kjetting posted:I was just thinking, is the Macaroni an original creation for this show? And if so, is that the first original character to first appear on this show? Also, is it the first iteration of Alfred to have a vigilante persona???? I mean, it's not the first one at least. For example, the electro dude whose bloodline was ended. Or the drug dealer who drove Ivy's plant around. Is that plant guy original?

Is that plant guy original? Ivy's had giant pitcher plants that eat people and display a level of predatory sentience and sensitivity to injury, but they've never spoken before. One of them in the original Conroy animated series screamed when Ivy accidentally shot it, I guess. Honestly, it'd be funnier if Frank existed in a state not unlike Stewie in Family Guy, where early on people wondered if only Brian could hear him talk, but they clearly wanted to go the path of "Audrey III."

Its such a good tempo, they throw a lot of subtle and overt references and funny lines but they don't stop or dwell too much, lotta shows seem to feel they need to pause for applause so the thickos know what they said is funny, it is really refereshing

Interesting, they kept Killer Croc 100% the way he was in Batman:TAS. Also, Justice League Dark: Apokolips War is *really* good. 90 someodd minutes of pretty solid soft-R DC Animation. BIG HEADLINE fucked around with this message at 08:41 on May 5, 2020 |

Lechtansi posted:I don't know when they made these episodes but I really hope that Harleys origin is based on the Harleen comics. She actually has a complete character arc and falling in love with the joker makes sense - unlike batman:TAS where its "oh, joker gave her a flower and now shes in love and willing to throw her entire life away" or or the DC rebirth "she pretended to be an inmate at arkham and ??? happens and now shes crazy and in love with Joker."

Tiggum posted:The art in Harleen is absolutely fantastic, but the story is mediocre at best. It makes enough sense to provide an excuse for the drawings and that's all. It's not well-written by any stretch. I mean, its not a Pulitzer winning novel or anything but its easily better written than all the other harley quinn books. plus it does a great job of giving harley agency in her own story and is a fairly believable descent into madness (my gf is a therapist and won't read it because it hits too close to home). Plus it turns the romantic tropes of "hes the man of my dreams" and "it all started with a smile" into amazing horror moments which is really cool. Edit: That being said, i'm not much of a fan of most comics and i prefer the psychological horror/introspective aspect of Harleen compared to the "wacky hijinks of the week" aspect of the other Harley comics.

I love Bane in this. He's the perfect vehicle to deliver dunks on Nolan-verse at every opportunity. He also embodies the constant Dunning-Kruger thing all the Gotham villains have going on. He, of all of them, has come closest to killing Batman and beats Bruce like it's no thing, but the rest of his peers constantly poo poo on his ability and intelligence, for basically no reason than they're assholes.

CarpenterWalrus posted:for basically no reason than they're assholes. Penguin: has a limp, has a disguised gun that everyone knows about, and is a rich rear end in a top hat. Riddler: literally leaves *extra* clues to the crimes he commits, because he's an rear end in a top hat. The not-Riddler would be a more successful villain in reality. Two-face: ugly and sometimes makes decisions at random because he's an rear end in a top hat. Also has a regular gun. Catwoman: I guess she's kinda dexterous. But mostly just a greedy rear end in a top hat. With a whip, wow. Joker: 100% just an rear end in a top hat with face-paint. Bane and Clayface get no respect with their superpowers - maybe the assholes are jealous? (And then there's Poison Ivy, who is pretty close to being Swamp Thing level of god tier powerful.)

roomforthetuna posted:To be fair, that is basically the superpower of the majority of Gotham's major villains. Yeah, Poison Ivy's the closest thing Batman has to an *actual* superpowered nemesis other than Man-Bat. She's been able to mind control Superman, but the POWER OF FRIENDSHIP (and lots of kryptonite) tends to undo it. Catwoman's a legit metahuman, though. Also, you forgot: Ras Al-Ghul: really old, really rich, has a killer sauna routine Oh hey, that makes me think - since Damian exists on this show, hopefully we get to see the piss taken out of Ras and Talia at some point, because those are two characters that REAAAAALLY need the piss taken out of them.

Catwoman's just a lady who's really good at stealing just like Batman is a guy who's really good at punching and scaring people and being a detective. Edit: The next time Damian shows up should be with Talia and Ra's and they're just doting on them while also doing supervillain stuff because he's their pwecious widdle boy

It's funny, now that you mention it, Batman and Batman's villans are probably the least super-powered in the DCEU, and maybe even marvel. Yes you have stuff like Mr. Freeze's freeze gun, scarecrow's fear gas, and the lazerus pit but outside of Poison Ivy and Killer Croc you don't have any of the typical super powers. Its just a bunch of mobsters trying to take control of the gotham underworld.

You know how most superheroes are most powerful and cool in their own books, but then have to get toned down for teamups and crossovers where someone else has to shine? By contrast Batman is a godlike legend in Justice League books and then goes home to get in life and death struggles against mobsters and escaped mental patients.

He, of all of them, has come closest to killing Batman and beats Bruce like it's no thing, but the rest of his peers constantly poo poo on his ability and intelligence, for basically no reason than they're assholes. Right from the beginning Bane suggested talking to or possibly even teaming up with Harley rather than screwing her over ("perhaps we should have invited her to this meeting?"), if those other jerks had listened to him they would still be alive right now.

Batman's villains have grown accustomed to his bullshit by now, meanwhile Darkseid is like "what does prep time have to do with anything" that's not even getting into like, Amazo, or any other villain whose only weakness is a normal guy with a mean right hook

Batman has always hosed, but in this case, Talia decided to do a little extra and made a test tube bat baby for the League of Assassins. Damian ends up growing up raised by his mother and the League for ~10 years before he's introduced to his biological father and ends up joining him.

twistedmentat posted:I love Damien, he's such a piece of poo poo. Over the years he's gotten somewhat endearing (under good writers) where despite acting like he's the best Robin and clearly the one who should be the next Batman (though he'll admit that Tim is smarter and Dick is a better leader), he's a big softie for taking in animals and how they reintroduced Ace into the comics canon and why there's a cow in the batcave. He also adopted a giant flying beast when he had his own series. His best friend, however, is Superboy (Jon Kent) and was extremely torn up when he went to the future to join the Legion of Superheroes (Jon, then decided that he needed to show his best friend how awesome the future is and brought Damien there for an issue).
