Fooled my cheating STBXW into thinking I was cheating, then Thermo-Nuclear Shinobi Ghosted AND served her Christmas day
I hope you've got some time and a snack, because this one is going to be super long, as the events that follow span from late 2019 to last week. As per the rules, all names are altered herein. Ok, so here's the backstory. My STBXW was my high school sweetheart. We started dating in 1992 when we were both 17 (we're both 45 now) and have been together ever since. She's the only woman I've ever been with my entire life. We married 5 years later at 22, fresh out of college. A year later, we had our 1st of two children, both boys. (22 and 17) 23 years I gave to her. Built her a house. Worked my ass off to give her the life she wanted. Sure, we had rough patches, but what marriage doesn't? Even in the worst of times, we found a way to pull through and come out the other side better. Which made the discovery of her affair that much more jarring. Flashback to March 2020, when I 1st got the feeling something was "off". For a good 2 months prior, we were in a funk. I was on the mend from reconstructive knee surgery (blew out my ACL fall 2019) but still lacking in movement. At the time I only had about 55% range of motion on my knee. This took a toll on quite a lot in the house. I was out on worker's comp, as I had been injured on the job, and I was unable to do my usual household duties, so a lot got backed up. My sons would do what they could, but tasks only I was capable of doing had to be put on the back burner, or my wife had to do, which she wasn't pleased with. Things also crawled to a stand still in the bedroom between us. It had already slowed down prior to my injury, but in the state I was in at the time it completely stopped. During these months, she (we'll call her Sue) was spending more time "hanging with co-workers" after work. Between November 2019 to March 2020 it was a regular occurrence for her. Naturally, I thought nothing of it. I've never in the 23 years I'd been with her had any reason to worry or not trust her. She has her friends, I have mine, and we have mutual. I'd go hang out with my friends all the time and there was no issue. It was all above board. It was around January of this year that I noticed something odd. Sue started getting noticeably distant with me. Sure, we were in a funk, but she'd never deny me affection to that point. The usual hugs and kisses she'd give me came to a halt. Her phone was attached to her hand long before my suspicion grew, but she'd always share and show me things she'd discovered on the web. DIY ideas and recipes on Pintrest, memes, all kinds of stuff. But she was now being guarded about her phone. Even her interactions with me became more snippy, as if she couldn't be bothered. So we're now in March. Covid has arrived and New York City is locked down. Our chosen careers fall under the "essential" designation, so neither of us have to work from home. I'd just been recently cleared to return to work after 5 months on the shelf, and I was eager to get back after it, as 5 months on my ass rehabing my knee and not being able to do physical stuff drove me nuts. (For context, I enjoy physical activities. I'm an avid martial artist and I'm typically in the gym 4 days a week, on top of all of the home projects I did.) Within a week or 2 of the lockdown, my STBXW alerts me that she's going to have to start putting in extra hours. Again, I think nothing of this because of her field. Of course, I was under the assumption it'd be every other day, but no. It was every day. And not just an hour or 2. She'd come home 3 or more hours later, and go straight to the shower, spend a little time with me, a little time with our 17 y/o (22 year old lives with his GF crosstown) and then go to bed. As I'm able to support myself on my knee better, we started getting intimate again, but as you'd probably guess she wasn't mentally or emotionally present for it, which I noticed quickly. So by early April, the picture started getting clearer to me. All of the signs were pointing to the idea that she was having an affair. That's when I decided I needed to find answers. So I scoured the internet on things I should be looking for. Signs of infidelity in one's partner, and sure enough she was pretty much ticking all of the boxes on such behavior. So then my search inquiry advanced to how to I find proof. I started with her social media. Looking at her FB entries from months prior, it's pretty much the usual. Pics of us and our sons, pics with her and her friends, and a more then a few pics of her nights out with co-workers. In these pics, it's a mixed bag of her closets friends from work, and a couple folk I've never met from her work. But I see one recurring thing in a number of these pics, one guy. In every picture he's in, he's rather uncomfortably close to her. His arm is around her shoulder, or his hand on her lower back. WAY to close for a guy I've never personally met. Needless to say that put a sour taste in my mouth. But that wasn't the worst of it. No, no, no. The worst was the fact that apparently, this dude is a friend of hers on FB and followers her on IG. So I go to look up his FB account and wouldn't you know it, I'm blocked. Why the hell am I blocked from seeing this guy's FB account, but he's friends with her on FB. Yep. Now I'm in Batman detective mode. At that point, I wasn't even trying to deny it. I knew she was cheating on me with this guy. My mission was to find out for how long. And over the course of April and May, that's what I did. You know I never had any clue the depth of info you could secure from phone, text and email records up until then. We have a family plan cellphone package, and I was able to pull up quite a bit of data. My STBXW's data history was telling. The 2 most frequent numbers she had interacted with from October 2019 to April 2020 was my own, and a number I'd never seen before. Take a wild guess who's number it was? A quick check on google and I confirmed it was the dude from the photos who blocked me on FB. (We'll call him POS, cuz that's what he is.) Again, the picture becomes even clearer at this point. But a lot of their messages and texts were disjointed, which meant she was deleting a lot of them. I knew she was cheating on me with this guy, but nothing in the data could serve as a smoking gun. I needed more evidence. It's at this point that I tell my best friend Oz what I had found. He asked me did I confront her with what I had, and I said no because I felt like it wasn't enough. That's when he told me about an app that I could download to apparently spy on her communications in real time. I won't say the name as I don't know the rules on that here. I got it installed, sync up my data plan, and waited. Within days of doing so, I finally saw it. A text string between the 2 of them talking about how much fun they'd had the previous night, and making plans to do it again that weekend. Boom. Gut punch. To say I was completely devastating was an understatement. I guess that moment counts as my "D-Day", and for the next 2 days after I was just broken. I actively distanced myself from her those 2 days immediately after d-day, which she was noticeably shaking by. She'd try to console me and ask me what was wrong, but I'd brush it off and leave her presence. I couldn't even look at her. This woman, who I gave 23 years of my life to. Who I have given everything I could and more to as a husband, and she stepped outside of our marriage for a guy just 5 years older then our eldest son. By the 3rd day, I wasn't even sad anymore, I was pissed. I contacted Oz to let him know my suspicion was confirmed, and he asked me had I confronted her yet. My answer was no, and I told him I wanted payback. I didn't want to just divorce her, I wanted to destroy her. I wanted to leave her life in shambles and fucking ruin her. It was going to take time to do so, and I devised a plan. In my readings and research on infidelity, I had saw a quote that resonated with me that went "the enemy of infidelity is unpredictability". Or something to that ilk. That was going to be the basis of my plan. I was going to make her life hell on wheels, while also secretly planning my exit strategy. So we're now in early June, and I've still got the app installed. Pretty much every night, I'm gathering as much data as I can seeing their back and forth messages. They're talking like it's a full blown relationship they're in. Sexting, lovey dovey romantic stuff, nudes, the whole fucking bag. At that point I had stopped looking at any of it, I was just collecting info and cataloging on my private FPS server. Meanwhile, I start doing things "out of the ordinary". I start going out at odd times. I start coming home even later then she does. In her presence, I'm on my phone a lot more then usual and when she asks "what are you up to?" I just simply say "just stuff" and put my phone away. I'd also changed my log in info on everything, so she couldn't access any of my stuff. Mind you, for our entire marriage, we'd never hid anything from each other. But right around I'm assuming the start of her affair, she'd changed her password on FB, as well as on her phone stating "she had to because of the security breaches in recent months." Yea, really nice cover for hiding your affair from your husband. Anyway, I'd clued Oz in on my plan, as well as telling my older (and only) sister and two more of my closest friends what was going on. These are people I trust with my life, and I swore them to secrecy. (For context, Oz and I have been friends since we were kids. The other of our friends Joey and Nina we've known since High School. Make note of Nina, she comes into play down the road.) July comes, and my STBXW is in full paranoia mode. She's texting and calling me a lot more frequently now, asking me if I'm going to be home when she's gets home, when am I coming home while she is and I'm not, asking me what am I up to, the works. I can see the seed planted in her head the month prior is starting to sprout, especially in her communication with POS. She's confiding in him her doubt and confusion. Telling him that I'M getting cold and distant. The fucking nerve of this woman!!! In the interim of these interactions with POS, she suggests that maybe they should stop meeting up at our house because she has no idea if I'd just show up, confirming that yes, she's had this fuckwad in my home. Thanks, Sue! POS asks her in that specific communication was she worried about me potentially cheating on her, which actually pissed her off. I can't even begin to describe the level of joy and how many laughs I got out of reading that exchange. My cheating wife arguing with her affair partner over if she's mad her husband could be cheating on her. Oh the fucking irony. Now bare in mind, I'm not hooking up with anyone. When I leave, I'm usually at Oz or Joey's throwing back some booze, watching fights and spending time with my bros, or at my big sis' house hanging with her and my BIL, who's like an older brother to me. My sis is 52 and her hubby is 58. She had told him about my STBXW's infidelity, but not of my plan. Couldn't risk it as he's a bit of a blabber mouth. We'll fast forward now to October. That's when things seriously pick up. I've been in my "faux affair" for 3 months now, and Sue is hyper aware of the fact that I'm actively pulling away from her. It's been as long as the day I enacted my plan until the day she "confronted" me, October 20th, 2020 that I'd even touched her. No hugs. No kisses. No initiation of intimacy. Nothing. Not like she needed it, she was still fucking POS, just at his place or at motels. So that afternoon, she calls me at work, which wasn't rare before all this began, but certainly hadn't happened in a while and asks me to come straight home after work saying she had "something important to tell me." I'm not gonna lie to you all, I half believed she was going to come clean about her infidelity, but she of course didn't. Instead, I get home to her asking me was I unhappy with her. The. Fucking. Nerve. She sights the fact that I've been spending way to much time away from home, I don't show her affection anymore and our sex life has completely died. She tells me she's worried I'm pushing her away because I was resentful of how she treated me the months I was rehabbing my knee. And then came the punchline. She fucking asked if I was cheating on her. Folks, I fell out on the floor laughing hysterically. And when I say hysterically I mean Joker laughing gas hysterical. On the surface it looked like (to her assuming) it was me laughing off the notion of being unfaithful, but it was of course actually me laughing at the sheer irony of what was happening in front of my eyes. I'm tearing up, pounding on the floor in complete hysterics for a good 2 minutes before I compose myself enough to answer. I sit up and look her in the eyes for the 1st time in months shaking my head, but I don't give her and answer. I stand up, brush myself off, kiss the top of her head and go about settling in for the night. Later that night, as I'm in my office I decide you know what? Given the brevity of what happened, I wanted to see what she was telling him. So I fire up the app and sure enough they're actually texting in real time. She tells POS "I know he's cheating on me. I asked him tonight and he literally laughed in my face. He fell on the floor and laughed for like 5 minutes. (It wasn't 5 minutes obviously.) He doesn't even care how I feel anymore. I don't know how or why, but he's gone. I know I've lost him. This is karma, I know it." The smile I had on my face reading that must've resemble the Cheshire Cat. She was breaking. POS attempted to console her, saying that if I cared enough for her, she wouldn't have had come to him to give her what I wasn't giving her, but the tone of her responses told me she was having doubt now. She had the nerve to step out of our marriage because I was unable to fulfill my role as a husband due to legitimate injury, and kept the affair going for at that point nearly an entire year, but the idea of her losing me to another woman was enough to make her waver? What a fucking weakling. Now, during all of this I was also exacting the 2nd part of my plan for payback, getting all of my affairs in order financially. In September, I had met with a family attorney to get the ball rolling on divorce paper, with the mountain of evidence I'd piled up to that point. New York is an "at fault" state as far as Divorce, and the overwhelming amount of proof I'd gathered displaying Sue's infidelity pretty much solidified I could nail her to the fucking wall in a divorce case. My lawyer instructed me to get all of my financials in order in preparation for whatever division of assets might come as result. I went one better then that, secretly pulling all of my money out of our joint account and putting it in my personal account. I also started shopping around for an apartment as part of "phase 2". We're now in November, and I've not changed my behavior. In fact, I've ramped it up. This is where my friend Nina comes into play. For context, Nina and Sue have never been what you call "close". I met Nina freshman year of high school 2 years before I met Sue. Even way back then, Sue has seen Nina as a "threat", as she's my closest female friend. There's always been an implied "I don't trust her" from Sue regarding Nina. She's never addressed it directly, but it's obvious to anyone who pays attention. Conversely, Nina's never been a big fan of Sue. Early in me and Sue's relationship, Nina called to attention to me how Sue was pretty much imposing herself into our little "square" of friends, whereas I didn't do the same with Sue's set of friends. That irked Nina because she knew why Sue was doing it, her. Among Sue's circle even now, there are no male friends...aside from POS. Whereas Nina is the only girl in my "square". Nina had been "stuck" overseas due to the virus, and finally returned to NYC November 3rd. Oz, Joey and I decided we were gonna celebrate her return with a night at Joey's house for dinner and drinks. (There was only 5 of us, Oz, Joey, Joey's wife...who is also Nina's sister, Nina and myself. Sticking to CDC guidelines. We take the rona VERY seriously.) Nina, being the evil mastermind she is, comes up with an evil idea to trigger Sue. She suggested we take some photos in the same vein of the photos I discovered of Sue and POS months prior...and post them to my FB. And that's just what we did. It wasn't until the 5th that Sue got wind of it, as I'm guessing a few friends noticed my updates and saw how "uncomfortably" close I was with Nina. This really fucked her mind up, because she still believed I was cheating, and I can almost guarantee she "wanted" to accuse Nina, but she knew that Nina had been stuck in Europe for the majority of the year. Still didn't stop her from attempting to dress me down that night for being so as she said "handsy" in the pics. I saw this as a golden opportunity to deliver the the lead jab for my knockout blow. I say "So what about the pics with you and POS from last year? He was pretty handsy in them. But did you see me get bent out of shape over it?" Dear in headlights. It was the 1st time I even mentioned the dude's name throughout all of this. The hamster wheel in her head started reeling in real time as she tried to to explain away those pics. To that point she hadn't even known I saw them, that's little I use FB. When I actually do post something it's like an event to people, which is why the pics with Nina specifically got so much traction among our circles. And explain away she did. "He's that way with everyone." "He's just a really friendly guy." "I can see how it looks, but there's nothing their." "I'm sorry if those pics hurt you. I'll delete them." No, no...the pics aren't what hurt me. The year you've been fucking the dude whilst lying to me that you're working extra hours and hanging with friends is what hurt me. But vengeance, as Lt. Comm. Warf from Star Trek: TNG so famously said "is a dish best served cold." From that night, Sue was being extra specially clingy and attentive to me. Like, annoyingly so. She's try to initiate affection and intimacy with me and I'd stonewall her at every chance. All the while, I'm still archiving everything she's saying to POS. Mind you by this point I'd long since gone numb. Any desire I might have had to save my marriage was dead. I'd checked out the day I enacted the 1st phase of my plan. She's confiding in him that I've gotten worse. That she doesn't know what to do, and she feels like I absolutely hate her. (I do.) Then comes the bombshell. She says she can't see him anymore. The guilt is to much for her, and she feels like karma is suffocating her. She can't risk losing me. She says that she loves POS deeply, but she "still in love" with me, and she has to save her marriage before she loses me. No, my dear...you're about 8 months to late for that. POS loses his shit, saying such lovely things as "He doesn't love you the way I love you." and "You're making a mistake, you can't just throw me away like this." That text chain would be the last they'd have until about 3 weeks ago. Throughout the remainder of November into December, Sue is tuck in limbo. She's trying to gauge where my headspace is and is still unable to tell if I'm actually being unfaithful. Meanwhile, POS is steadily blowing her phone up daily, but she's not responding to him. I'd see her check her phone often, the quickly put it away. Meanwhile, phase 2 of the plan was now officially complete. The divorce papers were done. I'd found me a studio apartment in Co-Op City (New Yorkers will know the area) and signed a 2 year lease on it. All of my money was in my personal account. I was ready to throw my haymaker. So we're now at Thanksgiving. My oldest and his GF were hosting a small gathering of our immediate families. So them (Oldest and his GF), Oldest's GF's parents (she's an only child) myself, Sue and our youngest. We have a great night. My oldest's GF is studying to be a chef, and she did all the cooking herself. The girl can fuckin' cook lemme tell ya'. As I had to keep up appearances of nothing being wrong between Sue and I, I initiated affection with her several times that evening. Kisses on the cheek. Cute lil' hugs. Wrapping my arms around her shoulders from behind. The gestures didn't go unnoticed by her, as she reveled in it. Bare in mind, this was the 1st time I touched this woman since I kissed the top of her head the night she "confronted" me in October...so just about 2 months. Not gonna lie, I felt repulsed doing it. But I had to. I couldn't risk the plan, and me being distant to her in the face of my boys, my oldest's GF and her parents would set off alarms. So my youngest decides he wants to stay over with his big bro for the night, so Sue and I head home. On the drive home, she thanks me for being so good to her, and says "I don't know what you're going through, baby. But I'm here for you." I had to hold off busting out in maniacal laughter again, and responded saying. "I know. I just need time." So for the 1st time realistically since Springtime, we had sex that night. I figured fuck it, with what I'm about to do, may as well get some action before I delete her from my existence. I won't go into detail, but it wasn't "love making". When I was finished she was a lump of flesh laying their trying to figure out the direction of the truck that ran her over. No cuddling or anything after. I just got up, showered and and went to go sleep in my office. To her confusion though, I used a condom. 1st time 2 damn decades I did. She was definitely perplexed by it, but she didn't ask questions. (Sure as hell wasn't going raw in her knowing that she'd been doing so with POS for months at that point.) I wake up the next day and check my handy dandy spy app, and for the 1st time in weeks, she responded to POS. Dude went full novella. He professed his love for her. Said she was wasting her time trying to rekindle a flame in me that died. That she'd been "in a prison" with me for 23 years and deserved to experience the love and affection of a man who would cherish her. Mind you, this dude is 27 fuckin' years old. Five years older then our oldest son. And he's THAT sprung on a 45 y/o married mother of 2? What a grade-A, high quality SIMP. She chose to blow up our marriage and destroy the home we'd built for this dude? Pretty boy with a "soft side"? HAAAA!!! She responded saying pretty much the same thing she said when last they talked. That she loves him, and enjoyed their time together, but she can't lose me. I'm still the love of her life, but she'll always have a place for him in her heart. That they can still be friends if he chooses, but the physical relationship between them is over. He begged her to see him one last time that week, and yep...you guessed it, she said yes. One more for the road, right? Who am I to say anything, that's what I did to her the previous night. Of course I added all of that to the archive I'd compiled. December 4th is when phase 3, the final phase of operation "Shinobi Ghost" started. The divorce papers where in hand. My new place or residence was set up. Now I had to slowly start moving me stuff out of the house. But 1st, I had to break the news to my boys. I called my oldest to the house that Friday night, had them join me in my office...and laid everything on that table. Not the specifics, but that there mother had been cheating on me for over a year, and I was going to be filing for divorce soon. My 17 year old was especially shaken up by this, because he himself had recently experienced his 1st taste of infidelity. Yep, his 1st GF had cheated on him just 4 months prior. Seeing his heart broken a 2nd time at the idea that his own mother was capable of doing this hit him hard. My oldest took it a lot better, and suggested taking his brother in to live with him until this blows over, to which I agreed. We packed up some of his stuff, and he asked me was I gonna be ok. I told him "Yes, son. I'm going to be alright. And so are you. We're going to be alright. I promise." And then they were off. The hardest part was now over, and it was now time to arm the nukes. Over the next few weeks, day by day Oz would help me get a little of my most sensitive stuff out of the house. Gave him a list of all of the definite stuff to grab while Sue and I were at work and left him the spare key. This was all stuff Sue wouldn't notice was missing unless you told her it was gone. I'd also gotten a new phone and phone number, and told everyone who needed to know (Oz, Joey, Nina, My boys, big sis and my mother) my new contact info. Meanwhile, I'm keeping up the rouse with Sue and she's non the wiser. trickling bits and pieces of affection to her just to keep her off of the trail, whilst she's still in contact with POS. Not to the extent that they'd been prior, but there's still an emotional thing happening. The fog is feint, but it's still there. All the while, I gather everything, and I do mean everything. Every bit of data I've archived since I started the plan, call logs, texts, pics, emails...everything, and start making printouts. Folks, I must have spent over a $1500 on staples supplies. Printer ink, paper, binders, the works. And I cataloged everything in order, from the beginning of the affair until that last bit 2 weeks ago, December 16th in the binders. 14 of them. I then put each one in a box, and gift wrapped each, addressing them to various people. My mother (my father passed 7 years ago), her parents, her 2 sister, her brother, her HR department (Did I forget to mention POS works for the same company, and there's an expressed rule against inter-company relationships because of the nature of what she does?), several of her friends, POS AND POS's parents. Lugged all of those fuckers to the post office and shipped them all out December 16th. ETA for delivery, December 22-24th. PERFECT. So we're now at Christmas Eve. Sue comes home around the usual time, no idea if she'd seen POS, I'd stop tracking her on the app the 18th. Figure I'd gotten all the mileage I needed from it. As per usual, she showers, hangs out with me a bit, I blow her back out on the living room couch (I know, I'm a fucking asshole) and she turns in for the night. The final phase was upon me at long last. The nuke I'd been arming since June was finally about to launched. In the middle of the night, I woke up and wrapped up one of the 3 remaining binders, with the divorce papers taped to the inside cover, and set it on my side of the bed with a note note that said "Merry Christmas" on it. Next to it I left my old phone, and the business card of my lawyer. I packed up the remainder of my most needed items, enough to fill 2 backpacks, and I left my home...that I spent 23 years in, for the last time. That my friends, was one week ago. To Sue I am completely off the grid. Gone. Shadow ghosted. She's blocked on FB, but still hasn't blocked me for some reason, so I'm keeping tabs on the fallout. It's absolutely glorious. My packages have reached everyone I sent them out to, and Sue is getting crucified. Her youngest sister completely dressed her down. Both of her parents have condemned her. My mom absolutely destroyed her. Like holy shit, I know my mom has a mean streak...but the things she called Sue were un-fucking-holy. She's been frantically trying to find out if anyone knows where I am, but those that due, aren't saying a word. All over her FB feed she's desperately trying to reach me, because I'm guessing she knows I'm likely looking. But I'm not saying a fucking word to her without my lawyer present. That'll be the next time I share oxygen with her. She's got no way of spinning the narrative to paint me as the bad guy, because I've exposed her to everyone who matters to her. And from what a mutual friend who works in the same company as her, she and POS apparently are being put on administrative leave as of tomorrow, so yea...chances are she'll be going into 2021 unemployed. As for the the final 2 binders, well...one has been turned over to my lawyer as my final bit of evidence for my impending divorce, and the last one I put in my storage unit to be burned in Joey's fire pit when the divorce is final. Do I feel guilty about this? No. Not even in the slightest. 23 years I did right by this woman. I gave her the home she wanted. I gave her the family she wanted. I gave her the life I felt we both deserved, and I loved her unconditionally. Never have I faltered. Never have I strayed. Never have I even entertained the notion of breaking my vows. When an issue came up that I felt was effecting our marriage, I came to her and told her, and we sorted it out as best we could. She opted to find comfort in another man's bed. Rather then come to me and say she was unhappy with our sex life at the time, she decided to step out with a young punk who gave her the tingles. So no, I have no sympathy for what I did, or for her. She can burn in hell for all I care. The most I stand to lose is my house, a car and maybe a couple hundred bucks a month in alimony, but seeing as the divorce is filed under the statute of adultery and NYS is At Fault, that might get waved with the insurmountable about of evidence I've provided. As far as I'm concerned, she's dead to me and I'm never looking back. TL:DR - Wife of 23 years had a 1 year long affair with a co-worker 18 years younger then her. Pretended to be in an affair myself while collecting evidence of hers for the majority of 2020. Had divorce papers drawn up early Fall. Compiled all the evidence in early December. Shipped binders full of the evidence to everyone near and dear to her to arrive around Christmas Eve. Left one binder with the divorce notice attached inside on my pillow, as well as my phone and lawyer's card as she slept Christmas Eve. Completely went off the grid on her as her life completely imploded the following days after Christmas. Quick edit: NYS is not fully "at fault". Under certain circumstances a divorce can be filed at fault, of which my lawyer has informed me my case falls under. I'll be meeting the STBXW with her lawyer tomorrow. I'm guessing I'll just update here. 2nd Edit: To the guy on Youtube and in my PM who said I got cucked for over a year, and all of my evidence will not be submittable in court claiming he's a "retired PI" with 20 years experience, you can fuck right the fuck off. Had a quick word on the matter with my lawyer earlier today (1/5/21) and everything provided outside of the phone calls are valid. Find something better to do with your time then harassing me, buddy.

All of y'all's year reviews made me want to do the same, so I wrote down a few sentences of everything I played last year. I was surprised it was so much as my partner moved in with me and I expected to have a lot less time, but that actually didn't happen and Corona did its thing. I'm a bit late to the review party, but I needed time to write down my thoughts and didn't want to do it in one session. Standard platform is PC, everything else is labelled. Done: Darkest Dungeon – halfway through (most tier 2 bosses). it was a nice and interesting start to a game I thought I liked, but 40 hours in I realized I was in fact not having fun. It was repetitive and the payout was very low for me as rewards felt small and especially upgrades to the village took a lot of time. I did play the game with too much emphasis on keeping every character alive, in a game that wants you burn them, so maybe that’s one me. But maybe it’s just not my type of game. Visuals, presentation and the IDEA of the combat system were nice, though. 5/10 Kingdom Hearts 3 (PS4) – finished story. Kingdom Hearts has become a burning pile of tires, but I hold it dear since the first game and I want to know what is happening. The visuals are amazing and the combat system is engaging, at least, yet a bit much at times, with way too many special interactions going on at all times. But KH3 is basically if the story has an alignment which is just true chaotic. The main story is…there, for most of the game, but nothing happens with it. Each world has its own story and both them and the overarching plot are almost completely irrelevant to each other. What a pity. Also, so many minigame and once-and-gone game mechanics, what the hell. I had fun, but it could have been so much better. And they skipped over most FF elements. 6/10 The Wolf Among Us – 100%. Played it with my partner who had already finished it years before. It’s one of the prime Telltale games and the first that I wasn’t familiar with the source material with. It has a very interesting lore and visuals for sure. Other than that, very much a standard Telltale game and you either like it or you don’t. I did enjoy it a lot with its interesting plot and characters. 8/10 Starlink: Battle for Atlas (Switch, digital version) – finished story. I like me some occasional space game. Starlink was an oddball in many ways for me. I probably wouldn’t have looked at it as I thought it’s just a toy merch game, but Starfox and the existence of a toyless version drew me to this. I know I could have played nicer looking version, but the tie-in with Starfox was actually not that shallow and came with a small unique storyline, so that’s the most Starfox I will get until Nintendo releases (and doesn’t fuck up) another full game. Due to its toy origins, the game has a few unique quirks, like the weapon, ship and pilot switching on-the-go to match enemy vulnerabilities and combat styles. The mix of planetary and solar exploration and gradual faction growth with even a few RTS elements sprinkled in worked for me. It was a lot of fun! 7/10 Injustice 2 – finished story, some achievement hunting, trying out all characters a bit and dabbled in the multiverse mode. I’m not a huge Beat’Em’Up player, but some concepts are too interesting to pass up. Given how few Heroe League (Avengers and Justice League) games come out well, I had to take my chances here. The story is…forced, but it works for this kind of game. The interactions between the heroes are pretty entertaining to watch. I can’t really judge if the combat system was good or not or balanced or not, but it worked for me, although some fights were pretty frustrating. 7/10 Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales – 100%. Gwent really got to me in the Witcher 3. It was kinda sad to see that this is an entirely different card game (although closer to the online Gwent), but it was still a great one. Telling the really interesting story of Queen Meve, the game not only expands the lore of the really intriguing Witcherverse, it also tells it through this mix of roaming through a map and army fights presented by card battles. The visuals weren’t all too exciting, although the art style worked for me. The score was awesome, though, maybe even better than the one from W3. I can absolutely recommend this game to any person interested in card games and in the Witcher. 9/10 Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden – finished story and most content. I have so many tactical RPGs on my backlog, all with very interesting settings, but animal mutants in a postapocalyptic Sweden? That’s one of the freshest ideas in a while. The top hat wearing duck really sold it to me. Unlike many other games of its genre like XCOM, the areas are connected with each other like in more classic RPGs. Stealth kills played a huge part in this game as open combat makes the game a lot harder. It’s not a very long game, which I appreciated. However, the initial premise of its animal mutants really fell short as there were actually not that many in the game. I also would have liked to have more of the characters in my team, but the stealth advantages made some characters a lot stronger than others, so there was little choice in which people to take. Itemization and progress were alright, the combat is pretty much as in XCOM etc. 7/10 Cities in Motion – played some scenarios. Preparing for Cities: Skylines, I figured I should play this first. It’s an alright public transport planning simulation that made me excited for planning stuff throughout several cities. However, I have some serious issues with it. For once, this game punished you hard for planning public transport like in real life and creating ridiculously tiny lines (like 2 stations per metro line) was the only way to any meaningful amount of money. Also, the German scenario pack has 12 scenarios, but only 4 cities (other packs are similar). It’s interesting to revisit cities in different eras, but to rebuild everything every time is annoying. And the tasks you get are borderline asinine, like building a line with three stations in far ends of the map, which I circumvented with temporary lines that I immediately deleted after completing it. In its core it had great potential, but felt lazily executed. 5,5/10 BATTLETECH – finished story, some flashpoints and fooled around with mech components for a bit afterwards. Been a while since I dived into MechWarrior games, maybe a good 17 years. Battletech is…GOOD. Maybe my favorite game I have played that year. The campaign is great, has a good plot, but also gives you an open galaxy to explore at your own leisure. The hunt for new mech chassis in the midgame was the most fun I think. Building mechs, balancing your finances, keeping your people alive and trained, random events on board of your ship and upgrading your ship all felt meaningful and well interconnected. It’s also a turn-based tactical RPG, but it works with its own rules (like weapon groups and destroyable sections) and does so very well. 9,5/10 Batman – The Telltale Series – 100%. A solid game for both Batman and Telltale fans. The story was original enough and I always enjoy a plot that isn’t focused on the way overused Joker – who has his part, but a very interesting one. Not really much more to say here. 8/10 The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (Switch) – finished story and most of the map. Finally, I tackled this behemoth of this generation. I haven’t played a Zelda since Majora’s Mask and the reason for that was a lack of drive to finish either of the N64 installments. Now, 20 years and a friend with a copy available later, I felt urged to play it as I wanted to give back the copy. Didn’t expect much despite the hype, but I have to say this game is (almost) as good as people say. It’s one of the few games that really lets you do whatever you want in the order you want (after a brief tutorial). My partner is playing it right now and it’s interesting to see how different our approaches to the order of quests and also specific challenges are. It rewards creative problem solving due to its physics engine. It is not perfect, especially the weapon system is weird and non-permanency in weapons feels just odd. NPCs are not very well written. The world is rather empty and while that has a plot reason, it feels like there should be more at times. But despite that, the game is a lot of fun and deserves its reputation. 9/10 Monster Hunter World + Iceborne (PS4) – defeated everything up to Furious Rajang, about 350 hours played with a fixed group of 3 and sometimes two other RL friends. Probably the game played most intensely this year. I bought a PS4 Pro in February and soon after – also thanks to Corona – I started playing this with two other friends, almost daily for several months. I had played Tri a decade ago and liked the general idea, but hated a lot of outdated conventions (both from Nintendo and the game itself) back then. World does most things I hated so much better. The monsters are engaging and (mostly) fun, the weapons are diverse and have their niches, the progression system is addictive, I love the Palicos & the private suite customizations and there is so much to see and find in the few maps they have. Great game if you like the combat and if you don’t focus too much on story because that one is paper-thin. 9/10 Uncharted 4: A Thief's End (PS4) – finished story. I liked U2 and U3 a lot, so this was a must-play after getting the PS4. It’s probably the most graphically impressive game I have played so far. The combat felt a little forced at times, but I guess that’s the genre. Although sneaking felt more possible and rewarding than in previous titles (as far as I remember). The story is a typical “one last gig” thing, but I liked the inclusion of Drake’s youth and especially how they concluded the Drake saga (maybe?). It’s a very solid game and definitely a must-play for PS4 owners. 8,5/10 EVERSPACE – finished story, post-story and most side missions. I don’t like losing progress, but like Rogue-likes with in-between progression systems, so despite my first hesitation, I picked up this game as I was craving a new space game. Though having a VR, I never got to play it in that mode, but still, I had a lot of fun with it. Some runs were intense and discovering new elements always put an excited wtf face on my head. The in-universe explanation for it being Rogue-like worked for me and getting funds to improve your ships between runs was addictive enough to try again and again. Same with weapons, they were different enough to try out different ones. Just don’t expect too much content out of this, it’s not a big game. 7/10 GRID (2019) – finished base game and some of the season pass content. I was a big fan of the first Grid and played all games in between. But like them, this one did not manage to be as engaging as the first one. While I enjoyed playing through the different leagues and liked the variety of cars and inclusion of a team mate, I did get bored to go through every cup as some of them had a severe lack of cars within them. There was no upgrading of cars, money was meaningless for 99% of the game and a overall career feeling of the ‘story’ mode was absent. At least I didn’t have to basically only race against Ravenwest anymore and other teams were still relevant. I feel like Codemasters could do a lot more with the foundation they have created here, but fail to connect the races in a meaningful way. 6/10 Star Ocean: Integrity and Faithlessness (PS4) – finished story and most side quests. This was one of my most wanted PS4 titles before Horizon: Zero Dawn came out. I loved Star Ocean 1, 2 and 4 so much. 4 in particular was just great enough to fill the small void that FFXIII had left back then. I heard about the mediocre reviews of IaF. And it was…actually mediocre. What I forgot or never knew was that I got released as a PS3 game in Japan first. And it really, really shows. The game was UGLY. Not ugly ugly, but playing it directly after Uncharted 4 was quite a shock. Not that it matters too much. However, the second problem I have with this game is directly aim at its soul. The other games had you jumping between planets and several distinct locations. And IaF started very promising, hinting at similar qualities. But then, it just…went into its climax and ended. Sure, some parts are in actual space. But you have seen about 80% of the locations within the first quarter of the game, which is ridiculous. It’s such a pity as the game’s story and combat are actually very enjoyable and I loved just grinding, which is quite unusual for me. But the narrow scope of the game wastes a lot of potential and that’s a real disappointment to me as a fan of the series. It could have easily done so much better. 6,5/10 Risen – finished. Oh boy, this game was sitting in my backlog for a LONG time – probably since its release I wanted to try it out. Unfortunately, this is a case of being TOO patient. The game is horribly outdated nowadays, the combat is not much fun and punishes you hard even on easy difficulty. The quest flow, general plot, start and choice of character skills are good, but I do think everything else – graphics, item flow, combat, sound, art design - was pretty bad. This was two years before Skyrim, but it feels like it’s been 10, honestly. I am still curious about Risen 2, 3 and Elex, however. But I might skip the first two after this. 3/10 Team Sonic Racing (Switch) – finished story. Yes, story. It’s as good dumb as you would expect from a Sonic racing game. Weirdly enough, I performed a lot better in handheld mode. The minigames are frustratingly hard as drifting is way overdone. The actual racing is nice, but no match to Mario Kart 8, although I do appreciate the idea of teams with ultimate boosts and item sharing. 6,5/10 Yakuza 0 – finished story and most major side activities. God, this game completely surprised me. I was absolutely 0 interested in crime settings, but Humble gave me this gem of a game. My partner suggested to try it out together, but lost interest in it, so we stopped for 2 months. I then picked it up again by myself and got increasingly invested in the story, the combat system and the bajillion of side things to do. THERE IS SO MUCH TO DO! And most of it is fun, doesn’t overstay its welcome too much and helps develop the main characters a little bit. The Real Estate and Hostess Club minigames are basically entire games-within-a-game, the pocket racer would also work by itself and the Karaoke songs were absolutely adorable and are a must-see in all of gaming. While I thought that the game got bloated a bit due to the two characters both having their own full-blown story, but sharing a single game, the interconnection made it kind of necessary to not separate them. But the game felt a bit long thanks to that (and all of the minigames that felt kinda mandatory at times). Anyway, I am now completely hooked on the series and look forward to the next entry – although I really need some time off lest I encounter the good old Assassin’s Creed-like fatigue. But given I couldn’t give two shits about Yakuza – even though I fucking majored in Japan Studies – this is an amazing feat. 9/10 Additional note: Getting into Yakuza memes alone is worth playing this, but the more I read and watch about this game and the series, the more and more I appreciate this franchise. Endless Legend with a few DLCs – finished two full games (~38 hours). I was in the mood for a 4X game and this one was poking in my side for a bit. Endless Space was quite enjoyable and the overarching plot kinda works? I enjoyed expanding, researching and the quest system as well, but it felt just like Civ5 in general, with a few exceptions of course. It was weird that the ‘ages’ weren’t really differentiated visually and that you kept using the same units throughout the whole game – also there are not many of them, but there is an intriguing RPG-like customization system baked into it instead, which was cool enough. The winter and sea fortress system was also refreshing (but probably brought in from DLCs). Factions had some differences that went beyond what Civ would do, but the really deviating ones (like lava or fungus people that need different ways of city building) were hidden behind DLCs I do not have. Two games were enough for me, but I may come back in the future. 7/10 Need for Speed: Payback (PS4) – finished story. Being a PSN+ freebie, I got a bit excited over the silly F&F story that I felt like seeing with my own eyes. And the game delivered on that - but not much more. My last true NfS was Hot Pursuit (2010) (and my NfS favorites: Shift 1+2), so it had been a while. But I realize that I do not need that speed anymore. While the game was ultimately enjoyable, especially cruising around, finding stuff and customizing the cars, I especially disliked the offroad races with their weird rubber band perfect traction AI which was really frustrating. The driving in general revolved too much around drifting everything, but I guess that’s full arcade racers for you. And the automatic car reset was a bit too eager at times. 5,5/10 Rise of the Tomb Raider (PS4) – finished story and Croft manor side story. Also a PSN+ freebie. I have played the first game and was quite entertained by it. As I played Uncharted not too long ago, I was able to compare those two games a bit and while Uncharted looks undoubtedly better (and I prefer non-supernatural stuff in this kind of game), I think that Tomb Raider is the better game overall. This might be due to the usage of a skill and weapon customization system, which made exploring places and looking for XP, resources and parts fun. I also think that limiting the game’s world to one location (outside the prologue) helped immersion a lot. The game has quite a bit of a different feeling than the first TR, but mostly due to Lara being kickass from the start instead of allegedly being a frail grad student that 20 hours later massacres armies of armed and trained mercenaries. I liked it quite a lot of the backstory with her dad and caretaker were quite interesting as well. 8/10 Not done / on and off: League of Legends – almost exclusively ARAM, sometimes bot games for trying out stuff. Not much to say to this, it’s a notorious, but ultimately good MOBA. The new items overhaul was a bit of a big change, but now I am getting the hang of it, I think. Some of the new champions of this year are fun to play, like Samira, Lilia and Seraphine. One of my friends quit the game for good, I think, so only one other is left, and it’s the go-to game if it’s just the two of us. Sometimes I play by myself, but I try to play more single player games then. Animal Crossing: New Horizons (Switch) – some 70 hours to built my house, the island is my partner’s. This is my first Animal Crossing and after hesitating at the beginning, I did enjoy it quite a lot. It’s very relaxing, you can work towards small goals, but without any stress. Interactions with other villagers will become repetitive, but at the beginning it feels very sweet. It’s also nice that Nintendo supports the game with free updates every month. 8/10 Yu-Gi-Oh! Legacy of the Duelist: Link Evolution! (Switch) – played through story mode until midway ARC-V. I have my YGO phases every now and then where I watch a show and play a corresponding game at the same time. The Switch game is pretty nice as it lets me play through all TV shows’ stories, lets me play with most characters’ decks, has reverse duels for every story battle, but I also can always use my own decks which is sometimes very necessary as some matches are VERY one-sided. There are also challenge battles against very good decks which are as difficult as I imagine actual competitive dueling. Two things I don’t like about this particular YGO game: No free battle vs. CPU and only 30 custom deck save slots. The Tag Force games were still ahead in that regard. Still, it’s a solid entry that can provide hundreds of hours of entertainment for YGO enthusiasts and is a great travel companion. 8/10 Undertale – I just can’t get into it, sorry. This is my second attempt and I got a lot further than last time (about one third in). But something just doesn’t click with me. Maybe the humor feels forced, maybe the retro graphics do, or maybe I get too hype-talked by people. I don’t know. Super Seducer – almost done with the first one. We mostly play it together or with other people, to have a good time. I got this from Dunkey, but I have to say the first one isn’t even that funny. A lot of the explanation in how to approach women are cringy at best and predatory at worst. I guess it does teach how to behave better for some very inexperienced guys, but in general it shouldn’t be used as a guideline in how to get girls to talk to you. Katamari Damacy REROLL – almost done. It’s a fun game for a silly afternoon. The controls are garbage, but it doesn’t matter too much. The humour is great and rolling up increasingly bigger things is weirdly satisfying. Borderlands 2 – Playing with friends every now and then. It’s still fun and I haven’t explored all characters yet (although leave me alone with Krieg), so there’s still more to get out of it. Jackbox 1-7 – I was a huge fan of the early YDKJ games 20 years ago, so I’m happy they are still around and have adapted new technologies to further their game concepts. The Jackbox games have become staples in many parties and were a major driver during corona to get people together online around the globe to play a few rounds of whatever minigame we wanted to enjoy. Some games are not good, of course, but the ever-growing library of minigames always manages to add refreshing new titles to the list. My favorites are Quiplash, T-K.O. and Champ’d. 10/10 Risk of Rain 2 – unlocked all characters, had a couple of runs with friends and by myself. I have to say I might not like the game too much. The characters are interesting and the upgrade system is addictive, but losing progress without much being gained from a run (except lunar coins and unlocked characters/skills) feels like making no progress at all, in a way. It’s fun to play with friends and you can somewhat relax and chat while jumping and shooting around. 6/10 Beat Saber – half of campaign mode, but mostly custom songs. I LOVE Beat Saber. It’s the reason I got a VR system this year (a used 2017 Vive, but I don’t need more for that) and I had a lot of fun (and exercise!) with it. It’s sad when your wanted songs have not been mapped or mapped really bad, but the existing database is really big and a lot of fun to go through. There are a lot of gameplay additions (like one-handed, 90° and 360° modes), but the standard mode is still the best (or most-supported). The latter half of the campaign is dumb as hell, tho - hitting a specific amount of combos within a very small threshold in both min and max is such a dumb thing. Mods make the game a whole lot better and some stuff should really be in the base game. 9/10 Audica – played through campaign mode and some custom songs. Not as good as Beat Saber, but it’s still very enjoyable. It’s hits the same spot, but with a twist. Mod support is not a big here, but still there. 8/10 Cities: Skylines + most DLCs – still working on my first city after 40 hours. Depicted as the penultimate city builder, I had to get into this at some point. I have to admit, it’s pretty good. As good as imagined? Maybe, maybe not. The base formula is not that complicated, but the DLCs add a whole lot of flavor to it. I can definitely recommend it, but I still have a lot of time ahead with it. Postponed: Xenoblade Chronicles 2 (Switch) – I started and had a lot of fun with it, but stopped after roughly 5-10 hours as my partner was taking over the Switch with BotW (she played Witcher 3 before, so I was able to player with the Switch in the meantime) and switching cartridges all the time is a pain in the ass. Will continue soon and am very excited to do so. Summary: 2020 was probably the most intense gaming year for me so far, mostly thanks to Corona. My top three are probably BATTLETECH, BotW and Yakuza 0, with some honorable mentions to Beat Saber, MH:W and Jackbox. My gaming year 2021 is going to look similarily awesome and I already planned to play so many very high-profile games: Xenoblade Chronicles 2, Paper Mario: The Origame King, Fire Emblem: Three Houses, Starpoint Gemini Warlords (almost finished this one already), Darksiders 2, Horizon: Zero Dawn, Gran Turismo Sport, Persona 5 Royal, Final Fantasy VII Remake, Borderlands 3, GTA V.

With all of the great DC TV shows that are currently on the air, it seems to take the strength of a Kryptonian to follow everything, and I am not just talking about the infinite number of storylines concurrently existing within the Arrowverse. Of course, that being, how many people do you know who can say they have seen every episode of Doom Patrol as well as The Flash? However, what really concerns me, especially these days, is keeping track of the upcoming release dates for these series. Just keeping tabs on the premiere dates of these extremely popular TV shows alone would normally be a much simpler task, yet, with halts in production in the wake of the Covid-19 outbreak and other behind-the-scenes blunders, there is no telling when any of these series are scheduled to return or even if they are destined to return at all. In hopes to give fans at least some explanation of what to expect, we are taking a closer look at the current status of all of your favorite TV shows ripped from the pages of DC Comics, and some you have yet to see. The following is a comprehensive one-stop-shop of what, when, and where you can expect the next (or first) chapter of the best DC-inspired shows to unfold on TV or on various digital platforms. All the release dates of these series are subject to change so be sure to check us out on our Instagram page for any updates. The link is given below! With gritty shows like Titans, obscure-but-refreshing series like Doom Patrol, and impactful limited dramas like Watchmen, DC has become a powerhouse for bringing comic book characters to TV. Despite Marvel has had success with several shows, DC TV (via the Arrowverse primarily) has still been ruling the game for almost a full decade. However, as the brand is getting closer to celebrating its decade-long run, Warner Bros. is entering a new phase for how to make DC TV shows across their platforms. There's already a long list of DC TV shows currently on the air, and that list will only get bigger in the near future. Several more shows set in the world of DC Comics are on their way from The CW as well as streaming services HBO Max and DC Universe. Soon, DC Comics will have most of its biggest characters represented on the small screen at once. The biggest corner of DC TV is of course the Arrowverse on The CW, which consists of Arrow, The Flash, Legends of Tomorrow, Supergirl, and Batwoman. Together, the five interconnected shows are packed with popular and obscure heroes and villains from the DC Universe - but those aren't the only DC shows from that network, of course. The series that started it all, Arrow, is over after the conclusion of its 10-episode eighth season, but that doesn't mean the Arrowverse is going to start shrinking. The CW still has more in the pipeline. DC Universe's live-action universe kicked off with Titans and grew to include Doom Patrol and the Swamp Thing series. DC Universe does have other projects still in the works, as does HBO Max. Here are all the upcoming TV shows based on characters from DC Comics across all major platforms, along with their release dates. 1.Pennyworth, Season 2: Epix in December 2020 Not long after Gotham, the Fox hit following the rise of the city’s greatest supervillains during Bruce Wayne’s childhood, went off the air, fans craving even more Batman prequel series were treated with this show following Alfred Pennyworth (Jack Bannon) as 1960s special forces soldier years before working as the Waynes’ live-in servant. The critically acclaimed, thrilling period drama, Pennyworth has been renewed for a second season of Epix. 2.Batwoman, Season 2: The CW on 17th January 2021 The biggest changes to the Arrowverse will be seen on Batwoman, whose lead actress, Ruby Rose, chose to leave the series after just one year playing LGBTQ+ comic book icon Kate Kane. The decision came after surgery for an on-set injury caused the already demanding role to become especially challenging for the former Orange Is the New Black star. The second season, airing on The CW in January 2021, will introduce Javicia Leslie as the titular vigilante, becoming the first black actress to play the role. 3.Black Lightning, Season 4: The CW on February 8, 2021. Speaking of lightning, the Arrowverse debuted its first series led by a black superhero in 2017, following the adventures of a school principal with a plethora of bio-electric abilities, and its most “electrifying” season yet is on its way. Black Lightning, starring Cress Williams as the aging titular superhero who comes out of retirement per his daughter’s inspiration, will see its Season 4 debut on The CW in February 2021. 4.The Flash, Season 7: The CW on February 23, 2021. The first spin-off and second building block of the Arrowverse’s construction, in which a young forensic scientist working for the Central City Police Department gains the power of super speed after a fateful lightning strike, was renewed for a seventh season in early 2020. Grant Gustin is set to return in the title role of The Flash, which has been the highest-rated series on The CW since its 2014 debut, to reveal the answers to fans’ most pressing questions in February 2021. 5.Superman & Lois, Season 1: The CW February 23, 2021 The series premiere of Superman & Lois hits The CW in February 2021. Hoechlin's Superman first appeared in Supergirl season 2, and Lois Lane was introduced to the Arrowverse in last year's Elseworlds crossover. The show will see DC Comics' most popular power couple navigate through their new lives as working parents. Superman & Lois will be the first live-action series about Clark Kent since Smallville. 6.Supergirl, Season 6: The CW, spring of 2021 Originally debuting on CBS before it joined her Arrowverse family at their home on The CW, Melissa Benoist’s run as the tough as nails Kara Danvers (Clark Kent’s cousin) has been a success of Kryptonian proportions. There is no confirmation for when Supergirl, and Benoist’s improved costume from Season 5, will return for its sixth season, but it is expected to premiere sometime in spring of 2021. 7.Titans, Season 3: HBO Max, spring of 2021 After a stunning first two seasons of intense thrills and stunning twists on the digital platform DC Universe, Titans will have the more recently launched HBO Max to call home for its third season. Despite facing a long delay in production, the series, following a group of younger vigilantes has been renewed, but without a set premiere date at the moment. The team of teenaged superheroes includes Batman’s former partner Robin (now Nightwing), the shape-changing Beast Boy, the mystical Raven, and the energy powered Starfire. The team battled a number of enemies in its first season. They were joined by other supporting characters from the comics, including Hawk and Dove, Wonder Girl/Donna Troy, and even Bruce Wayne himself in the second season. If you want to know more about this series, do not forget to check out our video on what’s hot and what’s not with DC’s Titans. 8.Legends Of Tomorrow, Season 6: The CW in summer of 2021 The Arrowverse installment with the most versatility (on account of its dizzying rotation of different locations and time settings) would have to be Legends of Tomorrow. The diverse group of ragtag heroes will continue to embark on more adventures traveling through time to save reality itself from its worst moments in the summer of 2021 for its sixth season on The CW. 9.Stargirl, Season 2: The CW, summer of 2021 Making its debut on The CW in the summer of 2020 was Stargirl, which was also a historical moment for introducing the much-overlooked Justice Society of America (not to be confused with the Justice League, which was actually created later) into the Arrowverse continuity. Stargirl is a series about the teenage superhero of the same name in DC Comics. Courtney Whitmore is a high school student who discovers that her step-father was a sidekick to an actual superhero. After going through his belongings, she finds the Cosmic Staff, a powerful weapon that imbues her with powers. The endearing smash hit, starring Brec Bassinger as the young, but extremely powerful, title heroine, will return for its sophomore outing in the fall of 2021. 10. Peacemaker: HBO Max, August 6, 2021 Peacemaker is another upcoming DC Comics show arriving on HBO Max, based on an upcoming Warner Bros. film. That film is The Suicide Squad, which will feature, among many other folks, John Cena playing the role of Peacemaker. While the movie won’t be out until August 2021, the early behind-the-scenes reaction to this violent superhero was so good, HBO Max commissioned a series centering just on Peacemaker. James Gunn, who wrote and directed The Suicide Squad, will write all of the episodes of Peacemaker, and will also direct the pilot episode. The latest DC TV show HBO Max announced to be in the works came as a surprise. Gunn has also confirmed that other characters from the film will appear on the show. What Gunn won't confirm is whether this means Peacemaker will survive The Suicide Squad. 11.Zack Snyder’s Justice League: HBO Max on 5 September 2021 This is one of the most anticipated HBO Max original series of all. Co-writer and director Zack Snyder had to leave the production of the live-action Justice League film before it was completed due to a family tragedy. Reshoots and rewrites of the movie were done without his supervision. As a result, the 2017 film released to theaters was not what Snyder had envisioned. After a huge amount of pressure from fans, Warner Bros decided to give Snyder another chance to create his version of the film. The result will be called Zack Snyder’s Justice League (also known as The Snyder Cut). Lots of stuff that was filmed for the original movie, but was later cut, will be put back in for this version. New visual effects will be added, and even some new live-action scenes will be filmed. This won’t be just a re-edited movie. Zack Snyder’s Justice League will first be shown as four one-hour episodes on HBO Max, before being recut into a massive four-hour film. 12.Young Justice, Season 4: HBO Max, late 2021 Making the transition from its DC Universe home to HBO Max is another series following the adventures of a group of powerful young heroes, but this one is animated. After a long hiatus following its cancellation in 2013, the beloved Young Justice will come back for a fourth season and promises storylines of a more mature nature for the fans who have aged during the series’ absence. While the first two seasons of this youth-based superteam were first shown on Cartoon Network, the third season debuted on DC Universe in 2019. Now, the fourth season has been greenlighted and it will make its debut as an HBO Max exclusive in 2021.
Green Lantern: HBO Max, late 2021
If you can forget that awful 2011 live-action Green Lantern movie, you might want to get excited about this upcoming DC Comics show on HBO Max. Green Lantern is the “space cop” of the DC Universe. He protects the Earth, and the universe, from cosmic threats. He does this with his green-charged Power Ring, which can create almost any shape or object he desires. Not much is known about the show, other than the fact that Berlanti, the architect of the Arrowverse, says it will be "our biggest DC show ever made". Since numerous heroes have held the mantle of Green Lantern in the comics, it's unclear which character will be the show's protagonist or if it'll focus on the Green Lantern Corps as a whole. Stargirl showrunner and longtime DC creator Geoff Johns is also working on the 1-hour drama. Currently being referred to as “a Green Lantern inspired series,” the show will span several decades and feature Sinestro as one of the confirmed characters. Additionally, it will explore two specific stories about the Emerald Knights on Earth. With HBO Max aiming the show to debut in 2021, more news will likely emerge throughout the rest of next year. 14. Doom Patrol, Season 3: HBO Max, late 2021 After debuting its first season on DC Universe, and it’s second on both DC Universe and HBO Max, Doom Patrol will return for its third outing in 2021 as an HBO Max exclusive. Centered on the DC superhero team, the series is based largely on the comics run written by Grant Morrison. This team of misfits with superpowers includes Robotman, who has a human brain inside a metal body. There’s also Crazy Jane, who has 64 personalities, each with its own superpower. You can go ahead and watch the first two seasons now on HBO Max. It’s great stuff! 15. Harley Quinn, Season 3: HBO Max, late 2021 One of the best DC Comics shows on HBO Max is an animated series. Harley Quinn is a very R-rated show, featuring the Joker’s popular sidekick. Kaley Cuoco voices the titular anti-hero, as she works alongside her best friend Poison Ivy to fulfill her dream of becoming a member of the Legion of Doom. The series will encompass multiple characters from Batman's rogues' gallery, and even the Caped Crusader himself, voiced by Diedrich Bader. It should be noted that the cartoon is packed with violence and explicit language, so this is not a show for children. After debuting on DC Universe, you can now watch the first two seasons on HBO Max. The third season will make its way onto the service in 2021. 16. Justice League Dark: HBO Max, Late 2021 J.J. Abrams and his Bad Robot team are in charge of developing this show for HBO Max. It’s based on the Justice League spin-off comic, featuring a team that battles more supernatural foes. In the comics, the team has included characters like John Constantine, Deadman, Zatanna, Swamp Thing, and even Wonder Woman. There’s no word on which of these characters might appear on the show. Aside from a planned 2021 premiere date, details are being kept under wrap - including who will be part of the line-up for the HBO Max original. However, similarly to Green Lantern, Justice League Dark will have a movie quality to it as HBO Max content chief Kevin Reilly has confirmed the big production commitment they’re making to these shows. Other than Abrams developing it, no showrunner or writers have been announced. Once more details are officially revealed about the show, it might also give a better picture of what Abrams has in mind for a Justice League Dark universe including shows and films. 17.Strange Adventures: HBO Max, 2021 This series is yet another one that’s produced by Greg Berlanti. Taking its name from one of DC Comics’ classic Silver Age titles, Strange Adventures will be an anthology series featuring a wide range of DC Comics characters. HBO Max will become the home of Strange Adventures. Strange Adventures was a science fiction comic book series that was first released in the 1950s. The comic included stories about heroes like Adam Strange, Animal Man, Atomic Knights, Deadman, Darwin Jones, and Captain Comet. According to creator Greg Berlanti, HBO Max's take on Strange Adventures will cover "cautionary tales from a world where superpowers exist". The series will be comprised of single-episode stories about characters who live in the DC Universe. Adam Strange is said to be involved in some way, but he won't be the Krypton version of the character. 18.Aquaman: King of Atlantis: HBO Max, Early 2022 Not only is James Wan, who directed the 2018 live-action movie adaptation of Aquaman, working on the sequel and developing a Trench spinoff film, but the Australian filmmaker is also executive producing a 3-part animated series for HBO Max titled Aquaman: King of Atlantis. This show will be a three-part animated series that focuses on the undersea superhero. Aimed at kids, the series will focus on Aquaman’s first days on the job as king of the underwater kingdom of Atlantis. Each episode will have a unique storyline that features Arthur Curry as Atlantis’ greatest protector. The premiere episode will follow Arthur’s first outing as Aquaman with the help of Mera and Vulko. Ocean Master is confirmed to appear in the series as well as “unscrupulous surface dwellers” and “elder evils from beyond time.” No cast has been announced so far but Michael Clear, Rob Hackett, and Sam Register are the showrunners. HBO Max currently has Aquaman: King of Atlantis set to premiere in 2022. 19.The Batman Spinoff Series: HBO Max, March 4, 2022 With Matt Reeves’ upcoming The Batman being set outside the DCEU, the filmmaker is expanding his universe to HBO Max. Reeves is developing a spinoff series that will follow the Gotham City Police Department. Set during the first year of The Batman’s appearances in Gotham City, it will focus on its police department, as its officers have to deal with the masked vigilante, among other things. HBO Max has given a series commitment to the Gotham-based drama, which will continue one of the plots The Batman is introducing when it comes out next fall. The story follows the “anatomy of corruption” in Gotham City that Warner Bros. is now telling across multiple platforms, with HBO Max being one of them. This marks the first time the studio has ever done a spinoff from any of their DC movies as a TV series. Similar to Gotham, the show will be set before the events of The Batman. It's likely that HBO Max is targeting a 2022 release date for the spinoff show, a few months after The Batman has hit theatres. That’s our look at the current list of upcoming DC Comics shows on various platforms. What do you think? Does our list of upcoming DC TV show release dates have you even more excited for their return (or debut), or does it just make your watch schedule all the more overwhelming?

I know this is a long post, and it took me a lot of time to write, so I hope you will show this some love. If you are not a fan of reading this much, you can watch it in video format on our newly started YouTube channel: The link to the video is: https://youtu.be/-e3Vy4G92A8 If you decide to watch this, please do not forget to like the video and subscribe to our channel for more such content! We are looking for some love and support from fellow comics lovers to grow. With all of the great DC TV shows that are currently on the air, it seems to take the strength of a Kryptonian to follow everything, and I am not just talking about the infinite number of storylines concurrently existing within the Arrowverse. Of course, that being, how many people do you know who can say they have seen every episode of Doom Patrol as well as The Flash? However, what really concerns me, especially these days, is keeping track of the upcoming release dates for these series. Just keeping tabs on the premiere dates of these extremely popular TV shows alone would normally be a much simpler task, yet, with halts in production in the wake of the Covid-19 outbreak and other behind-the-scenes blunders, there is no telling when any of these series are scheduled to return or even if they are destined to return at all. In hopes to give fans at least some explanation of what to expect, we are taking a closer look at the current status of all of your favorite TV shows ripped from the pages of DC Comics, and some you have yet to see. The following is a comprehensive one-stop-shop of what, when, and where you can expect the next (or first) chapter of the best DC-inspired shows to unfold on TV or on various digital platforms. All the release dates of these series are subject to change so be sure to check us out on our Instagram page for any updates. The link is given below! With gritty shows like Titans, obscure-but-refreshing series like Doom Patrol, and impactful limited dramas like Watchmen, DC has become a powerhouse for bringing comic book characters to TV. Despite Marvel has had success with several shows, DC TV (via the Arrowverse primarily) has still been ruling the game for almost a full decade. However, as the brand is getting closer to celebrating its decade-long run, Warner Bros. is entering a new phase for how to make DC TV shows across their platforms. There's already a long list of DC TV shows currently on the air, and that list will only get bigger in the near future. Several more shows set in the world of DC Comics are on their way from The CW as well as streaming services HBO Max and DC Universe. Soon, DC Comics will have most of its biggest characters represented on the small screen at once. The biggest corner of DC TV is of course the Arrowverse on The CW, which consists of Arrow, The Flash, Legends of Tomorrow, Supergirl, and Batwoman. Together, the five interconnected shows are packed with popular and obscure heroes and villains from the DC Universe - but those aren't the only DC shows from that network, of course. The series that started it all, Arrow, is over after the conclusion of its 10-episode eighth season, but that doesn't mean the Arrowverse is going to start shrinking. The CW still has more in the pipeline. DC Universe's live-action universe kicked off with Titans and grew to include Doom Patrol and the Swamp Thing series. DC Universe does have other projects still in the works, as does HBO Max. Here are all the upcoming TV shows based on characters from DC Comics across all major platforms, along with their release dates. 1. Pennyworth, Season 2: Epix in December 2020 Not long after Gotham, the Fox hit following the rise of the city’s greatest supervillains during Bruce Wayne’s childhood, went off the air, fans craving even more Batman prequel series were treated with this show following Alfred Pennyworth (Jack Bannon) as 1960s special forces soldier years before working as the Waynes’ live-in servant. The critically acclaimed, thrilling period drama, Pennyworth has been renewed for a second season of Epix. 2. Batwoman, Season 2: The CW on 17th January 2021 The biggest changes to the Arrowverse will be seen on Batwoman, whose lead actress, Ruby Rose, chose to leave the series after just one year playing LGBTQ+ comic book icon Kate Kane. The decision came after surgery for an on-set injury caused the already demanding role to become especially challenging for the former Orange Is the New Black star. The second season, airing on The CW in January 2021, will introduce Javicia Leslie as the titular vigilante, becoming the first black actress to play the role. 3. Black Lightning, Season 4: The CW on February 8, 2021. Speaking of lightning, the Arrowverse debuted its first series led by a black superhero in 2017, following the adventures of a school principal with a plethora of bio-electric abilities, and its most “electrifying” season yet is on its way. Black Lightning, starring Cress Williams as the aging titular superhero who comes out of retirement per his daughter’s inspiration, will see its Season 4 debut on The CW in February 2021. 4. The Flash, Season 7: The CW on February 23, 2021. The first spin-off and second building block of the Arrowverse’s construction, in which a young forensic scientist working for the Central City Police Department gains the power of super speed after a fateful lightning strike, was renewed for a seventh season in early 2020. Grant Gustin is set to return in the title role of The Flash, which has been the highest-rated series on The CW since its 2014 debut, to reveal the answers to fans’ most pressing questions in February 2021. 5. Superman & Lois, Season 1: The CW February 23, 2021 The series premiere of Superman & Lois hits The CW in February 2021. Hoechlin's Superman first appeared in Supergirl season 2, and Lois Lane was introduced to the Arrowverse in last year's Elseworlds crossover. The show will see DC Comics' most popular power couple navigate through their new lives as working parents. Superman & Lois will be the first live-action series about Clark Kent since Smallville. 6. Supergirl, Season 6: The CW, spring of 2021 Originally debuting on CBS before it joined her Arrowverse family at their home on The CW, Melissa Benoist’s run as the tough as nails Kara Danvers (Clark Kent’s cousin) has been a success of Kryptonian proportions. There is no confirmation for when Supergirl, and Benoist’s improved costume from Season 5, will return for its sixth season, but it is expected to premiere sometime in spring of 2021. 7. Titans, Season 3: HBO Max, spring of 2021 After a stunning first two seasons of intense thrills and stunning twists on the digital platform DC Universe, Titans will have the more recently launched HBO Max to call home for its third season. Despite facing a long delay in production, the series, following a group of younger vigilantes has been renewed, but without a set premiere date at the moment. The team of teenaged superheroes includes Batman’s former partner Robin (now Nightwing), the shape-changing Beast Boy, the mystical Raven, and the energy powered Starfire. The team battled a number of enemies in its first season. They were joined by other supporting characters from the comics, including Hawk and Dove, Wonder Girl/Donna Troy, and even Bruce Wayne himself in the second season. If you want to know more about this series, do not forget to check out our video on what’s hot and what’s not with DC’s Titans. 8. Legends Of Tomorrow, Season 6: The CW in summer of 2021 The Arrowverse installment with the most versatility (on account of its dizzying rotation of different locations and time settings) would have to be Legends of Tomorrow. The diverse group of ragtag heroes will continue to embark on more adventures traveling through time to save reality itself from its worst moments in the summer of 2021 for its sixth season on The CW. 9. Stargirl, Season 2: The CW, summer of 2021 Making its debut on The CW in the summer of 2020 was Stargirl, which was also a historical moment for introducing the much-overlooked Justice Society of America (not to be confused with the Justice League, which was actually created later) into the Arrowverse continuity. Stargirl is a series about the teenage superhero of the same name in DC Comics. Courtney Whitmore is a high school student who discovers that her step-father was a sidekick to an actual superhero. After going through his belongings, she finds the Cosmic Staff, a powerful weapon that imbues her with powers. The endearing smash hit, starring Brec Bassinger as the young, but extremely powerful, title heroine, will return for its sophomore outing in the fall of 2021. 10. Peacemaker: HBO Max, August 6, 2021 Peacemaker is another upcoming DC Comics show arriving on HBO Max, based on an upcoming Warner Bros. film. That film is The Suicide Squad, which will feature, among many other folks, John Cena playing the role of Peacemaker. While the movie won’t be out until August 2021, the early behind-the-scenes reaction to this violent superhero was so good, HBO Max commissioned a series centering just on Peacemaker.

This show will be a three-part animated series that focuses on the undersea superhero. Aimed at kids, the series will focus on Aquaman’s first days on the job as king of the underwater kingdom of Atlantis. Each episode will have a unique storyline that features Arthur Curry as Atlantis’ greatest protector. The premiere episode will follow Arthur’s first outing as Aquaman with the help of Mera and Vulko. Ocean Master is confirmed to appear in the series as well as “unscrupulous surface dwellers” and “elder evils from beyond time.” No cast has been announced so far but Michael Clear, Rob Hackett, and Sam Register are the showrunners. HBO Max currently has Aquaman: King of Atlantis set to premiere in 2022. 19. The Batman Spinoff Series: HBO Max, March 4, 2022 With Matt Reeves’ upcoming The Batman being set outside the DCEU, the filmmaker is expanding his universe to HBO Max.

The /r/DCcomics Best of 2020 Awards Voting is now open!
Edit 2: We're re-opening the polls briefly, so that some of you late weekend warriors can get your vote in. The results will be locked and counted on Monday. Spam votes will be trashed on sight. This poll is for the /DCcomics community, not a loon who spends six hours making burner accounts for a Reddit poll. Edit: Unfortunately, some pathetic soul elected to create over 80 alternate Google accounts and spam the poll with duplicate votes, and thus we are closing this early. Thankfully, this person was not particularly subtle, and tossing out their votes will not be particularly difficult. Therefore, no categories or nominees will be vacated, and the current votes will stand. Here are the final nominees for the /DCcomics Best of 2020 Awards! Based on the submissions you made in the nomination thread, we selected around 4-7 nominees for each category, taking into account the total number of submissions and the voting distribution. There were some very competitive races, and even a late surge of voting in the last day, but we've finalized the nominees. The poll will be kept open for about a week. This post contains full details for each nominee, so please read through this post before voting, or use this as a guide to catch up on reading. In January, we'll announce the winners, and award Reddit Premium accordingly (once it's distributed by the Reddit admins). Additionally, the winner of Best New Character of 2020 will also be January's Character of the Month! Stay tuned.

Batman: Three Jokers - Pick anything
What seemed to be the most hyped up DC comic of the last five years landed with not quite a thud, but rather a sputter, as readers found themselves divided over many of its plot points, including but not limited to:
The self-contradicting "revelation" that Batman had known the Joker's identity all along
The Comedian's entire motivation being that he wanted Batman's complete attention, as if that weren't already the status quo for the past five decades
The retconning of the Joker's Killing Joke backstory to make him into a domestic abuser
Barbara Gordon's history and characterization being swept aside to make her into a romantic prop
Jason Todd being written as an incel who will continue to go on violent killing sprees because a girl turned won't go out with him
Batgirl - Babs makes bad choices
Barbara Gordon made quite a few perplexing choices throughout Batgirl, with the most egregious being that she easily forgave and fell in love with a corrupt cop who had conspired with Hush in a Gotham City takeover that had gotten many innocent people killed. She also victim-blamed Dick Grayson for acts that he committed while mind-controlled by the Joker. What.
Dark Nights: Death Metal - Robin King's everything
The Batman Who Laughs had already gotten on people's nerves, but no one was prepared for the abomination of edge known as the Robin King. As a child Bruce Wayne, Robin King's shtick of having cruel and disgusting ways to mutilate every hero worn out its welcome very quickly.
From elaborate essays about cardboard to vicious takedowns of bigots, this former Dan DiDio LARPer turned shitposter has entertained the subreddit all year with their silly antics, reminding us comic fans that it's okay to laugh at ourselves once in a while.
"Hal Jordan is worthless cardboard"
While many were excited to see Geoff Thorne take on the next era of Green Lantern comics, a few Hal Jordan fans were displeased when someone dug up Thorne's old Tweets disparaging Hal Jordan, likening him to a "cardboard cutout". Despite these tweets being years old (and often made in response to queries like "What's your unpopular comic opinion?"), Green Lantern fans found themselves bickering like Flash fans.
Roasting Ethan Van Sciver for defending pedophilia
Ethan Van Sciver, a former DC artist who spends his days slandering dead artists or harassing independent female artists, certainly has no shortage of awful deeds to answer for. One disgusting incident in particular, however, was when he stubbornly defended his friend and collaborator Dave Sim over child grooming, with his justification being that Elvis Presley also did it. Van Sciver's attempts at damage control (which included brigading this subreddit) resulted simply in more people mocking him for defending pedophilia.

I know this is a long post, and it took me a lot of time to write, so I hope you will show this some love. If you are not a fan of reading this much, you can watch it in video format on our newly started YouTube channel: The link to the video is: https://youtu.be/-e3Vy4G92A8 If you decide to watch this, please do not forget to like the video and subscribe to our channel for more such content! We are looking for some love and support from fellow comics lovers to grow. With all of the great DC TV shows that are currently on the air, it seems to take the strength of a Kryptonian to follow everything, and I am not just talking about the infinite number of storylines concurrently existing within the Arrowverse. Of course, that being, how many people do you know who can say they have seen every episode of Doom Patrol as well as The Flash? However, what really concerns me, especially these days, is keeping track of the upcoming release dates for these series. Just keeping tabs on the premiere dates of these extremely popular TV shows alone would normally be a much simpler task, yet, with halts in production in the wake of the Covid-19 outbreak and other behind-the-scenes blunders, there is no telling when any of these series are scheduled to return or even if they are destined to return at all. In hopes to give fans at least some explanation of what to expect, we are taking a closer look at the current status of all of your favorite TV shows ripped from the pages of DC Comics, and some you have yet to see. The following is a comprehensive one-stop-shop of what, when, and where you can expect the next (or first) chapter of the best DC-inspired shows to unfold on TV or on various digital platforms. All the release dates of these series are subject to change so be sure to check us out on our Instagram page for any updates. The link is given below! With gritty shows like Titans, obscure-but-refreshing series like Doom Patrol, and impactful limited dramas like Watchmen, DC has become a powerhouse for bringing comic book characters to TV. Despite Marvel has had success with several shows, DC TV (via the Arrowverse primarily) has still been ruling the game for almost a full decade. However, as the brand is getting closer to celebrating its decade-long run, Warner Bros. is entering a new phase for how to make DC TV shows across their platforms. There's already a long list of DC TV shows currently on the air, and that list will only get bigger in the near future. Several more shows set in the world of DC Comics are on their way from The CW as well as streaming services HBO Max and DC Universe. Soon, DC Comics will have most of its biggest characters represented on the small screen at once. The biggest corner of DC TV is of course the Arrowverse on The CW, which consists of Arrow, The Flash, Legends of Tomorrow, Supergirl, and Batwoman. Together, the five interconnected shows are packed with popular and obscure heroes and villains from the DC Universe - but those aren't the only DC shows from that network, of course. The series that started it all, Arrow, is over after the conclusion of its 10-episode eighth season, but that doesn't mean the Arrowverse is going to start shrinking. The CW still has more in the pipeline. DC Universe's live-action universe kicked off with Titans and grew to include Doom Patrol and the Swamp Thing series. DC Universe does have other projects still in the works, as does HBO Max. Here are all the upcoming TV shows based on characters from DC Comics across all major platforms, along with their release dates.
Pennyworth, Season 2: Epix in December 2020
Not long after Gotham, the Fox hit following the rise of the city’s greatest supervillains during Bruce Wayne’s childhood, went off the air, fans craving even more Batman prequel series were treated with this show following Alfred Pennyworth (Jack Bannon) as 1960s special forces soldier years before working as the Waynes’ live-in servant. The critically acclaimed, thrilling period drama, Pennyworth has been renewed for a second season of Epix.
Batwoman, Season 2: The CW on 17th January 2021
The biggest changes to the Arrowverse will be seen on Batwoman, whose lead actress, Ruby Rose, chose to leave the series after just one year playing LGBTQ+ comic book icon Kate Kane. The decision came after surgery for an on-set injury caused the already demanding role to become especially challenging for the former Orange Is the New Black star. The second season, airing on The CW in January 2021, will introduce Javicia Leslie as the titular vigilante, becoming the first black actress to play the role.
Black Lightning, Season 4: The CW on February 8, 2021.
Speaking of lightning, the Arrowverse debuted its first series led by a black superhero in 2017, following the adventures of a school principal with a plethora of bio-electric abilities, and its most “electrifying” season yet is on its way. Black Lightning, starring Cress Williams as the aging titular superhero who comes out of retirement per his daughter’s inspiration, will see its Season 4 debut on The CW in February 2021.
The Flash, Season 7: The CW on February 23, 2021.
The first spin-off and second building block of the Arrowverse’s construction, in which a young forensic scientist working for the Central City Police Department gains the power of super speed after a fateful lightning strike, was renewed for a seventh season in early 2020. Grant Gustin is set to return in the title role of The Flash, which has been the highest-rated series on The CW since its 2014 debut, to reveal the answers to fans’ most pressing questions in February 2021.
Superman & Lois, Season 1: The CW February 23, 2021
The series premiere of Superman & Lois hits The CW in February 2021. Hoechlin's Superman first appeared in Supergirl season 2, and Lois Lane was introduced to the Arrowverse in last year's Elseworlds crossover. The show will see DC Comics' most popular power couple navigate through their new lives as working parents. Superman & Lois will be the first live-action series about Clark Kent since Smallville.
Supergirl, Season 6: The CW, spring of 2021
Originally debuting on CBS before it joined her Arrowverse family at their home on The CW, Melissa Benoist’s run as the tough as nails Kara Danvers (Clark Kent’s cousin) has been a success of Kryptonian proportions. There is no confirmation for when Supergirl, and Benoist’s improved costume from Season 5, will return for its sixth season, but it is expected to premiere sometime in spring of 2021.
Titans, Season 3: HBO Max, spring of 2021
After a stunning first two seasons of intense thrills and stunning twists on the digital platform DC Universe, Titans will have the more recently launched HBO Max to call home for its third season. Despite facing a long delay in production, the series, following a group of younger vigilantes has been renewed, but without a set premiere date at the moment. The team of teenaged superheroes includes Batman’s former partner Robin (now Nightwing), the shape-changing Beast Boy, the mystical Raven, and the energy powered Starfire. The team battled a number of enemies in its first season. They were joined by other supporting characters from the comics, including Hawk and Dove, Wonder Girl/Donna Troy, and even Bruce Wayne himself in the second season. If you want to know more about this series, do not forget to check out our video on what’s hot and what’s not with DC’s Titans.
Legends Of Tomorrow, Season 6: The CW in summer of 2021
The Arrowverse installment with the most versatility (on account of its dizzying rotation of different locations and time settings) would have to be Legends of Tomorrow. The diverse group of ragtag heroes will continue to embark on more adventures traveling through time to save reality itself from its worst moments in the summer of 2021 for its sixth season on The CW.
Stargirl, Season 2: The CW, summer of 2021
Making its debut on The CW in the summer of 2020 was Stargirl, which was also a historical moment for introducing the much-overlooked Justice Society of America (not to be confused with the Justice League, which was actually created later) into the Arrowverse continuity. Stargirl is a series about the teenage superhero of the same name in DC Comics. Courtney Whitmore is a high school student who discovers that her step-father was a sidekick to an actual superhero. After going through his belongings, she finds the Cosmic Staff, a powerful weapon that imbues her with powers. The endearing smash hit, starring Brec Bassinger as the young, but extremely powerful, title heroine, will return for its sophomore outing in the fall of 2021.
Peacemaker: HBO Max, August 6, 2021
Peacemaker is another upcoming DC Comics show arriving on HBO Max, based on an upcoming Warner Bros. film. That film is The Suicide Squad, which will feature, among many other folks, John Cena playing the role of Peacemaker. While the movie won’t be out until August 2021, the early behind-the-scenes reaction to this violent superhero was so good, HBO Max commissioned a series centering just on Peacemaker. James Gunn, who wrote and directed The Suicide Squad, will write all of the episodes of Peacemaker, and will also direct the pilot episode. The latest DC TV show HBO Max announced to be in the works came as a surprise. Gunn has also confirmed that other characters from the film will appear on the show. What Gunn won't confirm is whether this means Peacemaker will survive The Suicide Squad. 11.Zack Snyder’s Justice League: HBO Max on 5 September 2021 This is one of the most anticipated HBO Max original series of all. Co-writer and director Zack Snyder had to leave the production of the live-action Justice League film before it was completed due to a family tragedy. Reshoots and rewrites of the movie were done without his supervision. As a result, the 2017 film released to theaters was not what Snyder had envisioned. After a huge amount of pressure from fans, Warner Bros decided to give Snyder another chance to create his version of the film. The result will be called Zack Snyder’s Justice League (also known as The Snyder Cut). Lots of stuff that was filmed for the original movie, but was later cut, will be put back in for this version. New visual effects will be added, and even some new live-action scenes will be filmed. This won’t be just a re-edited movie. Zack Snyder’s Justice League will first be shown as four one-hour episodes on HBO Max, before being recut into a massive four-hour film. 12.Young Justice, Season 4: HBO Max, late 2021 Making the transition from its DC Universe home to HBO Max is another series following the adventures of a group of powerful young heroes, but this one is animated. After a long hiatus following its cancellation in 2013, the beloved Young Justice will come back for a fourth season and promises storylines of a more mature nature for the fans who have aged during the series’ absence. While the first two seasons of this youth-based superteam were first shown on Cartoon Network, the third season debuted on DC Universe in 2019. Now, the fourth season has been greenlighted and it will make its debut as an HBO Max exclusive in 2021.
Green Lantern: HBO Max, late 2021
If you can forget that awful 2011 live-action Green Lantern movie, you might want to get excited about this upcoming DC Comics show on HBO Max. Green Lantern is the “space cop” of the DC Universe. He protects the Earth, and the universe, from cosmic threats. He does this with his green-charged Power Ring, which can create almost any shape or object he desires. Not much is known about the show, other than the fact that Berlanti, the architect of the Arrowverse, says it will be "our biggest DC show ever made". Since numerous heroes have held the mantle of Green Lantern in the comics, it's unclear which character will be the show's protagonist or if it'll focus on the Green Lantern Corps as a whole. Stargirl showrunner and longtime DC creator Geoff Johns is also working on the 1-hour drama. Currently being referred to as “a Green Lantern inspired series,” the show will span several decades and feature Sinestro as one of the confirmed characters. Additionally, it will explore two specific stories about the Emerald Knights on Earth. With HBO Max aiming the show to debut in 2021, more news will likely emerge throughout the rest of next year.
Doom Patrol, Season 3: HBO Max, late 2021
After debuting its first season on DC Universe, and it’s second on both DC Universe and HBO Max, Doom Patrol will return for its third outing in 2021 as an HBO Max exclusive. Centered on the DC superhero team, the series is based largely on the comics run written by Grant Morrison. This team of misfits with superpowers includes Robotman, who has a human brain inside a metal body. There’s also Crazy Jane, who has 64 personalities, each with its own superpower. You can go ahead and watch the first two seasons now on HBO Max. It’s great stuff!
Harley Quinn, Season 3: HBO Max, late 2021
One of the best DC Comics shows on HBO Max is an animated series. Harley Quinn is a very R-rated show, featuring the Joker’s popular sidekick. Kaley Cuoco voices the titular anti-hero, as she works alongside her best friend Poison Ivy to fulfill her dream of becoming a member of the Legion of Doom. The series will encompass multiple characters from Batman's rogues' gallery, and even the Caped Crusader himself, voiced by Diedrich Bader. It should be noted that the cartoon is packed with violence and explicit language, so this is not a show for children. After debuting on DC Universe, you can now watch the first two seasons on HBO Max. The third season will make its way onto the service in 2021.
Justice League Dark: HBO Max, Late 2021
J.J. Abrams and his Bad Robot team are in charge of developing this show for HBO Max. It’s based on the Justice League spin-off comic, featuring a team that battles more supernatural foes. In the comics, the team has included characters like John Constantine, Deadman, Zatanna, Swamp Thing, and even Wonder Woman. There’s no word on which of these characters might appear on the show. Aside from a planned 2021 premiere date, details are being kept under wrap - including who will be part of the line-up for the HBO Max original. However, similarly to Green Lantern, Justice League Dark will have a movie quality to it as HBO Max content chief Kevin Reilly has confirmed the big production commitment they’re making to these shows. Other than Abrams developing it, no showrunner or writers have been announced. Once more details are officially revealed about the show, it might also give a better picture of what Abrams has in mind for a Justice League Dark universe including shows and films.
Strange Adventures: HBO Max, 2021
This series is yet another one that’s produced by Greg Berlanti. Taking its name from one of DC Comics’ classic Silver Age titles, Strange Adventures will be an anthology series featuring a wide range of DC Comics characters. HBO Max will become the home of Strange Adventures. Strange Adventures was a science fiction comic book series that was first released in the 1950s. The comic included stories about heroes like Adam Strange, Animal Man, Atomic Knights, Deadman, Darwin Jones, and Captain Comet. According to creator Greg Berlanti, HBO Max's take on Strange Adventures will cover "cautionary tales from a world where superpowers exist". The series will be comprised of single-episode stories about characters who live in the DC Universe. Adam Strange is said to be involved in some way, but he won't be the Krypton version of the character.
Aquaman: King of Atlantis: HBO Max, Early 2022
Not only is James Wan, who directed the 2018 live-action movie adaptation of Aquaman, working on the sequel and developing a Trench spinoff film, but the Australian filmmaker is also executive producing a 3-part animated series for HBO Max titled Aquaman: King of Atlantis. This show will be a three-part animated series that focuses on the undersea superhero. Aimed at kids, the series will focus on Aquaman’s first days on the job as king of the underwater kingdom of Atlantis. Each episode will have a unique storyline that features Arthur Curry as Atlantis’ greatest protector. The premiere episode will follow Arthur’s first outing as Aquaman with the help of Mera and Vulko. Ocean Master is confirmed to appear in the series as well as “unscrupulous surface dwellers” and “elder evils from beyond time.” No cast has been announced so far but Michael Clear, Rob Hackett, and Sam Register are the showrunners. HBO Max currently has Aquaman: King of Atlantis set to premiere in 2022.
The Batman Spinoff Series: HBO Max, March 4, 2022
With Matt Reeves’ upcoming The Batman being set outside the DCEU, the filmmaker is expanding his universe to HBO Max. Reeves is developing a spinoff series that will follow the Gotham City Police Department. Set during the first year of The Batman’s appearances in Gotham City, it will focus on its police department, as its officers have to deal with the masked vigilante, among other things. HBO Max has given a series commitment to the Gotham-based drama, which will continue one of the plots The Batman is introducing when it comes out next fall. The story follows the “anatomy of corruption” in Gotham City that Warner Bros. is now telling across multiple platforms, with HBO Max being one of them. This marks the first time the studio has ever done a spinoff from any of their DC movies as a TV series. Similar to Gotham, the show will be set before the events of The Batman. It's likely that HBO Max is targeting a 2022 release date for the spinoff show, a few months after The Batman has hit theatres. That’s our look at the current list of upcoming DC Comics shows on various platforms. What do you think?
