BIG HEADLINE posted:Swamp Thing. Depending on when you determine Ivy's origin (the first version of her was published in 1966), Swamp Thing is 'older' than she is, origin-wise. Ivy controlled Swamp Thing, who was co-created by Bernie Wrightson, who made Captain Sternn, who I included in my LPs. So, basically, I was responsible for this show. You're welcome.

He's also mentioned in the previous HQ episode, I think, when one of them tries to convince the other to escape and one goes, "Who'll protect nature?" and the response is "Swamp Thing"

Yeah, I mean, if they let them incapacitate Batman and Phantom Zone the JL then they probably don't have lotta stuff that's off-limits.

Stargirl is fun. So far, not really exciting, thought provoking, or thrilling, but fun.

There was also a movie made by Bruce Timm in the DCAU style that had Poison Ivy team up with Swamp Thing while Bats and Nightwing had to team up with Harley.Angry Lobster posted:Plothook: Lobo comes to earth and hooks up with Harley for a while.

Brainwave is really nailing the "Nazi Scientist Steve Jobs" look. If Gotham always has one foot in the 1930's and Metropolis is always about 15 years in the future, I see no problem with Blue Valley being perpetually Post-WWII.

Looking at the Stargirl banner, who would have thought the new JSA would all sit at the same table on the first day. Second episode of Stargirl was solid? Here's the zoomed in portrait of the Injustice Society at the end. Grundy is pretty much the background from this view.

Stargirl feels like it's written as low budget action show that might be more appropriate on Nickelodeon or Disney Channel, but with a proper cable budget. All of the hokey cliches in writing, but magnitudes more money for sets, SFX and stuntwork. It might just be Pilot/First episode kinks though.

Spacebump posted:Is the early 00s Birds of Prey show watchable? I'm running out of things to binge watch. Not especially. In the very first episode, the detective chasing Huntress catches her in an apartment and as she goes to leave, he suddenly stops and asks "Why don't you carry a weapon?" She smirks and says "I am a weapon." It's completely random and not a question a human would think to ask. It has an extremely 00's soundtrack. It comes from the time when superhero shows were still vaguely embarrassed to be superhero shows. Dina Myers was a great choice for Oracle, though.

Technically no but there have been issues in the past where execs have stated that there can't be multiple versions of one character across different shows. This happened back in the Justice League/JLU cartoon where all of a sudden Batman side characters/villains vanished from the show.

This happened back in the Justice League/JLU cartoon where all of a sudden Batman side characters/villains vanished from the show. The Bat Embargo. That's definitely weakened a lot as there's up to three or four versions of a given DC character now floating around in a non-comics medium, but there might still be some live action/animated limits or other odd network or medium limitations.

Yea i think executive meddling is more likely than rights being in a weird state. You can't reference Booster Gold, we have plans for him!

Hell yeah. I don't even mind the Monster of the Week format it seems to be riding, so long as each villain helps build up the setting, the JSA's past, and Courtney/Pat's growing bond in and out of mask/mech. Would more people be on board if they saw Luke Wilson working out the kinks in his mech, complete with wonky rocket punch, like we all do with our bipedal battle armors from time to time?

That Stargirl was pretty packed. So the villains are trying to carry on their supervillainy and powers to the next generation, right? It's their idea of a "legacy", and why they're going to be forced to maintain the masquerade of semi-normalcy, yeah? That said, I'd love a Venture Bros/Tarantino mashup about a teen orphan who stalks and kills an aged supervillain crew who'd retired from crime.

I hope Jerry Seinfeld voices someone in this show eventually. Ideally involving the Penguin somehow, whether in flashback or the afterlife or something.
