Gotham: Complete Series

In the American superhero crime drama Gotham, James Gordon is a rising detective in the dangerously corrupt Gotham City, where his late father was the district attorney. Brave, scrupulous and determined to prove himself, Gordon must navigate the in-bred dirty politics of Gotham's justice system as well as the rise of malevolent villains, including Catwoman, The Penguin, The Riddler and The Joker. The series also chronicles the life of a young Bruce Wayne, who becomes an orphan when his billionaire parents Thomas and Martha Wayne are murdered.

Eagle Eye

The "cell phone thriller" is becoming a genre unto itself, and Eagle Eye should be considered a key example of the form. Frankly preposterous but compulsively watchable, this movie puts Shia LaBeouf in a mess of trouble instigated by a mysterious telephone voice. If he doesn't follow orders, dire things will happen--although when he does follow orders, the consequences are pretty dire, anyway. Also being blackmailed is a single mom (Michelle Monaghan) receiving similar phone calls.

Fantastic 4

If you prefer your cataclysms free of terrorist overtones and your superheroes unburdened by Freudian subtext-sometimes a comic book is just a comic book, after all-you could do worse than this flick. Four scientists and their corporate sponsor (guess who's the bad guy) are conducting experiments on a space station when they're hit by an unexpectedly powerful blast of solar radiation, altering their DNA and giving them freakish powers that cleverly reflect their personalities.
