It's always batmanless shit the ones that never last

>>211832454
What about Gotham? That ran for five seasons.

>>211832382 (OP)
>>211832454

"We want a Batman TV show, but under no circumstances can Batman appear in it."

>>211834477
That show actually got fun once it embraced its weird campness and edginess mix. And it more or less abandoned the "Batman prequel" idea and just became a Batman show without Batman in it, just Bruce Wayne...still doing a lot of Batman stuff.

>>211835194
....where are the fucking tattoos then??

>>211834477
the female cast was such a goonfest
(except for baldie)

>>211835513
On the forearm, just above the wrist. Those yellowish triangle-ish badges.

Low-budget series produced by a couple of Second City vets, so there's humor and weird ideas buried among the wall-to-wall chintz. The "teenage" cast, all in their twenties, were personable and deserved better. Hard to binge because of the formulaic storytelling.

>>211835194
Those are the tattoos. They blinked in place of the watches the Power Rangers had that would teleport them to their base.

>>211832382 (OP)
What happened to that sequel series they backdoor piloted for arrow that's in the future? Was that this? Or did it never get made?

>>211836663
No that was supposed to be "Green Arrow & the Canaries", they backdoor piloted it in Season 8, but it didn't get picked up to series. The CW were winding down the Arrowverse at that stage and stopped greenlighting stuff.

Gotham Knights, from 2023, featuring the young successors to Batman trying to pick up the pieces in Gotham City after his apparent death, not to be confused with Gotham Knights, from 2022, featuring the young successors to Batman trying to pick up the pieces in Gotham City after his apparent death.

>>211836663
The one with the John Jr. who can't be the John Jr. from later because they were still in a Baby Sarah reality?

>>211837349
What the fuck is this autismo going on about?

This had a neat little premise and I remember being extremely confused as a young kid how they could just end a show on a cliffhanger

How about this one?

>>211832454
I thought Underworld had a tv show for second

>>211832382 (OP)
A show with only chimp actors.

>>211839112
This was a based show

This was my fav show when I was younger. I even have the S1 boxset on DVD.

>>211838381
Back then there were a huge amount of sci-fi or urban fantasy shows that had no budget for it that wrote it's lore specifically to be cheap, like all of the monsters looked like regular humans no make up even. The Invisible Man was the only of those shows that wrote lack of budget itself into it's lore. They spent most of the money on the transitioning into invisibility cgi so they wrote that the Agency spent it's whole budget on developing invisibility so now they have to leech of the budgets of other insignificant government agencies. Damn, it was a good show.

>>211834477
Gotham was good and I will not pretend it wasn't. It's silly, it's cheesy, it's clearly self-aware. The kid playing Bruce was a whiny faggot though, should have recast him, he doesn't have the chutzpah to be edgy without being too cringe

>>211841153
That woman actor, no clue who she is, but is pretty much anyways the worst part of anything I've seen her in.

>>211841500
Natalie Morales l think she was in an episode of this too
>>211841259

>>211841626
>>211841500
shes a lesbian so lesbian casting directors show horn her into anything
i agree she sucks big fat clits

>>211842069
yeah she was in another cancelled show a sitcom with the janitor from scrubs

>>211839979
Well put. I was a fan of all those kind of shows, but I-Man was one of the best. 'Understood the assignment'.

>>211842106
Don't forget the canceled sitcom with severance man and Craig Robinson. It was a silly paranormal investigator type show that retooled itself hard 3/4's into the first season into some shitty workplace comedy

>>211835513
Remember seeing this on USA one summer as a kid. Weird shit made to cash in on the power rangers craze of the 90s.
Was the cocaine better back in those days?

Everyone involved it its creation should be liquidated

>>211844735
so um... she's in his ass technically?

>>211832472
It did have Bruce Wayne though.

>>211841259
The cape was made from his dead son's blanket.

>>211834477
This show started out bad but eventually it became fun

>>211834477
this show was great

>>211841259
the CAPE

>>211847164
This was a good show. Lost steam by the last season or two but that's to be expected.

>>211834477
Carried hard by the Penguin's actor.

>>211845803
It shouldn't have. Show went to shit once that little turd started getting more screentime. Should have stayed a cameo and nothing else.

>>211832382 (OP)
Did you know batman's butler had his own show?

>>211850409
I heard it was decent

>>211850300
Doesn't Bruce spend most of his childhood away from Gotham in traditional Batman lore?

i have been looking for episode copies of this show for decades

Never watched this but CW advertised it something like every half hour for 6 months before it aired. Apparently it lasted 4 seasons.

>>211850297
I like how the HBO Penguin essentially retells the same story as the one in Gotham.

>>211832382 (OP)
CW took a fucking shit after Arrow ended. The only good show was Lois and Superman.

>>211851874
god just seeing her i wanna watch that shit

>>211851874
Like I don't even know what the fuck this show was or who this character is. But apparently she's beat Superman in a fight. So. Cool?

>>211851874
First season of this was good

>>211851874
They made everyone in this shit look so goofy. Also. Wildcat has a son already. He's also black. Why didn't they use him? Why did they give it to some tiny hispanic lady who doesn't even fit in the mask?

>>211834477
>>211832472
Gotham was better than any of the shit that was on while it was premiering. But i will always hate how rushed the finale was.
The watch parties on /co/ were so comfy.

They REALLY tried to make this show a thing by attaching it to Breaking Bad's final season

>>211847054
That actually had a spinoff which lasted two seasons.

>>211853180
ahahaaaaaaaa

>>211839051
That guy was Ryan Gosling’s best friend in Breaker High

Somehow this show had three seasons

Depends on the version of Batman, but typically yes.

You won't even remember half of these shows unless they pop up on Disney+'s front page.

tits, was it any decent or stylish atleast?

I actually really liked this show

Forgotten, underrated kino coming through

I’ve only ever heard chudcels say they liked this so it probably sucks

Yes. It’s a soulless ripoff for zoomers.

>>211854583
But somehow I doubt she has this figure in the TV show

>>211854622
Do you have one called Big Sneed on Campus

>>211854449
Oh yeah, Miss Tits who was supposed to be a kid so they dressed her in baggy clothes to disguise it

>>211854805
Well they are teens when they get their powers
But you know comic book teens so Dagger is still hot

>>211853180
Night Man is actually a comic book character from the 90s.
The guy who did the show just wanted to put his OC from the 80s into the current TV show he was producing, so it's not really a spin off.

Just... man. Wish I had that clip of Blackgar Boltar saying ouch and slightly pushing some cars back.
If Black Bolt said "ow" in the comics half a city block would be rubble.

>>211854489
>>211854196
I don't want to put Legion in this thread because the first season was good. But it also suffered the same problem. I mean just imagine. You have been given free reign to make your own X-Men show. You can literally go wild with prostethics and practical effects. These are people who are discriminated because they are visibly not human or have dangerous powers. So... what do you do? You give everyone the ability to be slightly faster/stronger than a human or make them shoot lasers from their hands. EVERY TIME.
Where's the Beasts? Where's the Nightcrawlers? Hell where are the Blobs?

>>211855383
This all I have

>>211855575
Yep. Amazing. Also Black Bolt has trained so he wouldn't even grunt if he's hit. Because he knows he could kill everybody. Fucking hell. This era of Marvel was filled with some of the sloppiest slop ever. Nobody even talks about pic related or The Defenders.

Don't. You're going to try to convince me this show was good for the twentieth time and I don't want to hear it. The only reason it gets any praise is because it was on HBO and no body cares aside form that.

>>211855739
First season was good

>>211855977
Geez

>>211832382 (OP)
>Dude what if Batmans son dated Joker's Daughter?!
They shouldve bitten the bullet and given us Gotham High at worst they spend way less money on a cartoon people forget. At best they end up with Teen Titans style sleeper hit

>>211856556
Why would all Batman's villains be at the same school as him and already be mostly in their villain forms?

I was baited hard into this one. The idea of shit happening in the show and game at the same time was so kino to me. Too bad both were dogshit.

>>211856834
Was this some crappy MMO or something? I can't remember

>>211856694
Worked for Smallville.

>>211856905
Yeah, kind of. It was a persistent FPS. I remember showing up at walmart at midnight for the release and some wagie had to go digging around in the warehouse to find them. It was one of my most shameful gaming moments.

>set the show in the DC universe

Truly a baffling choice. I guess maybe it was some kind of rights issue or… something? If any actual DC characters show up and I’m mistaken it must have been well after I dropped it

>>211858220
Well thats what Agents of SHIELD did. A character looks out the window and goes "look! Its Iron Man". Gripe all you will about CW's shows and HBO's but seeing actual costumes was such a novelty. And the fact that it degressed back to >>211832382 (OP)
is dissappointing. I don't know if any other shows will have the balls to do it. Even the Penguin didn't let him wear a monocle or carry an umbrella. I guess that Iron Maiden show?

>>211856556
I mean....some of these guys are the result of tragic accidents as adults...this makes zero sense whatsoever. And Batman is going to public school? With Barbera???

>>211858401
>Gripe all you will about CW's shows

They had their faults but I’m not going to knock them for actually having costumed heroes and shelling out for the occasional CGI psychic gorilla

>>211858485
This. They were crap I would never waste time on, but at least they were earnest, real, superhero shows. True descendants of the old Bixby and Lynda Carter series.

>>211850666
i remember being intrigued by the original premise, it was originally pitched as a workplace comedy set in the DC Universe about an insurance company that specializes in superhero related damages to property. I thought it sounded funny, but the final product was unrecognizable from the original trailers

>>211854196
>lets make a show about the x-men but include none of the x-men people know

>>211856556
the porn of this would have been great

Here's that Live Action Incredibles bro

cartoon network made a ghost hunting show for kids. i remember watching the first episode. i would have been 10 or 11 years old, and even then i thought it was retarded

>>211858485
Some of the shows sucked but some sucked and then became good by embracing certain aspects, or the opposite. Arrow for instance went downhill the more romance they focused on. Legends of Tomorrow started out boring then became good when they shifted into weird comedy and got more and more bizarre. They also learned to lean on their best cast members and drop the dead weight.

>>211852228
more like Low Winter Ratings

>>211854196
I marathoned this a few months ago. Was actually decent for what it was. The attempts at woke were so bad and hilarious it didn't ruin the show; just made it more entertaining.

>>211858838
why is Satan suplexing a giant baby Sully from monsters inc?

>>211858838
I've tried rewatching Arrow. Its a terrible feeling knowing where it goes in the future seasons and dreading it. Every show between 2015 and 2023 is incredibly difficult to watch as the woke shit is outdated the second you hear it. By the time they had a show for every day of the week they all had to have a gay relationship, a lesbian relationship, a black guy, a strong woman, and every plot was less about superhero stuff and more about taking a shot at Trump
https://youtu.be/tzPQkm9_tPc?si=abZiGHqgHgCRpFAg

>>211854273
Isn't there a scene where the black guy from a well-off family lectures the homeless drug addict chick on her white privilege

>>211858838
They also did some good meta humor

>>211859201
Batwoman in particular was fucking insane. By season 2 literally no character had any connection to Batman or the original Batwoman. And yet for some reason they decided to keep making Alice a thing because she was that show's Joker. Thats what happens when you focus on woke shit and forego the things that comic fans like.

>>211859348
Oh yeah, Alice who was the archnenemy of Ruby Rose's Batwoman and was her long lost sister or something or other, then for no reason she is still treated like the archenemy of the black Batwoman even though it's a totally different person she doesn't even know.

>>211834477
In the first season this show didn't know what it wanted to be, seemed torn between trying to be a realistic police procedural or a superhero show. From the second season onwards they embraced the cheesy superhero elements and committed to playing everything straight, no winking at the camera to try to play off how silly it is with a joke or anything like that. It actually turned out pretty good. Better than anything the CW put out.

>>211832382 (OP)
For some reason my favourite character, Two-Face made it onto this show. Better than Gotham's who only showed up 4 episodes.

>>211859348
>urge to replace redheads with blacks is so powerful they did it mid show airing
The ginger to nigger pipeline is real

>>211859201
...implying America was Grodd?

Someday I'll watch this shit. But I'm still shocked it happened.

>>211859508
I remember this guy apologizing for not being gay because he was getting hate from fujos

>>211859178
It would take far too long to explain.
But know that the devil villain was voiced by John Noble, and while watching The Return of the King on their time travelling ship, the heroes noticed the villain sounded a lot like John Noble, so they time travelled to 1999 in New Zealand to the set of LOTR where John Noble was in his trailer in his full Denethor outfit, and they had him read out some false orders to the villain's henchmen under the guise of new script pages from a rewrite.

>>211859481
Also it had oddly high quality production for network TV, like really stylized moody lighting and sets with a lot of personality.

>>211859751
don't waste your time

>>211858824
This thread could be filled with the CNReal era of shows.
>i have great idea! lets not make cartoons on the Cartoon Network
How was the person who suggested that not immediatley fired?

Do you guys seriously have nostalgia for shitty CW capeshit shows?

>>211859843
Like at the same time, The Flash was on with that super bland concrete room they had as their base that they spent half of every episode in, then Gotham is over here with sets like this in every second scene

>>211859910
Honestly. No. Smallville, Arrow Season 1 and 2, and The Flash Season 1 were the last time I was hyped to see shit. But like I said. knowing they eventually just become garbage with no redeeming qualities makes it unappealing to sit through and embarassing to have ever watched.

At the same time there are no new shows like that on the horizon. Literally everything DC depends on how well the Gunnverse does and Marvel isn't trying at all.

>>211859843
Would you live in Nygma's apartment?

>>211860067
The Flash became so predictable. And every other Arrowverse show followed its footsteps
>Superhero is chasing a villain of the week
>character A fucks up and the villain escapes
>Character B pulls Character A into a Hallway
>Character A yells at Character B "I can't do this!"
>turns out they're unfocused because of relationship/trauma/mind control/poison
>villain attacks again
>Character A remembers something Character B said in the Hallway
>focuses and gets the villain.
I'm not even joking. There are times when someone would unironically go "Barry. Hallway. Now!" After Barry snaps at them. It was so formulaic.

>>211860269
looks like shit. way too brightly lit and the decor is stupid. its supposed to be the house of a manic obsessive-complusive narcissist not a hipster

>>211860269
Thats the same fortune machine from Batman Forever

>>211860347
Also take a shot for every time the villain gets away from Flash despite him having superspeed. Like just runs off screen and he stands there looking glum.

>>211860406
Correct.

>>211860347
>>211860486
i remember season 1 and 2 being really good

>>211860361
That's because it's a photo of the set, it's not lit for actual filming.

>>211837767
>how they could just end a show on a cliffhanger
I remember waiting for a season 2 that never came.

>>211860556
Season 1 WAS good, it was fresh and fun in that it embraced being a comic book show instead of trying to be edgy faux-TDK, had a great villain, and since it was Flash at the beginning of his career it had a good sense of progression for his powerset. It started fucking it up with some decisions in Season 2, then went off the rails with dumb and repetitive writing in Season 3 and never recovered.

>>211860519
>>211860347
The first time this happens is in Arrow. And its Felicity who gets overwhelmed because a serial killer has fucked up her tracking. So she has a mental breakdown and the bad guy escapes.
And at first its like, "yeah thats a realistic depiction of what it might be like". But then they keep doing it. All the time.

>>211860808
the reveal that he was a eobard all along was really well done and actually caught me by surprise. it feels like tv shows don't do big twists and reveals like that anymore

>>211859843
They did definitely aim for a distinctive look for the show, something that the CW ones really fell off on and just had that super bland clean empty look

>>211859751
Do it so you can be mad with the rest of us and dunk on retards who claim it's good, or in any way faithful to the original

>>211861089
Superman and Lois looked great too.
And that Syfy Krypton show.

>>211832382 (OP)
Oh btw I'm adding Krypton to this thread. Dunno what DC was smoking in the late 2010's but there were so many shows that just...existed.

>>211861643
This is correct, saw their version of the Man of Steel esque fight and it looked really good for TV.

>>211861724
yeah that sure looks like an outfit they'd wear on Krypton...

>>211861643
Also Swamp-Thing. Sadly got fucked over by unrelated state politics making it no longer viable to continue, they had greenlighted it based on tax breaks for North Carolina, then suddenly they didn't have those because of changes. So it was basically cancelled before it even finished production of its first season and just aired what was made.

>>211832454
I think rights issues stemming from the 60s Batman show prevent there being a live-action show that's straight up about Batman even if he can be a supporting role

>>211861643
Looks a billion times better than the Gunn movie.

>>211861643
They also did an accurate rendition of Doomsday, unlike...every single other live action version.

>>211855870

they more or less did this in the comics. I mean she's not Joker's daughter but same visual.

>>211858458
Barbara was originally introduced as around Bruce's age so that's probably the least egregious part.

>>211861891
Gnarly show

Technically it was the slums. They do wear the classic robes from the Donnor movie too.

>>211850409
First season was actually great, second was almost shit and third was not bad.

>>211851556
that wasn't bad
I expected something like Fallout, I had Little House on the Prairie with nukes

>>211834477
BD Wong chewing scenery as Hugo Strange was great. Riddler and Penguin were absolutely carrying the show by later on as well.

>>211850782
It was actually pretty good by the end.

>>211864612
And Zsasz, really fun take on the character, usually he's made into a pretty dull generic psycho in adaptations, this one was completely different as a nonchalant killer for hire who didn't care one bit about all the melodrama and feuds between all the villains, just did his job as a henchman with no fuss.

>>211852204
Agreed

>>211858572
I sang the theme song (of this show) to my mom at my wedding during the mother son dance.
She cried the whole dance.

Everyone has to be generically enthusiastic about corporate approved socially progressive events.

>>211865234
The lube show?

>>211851968
She was an OC created by Bendis (who made Miles Morales, the black Spider-Man you see pushed everywhere).

DC/WB thought Bendis could make a Miles for them for Twitter to love.

>>211852204
The whole fifth season was pretty rushed, I don't think the showrunners had intended it to be the final season, and it got cut to half the episodes of the previous four to boot. They'd obviously been expecting to have a full season of the No Man's Land adaptation set up at the end of S4.

Boy that is some turnaround from debut to self-titled live action series. Not even connected to any Arrowverse or other DC TV show, just straight from comic to standalone TV show. Even reasonably recent characters like Stargirl were around nearly twenty years before getting their own TV show, those sorts of secondary and tertiary characters are normally just guest spots or recurring roles in longer running superhero shows, like Smallville or The Flash or whichever.

Even mentions it was first announced as being in development in December 2020, not even two years after the character's first appearance.

>>211865404
That’s definitely what happened. It is also why Manbat was cut despite being teased. They didn’t have the budget for him after the cut.

>>211865262
That’s touching, anon.

Why wasn't his the Arkham Knight follow up? I mean it's shit, but nowhere as shitty as SS:Kill The Justice Goys.

>>211865788
WB and DC Comics really wanted their own Miles Morales or Riri (and don’t wanna use Static for some reason).

>>211839346
Now this one ended on a downer with everybody getting unceremoniously killed off, right?

>>211845126
The real reason why Terry chose euthanasia.

>>211859816
I could never come up with something like this

>>211850409
Why in the fuck did they turn it into a prequel to V For Vendetta? That was NEVER supposed to be take place in any DC universe

>>211865757
Which didn't even make sense because they had to hastily explain why there even was Batman on the Justice League team in Suicide Squad at all when Batman had been publicly exposed and seemingly committed suicide at the end of Arkham Knight (bar the golden ending showing a post-credits of a mysterious demonic looking bat figure in Gotham...which was not followed up on in any way in Suicide Squad). It just had to say actually Batman is alive and he's just Batman again as normal.

Then of course they copped out exactly as we all knew they would by having the Justice League turn out to be Brainiac clones and not the real Justice League, who were rescued by the end of the DLC storylines. What a way to waste nine years of Rocksteady on a GaaS that had the GaaS part unsuccessfully stripped out after increasing backlash to that model of video game.

>>211866039
Yes, because it was meant to be a cliffhanger for them to be resurrected via time travel in the next season. But they didn't get a next season so that's the ending, everyone fuckin dies and the villain wins.

>>211854196
I still can't believe they actually rebooted Mutant X. The absolute MADMEN.

>>211854251
The comic was so good tho. (Up until the original writer left and passed it off to Whedon)

>>211857043
If it’s cause of wanting to goon to julie Benz you’re forgiven.

>>211861891
It that supposed to be the Floronic Man or Swampy himself? Good if former, absolute shite if later. Also, why no Matt Ryan Constantine as part of the ensemble?

>>211859178
They cast a spell to fight the big demon that combined the team into a single mighty form. There was a running gag throughout that season of this Furbie type talking toy, Beebo, starting with them finding one dropped in the past being worshipped by an early Viking tribe that thought it was a real creature, and it popped up a few more times. Then Ghostbusters style, the form the heroes took was taken from their minds, and one of them had Beebo on the brain so they manifested as a gigantic version of the toy. This was the climax of the third season.

In a period where Arrow and Flash were bogged down by maudlin relationship drama and a miserable tone, Legends of Tomorrow really started standing out for how bonkers it was.

>>211866440
That's the Floronic Man. This was Swamp-Thing.

I only watched I think two episodes, it was sadly really boring, outside of Matt Ryan being really good as Constantine, just pitch perfect casting. The good news is they folded him into the Arrowverse and he got to reprise the role as a guest star on Arrow, and the later on as a regular on Legends of Tomorrow. Plus voiced him in a few DC animated features.

One funny side effect of him moving from NBC to the CW, is the CW had a rule about smoking, namely that you couldn't show it. This was a slight issue given Constantine is an iconic chain smoker. So they got around it by simply not having him visibly smoke on camera. They could show him WITH a cigarette and his zippo lighter, even about to light it, and either having him interrupted or cutting to another scene, or having obviously just finished one and is stubbing it out on the ground. Later on they had him cut back on his smoking in-universe after a brush with lung cancer, but he'd still have a pack he'd pull one out of now and then.

Silly, but gotta dodge round those corporate mandates.

>>211866466
Maybe I should have kept watching, think I stopp d season 2. I just remember the he prison break guys and a time ship. I would watch it on my 2nd monitor. Think I stopped flash after he ran up the concrete tornado or the king shark, can’t remember.

>>211866815
Yeah was really disappointed by this despite loving Hellblazer. One day we'll get a good Constantine adaption bros

>>211866251
Mutant X had a very interesting history of Marvel themselves trying to decouple Fox from X-Men so they greenlit a show that is literally just X-Men but just not in name. So they obviously sued by Fox Even Tribune the showrunners sued Marvel themselves for basically funding them to make a show in bad faith where it's technically X-Men to spite Fox buying the rights to X-Men years ago.

>>211865387
Has Bendis created a character people like? And who's cock is he sucking to get them all onto the small screen?
>Miles Morales
>Riri Williams
>Naomi

>>211868809
There was only ever one season of Heroes worth a damn. Why make a reboot with what looks like one returning character?

>>211865635
Carrie Kelly is there.

>>211861636
Not total shit ≠ good, chud.

>>211869306
Jessica Jones maybe? I'll say Miles Morales is a character people sincerely like now but it's more because of the Spiderverse movies than his own writing of him.

He also ruined Superman's son Jonathan Kent, turning a character people did like into something nobody liked so he's got that feather in his cap.

>>211869522
>>211869306
also Ultimate Peter Parker if you count that was basically the only good thing about the original Ultimates Universe.

>>211832382 (OP)
>the most underrated TV show of all time that no one talks about
has anyone seen this? I've yet to see it discussed here. best TLDR I can give is American Psycho if he was composed 100% the time.

>>211851968
>But apparently she's beat Superman in a fight. So. Cool?
CWverse Superman was a massive giga jobber who only existed to get his ass kicked by Supergirl and then talk about how much better she was than him. I'm not even exaggerating at all. He verbatim says shit like "I was at full strength and you beat me. You are so much better than I ever will be."

>>211865387
>DC/WB thought Bendis could make a Miles for them for Twitter to love.
fucking bullshit when they have Static and barely use him for anything.

>>211854567
>joshua from First Wave
kino

>>211852228
and it worked. to make me watch it at least, not a bad show.

>>211839219
>>211839346
great taste. loved these

>>211865788
What was WB even thinking with that shit? People were gonna come in droves for some girl no one heard of? By the time Batwoman started premiering the CW had like no audience. But they were still greenlighting shows like Nancy Drew, Sabrina the teenage Witch, Naomi, and Stargirl. If I recall more people were hate watching it or watching the grifter reviews on YouTube than the actual show. And its funny because the one time they decided to pump the brakes was for that live action PowerPuff Girls show

>>211853448
GIMME THAT LEG, BOY!

>>211869591
The last time they used Static was that final season of Young Justice. A shame he never got in the Black Lightning Show. I would've been hyped for that.
>>211869522
I remember first hearing about Jessica Jones. I thought it was Spider-Woman for some reason.

>>211832382 (OP)

>>211869583
Might check it out.

>>211832472
Gotham was shit but fun to watch in a “holy crap this is awful” way. Also it had hot chicks in it.

>>211869813
pasdar is extremely underrated

Man, Sealab got really weird towards the end.

>>211853761
Is that fucking Fez?

>>211869522
Jessica Jones only created because DC wouldn't let him write Chase so he made a knockoff, so I can't really give him credit for that one.

>>211869810
I always thought it was a shame that Vanessa Angel wasn't a bigger star than she was.

first season was actually really great
i gave up on s2 after a few episodes

>>211861901
How many Superman shows did we had in the last 30 years? And not one Batman which you'd think would be cheaper to produce.

>>211855870
Fuck you, that was absolute kino. Lynch wishes he could make this show.

>>211870712
Like that Anon said it's speculated to be a rights issue where WB doesn't actually own the live action television rights to Batman due to NBC and thus Disney owning it from the Adam West show.

It kind of makes sense since Batman hasn't actually starred in any show since the Adam West show. Bruce Wayne can show up, and occasionally you'll get a half-second shot of a guy in a Bat costume like the end of Gotham, but you won't actually get Batman, in a Batman costume running around as a normal character in any of them like you will Superman. Same with the Joker, even the clown guy in Gotham wasn't actually the Joker.

>>211870870
ABC not NBC*

>>211870712
Because they tried and it was a flop. It was just as gay and busted as most other goyslop. And boring in general. It's gonna be hard to top Christoper Nolan's trilogy too.

>>211870921
they've never tried since the Adam West show. Gotham and other shit doesn't count since Batman isn't actually in it.

>>211866179
They even named the episode "Guest star John Noble" and i din't see it coming.

>>211866206
Don't forget that SS Deadshot was black when Arkham City Deadshot was white and they had to explain that the black one is real and the white one was fake.

>>211871000
which I assume they presumably did because Will Smith played Deadshot when they could've just used the Deadshot knockoff, Bloodsport, that Idris Elba played in James Gunn's Suicide Squad and it would've been a more relevant tie-in on top of that since his movie is the one with King Shark.

WB really is retarded.

>>211866466
And giant Beebo was their second attempt, first was this the Thing looking amalgamation of flesh of several people that Mick immediately burned to ashes.

>>211866815
His show got better and better with each episode and by the end of it there was not a single scene with him where he wasn't smoking... and that's because the studio abandonned the show in the middle of the production without telling anyone and simply didn't bother to yank the leash of the production team.

>>211871060
Because of Will Smith's SS movie they had to kill the SS plotline in Arrow that they spent half a season preparing for and even killed Arrow version of Deadshot and Waller.

>>211871334
>killed arrowverse waller
that was for the best. Waller has to be fat. no skinny bitch can be the Wall, it just isn't right.

>>211854719
Bitch was older than actors who played teachers. As the show went on it got even more prominent.

Bet none of you have seen this. It was certainly different. Watched most episodes cos I found the chocolate milf to be quite funny & sexy.

>>211835194
WITNESS ME

>>211861891
Swamp thing was great. Had a great aesthetic. My favorite color is green btw.

>>211834477
Quit when they did the gay stuff, same with Black Sails.

>>211861724
Krypton was underrated purely from a design point. Great looking Doomsday (better than BvS) and Brainiac

You now remember the live-action Generation X movie/failed TV pilot from the 90s with Emma Frost and Jubilee

>>211869882
Jeez. I'm impressed actually. I was wondering why most characters weren't even the same race as him. Did he make Kamala Khan too?

>>211851556
>starring skeet ulrich
>the poor man's stephen dorff

>>211855349
oh okay

The 70s Spider-Man show (which was also edited into 3 feature length films).

In the 70s-90s they also made failed pilots or tv movies of

>Dr. Strange
>Captain America
>Nick Fury
>Power Pack
>Generation X

And more Im probably forgetting

>>211850666
>the first comedy from DC
we were laughing at DC way before that show

>>211850409
Is Pennyworth Irish in that universe? Why is he bringing down the royal house?

Swamp Thing got a live-action show and animated series in the 90s

>>211859751
It's honestly not worth the effort, man. At least Snyder's film had good costumes and otherwise made an effort. This is just some fag trying to reskin contemporary American ideology in one of the few comic books worth reading. It's directly comparable to the debacle of the Wachowski's crime against V for Vendetta.

>>211847164
Decided to rewatch this last week and I did NOT remember how much of a prick everyone was, especially Nathan. Also way hornier than I remembered.

>>211873827
>Why is he bringing down the royal house?
Not him, the bad guys tried. he did fucked the Queen though, or rather she fucked him

>>211845126
>>211870096
>you want Sam to fall for an overweight, bald middle-aged lady who spends most of her time arranging charity dinners and taking care of dragons, since she's a parody of British aristocracy who do the same thing except with horses? NO, WE MUST MAKE HER SEXY AND BATMAN SO HE HAS A REASON TO LOVE HER

>>211873595
And the Justice League one.

>>211873804
Wasn't there another similar show airing at the same time and they had a crossover episode?

>>211874005
I'd watch this over snydershit

>>211860269
decor done by a true madman

>>211850297
He was probably the one character I kinda liked, but since he wasn't a fat ugly bastard, I just kinda dropped the show.

>>211839051
That guy in the middle were in so fucking many failed sci-fi/fantasy shows that it's kind of ridiculous. It's like he was cursed.

>>211839112
The first episode I ever saw of this was the one where the balding sidekick was going to his high school reunion and I thought it was really interesting to have a show where the guy who looks like a leading man is the one providing tech help from the base while the nerdy one is out in the field. I still kind of wish that was true.

This was cozy and deserved more episodes.

>>211854287
That 100% looks like a porno.

It was okay

>>211855870
I like it because of the carnival angle, it being on HBO doesn't matter at all. We need more carnival stories, man. Especially taking place during the great depression or earlier. You don't even need the supernatural stuff, just make a story about the hardships of managing a travelling circus and dealing with both camp politics and town politics along your route. That stuff is interesting enough when you can have such a colourful cast of trained professionals, societal outcasts and cripples trying to make a living together.


or make me a videogame where I get to do it myself

This fan art was almost turned into a real show.

15+ years later and we do have all these weird Batman prequels, spin-offs about Alfred's origin, the Harley Quinn cartoon and shit.

>>211845126
>>211870096
I am going to hunt down and kill everyone who had a hand in this

>>211856834
>>211857043
I didn't even know about the videogame until season 2 came out and it went free to play, I think. I'll give them props for actually having a varied set of aliens that were actually people in elaborate costumes and with distinct customs that was important to the plot, instead of just regular humans with spiky eyebrow ridges or some shit that basically all other shows do.

>>211850409
>>211866195
how the fuck is it both a prequel to Gotham AND V for Vendetta?

i get it's some vaguely steampunk/weird fiction alternative history London, that COULD be V For Vendetta, but then the world of Gotham is just the V for Vendetta setting?
flashbacks to young Falcone in Mexico with the Mexico filter, the piss-yellow sky was ackshyually the result of a bomb? get to fuck.

>>211860269
what's with the completely uneven table?

>>211859866
This one is an interesting story. Remember the Aqua Teen Hi ger Force Boston Bomb scare? It has to do with that.

Basically, most of Cartoon Network's success was due to one man, Jim Staples. Not only did he pioneer most of the original programming for CN's golden years, but he was the main reason Space Ghost: Coast to Coast and, by proxy, Adult Swim, came to be.
With Cartoon Network sitting solidly in first for children's cable rankings AND having a strong foothold in late night entertainment, CN was on top of the world.
Then, they announced an Aqua Teen Hunger Force movie. And they hired some guys to viral market it.

This leads to the ATHF Boston Bomb scare. Despite Jim Staple's success, he took the grenade for CN and took the blame himself, leaving the company. With a major vacuum in the driving force of their creative executives, a man named Stuart Snyder stepped in to Staples' role and said "what if we did REAL PEOPLE?"

So basically, Cartoon Network's slow death was due to people from Boston being fucking morons.

>>211865589
LOOK INTO THE FUTURE, WHAT DO YOU SEEEEE

That intro took a definite step down in quality when they changed the singer.

By the way, this attempted revival of Heroes is ten years old

>>211873930
Loved it, tried watching the original but it was too much of the 60s for me, as in the way it was shot and other stuff like that.

Watch the last episode of the season and season 3, it's worth it

>>211876266
>cast a tiny chick as the tall werewolf
>cast a big dude as the dwarf
>don't even give the dwarf chainmail
It must have been tanked on purpose, surely?

>>211873595
Why is Jubilee white?

>>211876247
sure

>>211874913
It's a bench

>>211876335
They should have cast the little chick as the dwarf, she's already small and you know, female.

>>211876390
What's with the completely uneven bench?

How about brittish live action isekai?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xia2VRoPb2I

>>211876403
Should done that, had all the promo shots be of her in regular clothes and then when she show starts she's always in leather and chainmail with an axe, then slowly transforms into more feminine leather and chainmail, with a really realistic fake beard throughout. Keep making the audience expect her to shave her beard in some final moment of acceptance but it never happens because she's a dwarf dammit. You know, stay truer to Pratchett's story instead of making up a second big human guy raised by dwarves like Carrot, but this one's also trans for some reason and Sam being the only character with a beard despite him being described as shaving or having stubble all the time.

This Canadian show ran for one 14-episode season on Fox.

>>211869783
She WAS supposed to be Spider-Woman when Bendis pitched the comic (Alias, the first Marvel Universe book with an R-rating) but the editors didn't let him so he just made up an OC. Still managed to have her appear later tho.

>>211876859
People concentrate heavily on the "Bendis wants blacks!" aspect but they don't look enough at the "Bendis wants royalties" aspect, which is a lot more cynical. He makes royalties from how hard Miles is pushed now, he was trying to do the same with this Naomi. Of course he made this character then immediately went about trying to get a TV show made of her.
