So Lackadaisy’s started a crowdfunding campaign for a full season:

It’s already made its funding goal.

There was already a perfect comics adaptation to cinema, it was Zack Snyder's Watchmen.

Snyder's Watchmen changed the ending without changing the rest of the story and created something entirely different (and IMO lesser) while even the television show just goes based off the comic.

People are going to argue about the Squid again but the part that's insane to me is completely changing Rorschach's death scene to be a sad heroic sacrifice and replacing Doctor Manhattan's speech with Nite Owl. That's kind of a big deal!

Yeah, both of those also massively missed the point.

I can only assume the WB execs were involved because they are stupid in exactly the way I associate with them.

I put all the credit on Zack Snyder, because "not understanding the source material" and him go hand in hand.

You need look no further than his constant misunderstanding of what "Hallelujah" is about

Y'know, I've been pretty critical about the way that DC's DTV movies have looked from the get-go, but I have to imagine these are also going to be in the new style that they've been using lately, and the idea of Watchmen looking super clean with chunky lines is making my brain bug out

A goofy thing that Teen Titans Go has been doing in recent years is periodically just making Doom Patrol episodes where Beast Boy goes back home and hangs with them. With this week's episode having them face the Beard Hunter with the end of the episode being a panel from the original comic stating that the Beard Hunter was real.

In this week’s Superman the show takes a bit of a darker turn as Jimmy goes it alone in his investigation after being neglected by Lois and Clark due to their own drama and gets abducted. Meanwhile, Lois takes wild risks like handcuffing herself to Clark and jumping off roofs to prompt him into coming clean, and when he does they argue and Lois calls time out on their romance

Also the first 3 episodes of Harley Quinn Season 4 are out

Feels like a bad plan for your holographic avatars of the handlers of your secret spec ops operation to be visible to people who aren't your operative. Also laughed at the dude called Amanda Waller "Mandy", that gets you put on her list for sure.

Speculation but putting it in spoilers just to be safe, so the general is Lois Lanes dad right? He's a general in the backstories in the comics and quite often ends up in a low level "you can't trust superhumans" antagonist role and she mentioned something about him keeping secrets or something last episode.

I hope they clear the air between Lois and Clark relatively fast, like it's a realistic reaction on both their parts so it's not bad writing or anything but I do like when shows have characters realise quickly that the argument was had for valid reasons but is something they can get past and then both get over it pretty quickly.

Since they seem to be bringing a few villains from outside of Superman’s usual rogue’s gallery for this I wonder if we’ll see some heroes eventually as well

I dunno if this is something that was specifically mentioned in the pre-release or something, but is Lois Korean in this? Her formalware at Ivo Tower kinda pointed in that direction and now General Lane's character design looks like cartoon Ma Dong-seok

This newest episode was probably the one I liked the most so far, but I am kind of disappointed that the hot anime boy ended up being Deathstroke. It'd be one thing if there was already a grizzled cartoon hardass in the show and they were doing a different take for contrast's sake, but there is none, so as a result this just feels like they hit him with a Voltron(2016) ray.

I believe she is, yes. Also, girl’s badass AF for just casually plunging off a building to force Clark to come clean, I think this might be my favorite Lois so far

I mean this is a prequel show so most of the Titans are pre-teens right now. This is Slade before he becomes the Most Divorced Man in the World.

I feel like it should be pointed out that Sasquatch is a west coast monster. I don't know where Metropolis is located in this continuity (sometimes it's in Delaware, sometime it replaces New York) but every depiction of of Metropolis has it at least on the East coast of America.

That's exactly what they would tell the public so that they wouldn't go looking where it actually is! #flamebird

I assume it's going to be Ultra Humanite or something.

Superman & Lois has it at least Kansas adjacent because the characters can drive there on a day trip.

I take that to be because he and everyone is so young. Amanda "Mandy" Waller is below the pay grade of some general and Supes is like 22. I'm guessing Slade is like 26 or some poo poo and having his first super feud be with Supes is what'll gruff him up.

Speaking of, I kind of hope the name "Deathstroke" is never uttered in this series (Slade sounds cooler and more menacing anyway). Honestly that should just become his canon name in the comics too

which is actually completely unrelated to the movie for some reason? Like the comic imagines the Justice League as natives to the setting while in the movie it's a standard crossover.

Feels like it'd just be easier to do an daptation.

There's another DC/Rwby comic before the one running now where they're natives. That's what the movie's based on I think

The JL/RWBY one? Yeah. They make a game, if odd, attempt at trying to portray Bruce as thinking he can't really help on Earth because he's powerless but because he has bat wings on Remnant he could which is... sure, okay, whatever. Also Weiss is into Bruce but who isn't, really.

That's cool! It's a great show and I really enjoy it.

I like how they didn't drag out Lois figuring out Clark's secret, and I thought that they both had good sides to the argument as to why he should have told her and why he didn't.

I think Jimmy has known this entire time and keeps bringing up aliens so Clark feels comfortable coming out to him.

It's why I like this show because Clark/Supes is hella green. He's really bad at hiding it lol.

You can only order so many bagels. :v:

Like to me I was concerned like if there was gonna a whole thing about his face/glasses (which thankfully not) and seeing Lois draw the glasses on his pic gave me a chuckle.
