DC Movies - To Infinity and Beyond

Pennyworth: The Origin of Batman's Butler Season 3 (or does the new title mean it'll be starting the count over)

Good God, are they actually calling it that now?

*Googles* Apparently so. The mind boggles, reels, staggers, and falls to the ground.

The first season was actually remarkably good. I bought the Blu-ray of the second season but haven't gotten around to watching it yet.

That title change, though. Ye gods. :barf2:

Other posters' misuse of Ezra Miller's pronouns is the hill you're going to take a stand on?

With the intensified focus on the movies being DC's most important productions, the four films above appear to be a strong continuation/start for the ten year plan. If only they can avoid any attempt to adapt "C-list" (and lower) characters, the ship might stay the course.

Now, regarding...

Blue Beatle

...despite longtime comic fans knowing the various versions of the character, as noted about the Black Canary project, this is one in need of a boost from larger characters, as his source did not have the greatest of stories to work from.

I am curious to see if it makes any difference. Imagine the blunt on-the-nose titles we will get if it does.

It's already a premise that invites mockery, though what I've seen of the show definitely transcends its "really?" concept. But that new subtitle just sounds like self-parody.

Yeah the show starts a little awkward and then REALLY gets going, and descends into the best kind of madness. Definitely feel the presence of the Gotham writers in this one.

Well, anyway, loved most of season 1 but for reasons I don't really know couldn't be bothered to watch season 2... heh

During this weekend's Hollywood Babble-On show, Kevin Smith not only commented on the whole situation, but also revealed that he was going to write and direct a Jimmy Olsen/Bizarro episode of the "Strange Adventures" anthology, which is now dead:

Fuck. What a ridiculous bloodbath. All so Discovery can shovel more reality TV shit into the world.

I'm not suggesting it's on the same level but it also had Brendan Fraser who many had been rooting for with all of his setbacks.

We still have Doom Patrol...for now...

Enterprise became Star Trek: Enterprise in season 3 (actually a few episodes into season 3), but the season count wasn't changed. And other series have had subtitles added to specific seasons, like Young Justice: Invasion or Doctor Who: Flux, without being counted as new starts.

But yeah, as subtitles go, this one seems a bit desperate.
 
I was looking to see something about the show and saw this on HBO Max.

Only comes up on search, if you actually click it the subtitle isn't shown.

The most recent probably being Orville: New Horizons.
 
So, THR says that WB is considering 3 options for The Flash. Firstly, that Miller seeks help and does limited press, explaining the reasons for their recent behaviour. Secondly, that they play no part in promoting the movie. And thirdly, the nuclear option of scrapping the film. Which I guess isn’t entirely unlikely, given the Batgirl decision. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/m...ra-miller-problem-worsens-warners-1235196919/

I'm surprised scrapping a $200 million movie is even on the table. It shows how bad the situation has gotten. Although it sounds like they won't go there unless Miller does something even worse.

Let's hope Miller seeks therapy and gets their act together before things get any worse, regardless of the fate of the film.

Some have convinced themselves that Batgirl was some great film just waiting in the wings, only to be stopped by dastardly corporate overlords. If anyone used even a bit of perspective (and being honest with themselves), they would find that over the past 22 years, there have been more poor superhero films than great, or even good, so there was the possibility--I write again--possibility that Batgirl's quality meter leaned heavily in the direction of poor. No one knows for sure.

Still, the loudest conspiracy peddlers simply cannot believe that Batgirl--knowing less about it than the information one would find in a trailer--was anything other than a glorious revelation of comic adaptations, and show just where they stand ethically by advocating all manner of illegal action to obtain that which does not belong to them--all to fulfill their fan entitlement issues. Astounding.

I remember eleven year old me being bitterly disappointed that the Ron Ely "Doc Savage" movie never made it to any movie theater near me, thinking I'd missed something wonderful. When I finally saw it on TV, I could see why at least one distributor called it "unsellable."

Some movies really are bad enough to not get released, no matter how much one might love the characters they're based upon.

Same, but the Lou Ferrigno Hercules. But holy crap, I’d like to think that a modern day studio pic could never be as bad as that.

I would bet money that it's not as bad as that, and that the recent string (and maybe future outings) of movies from both WB and Disney might even be worse. I mean. There aren't annoying screaming goats in Batgirl (I have to assume), so it's already ahead of the recent pack.

Very much the case. Whether it was the Ely Doc Savage, the Matt Salinger Captain America (1990), or Corman's unreleased Fantastic Four (1994), there were--and are some superhero productions that were never going to live up to expectations (from a studio and/or fan perspective) or capture the best of a character. Some will need to accept that might have been the case with Batgirl.
