Yes. Unless he has some low end durability we could exploit.

We don't need another Joker. And I wouldn't say he is the best endgame possible. He is all about deconstructing and corrupting the things Batman stands for. Best stories that involve him almost feel like a study of Batman's symbolism and morality. They go deep.

Final movie villain should he someone who can face and take on fully realized Bruce who no longer questions himself at any level, the full might of Batman's legend you might say.

Ugh. On one hand you have Batman's speech pattern similar to that in Batmetal, and Catwoman putting down Flashes, and on the other all those things Aaron did to Thor.

Shipka is too cute. I miss talking Salem though. A show stealing character, be it comics, TV series or animated version.

Feels like postmodernism and pop art grievance all over again, except that some Marvel movies are genuinely good cinema (Winter Soldier, Infinity War, Iron Man) and CBM outside of their stable can be excellent as well (Joker's character study; Wonder Woman's almost excellent usage of flat arc.) Other than that, what can you say except: they sell. As long as they do, there will be more of them.

I wouldn't say they screwed up the plotlines. The show itself is a loose adaptation. I think that splitting the responsibility for Starlight's sexual assault and Robin's murder actually worked for the show, adding another compelling plot line about The Deep's fall from grace which in return allowed to explore one of the messages the show seemed to have -- that supes are humans as well, and being one doesn't make you bad, just like being an ordinary man doesn't stop you from being an A-hole.

A word of advice, treat the show as a separate entity. It simply is. Homelander is much more developed; Billy resembles his comic version only superficially; there is no Stillwell/Butcher parallel; the mood is different and the central antagonist (Vought) has been pushed aside to make room for the Homelander. To be honest, the show doesn't try to replicate the comic book, which is good, but it's paving its own path instead, which is once again good, because it would never able to reach the fantastic level of complexity of all three major facets of storytelling: plot, theme, and character, that the book had, and they sure as hell wouldn't be able to pull off the dreadful foreboding Ennis created. They simply don't have the time in mere eight episodes, so instead of creating half-baked copy, they give us an amazing original show based on the source material.

Jango. Frank can bite, but he can't win this.
