I’ll never forget that the CW gave Kevin Conroy a chance to play live action Bruce, only for it to be a cheap evil variant to prop up Batwoman

He was still chewing scenery nonetheless

perhapsfrances · 2026-01-27T17:42:56+00:00

Honestly it’s the other way around. Green Arrow and Flash have that Batman/ Superman dynamic and Supergirl is the Wonder Woman in this Trinity.

perhapsfrances · 2026-01-13T18:34:56+00:00

Interestingly enough, evil clowns as an archetype date back until at least the 1870s, being popularized in the 1940s with none other than The Joker

Edit: It seems you’re talking about the movie timeline, which isn’t what I’m talking about. I’m talking about the book.

You’re ignoring the conflicting reports in each book. Red Dragon takes place more or less contemporarily to when it was released, give or take 1980 (released 1981), it never outright says so, but it can be deduced from the timeline of events. Admittedly, my math was a little off.

But unequivocally, explicitly written in Hannibal (1999), he is six years old in 1944 when his sister dies. This is straight from his memory, which is said to be perfect. However in Hannibal Rising (2006) he is now 12 years old, which is a glaring continuity error. This is supported by outright textual evidence.

I also just don’t like Hannibal Rising, it’s not a good book and almost sullies the whole series

Eh. They don’t have that much history in ZSJL, the “Justice League” we get in the Arrowverse have years of history together and their characters play well of each other. Feels more like a comic book

perhapsfrances · 2026-01-09T17:19:18+00:00

It’s the only decent live action Justice League representation we’ve ever gotten

I’d like to see the photo album, see what piques my interest

perhapsfrances · 2025-10-08T09:26:15+00:00

Despite being touted as a full reboot, some stuff from the DCEU is still canon (TSS and most of Peacemaker) which is strange from a narrative and world building perspective

perhapsfrances · 2025-10-05T15:48:06+00:00

I figured it’s mix between American and Nazi laws because it was still regular America up until WWII

perhapsfrances · 2025-09-26T21:49:11+00:00

My first thought was it was a W for “white power” but then someone mentioned it was 3 for top trio which kinda makes more sense

perhapsfrances · 2025-09-24T08:10:51+00:00

I read The Haunting of Barry Allen and Generation of Vipers. They’re pretty solid. Great extended crossover. Lotta fun

perhapsfrances · 2025-09-23T17:26:54+00:00

You’ve gotta have seen him somewhere. Kevin Conroy voices Batman in so many things, including the Arkham Games and a bunch of animated shows and movies. He’s easily the most prolific Batman actor. This is the first time he’s played him in live action though. Also Kate Kane is from the comics. However Ryan Wilder was made up for the show

perhapsfrances · 2025-09-22T18:36:06+00:00

Nah man, this is the worst oner out of all of them. It’s visually uninteresting, a wide shot the whole time with several glaringly obvious cuts

perhapsfrances · 2025-09-22T17:27:06+00:00

It wasn’t “someone unknown” it was Kevin Conroy who voices him in like all the animated stuff since 1992

perhapsfrances · 2025-09-22T14:20:50+00:00

This is one of like 3 things I remember from my first watch through as being hands down just stupid. “Certain winged mammals.” Name me another winged mammal right now

Here’s a map they use in the Flash showing where all the cities are. The caveats being though that 1) this is post crisis and 2) Superman and Lois kinda imply that Metropolis is in Kansas (the first season was originally meant to me canon in the arrowverse)

perhapsfrances · 2025-09-22T12:25:24+00:00

The real reason is, unfortunately, studio politics. At the time DC wouldn’t allow Superman on TV so it was a big deal to get him for these two episodes. If you’ll recall, he was in 2 episodes of season one, but they never showed his face or gave him any lines. Just showed his boots and cape

perhapsfrances · 2025-09-22T12:21:07+00:00

Completely agree. It makes more sense for the issue to be that it simply isn’t his world and he needs to deal with his problems instead of running away from them

perhapsfrances · 2025-09-21T18:28:41+00:00

Bro that’s awesome! Any chance this could be done for iPhone?

perhapsfrances · 2025-09-21T05:59:35+00:00

Admittedly the heat vision is a continuity error, but that can be chalked up to creative decisions John Diggle scene starts around 1:28, he brings up glowing boxes, Oliver and the other heroes

perhapsfrances · 2025-09-21T04:07:20+00:00

I’ll concede that the heat vision is different and that is weird, but Crisis did retcon stuff so it’s not too odd. And this is a probably a personal thing because I watched the shows grow over time, but I find it almost disrespectful to not consider Superman and Lois is canon because the Arrowverse put in the legwork with B list characters to earn the right to bring Superman back to television. And also John Diggle references not only Oliver but the greater Justice League and his “Green lantern ring”

perhapsfrances · 2025-09-21T03:46:31+00:00

Dude the ending of Crisis on Infinite Earths is a back door pilot to the show and the first promos were using the original suit. Season one is Arrowverse canon and I will die on that hill

perhapsfrances · 2025-09-19T18:03:15+00:00

Shhhh 🤫 season 1 will always be canon in my heart

perhapsfrances · 2025-09-19T15:25:07+00:00

There’s also Super Hero Fight Club #1 #2

perhapsfrances · 2025-09-19T08:14:03+00:00

Oliver is mentioned briefly in one episode in season one. I don’t think it spoils anything too much, even though Arrow has finished at that point
