In defense of Titans
First, I want to apologize for indulging my geekier side lately. I’ll hopefully be getting back to my crime side shortly, but without superheroes, I would have no crime side. Secondly, I wanted to write this post last week after the first episode came out but the second episode hasn’t really changed my opinion on…

Trench reviews Season 1 of The Flash
Yes, I definitely recommend watching this series. Right now it’s tie for my show of the year with Daredevil. All my fears of Barry Allen being played by someone so young were dissuaded throughout the season as Grant Gustin did a great job of portraying a young Barry Allen haunted by the murder of his…

Trench reviews Season 3 of Arrow
***SPOILERS*** This was probably my least favorite season of Arrow so far. The things that didn’t have going for it was that the main villain was a Batman villain that to my recollection Green Arrow never had any contact with. Yeah I know, Comic Book Guy complaint but it’s a pretty major Batman villain. I…

Trench reviews Season 2 of Agents of SHIELD
These are more recommendations rather than reviews but you get the idea. ***MINOR SPOILERS*** Anyway, I liked Season 2 better than the first season.

It started off great with a great murder mystery of who murdered the Waynes along with Penguin’s chicanery and brutality and Fish Mooney’s plot to overthrow Don Falcone in Gotham’s mob scene. Then halfway through the season the tight writing and great storytelling kind of went off…

Trench reviews Arrow
***SPOILERS LAY YONDER*** Let me just come right out and say it. This show was awesome. It has the potential to be the best action series since Highlander. Then again I said that after the first episode of Smallville and that show turned out to be the most boring superhero series ever but I digress.…

Trench reviews Tron: Uprising
First I have to thank Dr. Jones for turning me on to this cartoon. I’ll be honest. I’m not the biggest Tron fan. I only saw the original movie a couple of years ago and I have no desire to see the sequel. However when I saw the preview for Tron: Uprising on the aforementioned…

Trench Reviews Young Justice: Invasion
***SPOILERS*** Since its premiere Young Justice has been my favorite cartoon. It’s better written than most DC comic books out today. Last week they had a tremendous season finale. Most issues were resolved while still leaving some open. So imagine my surprise when the season 2 premiere jumped forward into the future by 5 years.…
