Production on The Batman has shut down after Robert Pattinson tested positive for COVID-19

I might have asked before but has a reason been said why they changed the iconic purple-green-red color scheme of The Joker for "Joker"?

Maybe because that Joker isn't the traditional "Joker"?  The Jokers origin is heavily tied to Batman, so to have 'The Joker' around pre-Batman doesn't make sense

I figured a lot of it had to do with matching the aesthetic of the time period they were going for. This talks about a lot of the moods that the film was going for too, and while it doesn't talk about the Joker's colour change specifically - it's a pretty good indication that the muted colours were all a part of the overall vision of the film.

Birds of Prey was ok

Man Amazon didn't wuss out nearly as much on The Boys as I thought they would.

Supergirl will end after season six.

That didn't take long!

I reckon they'll twist the G-Men arc to fit over this.

Season 1 was really good. It's a bit jarring if you're expecting traditional superhero fare, but it's a really unique look at the idea of heroes as celebrities, used by the government and flawed as individuals.

It's essentially the story of a government sanctioned group of asshole superheroes that adds a new and naive member to the team... while simultaneously, there's a group being put together by Karl Urban to try and take them out.

I haven't started season 2 yet because I want to wait it out so that we can binge through it. Season 1 didn't take us very long to go through because it kept us hooked. I'm expecting the same for season 2.

EDIT: I forgot to note that Urban's group is non-powered.

Awesome, thanks for the review - I'm definitely into that idea so I'll definitely watch it! 

[Tigerstyle]

Yeah Season 1 is a great watch, just waiting for S2 to finish then I’ll binge

Love The Boys. I think it's probably the best show on TV right now and season 2 has even been better than the first.
