Looks like some of the events from this show specifically that war in Bosnarovia and Gorilla Grodd will be playing some part in Superman

I know actors play younger/older all the time. But, unless it's flashbacks or time travel, you usually don't see two similarly aged actors playing parent/child. Granted, it's doubtful we'll ever see them onscreen together (for obvious reasons), so it's really just a weird nitpick that gets at me.

I'm really enjoying the series so far, but I don't know if this style will translate well to live action if Gunn is taking the same approach to Superman. Random acts of goofiness mixed with mayhem work for me, but casual audiences may find it off putting.

I think Mr. Phosphorus and Frankenstein are definitely the series MVPs.

This definitely has a Guardians of the Galaxy vibe. I'm guessing that's why his Superman is packed with other DC heroes and explains why Guy Gardner is his Green Lantern.

The most recent ep. was definitely going for GOTG with its final shot. I just hope Gunn doesn't push it too far in Superman. The JSA or whomever the group in it don't need to be walking around in slo-mo to some Beastie Boys song.

I heard a Podcast wondering if this Batman is BTAS Batman because of Rupert Thorne. Thorne was a big bad guy in BTAS.

This is supposed to be official canon of Gunn's DCU, so I don't think that's Thorne from BTAS, even though the design was clearly based on him.

Plus that universe has a different (and better) Waller and Clayface.

Re: DC's Creature Commandos (Max) -- animated series -- premieres 12/5/24

I wanted to like this more than I did but despite some cool characters it felt kind of brutally dark and cynical, and not in a cathartic way. Didn’t care for the whole princess/Circe arc and while I’m all for violence the kind of gratuitous glee they took in mowing down soldiers felt… excessive. I’d give it a B-, but liked The Suicide Squad and Peacemaker a lot more.
