Only relation I pick up between BP and Aquaman is bad CGI.

Batman: The Animated Series' BluRay collection is finally up for pre-order on Amazon. Includes the complete series, Mask of the Phantasm, Subzero, and what looks like a hefty booklet & lithographs.
Oh, and it also includes some really crappy-looking bobbleheads that belong in the trash.

https://www.amazon.com/Batman-Complete-Animated-BD-Blu-ray/dp/B07FPRXFJ1
Warner's been very tight-lipped on whether this collection is a true from-the-film restoral or whether it's more of an upscale. Given that Nickelodeon took a decade to release a really crappy Avatar: TLA BluRay upscale, I have my doubts about this but I have to believe that WB cares more about Batman than Nickelodeon cares about anything.
It's coming out in October, and I'm totally getting it.

Funny, my wife made that comparison as well. "BP with more diversity" was her exact comment, which I found kinda ironic. We are going no matter what because my wife needs her dose of Momoa.

Shazam looks entertaining, Aquaman looks like a Super Hero movie made before the MCU existed.

DCWTV doing what DCEU can't seem to figure out....

I wasn't even aware The CW was doing a Batwoman show. Looks like she will appear on Arrow first.

is this the same chick that was on OitnB?

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #458 on:** August 07, 2018, 11:06:34 PM »

Yes she is BnM. I am glad that they are getting the casting right with this. I love the DC TV shows a bit more than the DCEU right now but I think the DCEU is heading in the right direction.

Shorty McNostril · « **Reply #459 on:** August 08, 2018, 01:20:55 AM »

I might watch the crossover when they introduce her to have a look, but I can't do the Arrowverse shows anymore. I get too annoyed at them.

Stratos · « **Reply #460 on:** August 08, 2018, 01:48:04 PM »

I can put op with the annoyances on the Arrowverse in small doses, but not for all of the shows at the same time. Even if they weren't becoming more annoying, it is too overwhelming to watch them all together. Too much other good TV to watch.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #461 on:** August 08, 2018, 02:32:05 PM »

I saw a preview for the new upcoming season of Arrow. Made me kinda curious to go catch up and see what's going on.

I've lost all interest in The Flash at least a season or 2 ago.

LoT sounds like people like it, but it also looks so out there, that I just can't bring myself to get back into it.

Supergirl I still check out from time to time

Black Lightning is the new ****.
But I'll tune in for the Bargirl debut, see what that's all about.

nickmitch · « **Reply #462 on:** August 08, 2018, 03:30:31 PM »

I saw mixed reactions to the casting on twitter. Some people were ecstatic at the representation, while some people implied she can't act? I haven't seen her in anything that I can recall. It seems good on paper, and the only thing I can say is I don't think she's ginger.

BTW, I only read Batwoman for a little bit, but I distinctly remember her being a redhead with a red wig. Which was weird. The added length was part of the disguise, however.

Gotham getting a 5th and Final Season.

To focus on Bruce becoming Batman.

Stratos · « **Reply #464 on:** August 13, 2018, 01:00:59 PM »

I thought this was already confirmed? I predicted 5 seasons originally, and had hoped they would use it to launch a new Batman show.

UncleBob · « **Reply #465 on:** September 07, 2018, 07:57:35 PM »

Is the DC Streaming service going to be worth it?

BranDonk Kong · « **Reply #466 on:** September 07, 2018, 08:26:10 PM »

**** Batman. Does that answer your question?

UncleBob · « **Reply #467 on:** September 07, 2018, 09:38:05 PM »

I mean, that aside, classic DC animated shows (my soul for Static Shock) along with their newer Animated movies....

oohhboy · « **Reply #468 on:** September 08, 2018, 04:46:31 AM »

The new stuff varies a fair bit. When they use that bland "Standard" sort of animé look like Son of Batman good chance you're in for a mediocre film. The characters and the plot are pretty nice but then you have really stupid and dumb stuff like a hand cranked Gatling multiple barrel arrow launcher. I know they are the League of Assassins but what? It would have been badass if it wasn't shooting at black hawk helicopters with miniguns. It looks silly in a bad way.

The blandness of the animation and these absurd silly moments really deflate the whole thing.

When they break from this going with a Western derivative like the older X-Men looks it's much better. When they ape the old B:TAS ,S:TAS you're in for a treat even when it is silly as **** with Brainiac Attacks. You can feel the effort and the thought of achieving this look. Throwing the story board at the Korean animation company saying animate this and walking away is super lazy compared to demanding a certain style and doing the more stringent QC.

When they bring in the classic VA, well you're off to the races especially if they have Lois Lane paired with Dana Delany(Her irl personality is not too dissimilar to Lois). Maybe it's a script thing but Tim Daly on the other hand not so my, lacks the cheekiness a lot of the time. Brainiac Attacks brings this back full force while completely clowning Lex deep into comic relief.

Justice League Action looks matches the fun tone.

**** Batman.

Henry Cavill isn't coming back as Superman. RIP DC universe.

Adrock · « **Reply #470 on:** September 12, 2018, 11:32:16 AM »

It’s as if Warner Bros. should just reboot the whole DCEU.

ShyGuy · « **Reply #471 on:** September 12, 2018, 04:09:45 PM »

I would be willing to say goodbye to Gadot to get rid of the rest of the chuckleheads.

Shorty McNostril · « **Reply #472 on:** September 12, 2018, 04:24:25 PM »

It's sad that Cavill never got a chance to really shine. He's been hamstrung the whole time. I really believe he could have done really well as a proper, optimistic and hopeful Superman if he'd been allowed to play the role properly.

But let's be honest. He's probably happy that he's now got an opportunity to bail given the trainwreck the whole thing is.

Plugabugz · « **Reply #473 on:** September 12, 2018, 04:37:14 PM »

The DCEU has been a complete mess since BVS onwards.

Everything is inconsistent and not making any logical overarching sense while the decisions they do make screw up the Arrowverse by taking characters offl-limits when they already planned to use them (like Deathstroke last season, Harley Quinn earlier on).

broodwars · « **Reply #474 on:** September 12, 2018, 04:54:30 PM »

I'd be content if DC just focused entirely on their animation & television divisions, which (aside from Supergirl) have generally been fine.

With the increasing power of geek culture, I kind of wonder why people still seem to think we need terrible Marvel & DC Live Action movies for legitimacy.
