Checking interest tags and looking over your public posts and "current music", I figured it was possible you'd like something here. (I've played the Iron Man cover you post as part of an Avengers V.Xmen DJ set once, so it caught my eye, heh) Well met! Glad you stopped by to have a look! Hope you like some of the music!
Though this portion of my blog really isn't dedicated to comic-related matters (all that was mostly a relevant aside to get to the weekly cover feature) I'll say this: DCTV's strengths are tone and representation. They present the characters in ways that match what long-time fans will recognize and are not burdened with "grim" tone anywhere they shouldn't be. (For Gotham/Arrow it's more appropriate... though it might have been nice for them to make Arrow a little more "swashbuckling Emerald Archer." Oh well.) Their overarching weakness is "just because" explanations in their writing for actions and motivations that do not make sense in the context of the stories or the powers their characters have. They have some fan service going on, sometimes that works, sometimes it doesn't. Supergirl, of all of them, "feels" the most like the comics it comes from and that makes it pretty enjoyable to watch. They've also done a great job of including real world current event issues into the stories to say something positive and meaningful so I'd recommend you see it through. Where Wonder Woman is concerned... I can empathize with not seeing it theaters. Even with all the positive feedback on it, Justice League still looks unfortunately like garbage in the making so I expect this to be a short-lived lifting of my personal boycott. Most of my willingness to give it a chance there after the first two weekends is because my wife wants to go. I know when compromise. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
