I liked the varying things triggering the joker getting more and more classic joker as it went on, almost following his entire trajectory as a person before and after becoming My J. First just casually cracking a joke at a appropriate time, then finding something funny that wasn't as funny as he seemed to think it was, then the Dark Night Pencil Trick when backed into a corner, then finally electroshock courtesy of the Batwing. From Civilian, to slightly off civillian, to violent criminal, to mental hospital patient.

With her doctor parents she's probably going to be the next Doctor Mid-Night also promotional material have already spoiled it. It'll be interesting to see how they do Hourman considering how he gets his powers by doing drugs.

I'm honestly sort of charmed by Courtney's bowling ball approach to forming a new JSA, and the sequence of her and Yolanda bopping around trying out superhero powers was a delight. Mike can still take a long walk off a short pier however.

I like how Stargirl isn’t afraid to portray its protagonists as genuinely dumb. Like, not naive or sheltered, but just plain bone stupid. It’s refreshing. Courtney’s going to feel right at home with the cast of Legends of Tomorrow during the inevitable crossover.

Courtney’s going to feel right at home with the cast of Legends of Tomorrow during the inevitable crossover. Yeah, I totally agree here. "It's a sneaking mission. Let's do it under the cover of darkness. I have a great idea for a distraction. I will cause a blackout!" For those not watching: Said mission is set in a hospital. "Wikipedia says that you should be able to jump safely from any height. Let's test it out on top of this 5 story building." "Well your ex-boyfriend seems to suck, but I thrashed his car, this makes us friends." Courtney is kind of an endearing idiot, honestly. I am kinda confused, why it is so contested between her and Pat if Starman was her father. Presumably, they both saw his face at some point. "Well Pat, how did Starman look under that mask, because my dad looked just like the guy from that old comedy series at some college. He was weirdly proud of that." cant cook creole bream fucked around with this message at 09:16 on Jun 10, 2020 |

Kinda want a scene post-Joker in Harley Quinn where the Joker's stepdaughter is hanging out with a friend discussing the recent resurgence: "My step-dad just turned out to be a psychotic murderous clown for 30 years of his life." "Yeah, I know how you feel, my Stepdad's Jerry Seinfeld." "God you win, at least my stepdad is actually funny."

Also, most heroes of superhero media tend to look vaguely similar to Joel McHale, anyways. Take sufficiently weathered pictures of Stephen Amel, Chris Pine, and Chris Hemsworth and I bet you’d be hard pressed to say which is which.

And I think Pat's right, she's just fixated on the idea and doesn't believe him, so he's not pushing it too hard because it's not that important right now. Just show Mom the picture saying Pat was a fan of the JS before they disappeared.

Idk if there's been a person that's had that extreme of a balance yet. I think most, if not all of the major DCCW heroes have some level of practical heroing competence or academic competence when they started out, but Courtney basically had neither.

Has that black cat shown up before this episode? I know it was supposed to be there to lead Pat to his discovery, but I have a suspicion, especially after seeing that black top hat in the car.

howe_sam posted:Jen Pierce on Black Lightning comes pretty close. And if they had made Supergirl more of a teen show I definitely could see Kara being as bullheaded as Courtney (even now Kara has a tendency to prefer direct approach solutions to problems). Jen had a decent amount of street smarts compared to Courtney at least (and there's a big 'ol discussion about how that makes much more sense for a POC than for a white person there). But yeah, Kara had that sort of direct tendency that she was allowed to have since her enemies were rarely covert and she had the superpowers to back her up, She also had Superman's example to follow though when she started.

Courtney’s going to feel right at home with the cast of Legends of Tomorrow during the inevitable crossover. They’re 15 year olds. Try to remember any interaction you had at that age or any actions you made. You could be the smartest teenager in the world, but you’d still be a teenager and your mind would just work a particular way.

So the 100-page 80th Anniversary Joker Spectacular has one good story in it: Joker kills Batman, and is about to Smilex bomb the funeral during the eulogy, and has a moment of clarity about how he killed "the only person who ever 'got' him." He wonders about who else he'd arch, but finally comes to the conclusion that there's only one place where he could get off on tormenting others... ...he becomes a clerk at the Gotham Department of Motor Vehicles. I SO want to see that happen now in HQ.

The Dini one was okay, if only because it was also a Harley and Ivy story and casual outfits that'd probably look great on the show (though since it was Dini writing, this Harley is basically the pre-New52 version where she never got dunked).
