Always remember that the former President was dumber than the dumbest person you've ever met by a wide margin

Considering how many actors and characters have been confirmed to show up, am I too far out there to hope Mark Hamill gets to do something in the Crisis?

Just let him be some version of the Joker or Trickster again, that's all I need.

Probably won't be more than a quick cameo because of his schedule with the new Star Wars stuff, but then again a lot of these characters will probably be relegated to cameos because of the sheer amount involved.

He did already do a brief 30 second cameo during the modern Star Wars era already tho, and he seems to really love playing those characters, so I think it would be a safe bet that he shows up at some point.

My understanding is that his Superman is inspired by Kingdom Come; but whether it's Superman Returns Superman in the future or another one is unclear.

The producer confirmed he is playing the same superman from Returns. So we get a continuation of the Reeve's superman in the crisis too.

So I guess it is now confirmed that Reeve's superman eventually turns into the Kingdom Come superman.

Yeah, this week is repeats do get all the shows' episode numbers to line up properly heading in to Crisis aside from Arrow and Legends, for obvious reasons. Next week's Supergirl is gonna deal with Lena and get her plot out of the way before Crisis and next week's Batwoman is going to probably square away Alice and her bullshit too. I'd be willing to wager both episodes end with a last-second scene of Lyla showing up in front of Kara and Kate and going "It's Crisis time, bitches!"

I want that to happen verbatim. Especially wearing the Harbinger suit.

There either needed to be half as many episodes or 30 min episodes. I like 30 min idea better because they keep doing "Villain escapes by throwing a smoke bomb" type stuff when the good guys are a master survivalist who should be good at tracking people with a super hacker giving him directions over an ear piece, a guy so fast time almost stops when he moves, and literal time travelers.

Out of those 3 its only cute/funny when the time travelers gently caress up cause they're the smartest idiots and dumbest geniuses in the world.

He's an amazing person. I finally got to meet him last year and after I sang his praises for a few minutes he asked me some questions about my life, thanked me for the kind words and hugged me. I really wish I'd sprung for the photo op, it was such a good experience.

I will never miss an excuse to post this, but he did such an incredible job with Clark in Superman returns that it has always annoyed me they couldn't keep him on for another movie.

Just look at that dopey motherfucker.

Some quick googling shows that there's the Defenders of course, but that was only 4 shows. Ummm, back when there were three separate CSI shows they all had an event of sorts? There've been a lot of times where networks try to crossover various awful sitcoms but those are more cameos than crossovers...

The Chicago shows and Law and Order SVU have crossovers frequently, but never more than three at a time. Could theoretically get to five someday though.

I hadn't thought of it those terms but yeah, remembering that a comic Crisis would take like a minimum of 6 months makes it way easier to digest the wait on this.

I remember reading that Routh started getting pretty jacked after Returns until DC decided to go another direction. I'm glad to see how well he's kept that up and dude looks completely badass in that suit.

I still love Returns, even with all it's heavy faults. Routh getting another stab at Supes makes me far too happy.

I just saw Returns is on Netflix so I might sneak a rewatch in when I finally finish catching up on Black Lightning. Its way more practical than trying to squeeze Constantine or Birds of Prey or 90s Flash in.

I didn't like Returns when I saw it in the theaters but that was 13 years ago so who the hell knows how I feel now?
