    The Snyder Cut stuff is the funnest joke in the world

    It's got two punchlines and they're both funny

    1) There is no Snyder Cut, because why would there be a whole separate cut of a movie that's essentially just an entire movie in and of itself

    2) There is a Snyder Cut, and it's bad, because it's a Zach Snyder DC movie and so of course it's bad

    #2: If it does exist, and it gets released, not a one of them will admit this.
    Like, if it was food, you could set it before them and half will take a bite, gag, and then choke the rest of it down, forcing big fake smiles and a strained "delicious!"
    Meanwhile, the other half - the ones with no taste buds at all - would be too busy shoveling the garbage down their gullets to say anything.

    Also because a lot of the people that want a cut are Snyder fans and already genuinely think his work is good

    Per Deadline, Brandon Routh will be reprising his role as Superman as part of the Arrowverse Crisis on Infinite Earths crossover

    I'm excited simply for the dialogue that will occur between him, Melissa Benoist, and Rory.
    I'm really interested in whether it's going to be Superman, or just Ray in a Superman suit and very confused.

    The next two DC Animated Movies, following this year's Hush adaptation, got announced. Superman: Red Son and Superman: Man of Tomorrow.

    The former is an adaptation of the comic and the latter is an original story set in Superman's early days

    "Why me?"
    "Look, Clark's... not available right now, so you're the closest thing we've got. It'll be fine! Just keep smiling!"
    *deeply skeptical look*
    "... you're not smiling."

    It's said he's playing Superman, not just a joke with him in the costume

    I read on one article, I don't know how valid it is or have the link, but it said he'll be playing an "older somewhat kingdom come-like Superman"

    I assume it is what the director is asking for but Jason O'Mara's work in these animated films is awful. It comes across as entirely one note, there is little to no humanity in the performance. I'm 22 minutes into Hush and it's getting really distracting.

    It's a shame because some of the combat animation is really good here.

    EDIT: It's weird because every other voice seems the complete opposite. There's nothing spectacular, except maybe Damien insisting his father use protection with Catwoman and cover his drink.

    OMG. Batman and Catwoman just had sex. She's all "I don't know if it was worth the wait, because I don't like to wait, but it was"

    And in the flattest possible tone, Batman responds "I feel the same", like he's humouring the guy at the water cooler about his political views. It's so bad it's actively hurting the film for me.

    Nah Kingdom Come is still extremely well loved by and large

    I don't think it is, like, an unassailable classic, but I like it a fair bit

    kingdom come is weird to read outside its time period and what it is reacting to

    not that it isn't still good as hell but reading it outside of PEAK NINETIES takes some of it away

    Diedrich Bader is returning as Batman for the Harley Quinn animated series

    Kaley Cuoco is Harley Quinn

    The rest of the cast features Wanda Sykes, Alan Tudyk, Christopher Meloni, JB Smoove, Natalie Morales, Ron Funches, Jim Rash and more

    Here's the first look

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBBvIyGqQYI


    #HarleyQuinn is super violent and vulgar and funny and ridiculous. Dig it. Maybe the most F-bombs I've ever heard in a single half hour. Poison Ivy is my favorite character. @lakebell *crushes* that character. #DCUHarleyQuinn
    Wow. Just watched the #HarleyQuinn pilot at #SDCC and it’s not like anything we have ever seen. It’s absolutely hysterical. Violent, bloody, and the voice cast is great.

    Look, it's been a while since I read Kingdom Come, but almost none of it worked for me. HOWEVER: it's neat that they're bringing it in for Crisis on Infinite Earths (though Brandon Routh seems way too young to pull off Kingdom Come Superman)

    So the collected edition for the next arc of Superman (where Jon joins the Legion) hit Amazon and contains a bit that hasn't been revealed yet

    Superman is elected President of Earth

    I am assuming this means he is elected as Earth's first representative in the founding body of the United Planets as Bendis has been building to that being founded since issue #1 rather than Superman being, like, actively in charge of everything but who knows!

    It may be something like how the Doctor (as of Ten, I believe) has been officially appointed as President of Earth, on the basis that when he shows up and announces himself, it's because the planet is facing some existential threat (again) that only he's really equipped to deal with and/or coordinate the response to.

    Last night I finished the first season of The New Adventures of Lois and Clark.

    Lex Luthor slowly (and secretly) corrupts and destroys every element of support in Lois Lane's life so that she will be pushed into accepting his marriage proposal.

    Superman shows up just in time to watch as she eventually accepts it.

    Superman's response? He flies all the way up to the arctic and just starts screaming so loudly the residents of Metropolis can hear him.

    And then, surrounded only by ice, he cries.

    To my surprise I have discovered that I am so uncomfortable with the idea of the Joker as a sexual being that I find him getting hit in the groin kinda off-putting.

    I mean, I can watch Harley kick the shit out of him all the live long day.

    To the point way back when they first announced Suicide Squad, I assumed that would be the climax of the film
