SPOILERS/NSFW - DC on SCREEN #280 - The Flash 3x09 - The Present | Recap & Review - Iris finds out that Julian was a would-be Indiana Jones hunting for the Philosopher’s Stone. Julian admits to it but claims to have never found the stone. He does reveal to the team that Savitar was the first Speedster, prompting Barry to go to Earth 3 in search of Jay Garrick. They come back just in time to help them stop Savitar and Dr Alchemy from turning all the Flashpoint retreads back into metas. They capture Alchemy and discover that he’s actually Julian, which is a surprise to Julian, who has no idea he’s evil when he blacks out. To gain his trust Barry reveals his Flashiness. Then the team gets to work strapping Julian to a chair so they can talk to Alchemy, who says some seriously spooky shit about destiny and revenge. They decide it would be best to destroy the Stone, which is somehow a containment vessel for Savitar, but find it’s impossible. Plan B is to just hurl that thing deep into the Speed Force, which Barry and Jay manage, but Barry gets tossed 5 months into the future and sees Savitar impale Iris. Jay assures him that this is just a possible future and there’s no need to get too worked up about it. Meanwhile, the holidays are hard on Cisco, who has been dealing with visions of Dante. But Caitlin, a veteran of losing loved ones, talks him through some dark times. Also, Wally tells Joe that HR has been training him. Joe is super pissed until HR warns Joe that Wally will only get farther from him as long as he denies the kid his true potential. Finally, the whole gang, even Cecile and Julian, show up to just enjoy some egg nog and some good ol Holiday Cheer. With Cecile out of the room they finally give Kid Flash his new costume and Joe accepts that his destiny is that of a heroing Speedster. Barry moves pretty fast in a different way as he has signed a lease on his and Iris’ new apartment.

SPOILERS/NSFW - DC on SCREEN #277 - Legends of Tomorrow 2x07 - Invasion! | Recap & Review
The whole team shows up to fight some aliens. Except Supergirl, who Oliver tries to sideline to regain some normalcy. It’s okay though, because she shows up anyway when they fight a ton of aliens! The Legends travel back in time to kidnap and interrogate a Dominator. Mick, Nate, and Maya managed to get captured, along with the alien, who tells them he’s here to determine if they are a threat. Cisco and Felicity show up to save the crew. Cisco also insists they save the Dominator from painful government interrogation. It’s a nice gesture, but all it gets them is a chance to surrender Barry in exchange for the lives of every meta on the planet. Turns out the Dominators had a truce with Earth’s government to stay away but when Barry broke time the truce went with it. Barry is willing to comply to assuage his guilt over Flashpoint and to save all of his fellow metas but the team won’t let him. Stein and his newfound daughter come up with a nifty gadget that will disable the Dominators if someone can get it on their bodies. The rest of the heroes hold off the aliens while Flash and Supergirl slap on some incapacitating nanotech. Also, Firestorm turns their giant, meta-killing bomb into a giant water drop. Afterwards, the team gets some high praise from the new president, Cisco gives Supergirl a device that can transport her to and from Earth 38 when needed, and Barry and Oliver have a much-deserved drink where they discuss the fullness and strangeness of life.

SPOILERS/NSFW - DC on SCREEN #276 - Arrow 5x08 - Invasion! | Recap & Review
Oliver, Thea, Diggle, Ray, and Sara are just plain happy. Oliver is happy to marry Laurel. Quentin is happy to see his oldest daughter hitched to a reformed Oliver. Sara is happy to dote over her sister in the days before her wedding. Thea and Oliver are beside themselves with both parents alive, well, and extremely supportive. Ray is with Felicity and hasn’t a complaint in the world. And Diggle is happy to be the Green Arrow. Also, this is all a lie and they are trapped on a ship under Dominator mind control. After deciding that this utopia is a pack of lies, Oliver finds his fellow abductees and confronts them with the truth. They agree that they’re in a simulation, defeat all of their greatest enemies all at once, then head to Smoak Technologies to prison break both the simulation and a spaceship. After Thea figures out where the on button is on the escape pod, the team shuttles away and nearly gets Tie-Fightered to death before the Waverider swoops in and rescues them. Meanwhile, Team Arrow, Flash, and Supergirl have been hitting the streets after a Cyber Woman. Wild Dog isn’t loving the meta-team up but decides he can deal with it when they put a beat down on the Cyber Woman and save his hyde. Oliver and company are horrified when they realize that they were captured and mentally probed so someone would know more about the weaknesses of their super-powered colleagues.
Question: Is it just us, or is this episode just one big homage to Batman: The Animated Series' "Perchance to Dream"?

SPOILERS/NSFW - DC on SCREEN #275 - The Flash 3x08 - Invasion! | Recap & Review
The Dominators arrive and The Flash is pretty spooked. He runs over to Star City to recruit Oliver and company, then hurriedly engages the services of the Legends of Tomorrow. He and Cisco also pop over to Earth 38 to enlist Supergirl. Team assembled, he explains that aliens are both real and pretty vicious. The team commences training with their very own alien until Cisco finds Barry’s message from the future. Barry confesses that he created a new timeline and wreaked a whole lot of havoc on everyone’s lives, which causes some team unrest. The team has a lead on where to find the abducted president but opts to leave Barry behind. Oliver sides with Barry and stays behind as well. The team is quickly defeated by some alien mind-control mojo. They immediately begin to terrorize the city. Oliver and Barry try to control the situation but it’s a lot against a little until Wally goes rogue and shows up to incapacitate a few metas. Wally goes down pretty fast but it’s enough time for Oliver to distract everyone while Barry tricks Supergirl into destroying the object that is controlling their minds. In the aftermath of the battle all of the non-meta heroes are abducted. Wally wants to keep hero-ing but Iris, Joe, and Barry are dead against it. However, HR agrees to help the young speedster level up.

SPOILERS/NSFW - DC on SCREEN #274 - Supergirl 2x08 - Medusa | Recap & Review
Thanksgiving at Kara’s house gets off to a rocky start as James and Wynn want to confess their vigilante lifestyle but Alex has confessional plans of her own. Everyone’s plans are thwarted though by space/time rupturing above the dinner table. Mon-El has a hard time at the alien dive bar as he gets his ass kicked by Cyborg Superman and is sickened by a virus made to kill aliens wholesale. Kara discovers, to her great disappointment, that this biological weapon was designed by none other than her father. Eliza Danvers uncovers the workings of the aerosolized virus and points out an isotope needed for its dispersal. Supergirl and the gang show up just in time to stop Hank Henshaw from getting his robotic hands on it, but Maggie takes a hit, which gives her and Alex a chance to bond over some minor surgery. Kara confronts Lena about her mother and gets the cold shoulder. Lena then offers to help her mother and her dastardly, alien-erasing scheme. Her mother accepts Lena’s help, but later regrets it as Lena has reversed the effect of the isotope and rendered Mom’s giant weapon useless. Eliza uses the xenovirus to find a cure for both Mon-El and the nearly-White-Martianed J’onn. She also finds time to let Alex know that she’s okay with her being way into Maggie. Which is good timing all around because Maggie’s near death experience has shown her that she’d rather take her chances with Alex after all. Some faceless people are after Mon-El but- wait, Barry Allen and Cisco Ramon cross universes to ask Supergirl for help.

SPOILERS/NSFW - DC on SCREEN #273 - Lucifer 2x10 - Quid Pro Ho | Recap & Review
Perry Smith, the man who killed Chloe’s father, is officially on trial. Lucifer discovers this when he shows up to apologize for standing her up. However, he quickly realizes the self-centeredness of his actions and joins Team Decker in court. He also quickly realizes that his Mom is in charge of Perry’s defense. This is part of her new plan to destroy Chloe in Lucifer’s eyes, since Amenadiel has convinced her that just blowing her up would be counterproductive. It even seems that Mom will have a quick day in court after the head of the prosecution’s key witness arrives in a box on Dan’s desk. Lucifer testifies on behalf of said witness to link Perry to the killing but Mom turns everything around on him, making it seem plausible that Chloe herself is implicated in one of Perry’s crimes. Vowing to avenge his misstep, Lucifer sets out with Dan and Maze to find the witness’ killer. They track everyone down but only find more dead bodies, which are no good on a witness stand. Chloe is forced to take the witness stand and Mom tries to make her betray Lucifer’s trust by calling him a liar. She refuses, offering tearful recognition of how much she depends on him instead. This doesn’t actually help the case at all so the warden walks home a free man. But not for long, because Dan and Maze use the Russians to have him kidnapped and presumably executed. Lucifer finally makes good on his promise to feed Chloe, but Amenadiel meets Chloe’s mom and remembers that time he blessed a couple and they spawned a miracle child. Amenadiel recounts the encounter to his Mom, who promises that Chloe is their ticket home.
