so they're doing what Disney do and take characters who get twitter buzz and make cheap disposable slop shows nice

Sounds bad.

>>212744065 (OP)
no one wants a Jimmy Olsen spinoff!

>>212744065 (OP)
The terrifics show would be kino.

>>212744065 (OP)
WB needs to chill with this shit. Even MCU's series were a money pit

It was over before it began

>>212744065 (OP)
Terrific was one of the best parts of the movie, but his character is still just lame as fuck. He can't carry a lead.

>>212744065 (OP)
Skyler Gisondo is relentlessly handsome.

>>212744138
>more like manufacture Twitter buzz then get shocked when it bombs

>>212744065 (OP)
my nigga isn't going to let anyone HBO-Max him

>>212744138
DC trying to copy MCU 10 years ago made a bit of sense but now they're copying the stagnant quip-filled decline even after Disney's lost so much money on their streaming slop. I hope they poach Taika Cohen next

I hate James Gunn's DCU

>>212744171
short kings do

>>212745227
Well, you're gonna have at least ten years to get used to it.

>>212744065 (OP)
A Mr Terrific show I vaguely get. Jimmy Olsen would be what? Him talking to offscreen Clark and Lois and getting non conned by hot girls?

>>212744328
Wow, I'm so sick of the lack of narrative focus and absence of a central mystery. They should establish some kind of overarching thing in the first entry. We shouldn't have to wait 10 fucking years to see "where" the story leads...

You take a show like Game of Thrones, which contains all the narratives in one place, and that works great. Why not just do a DCU single TV series that goes to different places per episode? That way you have just one series to keep track of?

Whatever fuck Hollywood.

Gunn’s movie is pretty bad but it would make for outstanding hbo max content

>>212745189
>Marvel is failing and becoming the laughingstock
>Let's just do the exact same thing Marvel is doing, DOWN TO OUR FUCKING LOGO BEING A COPY, surely that'll work
God I hope everyone at WB fucking perishes

>>212745879
CW did exactly that. 10 years ago.

>>212744065 (OP)
Lies peddled by WB execs to entice people to see Superman in these next two weeks. Fucking pathetic.

>>212746021
>Zazlav is going on Deadline/Variety trying to gaslight the public (which didn't see the movie in droves) that they did see the movie in droves and that it's a huge cultural moment (when it's not in observable material reality)
What level of implosion is WB on? This is the most pathetic crashout of any studio in memory.

>>212746087
Remember when they put out the Jason Momoa Frosty the snowman to distract from the Amber Heard debacle

>>212744065 (OP)
Learnt literally nothing from MCU shows?

>>212745538
Jimmy Olsen having wacky adventures that may or may not be dreams or alternate reality.

>>212744328
they're doing the Batman who laughs according to leaks

>>212744328
>"You have to watch Peacemaker and Green Latern shows to keep up with what we have planned."
No. I don't think I will.

>>212746312
Don’t forget the animated stuff and video games. He said everything will be connected.

>>212746162
I wish WB would be burned to the ground.

>>212744065 (OP)
Sounds like bullshit to generate artificial hype, but if true, does WB not realized that one of the reasons people got sick of Marvel was because they starting shitting out tv tie-in slop?
Everyone was happy when capeslop was more straight to the point with solo movies and a big reunion movie every few years

>>212744065 (OP)
scraping the bottom of the barrel

>>212745538
Jimmy Olsens series introduced the New Gods

why not give the dog a spinoff too while you're at it?

fucking hacks

>>212746682
>>212746697
putting stuff into development isn't the same as greenlighting it.

>>212744386
his character is not lame, is actually very cool and his powers are also really cool as well, the problem is that his powers kind of not make sense even tho they are cool

>>212746186
That's a pretty kino comic cover.

>>212746266

>>212744138
It's not new for Warner Bros or DC. This is probably the only thing they consistently do anymore.

>>212747277
This was actually surprisingly good, though. Apparently it was an entirely unrelated series about British criminals intersecting with the government and stuff like that and it was retroactively made into a Pennyworth show just so it could be made. Just like Joker was just another Joaquin Phoenix WOE IS ME drama no one would've watched if it wasn't retroactively fitted into a DC skinsuit.

>>212744065 (OP)
God, I hate you people so much…

>>212744065 (OP)
is that my nigga big love?!

>>212746266
please no

>>212746266
The batman who laughs in the single worst storyline ever put to comics and that’s saying something.

>>212744328
>criticizes MCU for putting out too much secondary slop
>immediately does the same
Nobody even watched nor talked about Creature Commandos and I dont think anybody is gonna give a shit about Pacemaker. there is also the state of The Batman and Penguin because are we gonna have two active different Batmen

[Buy a fucking ad]

>>212748283
Twinkman was an awful movie, but The Penguin show was quite decent

they should put the guy behind that in charge
he understand that DC is not about le quipmastering reddit updoting

>>212744065 (OP)
Does Terrific have powers or is he just a smart science man? I couldn’t tell.

>>212744065 (OP)
Kino, i hope they introduce the JSA in Terrific and Darkseid couchsitting antics in Jimmy's show.

>>212744328
Its gonna be The Reach.

>>212744065 (OP)
People are not tired of endless capeshit slop yet? This oversaturation is what is killing the MCU and Star Wars

>>212746266
That has to be the dumbest fucking thing they could possibly do, so I believe it

>>212744427
>doesn't know how to greentext

>>212744065 (OP)
I have never even considered watching any MCU or disney wars series, and can't understand anyone who did. Can't these people just stick to movies?

>>212744171
Jimmy Olsen had a 200 issue spinoff before your parents were even born. Lots of people want it

>>212746347
Eventually we'll get Scrappyzilla and Tromeo in this with a backdoor into Comics of the Dead. Let him cook

>>212749219
He has his spheres which do shit but they're all tech, Terrific has no other powers beyond being smart.

What's next? Ragman getting his own TV show?

>>212749809
most of those readers are dead now though

>>212744065 (OP)
Mr Terrific stole the movie so I don't mind

>>212746186
OK now I want to know. How tf can Olsen cut Supes' hair according to that issue?

>>212744065 (OP)
>Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen as a TV series
>8 to 10 episodes of Jimmy going on random adventures could be used as a gateway to introduce Batman, Wonder Woman, Brainiac

>>212744171
I do.

>>212751088
what a creep

now im interested

>>212745538
Dude, fucking DARKSEID was introduced as a villain in a Jimmy Olsen comic.
