i won’t say it’s “weird to me,” because snyder stans are... interesting, but the level of “belovedness” and “my/best superman” for Cavill is... weird.

The CW has the only really good Superman right now in Superman & Lois - heaven knows how long that’ll last.
I mean, The Suicide Squad had a dual release on HBO Max in the middle of the pandemic, and is 90% on Rotten Tomatoes (and, not incidentally, spawned the excellent Peacemaker). No DC movie without a bat in it was going to do much better under those circumstances.
Why are people blaming James Gunn and not The Rock? The Rock went over Walter Hamada’s head when he said no to Superman and he did it in some long game pursuit clearly without any consideration of all the changes happening at WBD. I guess he didn’t know that but this certainly seems like the worst result that could…
You WOULDN’T BELIEVE how much THIS STATEMENT applies to pretty much EVERYTHING ON THE INTERNET!
Traditional TV shows make money in several different ways. There is the money from commercials when it’s aired. The show can get licensed out to be shown on other networks and in syndication. There are DVD sales. Some shows have other merchandising like toys and tie in video games.

I honestly thought during Maarvas speech that it may have actually gotten through to him but nah he’s still an Imperial fan boy.
Okay, now I’m crying.
He was the only person who ever really nailed different voices for Batman and Bruce Wayne without (ironically) making the distinction cartoonish. For almost two decades we’ve had movie after movie where actors adopt over-the-top grunts and growls for “Batman,” whereas Conroy achieved it with the slightest changes: A…
This is DC Animation’s biggest loss since Dwayne McDuffie died. If we were still in office, I bet the vibe there would be similar.
Perhaps his crowning moment is the Justice League episode with the alternate evil League members. Conroy recorded the entire scene where Batman confronts his evil version in a single take, switching back and forth between the subtly different voices flawlessly.
Good. It needed to be said one more time.
Kevin Conroy is the standard by which I, and probably many many others, judge Batman. Not just the voice either. Even with live actors, I judge them if they can bring the kind of emotion and gravitas to the role that Conroy was able to with just his voice. Some of them do well, but none will ever top him. He is…
Funny you say that, because Luthen and Lonni detailing their own deeply personal sacrifices for the cause also reminded me of another wonderful bit of Star Trek monologuing, from TNG’s “The Defector.”
Not since... I don’t know, maybe KOTOR 2?... have we had such a morally murky take on the Star Wars universe. I love it. Wars have casualties of all types, something that the movies rarely actually engaged with.
