If you are a big fan
of DC Comics then you are probably aware that DC has a number of TV shows broadcasting
that are based on its characters.
Despite what network any
particular show broadcasts on there is an underlying continuity and crossover with
the other shows. While some shows are more
blatant about their linkage to each other, such as Arrow, The Flash, DC Legends
of Tomorrow and Supergirl there are hints of continuity with the other shows.
Gotham, I-Zombie and Lucifer
(if you pay close attention) offer subtle ‘Easter Eggs’ pertaining to the
entire DC Universe.
The Flash TV series
was born out of the Arrow TV series when an unexplained ‘Metahuman’ explosion transformed
a number of individuals into super-powered beings, Barry Allen (The Flash)
being one of them.
The Blu-ray/DVD HD
collection from Warner Bros. explores the
burgeoning powers of The Flash and its effect on other people and Barry Allen’s
home city.
During the First
Season Barry hones his abilities, encounters other ‘Metahumans’ who use their
powers for bad, teams up other ‘good’ Metahumans and that alternate universe Earth
exist.
Along the way he manages
to gather other individuals to create a team, starts a blossoming romance and encounters
a deadly and dangerous evil doppelganger of himself.
The Season Two Blu-ray/DVD
collection delves into the ‘Speed Force’, the origin of the Yellow Flash, Zoom,
other alternate Earth heroes and villains and a threat that could destroy our Earth
and other alternate versions.
Both Blu-ray/DVD HD Collections
examine the many villains (the original Trickster: Mark Hamill returns) and heroes,
alternate dimensions and timelines and much more about the Scarlet Speedsters past,
present and possible future.
Some new and old familiar
faces crop up. Extras include featurettes
about visual effects, gag reels, a crossover event, cast and crew interviews and
much more.
DC’s Legends of Tomorrow
follows the exploits of time traveler Rip Hunter as he gathers the forces of some
of Earth’s mightiest heroes and villains to stop a plot by Vandal Savage, an immortal
madman, to rule the Earth.
Along the way the group
travels to different eras, manages to congeal as a team and thwart Savage at every
turn.
Rip Hunter, Hawkman, Hawkgirl,
Firestorm, The Atom, White Canary, Captain Cold and Heat Wave put aside their differences
and form a team to save Earth.
Look for lots of action,
adventure, betrayals and suspense ramped up in every episode.
Blu-ray/Digital HD extras
include Featruettes and a gag reel.
The ‘Gotham’ Blu-ray/Digital
HD Second Season Set ‘brings on the bad guys’ as it pits Detective James Gordon
and the Gotham City Police Department against a menagerie of villains.
Be there as The Joker,
Hugo Strange, The Penguin and other classic Batman villains get their starts. A new savior raises his head in Gotham but he
and his sister have their own nefarious plans involving Arkham Asylum.
Light and dark merge as
Gordon discovers that sometimes you have to ‘dance with the devil’ in order to get
things done.
Bruce Wayne slowly begins
his training to become Batman, discovers some disturbing secrets about his heritage
and makes a life-changing sacrifice to save his family and friends.
This is Gotham City as
it was meant to be seen: dark, dank and dangerous.
The Second Season explores
the genesis of Batman, his villains and supporting cast along with the city he is
sworn to protect: Gotham.
Extras include an examination
of Bruce Wayne’s butler and protector: Alfred Pennyworth, Gotham Noir Light and
