Lois: Why are you wearing underwear on the outside?

Superman: It's not underwear. On my homeworld of Krypton, it's a symbol of hope.

Honestly, I think they could make one of the arguments for why Superman designs have tended to drift back towards the trunks an in-universe argument: they help with the colour balance of the suit.

‘Blue Beetle’ Animated Series in the Works at Warner Bros. Animation, DC Studios

The project comes from director-showrunner Miguel Puga and writer Cristian Martinez.
www.hollywoodreporter.com www.hollywoodreporter.com
Warner Bros. Animation and DC Studios are developing an animated series based on the DC Comic character. The potential show would follow on the 2023 feature film, which starred Xolo Maridueña as the title character, who gains super powers after an alien Scarab fuses with his body.

Miguel Puga (Nickelodeon's The Casagrandes) is serving as showrunner and director on the animated project, with Cristian Martinez (Good Trouble) writing. The Blue Beetle film's writer, Gareth Dunnet-Alcocer, and director, Angel Manuel Soto, are on board as executive producers, as are John Ricard and Galen Vaisman; both were EPs on the movie, and Vaisman will oversee the series project for DC Studios.

Warner Bros. Animation and DC Studios declined comment.

Oh, hai, I did FINALLY get Flash from the library.

There's the POTENTIAL for a OK movie here, but yeah it's a mess. Like, why is BRUCE WAYNE Mr. Exposition and explaining the multiversal stuff? How would he even know. And having 'other Barry' be the villain... well, it's a choice, but seems like a very weird one.

I DID like Supergirl, and I feel bad they wasted her on this film.

One theory is that Mister Terrific, Guy Gardner, and Hawkgirl are part of a Maxwell Lord backed JLI. Also ths building was the actual inspiration for the Hall of Justice in the first place.

Mostly because Hanna-Barbera made Superfriends and was based out of Cincinnati and used the local landmark for artistic inspiration.
 
Huh.


Goldsman confirmed whether or not the Schumacher cut of Batman Forever was even real. "Yes, it does exist," he said before giving more details about the mysterious movie. "There is a preview called 'Preview One.' Most of the material that is available is put back together. There's not a lot out there that folks haven't seen that you couldn't cobble [together]."

After his friend Schumacher passed away in 2020, Goldsman wished to honor his friend. He explained, "I did talk to Warner [Bros]. This was one administration ago. My fantasy was to try and resurrect [Batman Forever] as a sort of celebration with Joel after he died."

Cape Crusader fans might be curious about what might be in this version of Batman Forever. "It was darker," Goldman shared his insight on the film he'd seen. "Bruce was haunted by his past. He felt guilt. It's all the stuff you read. None of that is mysterious. It was a more modern interpretation of the narrative, and what's not dissimilar to those [stories] that we sort of caught up with now. I've seen it. It was put back together."

Y'know what, color me intrigued. I don't know that I would go quite as hard on Schumacher as Collider does but honestly I'd like to see what the film looked like before he recut it to amplify the camp value.
 
Hmm so largely not the original creature commandos.

I suppose that makes sense given the original creature commandos timeline wise were active in world war II.
 
Why is Darkseid here but not Orion?

Characters who in their original conception where wildly different then how they are portrayed today?

Characters who in their original conception where wildly different then how they are portrayed today?

Darkseid and the New Gods get this constantly.

Orion was not this barely contained raging jerk who is suffering from his "bad genes" but a warrior poet figure who uses a assistive device to deal with his anger.

Darkseid is not this super badass all evil in the multiverse but a tyrant who enjoys strolling to watch his work who is ultimately a coward.

The fact that modern Copyright law means Jack Kirby couldt write more of the New Gods but modern DC writers could ruin them proves its need of reform. Corporate copyright for twenty years personal copyright for life plus twenty years.
 
What Darkseid is always depended on the era and the medium. The Darkseid from let's say the Super friends, the Darkseid from Superman the animated adventures/Justice League/Justice League unlimited might as well be different people and the same seems to be somewhat true in his comic depictions over the decades.

Well presumably because the people who made this 8-year-old movie probably didn't know or care that "Konradleijon of Sufficient Velocity" would have a problem with the depiction of Darkseid and the New Gods in a Justice League movie and that most adaptations don't particularly care about if they're "radically different" from the original conception of the characters if the creators want to do something different (see Brainiac as the Ur-Example of this) :V

Orion is Darkseid's more nemesis and the one prophesied to kill him.

I hate how the New Gods are handled by DC. It seems that they just hate New Genesis and portray it almost as worse as Apoliopips and make Darkseid generic dark lord 325
