Spoilers Titans - DC Universe Series

[Morpheus 02]

Just watched it. It was okay. Robin is mostly done correctly. He should be less brooding and more cheerful though. The idea that he left because he was becoming too much like Batman doesn't sound right since he was supposed to keep Batman in check. Without Robin around, Batman is supposed to get "rougher".
Raven was fine but shouldn't she have three eyes in her "demonic" state?

Could they not afford orange makeup for Starfire?

So is she supposed to be human with enhanced powers or what?

And they couldn't afford GREEN make up? They could in the 70s

Raven or Starfire? Starfire is an alien and Raven is part demon.

Caught the first episode. Without going much into spoilers before more people get a chance to see it, I'll just say it's a promising start. I liked the Robin and Raven dynamic, and Dick as a cop, Starfire's story so far is a bit weird but intriguing, so basically I'm enjoying the set up so far.

The cast is really good, Anna Diop in particular stole the show. The music on the show is good as well and the cinematography is several notches above the CW stuff so points there too.

Overall, I liked it, looking forward to the next one.

Also, regarding Arrowverse, if we go by casting it's not set in the same mulitverse, because Kovar isn't played by Dolph Lundgren

It's been strongly implied that the 1990 The Flash was in the same multiverse as the current one, but while the two do share several doppelgangers (Barry I/Henry/Jay, Tina McGee, Julio Mendez, Tony Bellows, the Trickster, Prank), they have different actors playing characters named Iris West, Captain Cold, and Mirror Master.

But yeah, I figured it was too much to expect any continuity between the Arrowverse and the, uhh, DC Universe...verse.

Titansverse?

Doom Patrol is clearly set in the same universe, being a spin-off, but I'm not sure how connected they plan to make the other shows. I think they've said that Swamp Thing will not be connected to it, but also not not connected to it, kinda like Black Lightning and the Arrowverse. And I don't think they've said anything either way about Stargirl, so I guess we'll have to hold off from coining an appropriate term at least for a short while.

Personally I hope Beebo will show up in each show at some point so it can be part of the Beeboverse.

Elasti Girl from the Doom Patrol is Beast Boy's adopted mother.

Just a different Earth like Supergirl

I thought I saw something where Geoff Johns said that Stargirl would be part of the same reality as Titans and Doom Patrol even though it would be much lighter in tone -- sort of like Legends of Tomorrow vs. Arrow, I guess, the fun side and the dark side of the same world.

^ Could this be what you saw?

“Right now, for me, Stargirl is its own show, with the Justice Society,” Johns said. That doesn’t mean we wouldn’t eventually do something like that. But, the goal is just to make a great Stargirlshow right now, and if it happens to interconnect in the future with other things, great. I love that it’s such a different tone than Titans and Doom Patrol that we’re working on, because [DC Universe] should have different kinds of shows. I think it’s important to have a diversity of tones instead of everything fitting the same tone. I wanted to do Stargirl for a variety of reasons, but part of it was because I wanted to do something fun and young.

“It’s PG-13, but it really is for everybody,” Johns continued, which makes us think that trailer will have no “F— Batman” moments. It is for adult fans like us, and it’s for kids. I think everybody will be able to watch Stargirl, which is part of the appeal of it, because you will have generations of heroes.”

That's the most recent thing I can find where Johns talks about Stargirl the series, and while it doesn't explicitly confirm anything, it also doesn't completely rule out the potential for interconnectivity, either.

For the rest of the world, it seems Netflix will release all the episodes at once after the US broadcast is done:

Does that include Canada?

I believe the announcement was everywhere outside of US and China, so I guess yes.

So basically if you are in the US and want to watch the Marvel netflix shows, Titans, and Star Trek Discovery you need to pay $8 month($11 for HD) for Netflix, $7.99 a month for DC Universe, and $9.99 a month for CBS Access. That's approx $26 to $29 a month(of course you could unsubscribe while shows are not airing)

Meanwhile if you were in England you could get Netflix at around $12 month and get all those shows.

And you wonder why illegal streaming happens.

 

[DigificWriter]

^ CBS All Access is only $9.99 s month if you want it commercial-free; otherwise it's $5.99 a month.

And the Netflix price tree is less about stream quality and more about the number of simultaneous devices you can access the service on.

On the other hand UK Netflix has less than half the content US Netflix does.
And UK Netflix is the biggest one in Europe, other countries often have less than half of that.

If these three shows are all you wanna watch then yeah, it's more convenient to be in Europe, but in general TV is still cheaper and more accessible in the US, especially if you don't keep ongoing subs and just sub for a month at a time to watch the shows you wanna watch.

People also steal cars and jewelry because they don't want to spend money on them. That doesn't make them justified.

Will give another shot to the second episode on my free trial, but at this point, looks like I'll be declining to subscribe.
As to the first episode, Grayson's character is all wrong. First, no modern young person would tolerate the nickname Dick, so he's either a fake or a fool. Second, nobody who was actually after only one child abuser would insist on taking him out of a crowd of friends. Detective Grayson is the kind of incompetent who arrests criminals in large crowds, and obviously shouldn't be a detective. Third, the boy on the trapeze is of absolutely no use to a magic woman, except the script says so. Grayson is mundane and doesn't fit into fairy tale horror. Idly standing on the safe side of the door while she's does all the work with magic tells us exactly what use Grayson is: None.

I thought the bizarre costume for the villain was a sign that sequence was a flashback, latterday Motown crossed with a little glam-rock, which was her cover.

You think Starfire is the villain?
