Because anyone who says they don't want to be topped by a shark is a coward and a liar.

I guess, you could say tha I don't want to gently caress a shark because I'm a coward. It just seems like a bad idea in so many separate ways.

Oh no, def. not dead. Also... maybe not a villain? Like, he bent Batmen's legs the wrong way but he's done less proper villainous stuff than most of the main cast and also seems really good a building solid institutions that help the people inside them.

So, I guess maybe make Bane the mayor?

Him breaking Batman's legs was an act of good, given how much of a brat the Bat was being in that episode.

At least now we know where Damian gets his lovely attitude from.

Also not even necessarily power bottom - submissive high-powered executives are a thing, so submissive King Shark is totally feasible.

Ironic more that as a sworn peace officer killing tons of armed marauders with head-shots is completely legal meanwhile Batgirl and Batman have to stick to zip ties and tranq darts.

This seems real dumb, but if Batman just rolled around with a uniformed officer, said officer could lethally engage any of these violent criminals trying to kill people and its no big deal.

If someone took over a police station irl with machine guns, they'll be lucky if all they get is one headshot when the cops take it back. Bonus points if its in a post-anarchy setting.

According to TVLine, Season 2 of Doom Patrol will take up right where it left off, after the cockroach / rat lovemaking scene.

The DP will still be stuck at tiny size and have to figure out how to grow 'spiritually and physically' to get back to where they were.

Personally, I'd bet it's gonna have to involve Negative Man pulling some more warp hole tricks to get them normalized, none of the others have any powers that would help in this situation, unless Crazy Jane has a personality devoted to enlarging things or Ray Palmer stops by and lends them some white dwarf matter or something.

I don't think they had any time or budget to have a Legends of Tomorrow crossover, but that would be nice in a JLA / JSA tradition..

and it starts on June 26th. I thought they didn't finish filming so this is great news.

I think KM is just way too 'lesbian's first boyfriend' for that. He's nice, but he's ultimately someone she settled for because he was good enough and she hadn't realised something better was possible.

In that case I'll say give Young Justice season 1 a shot. While it has obvious hooks for further seasons it tells a complete story more or less in and of itself.

Ivy always knew better was possible. At a minimum she saw Brad in season 1.

Do they have Batman Beyond / Batman of the Future (same thing different countries)? Or Batman: The Brave and the Bold? Those are both great in different ways.

You know, it just occurred to me - the pandemic might herald the Golden Age of animation. Hell, even The Blacklist did ~40% of its finale in really lovely CGI with voiceovers.

And the turnaround for Season 2 of HQ was a hiccup compared to something like Venture Bros. or R&M.

I think Seasons 1 and 2 of HQ were produced together, which explains the minimal downtime between seasons. I'm assuming the wait for Season 3 will be at least a bit longer, assuming we get a Season 3 (fingers crossed, considering this is the best thing DC has done in a while).

More likely it's low-level animators who don't have the equipment at home to do their work. Your VA has an agent and a career, it's on them to have a good mic and recording space if they're WFH. A junior animator would need a good monitor, mid-range PC, and probably a good tablet to WFH.

And no, a lot of companies are run by people who aren't competent enough to come up with "box up their workstation at the studio and send it to them". And of those companies that manage it, not all of those systems get set up right at home by artists.
