Hero Report Sneak Peek: Gotham returns from midseason hiatus
This week’s Hero Report is going to be full of plenty of reviews with almost every superhero show returning from hiatus.
Arrowverse fans can look forward to having most of their series back on the air while Gotham viewers will eagerly await the return of Jerome. In this sneak peek we look at what these upcoming episodes tease viewers can expect this week on television.
Legends of Tomorrow – “The Curse of the Earth Totem”
"When Sara (Caity Lotz) decides to take some private time, the Legends pursue a lead on the whereabouts of the long-lost Earth Totem. Without Sara’s knowledge, the Legends find themselves in 1717 to hunt for Blackbeard’s long-lost treasure, but in true Legends fashion things go awry. Meanwhile, Ray (Brandon Routh) feels guilty about something he has done and tries to make amends, which lands him in even bigger trouble. Dominc Purcell, Nick Zano, Maise Richardson-Sellers and Nick Zano also stars."
Based on the clip above, fans are given a sneak peek about quite a few things for tonight’s episode. Looks like Sara might be on her first date with Ava, something that has been building for most of this season and the team will find themselves at sea in “The Curse of the Earth Totem”.
Lucifer – “High School Poppycock”
"When a best-selling novelist is murdered, Lucifer and Chloe discover that her books are based on real people from her past, and must infiltrate her high-school reunion in order to catch her killer. Meanwhile, Amenadiel and Linda struggle with making their relationship public."
While many viewers were hoping Lucifer would be traveling to Chloe’s high school reunion, it doesn’t look like that’s in the cards. Of course, that’s not going to stop the two of them from having to suffer the tortures of high school life even though it’s occupied by adults. Also, fans of the will-they-won’t-they relationship have been promised a big episode by actor Tom Welling, so be sure to watch!
The Flash – “Subject 9”
"Barry (Grant Gustin) meets a powerful woman whose abilities could help him in his battle with DeVoe (guest star Sugar Lyn Beard). Meanwhile, after learning that DeVoe is targeting everyone who was on the bus, Ralph (Hartley Sawyer) decides he doesn’t want to be a hero anymore, his only concern is staying alive. Harry (Tom Cavanagh) offers to help Joe (Jesse L. Martin)."
At first glance, it looks like Ralph’s new love for country music could make this mysterious meta end up being his future wife, Sue. However, comic book fans will recognize this violin playing character as either a gender-swapped version of “The Fiddler” or the more current version, a woman named “Virtuoso”. Unfortunately, her abilities include hypnosis, which could make it extremely difficult for Team Flash to win in a fight against this newest metahuman.
Black Lightning – “Three Sevens: The Book of Thunder”
"TO RIGHT THE WRONGS – Jefferson (Cress Williams) is on the hunt for his father’s killer, while Anissa (Nafessa Williams) uses her new powers to rectify a wrong after a protest fails. Jennifer (China Anne McClain) grapples with some difficult choices."
Revealed in the sneak peek above, it turns out that Tobias is the man responsible for murdering Jefferson’s father. Ultimately that explains why he despises the gangster so much and sets Anissa on the same path of vengeance after discovering more information about her grandfather in the last episode. Jennifer is barely seen in the trailer, but some difficult choices might include her boyfriend’s new friendship with the most dangerous criminal in town.
Gotham – “Pieces of a Broken Mirror”
No official synopsis for Gotham‘s spring premiere, but there’s definitely a lot to unpack from the extended trailer. Despite Jerome’s prominence in the sneak peek, actor Cameron Monaghan already confirmed his maniacal character won’t be appearing in this week’s episode. However, Jim Gordon is going to have plenty to deal with, namely Sofia Falcone’s rise to power. Will he be able to stop her from hurting the people he cares about? Based on Ed’s new infatuation with Lee, it looks like the two might be forced to team up to keep her from Sofia’s claws.
Arrow– “Collision Course”
"OTA VS. NTA — Oliver (Stephen Amell), Diggle (David Ramsey) and Felicity (Emily Bett Rickards) disagree with Dinah (Juliana Harkavy), Curtis (Echo Kellum) and Rene (Rick Gonzalez) on how to handle Black Siren (Katie Cassidy). The two teams face off and a fight ensues."
The only good thing coming out of a fight between the original Team Arrow and the newbies is the potential for the latter to finally exit the show. Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem like that’s going to happen so fans will have to continue watching this rivalry drag on. Also, Rene will probably say “This doesn’t change anything, hoss” and have viewers everywhere collectively groan.
Agents of SHIELD– “All The Comforts of Home”
"Coulson and team set out to rewrite the course of humanity’s fate, but they’re unaware that their efforts will dramatically change one S.H.I.E.L.D agent’s life, on “Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.,” FRIDAY, MARCH 2 (9:01-10:01 p.m. EST), on The ABC Television Network, streaming and on demand."
Agents of SHIELD finally takes the team back to Earth, but unfortunately, they are wanted criminals now. Thanks to their time in the future, they have learned that the world is going to end, Daisy is somehow responsible, and Yo-Yo discovered it will ultimately be because of everyone’s unwillingness to allow Coulson to die. Disney Channel star, Dove Cameron, makes her debut in this week’s episode as a mysterious new character named Ruby who has a weird interest in Quake. Eagle-eyed fans may have also noticed Jeff Ward, or Deke on the series is billed as a guest star which means it’s possible he ended up surviving the winter finale.
Next: What we want to see in Jessica Jones season two
The sneak peek at this week’s Hero Report promises a lot of interesting episodes to break down. While Arrow still looks like it’s dragging itself to the finish line, viewers have a lot to be excited about. Marvel fans can get a little more enthusiastic than DC fans because this is SHIELD’s ninety-ninth episode alongside the return of Jessica Jones and Legion in March.
