Speaking of Psycho, I'm a bit disappointed he and WW didn't have an exchange. Or maybe it's for the better since he probably still hates

bring back old gbs posted:It got cancelled mid filming for whatever reason, but they sort of wrapped up the story and released the 10 episodes Specifically they cut production at episode 10 and then like the day after episode 1 went up they announced it was canceled. Also I'm assuming that the thing Ivy was trying to say to Harley was that a harpoon through the chest can't actually kill her.

It's gonna be like Groot but she grows up way faster so there's basically an episode where Harley has to deal with raising a baby/toddler/kid/teen until Ivy's back to her 20something self.

itry posted:Cancel all the other DC shows and use the budget to make more of this. Or in the style/spirit of. In a sense, it reminds me of a more adult Brave and the Bold in how it lampoons a lot of comic book stuff while also reveling in it. Also Deidrich Bader is Batman in both. Unfortunately, there's no way to head canon one into the other because idk how you can tie the magnanimous king of the seas Aquaman to Broseidon, carer of the fishes Aquaman.

Xander77 posted:Why is the onus on him to go put on a rubber suit and beat mental patients instead of (say) funding a better trained and equipped police force? One is a choice, one is an obligation. He chooses to cross one line and go out as Batman specifically to do one thing, and to have another line he doesn't want to cross for whatever reason. After which it's up to the government what happens. People shouldn't even be happy with him crossing that first line, but they generally are because the government is so ineffective at dealing with supervillians in an all out fight. They shouldn't be happy to hand over jurisdiction on the second too, since that would essentially make Batman Judge Dredd and he would have discretion on not just who to go after, but how to punish them afterwards. Simply because they don't want to deal with executing villains themselves. Yea, Batman probably doesn't want to kill the Joker at least partially because people would be scared of him if he did. Why wouldn't they be though? Since he'd have shown he's willing to execute criminals if they don't behave the way he wants. He might only ever intend it to be the Joker, but the regular citizens don't know that and the media certainly won't care, since scare-mongering stories about Batman would sell like crazy and that's going to be more important to enough people that the populace will start to lose faith in Batman as a necessary evil who helps people and see him instead as a rogue element they can't entirely trust. Even with the best will in the world on his part, he'd still probably have GCPD set upon him because he can't be trusted after a couple of papers paint him as a killer who's going to come for your baby if he's not stopped. Dealing with the police at every turn rather than having them look the other way would hamper any effort to actually fight crime. itry posted:Cancel all the other DC shows and use the budget to make more of this. Or The Spirit. I'd love a good The Spirit adaptation in this style, though the adult humor is probably a bit too explicit for something like The Spirit. At least, in the classic sense. tsob fucked around with this message at 17:44 on Feb 17, 2020 |

No, the whole point is that criminals are scared of him, not regular citizens. He wants them to trust him, while the people who break the law fear him. If law-abiding citizens feared him, then he'd have so much heat he wouldn't be able to concentrate on loving up supervillains and the mob.

Why would you trust a shady strongman in a mask who rudely vanishes in the middle of a conversation?

Because he literally never harms anyone who hasn't broken the law, and never kills anyone. He has a line, and that means you know you can trust him to at least a theoretical point.

So between watching "Birds of Prey" and the "Harley Quinn" show, it seems Harley's new status quo in DC is to explore her break up with the Joker, which made me wonder after the film if/when she'll be allowed to stand on her own two feet as a character and have stories that are just Harley doing her own thing (whatever that ends up being) and not just not as an extension of the Joker; even if only indirectly. I'm pretty sure there's been some recent(ish) comics about it too, though I haven't been keeping up with the comics in a long time, and that Harley is being played off against Punchline, Joker's newest girlfriend, to some degree in comics too, based on some covers I've seen floating around. I wonder if the cartoon will be allowed to move past it after the first/second season, given they're both planned out as one narrative and she'll presumably be over Joker after the latest episode and have gotten whatever revenge or whatever that she wants on him by season two at the latest if it's all planned out.

More to the point, a lot of the DCAU shows explicitly shared continuity for a long time. Batman Superman JLU Batman Beyond Static Shock?! I think Teen Titans was the first one to break away from the shared universe.

There's been more than a dozen DC toons that dont tie in over the last 15 years. And like 15 animated films. It's not all going to be connected.

Well, it is an interesting plot to explore, dealing with a character originally introduced as a sidekick whose entire personality is just an extension of her master, and then have her trying to find independence and her own identity. It has an obvious “real life” counterpart in people struggling with getting away from an abusive relationship where their identity is erased and their circle of friends/connections is reduced to only their manipulative abuser that they grow dependent on. I think this show manages to deal with this really serious subject in a good and respectful way for a comedy show, and everyone who knows someone who has gotten away from a relationship with a psychopath will recognize the way Quinn still gravitates towards Joker and spins the stories around to even delude herself into believing her abusive ex really loved her.
