Here we go.

HBO Max announced that it has given a "series commitment" to a show about the Gotham Police Department, from The Batman filmmaker Matt Reeves, and Boardwalk Empire creator Terence Winter.

Said that it will "launch a shared universe across multiple platforms"

Dunno. Feel like of theyre going to put time and money into a DC show, they have so many options. Lots of concepts I would choose before a show about Gotham PD.

Swamp Thing
Deadman
The Terrifics
Static Shock
Lobo
Teen Titans
JSA
Hawkman/Hawkgirl
Suicide Squad
Nightwing
Super Sons

I think I read Adam Strange is getting an HBO show too....only two issues into his miniseries from Tom King but so far, so good...really enjoy Tom King as a writer.

Hourman currently on the Stargirl show, but.... I always wanted to make a gritty/dark version of Hourman.... yeah, I know gritty/dark from DC movies is kind of a cliche, but....

Just think a movie/show about some dude..... who just wants to leave his mark on the world and help people.... but then ends up getting addicted to the drug he created, and the adrenaline of being a hero, and increasingly gets more desperate as his body becomes acclimated and he constantly tweaks his formula, ignoring his own wife and son in favour of his own pursuits...

Now that I mention Stargirl.... a Starman show would have been "dope"

how was swamp thing (the show)

did anyone watch it

slik is a fan of the following characters outside of the batverse

shazam
supes
flash
aquaman
swamp thing

big fan of geoff johns era of green lantern too and blackest night...not sure abut anything since then tho tbh

Please read Narc's posts.

Truly amazing. Like, really good.

I'm a bit biased because I'm a huge fan but the general consensus was also that it was magnificent.

narc hacked?

Yyyyyeah buddy (Didn't know what thread to put this in. Decided on this one)

Nice.

I can see why

Hero books down 9%. Manga and children's comics up.

We talked about this already but graphic novels are definitely the way to go.

Long form novels > monthly serials

From the newest issue of DEATH METAL

People will either like this or hate it I have a feeling...Alan Moore will probably hate it.

...

What the fuck is going on?!

Thanks. I hate it.

I like it, but am also cautious via Scott Snyder's tendency to go ultra-esoteric-cosmic and then not really follow up or follow through.

Like two issues from now that character could be totally different is what I mean. I remember it seeming like a huge deal when Sandman was in Darkest Knight: METAL but then nothing really happened with it.

I take Perpetua's words to mean

Well that was weird but my gawd I could look at Capullo's art all day.

So in the D.C. canon did the watchmen novel not take place or was Rorschach resurrected

There was a new Rorscach is Doomsday Clock. The son of the psychiatrist who visited him in prison or something

Doesn't even matter anymore, bro. Current universe was the result of Dr Manhattan being bored. It's all kitchen sink now.

The last time I knew of any actual advertisement for the Marvel app that didn't pop up online while I was actively researching something about a Marvel character out of conversational need or random curiosity was, and I shit you not, an OTA radio spot. Something about that felt off for what they're trying to do. Like the next step is to hire a street team in random cities to staple flyers to phone poles like 90s rap concerts to completely miss your audience.

So, exactly the same issue I'm having with Disney+... I want to watch the new episodes of the new Ducktales (so good), but I can't, because D+ only has through season 2... season 3 is on that Disney XD, which is free but you have to be watching in conjunction with a cable subscription to unlock the service. Not fooling with any of that is exactly the reason why I have Disney+, and it makes no sense to me why you'd have two different streaming services (as a company, I mean, not as a subscriber) with different content.

I have a particular DVD set of the original trilogy with the original films on them like a "bonus feature" (and I think they all have the same demo of the first LEGO Star Wars... have to go back and look). The sound is intentionally mono crippled, and its in black bar 4:3 instead of theatrical widescreen, but unless you go completely old school and hunt down the final release of the widescreen VHS set, Indy, that's about as good as it is going to get.

complete trash

DC already announcing their next big event for December... "Endless Winter".... at least finish your current big event first.... plus p sure they already did an endless winter crossover with Final Night

Reading a bunch of stuff from last year.

Holy shit at Female Furies.

Just...fucking YIKES

Darkseid by way of 'Rapey Office Manager' is pretty next level.

The WarnerMedia shakeup which saw Kevin Reilly, who brought AEW to TNT, let go has now crept into DC Comics.

Sounds like DC Editorial getting massive layoffs:

I'm sure it's not this bad but still YIKES, hope all the people let go land on their feet.

Dreading this means in a pond getting a little smaller the Bendis fish is getting larger...
