DC TV Roundup: A New Black Canary Debuts, Jerome Steals The Show

While Marvel and DC battle to see who wins at the box office, it’s virtually inarguable that it's the latter who dominates the small screen. Now having taken over four nights of the week when it comes to prime time programming, serialized superhero storytelling has swiftly become a cornerstone in the lives of many a geek these days.

Being someone who’s historically critical of DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, even I can’t deny how awesome this week’s episode was. Titled “Legion of Doom,” it obviously placed much of the focus on Eobard Thawne, Malcolm Merlyn and Damien Darhk.

In addition to finally showing how the band got together, the caper involving this trio made the show exponentially more interesting and yielded one of the series’ finest episodes to date. In fact, I would go as far to say the bad guys didn’t get enough screen time. Seriously, I wanted more.

What perhaps came as the biggest surprise was gaining more insight into the Reverse Flash’s motivation, which led to learning how Black Flash is relentlessly pursuing him. Yes, we knew the former Zoom was showing up at some point, but his unannounced appearance likely excited many viewers. I can’t help but think he’ll play a crucial role in the season finale.
