You're talking to Serenity. And, Early... Serenity is very unhappy.

Boxed Set, Vol. V: Just a Hint of Denial and a Dash of Retcon  

A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.

Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.

Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.

Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.

This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Yep. Plastic man. Whew. No wonder I was surprised when I saw EMan later and he was drawn more seriously.

I was conflating the two.

Hey, at least I wasn't thinking of Mr Fantastic. I stayed within the right universe.

I'm sad yet reassured that almost nothing DC has put out since 2006 makes me regret my boycott.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Batman still exists and gets new canon I know nothing about. That's made me kinda sad for years.

Is no one watching Gotham, or is it not interesting enough to discuss? Or did I ask the wrong questions?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I gave up on Gotham a while ago. Is it any better?

I'm watching Gotham. Just posting every intermittently.

I actually think Bruce is well on his way to being psycho bat man. It has only been a few months since his parents died. He is already obsessed and essentially cut off from everyone but Alfred. it does not look like he will see Cat all that often. Don't worry about the "nice. Give him a year or two down this path and he will lose the "nice".

Ditto.

You mean this version of Batman?

I'm hoping for "Batman: Odyssey" Batman, myself.

It's weirdly darkly OTT. But it's made me appreciate Cobblepot, and that ain't nothing.

I don't get any psycho-in-training vibes off of him. He's definitely focussed on finding his parent's killers, and learning discipline (I imagine he does already has Sun Tsu memorised), but he's far from pulling a full Winchester.

I gave up on Gotham a while ago. Is it any better?

I do think so. I kinda zoned out on the earlier episodes, but the more recent ones (even one heavily focussed on Bruce not being able to fit in in Gotham for shit) have compelled me more.
