My review for "Escape"
This episode was really amazing. It showed us Harley's back story and It really made me love Selina. I really loved how well Selina and Chloe worked together. I also see how you made a little mention of "The Man of Tomorrow" by having Oliver wear glasses. I was very shocked at the death of Guido at the hands of our Jaded jester and the ending left us open for of course, The season finale. This is my favorite episode so far and this high up there with "Chill". I cannot wait for "Anarchy", which I'm sure will be even better.
Now I'd like to ask some questions:
Will Joker and Harley Quinn still be around for season 3?
if Chloe and Oliver have a daughter, then what of their son which we saw in the Smallville season finale?
and now some suggestions (for season 3)
Lady Shiva
I can't wait for the season finale and I know that it will be awesome.

In response to cyclopscars' review of "Escape"
Thank you for the review! I wouldn't have imagined this would have been so high up on someone's list, but I'm glad you enjoyed it so much- it means a lot. The whole idea of this episode stemmed from my love of writing Chloe and Selina back-and-forth banter that sort of faded away once Selina moved away from the paper, and considering they were in similar situations, it made sense for them to reunite for this penultimate.
As for Harley Quinn- it was fun to peel her back a little. I don't think it was made completely obvious, but the back-story was there- we did learn that she had a child once, whether it ever escaped the womb (what a weird way of saying that, jack) or not, she had a child. She was also this impressionable young woman who was manipulated into the Joker's ways, which I've always loved about her origin- that's something I didn't create as much as mimic because sometimes messing with the original can be baaaaad. And I love that story.
I really wanted to throw in that line from Oliver, about Superman. I used to visit this Smallville forum quite frequently when the show was still airing, and people were always like "how are people not going to know that Clark Kent is Superman when he's been showing his face everywhere, around the Daily Planet especially, without glasses." And then, he decided in the fourteenth episode of the final season to wear glasses to hide his face, and suddenly, he was unrecognizable, which is kind of hilarious. So I thought that would be a nice nod to that.
Guido's death was kind of hard- in my notes it was going to be very "blink and you'll miss it", in that one second he's standing there fine, and the next he's dead. But man, I just loved writing his character and it was too hard not to have a nice moment between him and Helena, and a short little montage of clips that sort of paid tribute to him. He never was in the spotlight as much as these other characters, but it made all his scenes that much more fun to write- whenever he did take the limelight, or have a hero moment, it was more special to me.
Onto the questions...
Will The Joker and Harley Quinn still be around for Season Three?
They have a large role in the mythology of the comics and Batman's history, but I think this particular season is the most we'll see of them- they served as the big bad wolves, and so there's a pretty definitive end to their story in the finale. But of course, there's always the chance they'll pop back up, not necessarily next season, but somewhere down the road, for sure.
If Chloe and Oliver have a daughter, then what happened to their son which we saw in the Smallville series finale?
There was this whole episode that dealt with that- but that is a good question. Basically, we learned that the future we saw at the end of the Smallville series finale, in terms of Chloe's character, didn't include "Gotham City" as part of her history. So when she switched gears and changed courses, it affected that future we saw (that she obviously didn't know about). So everything altered- and the gender of the baby kind of solidified that as saying "well, its not all written in stone for you now." The primary reason for doing this is that... I'm having a lot of fun with this series, and I want to make my own ending up for it, and Chloe, when the time comes, and don't want this predetermined endpoint in place when I have stories that could shift that. So yeah- basically by returning to Watchtower, and settling down in Gotham, Chloe has tarnished the future that was waiting for her after Smallville.
What about Lady Shiva for Season Three?
You know, I have to be honest, I looked into that character for Season Two, and it didn't happen. Season Three... its possible. Can't make any promises though. XD
Thank you again for the awesome review. I appreciate it!

I'm glad you like my reveiw and thanks for answering my questions. Also, You've said that another villain will induced next episode. Since I know you cant spoil it for me, I'll just tell you my guesses:
1. The Penguin 2. Anarchy (It's the name of the episode after all) 3. Riddler 4. Cluemaster 5. Talia Al Ghul
Also:
If you ever decide to add Renee Montoya and Black Mask these are my casting choices: Dania Ramirez and Jeremy Irons.

So... I totally just got all worked up over writing this one scene in the finale, and wondering how much of a wreck I am going to be by the time I've finished writing the whole thing. -.-
Kinda makes me wanna just write "and they all lived happily ever after. the end. no one died. its all good. end of series. goodbye. yay." Ahahaha.
On the PLUS side, I've found a way to incorporate Dinah into the story. The bad news is, I had the first act start off with her, then had to pull the scene because there was already too much going on with the A and B plot. But, I've kept it in another document, and hoping to place it in this second act, which I'm starting now! *dances* Its a good story for her, so I want her in this episode. It ties into the main story too, eventually, just NEED IT TO FIT. *SCREAMS*

CASTING NEWS: Family and Fear for the Finale! This just in: Linda Hamilton and James Frain have booked a role in the season finale, returning as 'Alexandra', Dinah's mother (last seen in "Rogue"), and DC Comics Villain, 'Scarecrow', who escaped from Arkham Asylum in the penultimate episode, "Escape". "We knew, after introducing Dinah's mother into the show that we wanted to do more with her," series creator, Jack Malone, tells VSGuide, "And we have a pretty exciting story planned that links everything up." So what changed after being uncertain Dinah would be involved in the season's final episode, to being certain she will be a part of it. "A huge issue we were facing was with fitting everything we wanted in- I think we've found a way to do so without things feeling crammed." And what can expect for Alexandra's return? "Its one of the many shockers we've got planned for the fans. I think they'll be surprised with what's in store." Also reprising their role, James Frain returns as Scarecrow. "As we were breaking the finale, we realised there's this huge theme of fear that really speaks volumes throughout the course of the episode- bringing in Scarecrow allows us to enhance that side of the story, and prey on it a little bit more than we could have without him," Malone explains, excited about the returning DC Comics villain. "The penultimate ended with all the inmates of Arkham Asylum being released- all I can say is that our characters have their hands full next season trying to reverse the damage, that's for sure." These two returning guest stars join Lynda Carter, who portrays Chloe's mother, Moira Sullivan, and special guest star, Alessandro Juliani, who plays fan-favourite Emil Hamilton, for the action packed season finale, titled "Anarchy." Are you excited about the casting news? Sound off below!

Here are some new spoilers: - The Joker has one last surprise up his sleeve for the city of Gotham. - A character from the main cast contemplates suicide. - In a previous episode, The Joker said to Helena, "You think I'm going to just kill you? If only it were that simple." In the finale, we'll understand what he meant by that remark. - Emil presents Chloe with an ultimatum. - Perry receives an important gift. - Despite the closing events of the penultimate, Julian McMahon does appear in this episode. - Oliver shares all his scenes with Chloe. - Vicki Vale is back in a much larger role than she had in the penultimate, and shares scenes with Perry, and Selina. - The final showdown takes place in a surprising location.

HAHAHA. Your post has made my day- LMFAO!! The "someone is dying" aspect of the finale is woven throughout and really played out as something surfaces near the beginning of the episode that sort of comes out and says "someone will die." And all of the main characters are venturing down these dark paths that could have death on the horizon for them, so hopefully that creates an "on the edge of your seat" feeling.
I have my first HSC test this friday- I've stupidly been focusing on this Watchtower episode instead, but whatevs. Hahaha. I really would love it if this finale could air next Monday, or the one after. Can't promise anything yet, though.

I am completely losing my mind in anticipation for the finale! "Anarchy" is going to be epic, I just know it! And even though season 2 isn't even complete yet, I cannot wait for season 3. Your plans are awesome, and I just can't wait. The amount of Watchtower S3 art I made over the weekend is just ridiculous. HAHA!

Some of them may be spoiler-y, so we'll have to wait until season 2 is over.
