Nah I bet she returns someday. Especially if things go well for her in court and she gets her act together. Might not be for a while though.

But instead Gunn and co. will probably conclude that audiences don't want to see Barry Allen.
That's not really a bad conclusion to make in my view. After such a failed outing, I think it's only sensible to lay off any Flash related projects for the foreseeable future, *especially* involving Barry Allen. It's too bad for Flash fans, but the audiences spoke clearly.

This isn't an unreasonable decision to me. Batman/Superman are the heavy hitters of DC, with a proven track record. Flash as a character just can't compare. You can risk overexposure for the big shots, but with Flash it seems smarter just to let it go. Especially with so many other DC characters that are waiting to be adapted.

However, I just don't know how a Kraven Movie works in the larger scheme.
The same way the Venom movies worked. If the first one is successful enough then just keep making more of them.

By the way if it wasn't already mentioned, the character's name is spelled N'neka. She was named after N'neka Garland, a producer on the show who recently passed away in March.

The people who objected to Gal Gadot were entirely antisemitic supporters of Palestinian revanchism.
Absolutely nothing in those articles you posted indicates any kind of anti-Semitism. Only one poorly conceived suggestion by an Israeli journalist that alludes to Jewish exclusion from casting. Far from "pure anti-Semitism".
Also, it is very destructive and misguided to falsely equate antisemitism with support for Palestinians.

Somehow I doubt this.
QuoteThey objected to her because she's Israeli and they hate Israel and all things Jewish.
Who is "they"?

Apparently it is to Jada.

Choices and intentional acts can be mistakes. They are not mutually exclusive. Haley made a choice to drive drunk, and that choice was a mistake.

All the more reason for Nancy to ask for it, in my view.

I’m amazed that Eden and Evan are in a relationship because Jex have zero chemistry.
Oh, didn't know this. I kinda figured they would be unable to resist.
46 minutes ago, Peppermint Patty said:She is quickly becoming the most interesting part of the show for me.
Same. I'm really glad they added her and hope to see more of her organization.

I wish I could say that I'm surprised by this turn of events, but I'm not. From what little I've seen of HP's social media over the years, her personality comes off like she might be the type to have a little trouble. But more than that, it's her last few appearances on GH that gave me pause. She looked like someone that was partying way too hard or worse, especially in the face.
I wasn't expecting anything this horrific though. She is very lucky to be alive, and hopefully the other driver pulls through. (As for the situation with the firefighter, I can't say that I blame her for that one, especially when she was clearly under the influence.)
I wonder if she and Tajh Bellow are still together?
Hopefully she gets some treatment, and hopefully the show will allow her to return someday.

They could definitely do a reunion series with limited episodes or a movie. Their age isn't too big a factor. It's just a matter of finding the right story, but it could be done. They could also go the animation route as well.

At least they can replay lots of good Bobbie episodes during the strike.
That's really what they *should* do, but sad they probably won't...

It will be odd seeing a recast Kristina together with a temp Molly.

It was probably a mistake for Pinkett to even include Cleopatra to begin with. She claims that she wants to represent Black women with the series, and yet chooses a Greek ruler from colonized Egypt?

Has there been any word on the reasoning behind the interracial casting? Like why there are Black parents with white children and vice versa? Is this suppose to be like a Bridgerton-type thing or something? (I don't follow that genre).

I disagree on whether it captures the spirit of Batman well, at least compared to the previous intro (and that's not counting my problems with Robin in the first place, or Bruce recruiting kids into his army).
Children being superheroes and crime-fighters is all a part of comic book fantasy, so it doesn't really bother me personally.
I guess this series at least sidesteps the problem by having Robin be college aged.

One thing to note is that in the production order of the series, this is the first episode to be plagued by the new Adventures of Batman and Robin intro as part of the promotion of Robin's debut in Batman Forever.
I enjoy the second opening, especially with the classic Walker theme playing. Yeah it might be less original than the first opening, but it really captures the spirit of Batman well. It's also nice when the show steps out of the Elfman/Burton shadow. I think this series was at its best when they did their own thing and weren't following the Tim Burton films.

Furthermore, their costume is just ridiculous. I get that they were from a Batman comic, but it feels more like they belonged in one of the goofier Spider-Man comics than Batman, particularly one starring Paste-Pot Pete. A bat motif and costume is cool; the fox, vulture and shark motifs for the trio aren't really working out, looking more like Halloween costumes.
I think it aligns well with the Batman comics. Not every criminal is a supervillain like the others. For some it's just a gimmick and not much more. Given the Trio's backstory I think it makes sense for the characters.
One thing I appreciate about the Animated Series is that they used stories from all throughout the different eras of Batman comics. You get episodes of silly camp right alongside the serious and dramatic stories. This was especially important for a children's cartoon show.

If Victor is suppose to be Ras al-Ghul in this storyline then I guess that means Spencer is the Batman.
I wonder just how much longer this Dex/Michael thing will keep going. November sweeps? Or will they just drop it altogether and have Michael forgive Sonny?

That being said, it doesn't take away from the pathos of Ivy's newly layered character in TAS. Paul Dini did a great job fleshing her out, as I've always found her tree-hugging extremism to be too simple of a motive for a Batman villain, and infertility as a motive for a children's cartoon is beyond ambitious for Dini. Now if he could only fix the Penguin (I also heard Catwoman was did dirty on TAS, though my memory's unclear on that one except remembering the notorious Tyger Tyger).
I think that not every Batman villain needed to be given layers. Some characters are just greedy, sick, or love crime.
I'm not sure why they even bothered giving Mr. Freeze layers, but I guess someone behind the scenes must have really liked the character.

I never liked how they turned Bullock into a jerk who hates Batman for this version, but it's not a bad character dynamic I admit.
I wish they had changed his first name though. Having both him and Harvey Dent in the show was irritating.
46 minutes ago, MagnusHex said:I'm watching this episode in production order, and it's listed as episode 2 of season 2 on both the production order list and Wikipedia. But HBO Max not only has it as an episode from the 4th season, but it has that new(er) The Adventures of Batman & Robin intro and end titles as well (even though Robin isn't a recurring character yet), which caught me by surprise. Ah well.
Some of the "Season Two" episodes aired with the B&R intro and some didn't. And 2x02 aired over a year after 2x01.

But Killer Croc, at least in the two episodes of TAS up to this episode, has been portrayed as a dumb thug like how the Rhino was portrayed in media (in spite of him having some semblance of intelligence in his first outing, The Amazing Spider-Man #41). However, I've learned that Waylon Jones has more substance to his character in the comics, but I guess I won't find out any time soon what that is. Furthermore, I've learned that Croc was a Gerry Conway character... which makes a lot more sense (big Spidey fan here who read all the classic comics).
Yeah, Killer Croc was originally a criminal genius who attempted to take over all of the mobs in Gotham. It was the post-Crisis reboot where they turned him into dumb muscle in the late 80s/early 90s.
The Gerry Conway run on Batman is great and the Croc arc in particular was some of his best work in my view.

Depends on which continuity you're referring to, I guess. TAS' Batman would probably be comparatively sane compared to his comic counterpart.
I was referring to both continuities actually. I don't think that Batman has an unstable psyche in either, although the comic books have toyed with the idea in recent decades. Certainly at the time Phantasm was made, Bruce in the comic books was still a sane and mentally healthy character, although just beginning to enter into an unstable era.

The last act of the movie aside, I find Phantasm to be a solid entry and easily a far superior film over most live action attempts;
I don't really think that it's particularly fair to compare this film to any live action attempts. Not only is it animation, it's also rooted within the universe established in the television series. Apples to oranges in my view.
16 hours ago, MagnusHex said:Of course, you'd have to wonder if Bruce's psyche was aggravated by the criminals of Gotham (especially The Killing Joke's events) or if he was messed up from the beginning (the movie suggests the former).
I don't think that Bruce is messed up at all. He's determined, and dedicated to the job, but not unstable. I'm not sure if he could ever live a normal life either, but not because of some kind of damaged psyche.

Someone upthread mentioned Kristina, is she bisexual or did you mean from the perspective of having a half-Latino father?
I believe that Kristina is suppose to be bisexual. Maybe you were fortunate enough to miss her relationship with Professor Parker a few years back.

Kraven the Hunter (2023)
in Movies
Yeah, that's not what the synopsis says, like at all.
Also, as if any of these R rated Sony villains would ever be seen going up against a Tom Holland Spidey.
