Check out his review of the 19th episode in which Kara must find a way to free her friends when Non (Chris Vance) and Indigo (Laura Vandervoort) use mind control to turn National City's citizens into their own army.

"Myriad" started well enough for a penultimate episode with a very strong lead-in. Kara's fight with Maxima (a total throw away character) was well-choreographed, and the urgency of the situation was injected with immediacy. However, for this episode of Supergirl, I decided to view it with the mind of a detractor, if only for some sport. The aforesaid opening aside, it was a lopsided mess, filled with cliché and contrivances. Maxima lays waste to DEO agents, with the exception of Lucy Lane, of course. Maxwell Lord sends earrings to Cat Grant, who just happens to wear them in time for the Myriad takeover. Supergirl, who has also been raised on Earth the majority of her life, is immune to the effects of Non's plans, but Superman, most conveniently, is possessed. It's been years since the Fortress of Solitude debuted in Superman: The Movie, and yet its design is clung to out of desperation and resistance to creativity. Maxwell Lord had the makings of a good villain, but like Astra, he's been made into a redeemable character, therefore flaccid and uninteresting. Alex Danvers is the biggest Mary Sue since Onii-sama. There's nothing she can't do, she never listens to anyone, and if she wasn't so very necessary to absolutely nothing, she would have remained behind and safe, instead of being used to draw Supergirl into needless combat.

All New Original Movie Includes Exclusive LEGO® Nightwing Figurine!

Fighting crime is a full-time job and Batman NEVER takes a vacation. That is until he finally agrees to let Batgirl and Nightwing take him on a long overdue trip - leaving Gotham City under the watchful eye of the Justice League in LEGO® DC Comics Super Heroes - Justice League: Gotham City Breakout. Produced by Warner Bros. Animation, DC Entertainment and the LEGO® Group, the film will be distributed by Warner Bros. Home Entertainment on on July 12, 2016 on Blu-rayTM Combo Pack, DVD and Digital HD. The Blu-rayTM and DVD releases will include an exclusive Nightwing LEGO® figurine, while supplies last.

LEGO® DC Comics Super Heroes - Justice League: Gotham City Breakout will be available on Blu-rayTM Combo Pack for $24.98 SRP and DVD for $19.98 SRP. The Blu-rayTM Combo Pack includes a digital version of the movie on Digital HD with UltraViolet. Fans can also own LEGO® DC Comics Super Heroes - Justice League: Gotham City Breakout on Digital HD on June 21, 2016 via purchase from digital retailers.

When Batgirl and Nightwing take Batman on a trip down memory lane - literally - to visit one of the key mentors from his formative years, it's up to the Justice League to keep Gotham City crime-free. But neither situation proves to be a "vacation" as the Bat trio encounters old nemeses on their adventure, and the Justice League discovers just how busy Batman is on a regular basis. It's a brick-tastic battle on two fronts as Batman, Batgirl and Nightwing take on Bane and Deathstroke, while the Justice League - with some help from a few Teen Titans - fends off an assault by many of Batman's infamous adversaries to ensure Gotham City's safety.

Modern Family star Sarah Hyland joins the cast of LEGO® DC Comics Super Heroes - Justice League: Gotham City Breakout as the voice of Batgirl alongside some of the top actors in the industry voicing a quartet of Justice League super heroes: Troy Baker (Batman), Nolan North (Superman), Grey Griffin (Wonder Woman) and Khary Payton (Cyborg). Eric Bauza (Bane), John DiMaggio (Deathstroke), Tom Kenny (Penguin), Jason Spisak (Joker), Tara Strong (Harley Quinn) and Vanessa Marshall (Poison Ivy) comprise the rogues' gallery of villains that Batman and the Justice League must confront. The Teen Titans also join the fray, vocally represented by Will Friedle (Nightwing), Greg Cipes (Beast Boy), Scott Menville (Robin) and Hynden Walch (Starfire). Amy Hill adds to the fun as the voice of Madame Mantis.

LEGO® DC Comics Super Heroes - Justice League: Gotham City Breakout is directed by Matt Peters and Mel Zwyer from a script by Jim Krieg. Sam Register, Jill Wilfert and Jason Cosler are executive producers. Benjamin Melniker & Michael Uslan are co-executive producers, and Brandon Vietti is supervising producer.

"Warner Bros. Home Entertainment is thrilled to team up with LEGO® once again to release LEGO® DC Comics Super Heroes - Justice League: Gotham City Breakout on Blu-rayTM and DVD," said Mary Ellen Thomas, WBHE Vice President, Family & Animation Marketing. "Longtime fans of both LEGO® and DC Comics will be delighted by the humorous action as Batman and the Justice League wage their separate battles against everyone's favorite villains."

How would you describe the visual approach you took with this movie?

We go pretty dark for Batman v Superman - not for everything but when it helps the story. Some of the greatest superheroes ever are at war, and much of the movie takes place at night, so there's no way we were going to go bright and cheery. Despite its comic book origins, we took the project seriously and treated it as such. Dark themes dictate dark visuals.

How would you describe your lighting style for this film, especially for interiors, and was there special consideration for the Batman and Superman costumes?

I embraced hard light a bit more than usual to help convey the harshness and rawness of Gotham at night. There was constant communication in preproduction with the production designer Patrick Tatopoulos, as well as with costume designer Michael Wilkinson, to determine the color palette of the film. We also shot many, many tests of the costumes, and they were refined quite a bit until we were all happy.

Did you take visually separate visual approaches to their alter egos?

Bruce Wayne/Batman was the more dramatic of the dualities. Wayne's distinguished public identity contrasted heavily with his after-dark, vengeful alter ego.
