DC Live-Action TV and Film General News and Discussion Thread

[MrTerrorist]

In DC related news, the Swamp Thing TV series got cancelled despite favorable reviews by viewers. Rumors are it was cancelled either due to how expensive it was to make the show or fighting between the producers and TV execs with the former wanting the show to stick to it's Horror theme while the latter wanted it to be like the CW Arrowverse shows.

The little details could've been better. In the comics, during the fall out between the two, Dick still has more respect for Bruce/Batman than what we see in the show.

Yeah, but in this story Dick is just projecting his own issues about what he did to the guy that murdered his parents onto Bruce.

That's the twist. The show makes it seem like Bruce is an asshole to Dick when in reality Dick is the one with the problem.

Yes! Kevin Conroy will played an older Bruce Wayne for the CWverse's Crisis of Infinite Worlds.

So a voice of Batman gets to be Batman (sort of) on TV. Interesting.
And his Batman was one of the top notch Batmans done on TV or film.

Might as well ask Mark Hamill to do what he does best: be Joker.

[Kanon]

So they're allowed to use Batman now? Or just Bruce Wayne?

[Ithekro]

In Bruce's mind, there's no difference. He is Batman.

Though the news also mentions Burt Ward returning as Robin, so that's also a thing.

I read thats he's literally gonna be Batman Beyond's Bruce, so unless they do a full 180 and make him Dark Knight Returns Bruce they HAVE to at least name drop Terry.

Okay, I fell off of CWverse hard after the whole "Flash is in jail" nonsense season. When does this air?

I heard that him being Batman Beyond Bruce wasn't confirmed yet though...

Starting this December.

Awesome, thanks!

If it is Batman Beyond Bruce Wayne, a mention of Terry would indeed be nice.

I assume the cross-over will encompass Arrow, The Flash, Supergirl, and Batwoman and exclude the Legends once again. It will be a busy week, since I usually only watch The Flash among those.

Legends of Tomorrow will be a part of it.

I'm not sure if this belongs in this thread, but here's a review of The Kitchen movie...

.....which is adapted from DC Vertigo property:



Sounds like a big dud.

So five episodes to watch then? I suppose it's fitting for the biggest event in the verse yet. Apparently they're going to spread the episodes over two months instead of airing it all in the same week. Not sure how that's going to work.

And Brandon Routh will take up the mantle of (an alternate) Superman again. That's pretty cool.

Gotta have those cliffhangers.

Based on Kingdom Come, no less. I'm looking forward to that, and seeing Burt Ward again.

[Kanon]

Just learned that Tom Welling will also reprise his role from Smallville. Supermen everywhere!

[Chosen_Hero]

Just finished watching Doom Patrol and it was good, nothing amazing and I still can't believe half of the things I saw, but it was pretty good.

While all the characters where great, my least favorite has to definitely be Jane. The actress was great but the character was just annoying most of the time, I get that she went through some though shit but so did every other character and even with that they didn't weren't as annoying. At least by the end she kind of mellowed out... I think.

8.5/10

Birds of Prey's Ashley Scott Will Bring Huntress to the Arrowverse 'Crisis'

YES! I always love that show and was sad that it only had one season. In related crossover news, Michael Rosenbaum will not be reprising his role as Lex Luthor in the Crisis on Infinite Earths crossover.
