I think there’s a knee-jerk reaction to say the original British version is always better, but I think both versions of Ghosts are comparable in quality. There are certain aspects about the American version that I think are superior.

I’m fairly sure that the main role will be played by Emma Roberts. I doubt that even Ryan Murphy would expect Kim Kardashian to be able to carry an entire series. I mean, she could surprise us, but it’s not likely

I only see the addition of Gaga as a plus here. I did not really like Joker. I found it depressing and somewhat exploitive of actual mental illness, and it did not get better when it was revealed that it was not originally meant to be a DC movie until someone suggested to the writer that he could get it made if he…

It’s been very entertaining watching fans and bloggers and YouTubers tear their hair out on a daily basis worrying about what’s a part of the DCEU and what’s going to be “canon” going forward and who’s going to be recast (everybody-nobody-just Cavill and Miller etc.) and on and on.

It falls sort of mid-range compared to your basic Arrowverse show -which it is not a part of. It definitely lacks the elevated production values of Superman & Lois or Stargirl, and then it tries to make up for lack of story with Easter eggs and teases. Court of Owls! Carrie Kelley! I guess this is the flip side of Goth…

It’s not a cop out. It’s an agreement they made with the actor that allows him to do the role. It’s also basically impossible to record clear dialogue through face bandages, so anyone would have to re-record the dialogue anyway. Neither Bomer nor Fraser would have committed to the show otherwise, and I might guess…

They do it because Matt Bomer is a busy guy, and not available to play a character whose face is covered in bandages 90% of the time. He has, however, made himself available to do the character’s voice and play Larry Trainor when he is appearing in his original form before the disfiguring event that turned him into…

This is the kind of complaint that one should keep to oneself and one’s friends. He worked on FIVE different DC shows for the CW, along with a few smaller adjacent projects which is an impressive (and likely lucrative) run by anyone’s standards, and now he wants a pat on the head? To paraphrase Don Draper: “The money…

It’s about time. They do too much work to be relegated to the fine print of the end credits. By the same token, Doom Patrol has been crediting Matthew Zuk and Riley Shanahan in the opening credits for a while -possibly since the first episode though I’m not sure about that. They do the physical performances of…

He’s always Lex Luthor to me, which is funny because it is only a voice performance (of which he does a TON), but such an iconic one. I can’t say I have seen even half of his on-camera work which is always excellent, but it is always a delight to see him show up on screen whether it’s in Starship Troopers or on a…

He’s in his mid-60s, and it’s likely that anyone starting out to play Luthor would me at least 20 years younger if not more if only for practical purposes. I think that there is a general push to cast younger for these franchises now, mainly so actors can play the characters for more than 10 years if needed. Ideally,…

A lot of people think that WBD can just pull the plug on Gotham Knights because it doesn’t comport with their new DC Universe scheme. That’s not how TV works.

James Gunn recently promised to Variety that Superman & Lois will continue for “one to two more seasons” at the CW since “everybody likes it.”

Well, you can think of it that way if you want, but it really diminishes her talent and artistry as a singer and performer. It’s true that she did do a lot of covers, but she managed to make them bigger hits than the original artists. Ask any songwriter who doesn’t perform as a singer, and they will tell you that a…

He has every right to have mixed feelings about a role that was more physically demanding than most viewers appreciated, and there are plenty more quotes where Bautista expresses his gratitude to James Gunn, Marvel and his castmates. I won’t criticize him for being totally honest with the public. I am certain that he…

That number has never been confirmed. Good for her if she got even the low end of that estimate, but the fact remains that because Linda Ronstadt never wrote her own songs, she was never compensated as well as she should have been for an incredible career. “Her catalog” means the master recordings that she does own…

I had a hard time telling the difference between Tim Daly’s vocal performance as Superman and his replacement for the Justice League and JLU series in the DCAU for example. Roiland’s voice is pretty distinctive, though there are many voice actors out there who are highly skilled at duplicating voices.

Well they didn’t make a franchise out of Drax, they made a franchise out of the team that Drax was on. And Marvel was in a much different position then than DC is in now. BTW, I love Drax and the way Dave Bautista plays him, but much like Lobo, I’m not sure that there is enough to Drax to make him the lead of a solo Dr…

Yes, obviously, Guardians comes to mind, but that came out after Marvel Studios had become such a reliable movie brand that audiences trusted almost anything they would put out —and not unreasonably so. They were on a hot roll of hits.

Momoa has been pretty clear in recent days that he will be continuing to play Aquaman in the future, but will be allowed to play other characters -most likely Lobo. I would expect to see Lobo making occasional appearances here and there. Aquaman will be his main DC job. I think that rumors of wholesale recastings have…
