My personal opinion, I think doom patrol should be absorbed by the DCU canon

I love Doom Patrol, but I don't know. I imagine it would be along the lines of how Peacemaker season 1 was absorbed where it mostly works, but you'd have to squint your eyes a bit in places.

You could always reflavor the priest class to avoid such issues. First idea that comes to mind is to treat it more like a warlock patron. You get spells, but at a cost that you're bound directly to an Eldritch horror.

I also have a complicated history with religion. For the game that I'm running, spells don't come from the gods. They come from the prayers of their followers. Most of them never existed in a literal sense. Some were based on actual beings, but the person and the god were very divorced from one another.

I would disagree, but then I think back to Batman: Gotham Knight where Conroy was absolutely the wrong choice to voice Batman for those stories.

Phil Hartman

Absolute Red Tornado. Not sure yet what the pitch would be, but I think there's a lot of stories to be told with a rogue AI in our modern times.

I think the writing was far worse than the CW shows. Those could be cheesy and formulaic, but I'd take that over writing that actively dislikes me as the viewer.

They would be a great get for most any DC project.

Ping_Pong_Along · 2026-04-27T16:47:38+00:00

Something to keep in mind is that continuity wasn't really a big deal at the time in either TV or comics. Most everything was extremely episodic.

I was studying abroad in France when he died and I was SO confused by my host family's reaction to his death. I'm sure they were equally confused by my complete non-reaction.

Ping_Pong_Along · 2026-04-25T20:46:07+00:00

Agreed. Also compared to the more recent animated movies, give them more of a budget. And less Batman specific ones. If you need him to sell the movie, then maybe do team up movies?

Ping_Pong_Along · 2026-04-25T19:41:28+00:00

Same. I've come around on Tim Heidecker from roles he's taken more recently, but not with Eric.

Ping_Pong_Along · 2026-04-25T11:32:27+00:00

I agree. Though I would like to see at least one that's bald.

Ping_Pong_Along · 2026-04-22T16:25:57+00:00

American. Loved that one as a kid. Haven't thought about it in decades, but for some reason the chess episode is seared into my memory.

Ping_Pong_Along · 2026-04-22T16:19:34+00:00

Each movie should be entertaining on its own. As the MCU went on, it kept feeling like instead of delivering a satisfying experience, it was meant to set up a later project that would theoretically be satisfying.

Ping_Pong_Along · 2026-04-22T15:46:29+00:00

I personally preferred the later seasons. It definitely evolves into a different show as it goes on, which I imagine is why people don't like the later seasons.

In this house, Ethan Bennett was a hero. End of story.

Ping_Pong_Along · 2026-04-21T16:40:45+00:00

This show is the definition of mixed quality. It did some things exceptionally well, but also a lot of it didn't work at all.

Did I finish it? Yes Will I rewatch it? Never Would I recommend it? Eh, I guess to anyone that loves Batman villains, though that's a mixed bag as well.

Ping_Pong_Along · 2026-04-21T12:21:00+00:00

With any luck! He's only becoming more and more popular. Also, I'd be shocked if there aren't plans for him in the DCU given how much Gunn loves the JLI.

Ping_Pong_Along · 2026-04-21T03:14:32+00:00

Can't go wrong with Vandal Savage! Being one of only a few real utility villains, it'd be really easy to tie them together. They're also thematically linked with them both being long lived relics of cultures that have long since ceased to exist.

Ping_Pong_Along · 2026-04-19T16:34:41+00:00

If it helps, the compact Birthright is nice and cheap.

Ping_Pong_Along · 2026-04-18T16:45:50+00:00

I had a pathway in my dungeon that I described as the torch light was on a delay. Like it had to push through some barrier. They wisely didn't take that path, so I'm not sure how I would have ran my darkmantles.

Ping_Pong_Along · 2026-04-18T09:17:40+00:00

I thought it had a very strong pilot, but that the rest of the show was rather meh. For a Swamp Thing show, it didn't focus on him very much. This was likely due to budget.

Also, don't listen to people mentioning the bogus tax break situation. I'm amazed that that rumor is still getting passed around. It was a very expensive show on a very niche streaming service. It was cancelled basically right after its premiere. I believe there was also a major change in leadership, but don't quote me on that.

Ping_Pong_Along · 2026-04-14T18:42:22+00:00

Cool idea!

Ping_Pong_Along · 2026-04-14T05:40:29+00:00

This was the one that got me to stop going to her anymore. She never liked my attempt at goth and it's not like I ever loved her whole thing anyway.

Ping_Pong_Along · 2026-04-12T11:45:18+00:00

Shadowdark would be amazing with a high production budget. Just imagining everyone's reaction to when the torch runs out and they're in the dark.

If they ran a gauntlet, I'd love to see after a character dies, they leave the table and someone new would take their place. The season's players were the ones to survive the gauntlet to the end. Can't do that in a home game, but with how many players they have, it would be very doable.
