another blue-balling show..? At least Gotham is a Police procedural show, this seems a bit thin but I guess it can be Fringe set in DC Comics

I guess it really is too much to ask for an actual live action Superman show, huh?

I think I just don't care and don't want any more superhero shows.


I also came into the thread expecting this for some reason since I didn't compute the "DC's" as DC comics I was thinking "directors cut" or something.

Krypton... Gotham... Metropolis...

I guess we're lucky to have The Flash instead of Central City, huh?

The Flash is the biggest oddity of all, really. He's a full-on super-powered A-list DC superhero... and he's allowed to simultaneously be in the DCEU movies when no one else is (except Deathstroke and Superman, whenever WB is feeling charitable).

I agree with Plastron I thought he was better than Cavill before Justice League came out. Than I loved Cavill again

Why do we need two Superman prequel shows on at once? I know one's for TV and the other is for their digital platform, but come on!

I didn't even know there was going to be a DC digital platform. What are they going to put on it, exactly? Old, sh**ty DC movies and, like, a lot of their animated features?

The Teen Titans show is going on the DC streaming service, so they are building up a library beyond older stuff

Isn't the DC streaming thing were Young Justice is supposed to go?
Ooooooh maybe this means they'll bring back Green Lanter: The Animated Series, and possibly Beware the Bat.

(If we could get more Super Best Friends Forever too, that'd be nice)

Ugh, I dunno. I bought the first season of Smallville very excited to finally see it years back... I simply couldn't get more than about 6 or 7 episodes into it. I tried. I really tried.

Speaking of Smallville... yeah, why make a Metropolis show in a post-Smallville world that isn't a Smallvile sequel? It's not like Smallville never moved things to Metropolis... so we'll just be getting the same thing over again. Are we sure WB didn't secretly woo Tom Welling to waive his ridiculous "no tights, no flights" clause and come back as full-on Superman? Though does Superman even have any villains left after Smallville? It sounded like he took care of all of his whole rogue's gallery before he even became Superman in that show.

So far the shows scheduled for DC's streaming service are:
Young Justice: Outsiders
Harley Quinn (and Ivy)
Metropolis
Titans

The Harley Quinn one is animated. Its basically about her coming in her own without the Joker. Only she's not alone as Poison Ivy is along for the ride.

In the 1980s era post-Crisis continuity and the DCAU, Lois and Lex dated before Clark comes to live in the city. I wonder if that's an aspect of the story...?

The synopsis makes it seem like they're supposed to be investigative partners like Mulder and Scully.
