The Punisher is Coming to Daredevil!
We all thought it was going to be Bullseye (and maybe it still is), but Marvel threw us a curveball today by announcing the casting of Jon Bernthal as Frank Castle, the Punisher! He’s going to clash with Daredevil in season 2 next year!
Just film The Slavers and leave it at that
This is pretty exciting news! We were all hoping that Punisher would show up on Netflix. He’s perfect for his own gritty, hard-hitting series! So maybe his appearance next year could be a backdoor pilot for his own show! That would be great beyond imagining!
As long as they just film Garth Ennis’ Punisher MAX…
As for Bernthal, I’m sure he’ll be fine in the role. I really only know him from the first season of The Walking Dead, where he played Shane. But that was like four or five years ago, so I don’t remember anything about him. But I’m sure he’ll do fine!

6 Thoughts on the First Season of The Flash
With the first season of The Flash TV show complete, I think we can all declare that live action superheroes, complete with comic book craziness, are the new amazing. Arrow started small and kept things simple, but The Flash threw caution to the wind and burst out of the gate with everything from the Speed Force to Gorilla Grodd to a real, comics accurate costume!
That’s some mighty fine running!
I really enjoyed the first season of The Flash, and I’m very excited to see where they go next year. It wasn’t my favorite comic book show this year, but The Flash is nonetheless an accomplishment. It proves to audiences and executives that these sorts of superheroics can be amazing. The Flash wasn’t dark, grim or gritty like the DC movies, it embraced the friendlier, more colorful aspects of the character, and we all benefited.
So like I’ve done for other comic shows, I wanted to share my thoughts with you all on the first season of The Flash. I’ve got more than a few nitpicks. Join me after the jump! And beware of SPOILERS!
Dare & Devil
Just a quick and clean bit of fun for our Mondays, everybody!
Now I feel like rewatching Daredevil, but I should finish House of Cards first. This Netflix account is solid beans! Good work David Johns on the video-editing.

6 Thoughts on the Third Season of Arrow
The third season of Arrow came to a dramatic conclusion last week, with Oliver Queen making some pretty major decisions about his life. Season 3 has been a rocky one, but I enjoyed the heck out of it. Arrow is still one of my favorite shows on television and you better believe I can’t wait to watch DC’s TV universe get bigger and better.
So much smoldering sexiness!
I’m no good at reviewing TV shows, especially episode-to-episode. So when a season of one of my favorite superhero TV shows is over, I like to do a roundup like this. You can check out my lists for the first and second seasons of Arrow. As for the third season, like I said, I enjoyed it, but it wasn’t as good as the previous season. Could it be because the creative team was split up in order to make The Flash? Who knows!
Join me after the jump to see my thoughts on the third season of Arrow. And feel free to share your own review in the comments below.
Legends of Tomorrow: And Just Like That, Nothing is Ever the Same Again
One day after the Supergirl trailer hits, we’ve got our first full look at Legends of Tomorrow, the oddly not-named Justice League show spinning out of Arrow and The Flash. This is a real trailer, more than three minutes long, showing everybody in action against the forces of Vandal Savage.
I don’t think television is ever going to be the same again.
I mean, come on! This is a full-on superhero team TV show, featuring time travel, the Atom, resurrections, big fights, Firestorm; this is insane, right? This can’t really be happening? This can’t really be a real TV show that we all get to watch and enjoy?
Granted, it looks cheesy as hell, but they’re making cheesy work on The Flash. I don’t see any reason why this can’t be as amazing as we all want it to be. I even have some ideas!
Though I still want to know how they justify not having the Flash or Green Arrow on the team.
