The CW has released episode descriptions for their DC TV shows, and in them we learn more about the return of Gorilla Grodd, the debut of Mr. Mxyzptlk, and a whole host of other big reveals and returns...
The CW has released episode descriptions for their DC TV shows airing the week beginning February 20th, and it's clearly going to be a HUGE week for these characters. For starters, Mr. Mxyzptlk will invade National City as he declares his love for Supergirl in what sounds like a fun Valentine's Day episode. The character was first spotted in set photos, but we'll hopefully see something official soon.
Over in The Flash, Gorilla Grodd finally returns as the Scarlet Speedster races into action to rescue Earth-2's Harrison Wells. That sounds awesome, though it sounds like Barry will actually be working with Grodd! Meanwhile, Arrow will beat Gotham City Sirens to it by assembling a team of female villains made up of familiar faces from the show's past. Which of these excites you guys the most?
