The CW superhero shows announced a number of new developments in recent weeks, including:

Comic Television Discussion – Week beginning May 20th
Much less to watch this week, with even more finales. Lucifer is gone, but next Monday we will get an extra two episodes that they filmed for season four. Ariel Dubois turns up to give Supergirl a hard time. The Flash races into DeVoe’s Cranium. Supergrandpa hits the bottle, and Legion figures out what he wants to do any gets on with it. Arrow was listed as having more episodes on the source I used, but Wikipedia believes the season is over, and the previous episode did seem pretty final.

Comic Television Discussion – Week beginning May 6th
Another week as we get to the end of our seasons, with a few penultimate and anti-penultimate episodes. Don’t Count on these posts stopping, though, as we have shows until June. Lucifer attempts to get back to normal after Pierce and Cloe’s events last episode, Supergirl uses Jimmy against his girlfriend, The Flash keeps its title pun game strong, Supergrandpa has to fight the brainy voice, and Arrow’s villain goes for the friends and family plan.
I have no idea what’s happening on Legion because the descriptions are very vague. Watching the episode only has a fifty/fifty chance of it being any clearer. On SHIELD, we get get more time with a surprisingly accurate Graviton. In Riverdale, (no, the other Riverdale,) things don’t stay civil as the gangs go to war.

Comic Television Discussion – Week beginning April 30th
To start with, the universe expands again as DC has decided to start their own streaming service, and will be starting with Swamp Thing. The existing shows continue unabated and show no signs of Dropping Coverage of their defined corners. Lucifer’s ladies enjoy a bachelorette party, Supergirl does Outbreak, The Flash guest stars Cisco’s girlfriend, Supergrandpa continues the dystopia of Krypton, and Oliver starts to recognize how useless a quiver of one is.
The House of Ideas gives us a heartbreaking return to corporeality on Legion and the Agents goes back to aliens. Allegiances shift in Riverdale so the “Archie” relations become even less recognizable.

Comic Television Discussion – Week beginning April 23th
There’s a big name documentary about how conflicts continue forever because groups of people are constantly seeking to address wrongs that didn’t actually happen to them coming out in theater this week, and I have been distracted by that. However, their Dark Cousins are still on television. Our favorite devil takes in a ballet, our second favorite Girl of Steel takes on her boss’s dad’s mind, one of the speedsters invites a favorite guest star back to keep up the strongest pun/title game since Legends’ season finishes, Supergrandpa sings lead for a Guns ‘n Roses hit, and Arrow has to find some new teammates.
The Marvelous shows give us more trippy confusion on Legion (this time, from Syd) and the Agents face Die Hard in a Lighthouse. The teens who borrowed their names from Archie comics have a violent manhunt and rage against the police.

Comic Television Discussion – Week beginning April 15th
On the CW, we are Dropping Content as the seasons come to a close, so I have revamped these posts to include some more comic television! I am not going to say I got everything based on a comic, but I added the ones I watch. If there’s another comic show you like, please comment and I’ll include it. I’ll throw any streaming series up as they show up.
For our Debut Catalog, Lucifer thinks he is going on nocturnal missions, Supergirl returns bringing Laurie Metcalf with her. The Flash continues fighting against intelligence, Black Lightning ends his first season with a showdown of black vs. white, Supergranad is still trapped in a terrorist cell, and Arrow has expanding businesses.
From the House of Ideas, Legion is still crazy (and that description probably won’t change) and the Agents take a trip to Rome to stop Malficent’s daughter from breaking the world. In Riverdale, the “teens” get prepare to put on their bloody musical.

DC Television Week 20 Discussion
This week, the disasters, climaxes, and seasons reach their peak before they Don’t Continue for the summer. We see the Flash finally return as our Legends wrap up their season, Black Lightning gives us the penultimate episode for its inaugural season. On Legends, we see everything you’d predict from a season finale. Flash shows us how different Barry and Ralph are. Black Lightning sets up our Tobias fight. Krypton has Seg consider joining terrorists. Arrow shows us just how much Oliver is screwing up.

DC Television Week 19 Discussion
This week is a week off for half of the Arrowverse, but special guest Denethor Crashes the Legend’s episode as John Noble appears and pretends to be the voice of the character he voices. I think the Legends are turning “meta” into a weapon. Black Lightning reaches the painful point of his allegory. Supergrandpa begins his new job. Meanwhile, Arrow showcases dating woes.

DC Television Week 18 Discussion
I got a bit distracted this week with work, so please excuse any delayed conversation that I have caused. On Lucifer, Maze goes bad. Well, Maze goes back to being evil… er? The Legends find out Ava’s secret origin. Black Lightning works with the children more, Arrow is not working with the Avenger’s villain, but some new Deadly Contractors. On Krypton, Supergrandpa adjust to his new life as an orphan.

DC Television Week 17 Discussion
Like the universe we inhabit, the DC television universe expands beyond its Defined Constraints. Instead of just the CW, we are now branched out to Syfy and to CW Seed. While a decent chunk of our heroes enjoy their vacation, Lucifer takes a back seat to C̵l̵a̵r̵k̵ ̵K̵e̵n̵t̵ Pierce, Legends has the best pun of a show title yet, while Black Lightning enjoys some quality time with the family. Out in deep space, Krypton begins to end, and we get a heaping helping of John Constantine.
