Good lord that end tagline is dreadful.
As it stands, didn't like JL:War enough to check Throne of Atlantis out. Though it doesn't look that bad.
I am looking forward to Gods and Monsters though, if only because Alan Burnett and Bruce Timm are working on it.
Why the change of heart for Earth One?
I read a lot more Superman stuff in the interim. I really dislike the super-capable-amazing-at-everything portrayal of Clark that JMS does - I don't think that's really Clark Kent or Superman - but I think it really does capture the spirit of his upbringing, the sort of identity questions a more gritty look at Superman would struggle with, and the kind of person Clark would have to be to overcome the challenges he'd face as Superman. Basically, I'm less ignorant, so I "get it" now.
Though I actually think Vol. 2 of Earth One Supes is much better than Vol. 1.
Shifting DC gears a bit, what did people (who read it) think about Forever Evil? Trinity war was (IMO) bunk, but I thought the concept for Forever Evil was cool. I just found the whole series a huge letdown.

At least in the JL comic book, the JL Atlantis storyline really does a good job with Aquaman. In fact, I'd say Aquaman in the New 52 is really well done as a whole.

Only good part of Forever Evil was Lex and Bizarro. Other than that it sucked.
I hear that, but I got worn down by New 52 really fast after Demon Knights and All Star Western got the shaft. I'm done with it for a long while.
Forever Evil was a mess. It had a lot of pointless plot threads. The Crime Syndicate were a little too one-dimensional and their campaign to absolutely destroy the place they were trying to make their new home made little sense. Lex was written pretty well and the way he defeated Mazahs at the end was clever but that's about the only good thing I can say. They didn't even solve the real problem that started this event to begin with.
I mainly read DC for batman eternal, wonderwoman and aquaman now. The rest seem to be disappointing.

Its not the first time I heard that. I might check his comics.
His character amuses me.

Anyone watching Gotham? Anybody reviewing Gotham? IMO It's a little rocky, but as a pulpy noir show it earning it stripes. It still needs to find it's footing which is pretty much expected with every new show. I can see this lasting and I like it so far.
It's ok. But I don't like Fish Mooney, I want Oswald to cave her head in with a parasol; and while I like her in other iterations, this Renee Montoya is so damn annoying.
Selina Kyle, Alfred, and Oswald make the show worth watching for me. I'll keep with it for the rest of the season, but it's yet to really sink its hooks in me.
Really excited for The Flash tonight though.
The Batman references are a little too "in your face". Bruce Wayne and Fish performances are awkward. Despite all that I actually like this show. The Gordon/Bullock dynamic and Penguin's rise to power keeps me interested.
Speaking of The Flash, I assume Arrow will air soon as well again right?
Looking forward to season 3. I hope they'll will start building up Laurel to become Black Canary.
Watched The Flash. I liked it.
Only problem was that they gave away Zoom/Reverse Flash's Identity way too fast.
But I'm excited to see where the show goes from here.

How are the visual effects regarding Barry running? Since it probably doesn't have the same budget as those comic films.

Effects were fine. About as well as you can expect from a TV show.
So Flash opened up with 4.5 million viewers and the highest ratings CW had for awhile now. That's a good start for a freshman show that was leaked at the beginning of the summer. Hopefully Arrow will be just as good tonight.
Big DC movie news. Warner Bros. has officially announced a number of DC movies.
And, in a massive expansion of the Studio’s DC Entertainment-branded content, Warner Bros. Pictures and New Line Cinema will release a slate of at least 10 movies—as well as stand-alone Batman and Superman films—from 2016 through 2020 that expands this prized universe of characters:
It seems DC will beat the crap out of Marvel by the end of 2020s! All hail Zack Snyder!
Amy Adams is a good actress. Much better than Scarlet Johansson.
Jason Momoa as Aquaman? Are you f*cking kidding me?
Who's dumb idea was that?

Forget Momoa... Ezra Miller as Flash? That's going to be weird. I applaud DC for not falling back on another solo Batman movie.
I hope the next Green Lantern movie is about John Stewart and not Hal Jordan.
Agreed regarding Green Lantern.
Ever since I watched Justice League Animated, John Stewart has become one of my favorites.
Anyway, Gotham kinda sounds like a show I want to see. But I've always wanted a straight forward Police Procedure show in a Comic Book Universe. Because it'd be the funniest thing ever. Gotham looks a little too serious for the type of show I'd want.
It's a cool idea, but I am worried about its execution.
That sounds like comedy gold.
Make fun of superheroes and the tropes.

*police officer walks up to his buddies in the middle of a ruined district, coffee in hand*
OF1: So what's the damage today? Give it to me straight!
OF2: Muscle Man and Mr. Destructo were at it. Only 42 dead and 214 injured.
OF1: And all-time low for Muscle Man. Anything else?
OF3: they knocked out power to a third of the city. Also the waterlines at the intersection is damaged. Roads a mess. The buildings..well, best not talk about it.
OF1: And it's only monday morning.

*evil scientist Dr. bananas is holding hostages in a bank*
OF1: what does he want?
OF2: Banans. Truckloads of them.
OF1: Well, he is a gorilla-hybrid-mutant thing.
OF3: Oh here he comes. He's making his speech about how primates will rule the earth and yada yada.
OF2: Doesn't he ever get tired of it?
OF3: Apparently not.
OF1: Is he wearing a helmet?
OF3: Erm...no, why you ask?
* of1 picks up the radio*
OF1: Sniper 1, shoot the idiot. And someone get me some donuts.

OF1: Dear God. What is it this time?
OF2: Trouble in the shopping mall. It getting torn apart.
OF1: Electomagneto? The Beheemoth? The Poker? Playtpuss man?
OF2: Nope. The Unbelievable Bulk.
OF1: How did it happen this time?
OF2: Apparently he was buying shoes half the day. When he finally found one he liked, they didn't have his size.
OF1: *sigh* Get the box of puppies and kittens from my car
OF2: You have that in your car?
OF1: You wouldn't believe the amount of s*** I have to have in my car.
Oh, so Silver Age Superman that destroys a solar system by sneezing is the definitive version? I didn't know that. Get over yourself. There is no definitive version. There are different interpretations. Superman's been around for 76 years. Drawn and written by many, many different people. Just because you have a favorite incarnation doesn't make it any more legitimate than Straczynski's, Waid's, or even Synder's takes.
And that's partially what sucks about comic superheroes.
They don't even have a definitive character. Their powers and abilities fluctuate wildly.
Have you guy been keeping up with my show, Arrow, and Gotham? Holy ****balls, television hasn't been this good since ever!
So Constantine kicked off yesterday.
I liked it.
Really liked the theme.
I'm not watching Arrow. Still waiting for it to go up on Netflix so I can catch up on it.
So my ranking on DC shows as of now is
The Flash>Constantine>Gotham.
Constantine is a good show but the first episode has some pacing problems. I tend to like my supernatural/occult entertainment to be a bit slower on the build up. It was probably because writers were rushed to rework episode after that Liv actress was replaced.
I'd go:
1. Flash
2. Arrow
3. Gotham
4. Constantine
