The DC Movie & TV Thread

Black Lightning Ep. 1 x 09 Thoughts:

I’m glad the Black Lightning crew got RockB to make a cameo in the most recent episode.

DAT ASS DOE! (rofl)

I still cant believe they had Anissa reveal the secret to Jennifer in only the 9th episode of a first season. If it was another DC CW shows, they would have waited 4 seasons lol.

I like this faster paced storytelling.
Maybe bc its only 13 episodes or maybe the showrunners being different than the other DC CW is the cause.

I like Anissa’s costume better than BL. The gold color is nice.

This is the first episode where the mom had a good role in consoling Jennifer instead of “wet blanket”

I haven't been attracted to any of the comic book-based TV series, but maybe Black Lightning will be the first one I try. People online seem to be loving it. I'll wait for ep 13 and then binge.

She didn't turn them down... Marvel wouldn't give her full control to implement her hotep, batshit crazy "diversity" ideas into Black Panther, and went with Ryan Coogler instead.

That's she turned them down. Don't get it twisted.

In reference to what @Darc_Requiem says about Brainiac...

I recall that at some point that Brainiac is roughly as strong as any other Kryptonian, but is completely offset by his weaknesses: Sensory overload and his implied germophobic tendencies (the latter is inconsistent).

Anyone watching Krypton? Only two episodes so far and the show has been ok. Nothing terribly interesting is happening in the show just yet. The set design for the show is superb.

Darc_Requiem · March 29, 2018

Yeah I have been checking it out. It's solid so far. Agree with you on the set design. They clearly took the Krypton design language from Man of Steel. Even people that didn't like the movie, liked that interpretation of Krypton.

Zod (the mother) is one of the Amazon's from Wonder Woman. Sister is jacked. It's like Gabrielle Union hit the weight room. Seg El's arranged bride looks like a young Charlize Theron. I'm sure @Maxx would be a fan. Poor Barristan Selmy got Merc'd in the pilot. He lasted longer in Game of Thrones. I have no clue who the Voice of Rao is. I was thinking Brainiac at first, but he would not take that long destroy Krypton.

Gotham remains my favorite of the current DC TV shows

Cameron Monaghen plays a very good Joker even though Jerome technically isn't suppose to be him.

Never got into Gotham. Watched a bit of a season 1. It was okay but it didn't hook me.

The show was a police procedural during season one. It started to embrace the goofy and over the top elements of the Batman mythos starting with season 2 and it's been better for it.
