Jim Lee confirms that DCU is done for new shows and original programming is moving over to HBO Max. DCU is staying around but it sounds like it is mostly going to be the comics and older shows/movies.

MonsterEnvy posted:He was pretty tough in Young Justice. Though yeah, it's true that in Young Justice he was kind of okay, but it wasn't because of his sportsmasterness, he could have been paralyzed-man and had much the same effect. His plot importance in YJ was all about his control over and training of Artemis. He could have had literally no ability himself and still been pretty much just as relevant, with only minor changes.

Something I liked about Stargirl is it shows a group of young women who have different body types. Yolanda and Cort are both athletic but not that rail thin type you see in basically everything, and Beth is allowed to be a bit thick. I really hope they don't change this.

DCU has no staff at this point. Like everyone was fired except for 2 people so how they expect to run a digital comic service with two people is puzzling.

Glad I ordered my old Ted and Jack Knight figures from DC Direct a month ago. I remember they got laid off too so I’m imagining warehouses and server rooms run by a talking Rat and his truest Roach love. Just caught up from BSS and are they really just purging DC? Like really? gently caress AT&T... I thought it was was mostly just DCUniverse steaming not massive torches to everything DC. Now I feel bad for joking...

I remember they got laid off too so I’m imagining warehouses and server rooms run by a talking Rat and his truest Roach love I'm gonna put on the "Well I KNOW PEOPLE" hat here for a second. I've been friends with editor Andy Khouri for close to 20 years. We met on AOL! He's been pretty quiet so far but he was definitely blindsided. In addition to that, one of my old customers from my comic shop days also works at DC. They're granted us a private tour of the offices on our honeymoon. They were in the Direct/Collectibles department until just about 3 years ago and their current position involves coordinating with DCU and from what has been said, they don't think the firings are over. Also DC's offices are littered with unopened DCC product. Like, statues, figures, prop replicas. poo poo's everywhere. I was given a few items and offered my pick of dozens of other things but we had no room in our luggage and no time to get to a post office to mail them back so I had to decline. With the shutdown of DCC they were told to pack up any and everything with that logo on it. There's also a huge room where there's hundreds of unproduced prototypes and they all think it's going to get boxed up and either sold off at blind auction of buried in the Warner archives.

I just read Doomsday Clock and was thinking about getting back in funny enough. DP and Stargirl made me miss it and I mostly stopped reading when the new 52 came out (except for Damien Wayne -loved that guy). Young Justice, Titans, JSA, Starman, Morrison JLA and Bats were cornerstones of my childhood and teens. All those poor people. Man...

Cattle, grain, hay, and organic produce. I base this on one episodes plotline being all the Kent cows being poisoned by luthorcorp, one episode where Martha gets trapped in a grain silo, about a million instances of Clark loading hay bales, and a reference at some point that Martha was delivering produce to people like one of those farm subscription things you can get

Finished all of Harley Quinn. That show was far, far better than I expected it to be when I first heard that the show existed, but I saw part of the college episode and was immediately onboard after a few more episodes. I'm so glad Harley and Ivy got together.  Blueberry Pancakes posted:My favorite part is Joker getting kicked in the nuts. Jesus, I forgot how good the animation was.

Finally watching Doom Patrol, i kinda wish I had watched this before Harley Quinn because Alan Tudyk is doing a slightly less manic version of his Joker voice as the narration. drat this is good. It's weird but not weird in the way that seems random. All the weirdness makes total sense. twistedmentat fucked around with this message at 06:40 on Aug 19, 2020 |

Hypocrisy posted:Yes. Doom Patrol is amazing. If i have one complaint is that there's a little too many flashbacks showing these are broken, hosed up and damaged people. By episode 6 they've strongly established that. If i have two complaints, a lot of Janes personalities are just huge bitches and that makes it hard to watch. Even then, these are kind of minor complaints that don't subtract from the show at all.

The flashbacks really lay it on thick, but especially as the show progresses into the later season and second season it helps to really highlight their growth, progress, and healing, which helps to give the show a more positive spin all the same. While maintaining the formula by having them still be broken,, hosed up, and damaged people who are in need of further growth, progress, and healing. Just ahead of who they were.

Does that mean we get to see him get his head bashed in? I had to look up the song from The Danny The Street episode and I was "oh that's what Kelly Clarkson sounds like" because I have heard that song before but never payed attention to who sung it. That was probably the most Grant Morrisson feeling episode yet. The whole Bureau of Normalcy is exactly the kind of thing he'd have. I assume that was in his run? twistedmentat fucked around with this message at 07:23 on Aug 23, 2020 |

Yeah. Danny the Street, Mr Nobody, The Bureau and Jane are all his original creations. So is the Constantine stand in from that two parter. There are a couple other creations of his that show up near the end of the season. I’m on episode 11 now, and plan on finishing the season in the next couple days. EDIT: He also created the Beard Hunter, but he was more of a parody of the Punisher from what I remember.

S1 is very heavily based off of Morrison's Doom Patrol as is also one of the, if not the most iconic runs on the series.

I like how, as in Titans, this is a world where the other heroes exist, just this is beneath their notice. And they straight up say that with Cyborg. He's like the connection to the world of regular superheroes.

Okay, so I know this is for DCU, but did anyone else watch "Man of Tomorrow" and get a heavy "this is a really pointed allegory for the GLBTQ community?" The opening scene of young Clark crying because of the actress in the movie being scared of "the alien" was pretty on the nose.

The Butts are loose! I finished Doom Patrol season 1. Funny, I thought that Flex Mentallo was an actual Golden Age character until I found out, nope Grant Morrisons creation. I also really like Mr Nobodies meta knowlage of the entire universe, but Rita being able to clue on on it and take control. I love the set with the little stuff build by Larry in the season 2 opener. Please tell me Dorothy isn't precious and twee the entire season? I'm assuming not because Jane and Cliff basically say "wow she is going to get annoying real fast", and the show has been pretty self aware so far. twistedmentat fucked around with this message at 02:53 on Aug 29, 2020 |

Played catch-up on the live action stuff...RIP DCU Doom Patrol was good when it went full grant morrison weirdness. I never read any DP other than the flex mentallo miniseries years back with no context and really liked it. Was cool to see the character show up in the DC stuff even if it doesn't look like they'll really dig into him at all (maybe in a s3?)..morrison side note: I liked this way better then happy, the other GM show. Titans was a slog to get through and I agree with everyone in this thread on that. Not sure what I can add to that discussion. Not sure I want to see what a death in the family adaptation would look like on this show for s3 to be honest, other then being totally OK with this jason todd getting merc'd (the extra extra grim version of red hood is going to be painful). Don't know if I'm going to bother. I noped out of Swamp Thing after ep 4 or 5. I love me some saga of by moore, and thats pretty much it in terms of the character and this 100% was not that, or if it was it didn't happen in the half of the season I saw. Checking the thread seems like I made a good call there. Moores run is fantastic, just adapt that next time ffs. Swamp Thing before his run was just some run of the mill revenge tale dreck. CW style DC is not my bag so I skipped stargirl, sorry thread. Everyone seemed to like the harley animated series so I'll give it a shot. The venture comparison bodes well, big vb fan.

DOOM PATROL RENEWED Although it specifically just says HBO Max so I guess the news was true and so DCU is dead as a TV delivery service.
