I've been meaning to check out Gangs of London ever since I decided to see what Gareth Evans had been up to since The Raid 2.

What the Christ, *that's* what he's doing now? I saw a TV promo for GoL and it looked so over the top - in a not good way - that I just assumed it was going to be some Eastenders level bullshit with 10 times the guns. Like Channel 5 trying to do a modern day Peaky Blinders with nobodies or something.

NB - this may be an unfair comparison to Peaky Blinders as I've never watched it because gently caress subjecting myself to Brummie accents if I don't have to.

He directed an action crime thriller produced by Netflix and starring Tom Hardy that is coming out this year and it sounds pretty drat promising.

A goofy thing they've done on the final season of The Flash is introduce Red Death (with Ryan Wilder instead of Bruce) and have her constantly quoting other Bat-media.

It is Marvel so “not expected to be in it” could always mean “not regular characters but then surprisingly shows up at the end of an episode mid season.” Until they confirm recasting of the characters who knows?

Maybe they're keeping him on the west coast and that's why. Although it would be weird for a show with DD, Punisher, and Kingpin (and let's face it, Luke Cage and Jessica Jones) to not be in New York.

In She-Hulk Matt Murdock explicitly says he's going back to New York, he was there to get his new costume and then the guy who made his new costume got kidnapped by She-Hulk's client.

I think one of the few confirmed things we’ve gotten is that they’re filming in NYC and set in Hells Kitchen. But I mean you could certainly handwave Foggy and Karen elsewhere or Matt on his own. It’s a bit city. And I don’t actually remember where they all finished at at the end of S3 but it’s been god knows how many canon years.

I dunno. I still think the approach is “everything is canonish so we can bring it up if we want to but we won’t if we don’t need to”. So again, unless they recast the characters I’ll just be waiting for a surprise guest spot. 18 episodes is a long rear end time.

At the end of season 3 they either were explicitly or implying that Matt, Foggy, and Karen were going to rejoin as 3 partners in a law firm.

The archmage of unexpected stinks.

They cast Michael Gandolfini in an undisclosed role for this, he's a little pudge-face man. Could be the new Foggy. Not what I'd prefer (Ducks flock together, dammit) but certainly not impossible.

This is a new decision, originally there was DC Universe Infinite or whatever, that would have every single piece of DC media, but no one watched that so it got folded into HBOMAX, but then with the shake ups at Time Warner they've started offloading a bunch of DC media to other platforms.

Damien's already tapped for the upcoming Batman movie and WB got a tight leash around who gets to use what in regards to DC TV and movie properties to keep people from getting too excited for anything that could potentially be good.

I thought they got over that poo poo during the Arrowverse era. They made a Flash show and had Superman on Supergirl while still trying to make the Snyderverse a thing.

The Arrowverse seems to more or less be dead. Stargirl isn’t in it and I guess they retconned Superman and Lois so it isn’t either. So it dies when Flash ends.

And I guess with it’s death any power or leverage Berlanti had does too so DC TV returns to the general mess of DC media.

I know that, I just thought it indicated WB/DC was over that kinda poo poo in general. I'm guessing whoever pitched Gotham Knights didn't even ask to have Damian (or Tim Drake, or Jason Todd, or Dick Grayson). They wanted their own unique character as the star

They need to keep the names of the Gotham Academy characters out of their filthy mouths. that Olive Silverlocke name drop.

This does not have potential, lol. At least with "Batman's Son" being the supposed lead character. This probably would've been better as a Riverdale'd up Gotham Academy series and not whatever this is.

Dawgstar posted:

Yeah. It's 100% over. Beth Mid-nite and Yolanda Wildcat show up in the latest issue of Johns's new JSA series though so he'll still get to play with those characters.

The idea that Bruce Wayne would adopt and orphan and not immediately turn him into a "child soldier" is a novel one at least, and does explain why they went with a new character. You could maybe make that work with Dick, but there's so much history of him as Robin that it would be a steep lift.

Unfortunately, I'm not sold on the idea that the kid playing Turner(?) is any good. The eulogy he delivered at Bruce's funeral was...bad imo.

But hey, at least Harvey Dent won't deadname someone.
