Arrow season 7, episode 20, “Confessions”, saw Captain Dinah Drake forced to turn her keen detective’s eye upon her fellow vigilantes. This proved necessary after the rest of Team Arrow was found at a crime scene with two dead night watchmen and no security footage to back up their story of having thwarted a terrorist attack by the Ninth Circle. The episode borrowed heavily from Rashomon - the classic 1951 film by Akira Kurosawa, which examined the murder of a samurai from multiple viewpoints....

So far this season, Arrow has wisely concerned itself with reestablishing some ground rules as far as what the series should and should not task its hero and his teammates with in their pursuit of justice. Aside from taking a week off to shoot some aliens and remember all the characters that have come and gone over the past four seasons (and some change) that refocusing has resulted in an improved season overall, one that has again introduced the idea that Oliver Queen’s mission is to save Star City....
With The CW series nearing its conclusion, Arrow is finally giving fans a proper Black Canary, as the latest version of the DC Comics superhero is the most comic book accurate interpretation of Black Canary yet. It would seem that the Laurel Lance (Katie Cassidy) of Earth-2, who took up the mantle of “Black Canary” toward the end of season 7, will have evolved into a more familiar version of the comic book character when the show returns for its eighth and final season in October....

Jones’ independent publishing company, Stranger Comics, along with the help of Kickstarter campaigns that helped bring the series to fruition.

Then again, he was defeated even at the height of his power, all the strategic build-up and the atrocities he committed finally brought to justice....

In the wake of Game of Thrones showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss developing their own series of Star Wars films, many bemoaned the fact the movies are predominantly spearheaded by white men....
Typically, studios and filmmakers like to strike when the iron is hot when it comes to developing franchises. James Cameron, however, operates quite differently. His sci-fi/fantasy blockbuster Avatar became the biggest film of all-time back in 2009, earning a whopping $2.7 billion at the worldwide box office and receiving much critical acclaim. The Oscar-winner plans to direct four followups in an ambitious undertaking, but they’re taking a while to come into fruition as Cameron (ever the perfectionist) dedicates time to fine-tuning the scripts with his writing team....
The Arrowverse is finally getting a Superman series in the form of Superman & Lois, but did the CW really make the best choice for a show about the Man of Steel? The new Superman show is a missed opportunity that could have explored the Kingdom Come version of Clark Kent, as played by Legends of Tomorrow’s Brandon Routh. Apparently Green Arrow and the Canaries isn’t the only new show coming to the Arrowverse....
Artifact is Valve’s answer to the growing demand for online card games. What began in earnest with Magic: The Gathering’s first online effort over a decade ago became more than a niche once Blizzard released Hearthstone, and now developers everywhere seem to be producing games that have card slinging at the core of their design. Not every game begins with the pedigree that Artifact has, though. Artifact is based on DOTA 2 and has all of the lore and aesthetic that comes with that incredibly popular property, right down to some of the finest voice acting and artwork players will find in any game....
