From the trailer for the next episode, I guess they couldn't get the rights to use the Challengers of the Unknown?

I'm a little disappointed since making GBS threads on the Challengers was probably my favorite parts of that Teen Titans Go movie.

HBO Max is getting a Gotham Central type show set in the Reeves Batman universe.
RIP HBO Max BatFleck miniseries rumors.

edit: also, Stargirl S1 is on sale on US itunes for $10 atm. Excited to see this show after how much everyone in the thread seems to like it.

Steel and Stone, surprisingly good together.

Wow, that last part escalated quickly. Before then I was sad enough watching Larry's son betray him and get his grandson shot but drat.

I suppose in Niles' defense...not telling Dorothy about his misdeeds is important in that she listens and believes in him and without him she'll make more wishes. But yeah, lots of awful choices from the world's most awful man. drat it all Niles.

In the middle of watching this week's Stargirl and I'm wondering if we're going to get a reveal that Pat is actually super old. It would definitely explain some stuff.

I really like how sinister Dr. Ito is. Even among villains he's different.

Two cliffhangers and the reveal about the ISA's plot. Kind of wish Brainwave kept his old hair.

So they're modeling Dragon King (Shiro Ito) on a real life war criminal Shiro Ishii who performed horrible experiments on prisoners during WWII. "Fun" fact, unlike the supervillain, in real life Shiro Ishii got away with no consequences!

Sidenote I really enjoyed how instead of trying to make Darkseid silly and lighthearted like the rest of the show they just steered right into the iceberg, to the point of playing ominous music only when he speaks. Made for a better joke.

That was a really good episode, but Cyborg essentially being in a different show is getting a bit old I think. Valentina was great and I'm hoping she'll return to jumpstart a Rebis storyline.

Trailer speculation: Was that the Love Glove in the box?

Stargirl, I would not be opposed to having Nathan Fillon show up as an older, puanchy Vigilante. I also like how Green Arrow and Speedy are right there but not mentioned.

And yea, picking up peoples surface level thoughts would make you hate humanity, but like Court says, there's more to people than that, plus the meeting with Yolanda I hope makes him realize that he is probably an rear end in a top hat.

I actually think Larry's arc is pushing him away from becoming Rebis unless he ends up donating his Negative Spirit or something.

So basically, the Challenger clones were disposable wannabes that were literally just half of the real Challs designed to be thrown away for a plot point.

Why are they just burying them? Couldn't that fungus spread to other dead bodies and then before you know it, worldwide zombie plague but instead of wanting to eat you, the zombies just want to play tackle football all day long.

I believe they said that the fungus couldn't survive Earth's atmosphere, and those two guys were definitely running down.

Stargirl was another episode where the ending kind of overshadowed everything that came before it.

I appreciate the reaction to Dragon King's face was just screaming into energy blast.

That was a nice misdirect with Brainwave's wife being cold when found.
