, she’s completely unaware of them and lacks decades of yearning to see a quest completed. For her, the adventure begins when her boring day job leads her to cross paths with former FBI Agent Peter Sadusky (Harvey Keitel) who starts her on a quest involving an ancient treasure protected by the Freemasons.

Created for preschool viewers, with plenty of merchandise to sell based on its characters, Batwheels brings the Batmobile and several other vehicles to life in an odd Batman meets Cars mashup. The first three episodes of the series give us Batman, Robin, and Batgirl along with several Bat-villains the trio put in jail. However, with the heroes lured away, a break-in at the Batcave calls for unorthodox security procedures by the Bat-Computer which brings the Batmobile to life. Over the course of the episode more Bat-Family vehicles will be brought to life as will the vehicles of the villains we saw in the opening.

Stargirl – The Reckoning

Reading the writing on the wall, the season finale of Stargirl was filmed with two possible endings. One would tease next season’s arc and the other, in case the show was indeed cancelled, would wrap-up the series’ various storylines. With the announced cancellation of the series, it was the latter that aired which not only concluded the JSA’s battle with Icicle (Neil Jackson), Dr. Ito, and the Ultra-Huminate inside Sylvester (Joel McHale) body, but also offered a series of epilogue scenes to say farewell to fans and suggest what might have happened in upcoming seasons had the show been renewed.
