Batwoman
The action is fun, the fight scenes exciting and Javicia’s Ryan Wilder kicks some ass. It is also a plus for me, seeing LGBT characters being highlighted. It is important that we have heroes that aren’t afraid or hiding in the closet. Who, unashamedly, dare to be who they truly are.
DetailsSuperman and Lois
But I wasn’t sure what to expect from a show that focuses more on the home life of Clark and Lois as parents to twin teenage boys. All I can say, is I really enjoyed it.
DetailsResident Alien
From time to time, a new series comes along that has the right combination of an amazing cast, great writers and an intriguing plot. Resident Alien is one of those shows.
DetailsThe Equalizer
Queen Latifah adds a tender humanness to what could have been a stereotypical character, Liza Lapira as the sure shot sniper, Melody, is sort of cute and bubbly for someone that is so deadly, and her genius hacker husband, Harry, played by Adam Goldberg adds a bit of sarcastic humor.
DetailsAll the movies are fun, with great fight scenes and a dark and brooding lead actor, some great supporting cast members and wonderful visuals.
DetailsNancy Drew
Nancy is a true hero and icon having been an influence for many powerful women. Supreme Court Justices Sandra Day O’Connor and Sonia Sotomayor, former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and former First Lady Laura Bush have all credited Nancy Drew as an inspiration.
DetailsAs much as I love this current era of superhero storytelling, we would be remiss if we didn’t give at least a nod to the very foundation on which this period is built.
DetailsBatwoman
Season two puts Javicia Leslie into the bat-suit as Ryan Wilder, a troubled, homeless, wrongfully accused ex-con, who suffered her own family tragedy causing her to want vengeance.
DetailsA symbol for the fight against the oligarchy of a class system which actively works to keep the poor in their proper place, and the rich in power.
DetailsThe Trickster
Jared, by any means, is not the sparkling pure white type of hero. He is a partying teen who deals drugs. As we get to know him though, we see that he is a good kid, stuck in a crazy family and he is only doing what knows and what he needs to survive.
DetailsBut, there is a certain simplicity to the shows I grew up on. These shows had a magic all their own, even though they were corny, with terrible special effects and laughable plotlines, they still helped mold me into the person I am today (I am definitely Corny).
DetailsThe character is one of the first masked Vigilantes with dual identities and is the precursor to our modern day superheroes.
