Best part of the show: guy doing his laundry. Period.

Thank you. He needs to back that thang up or GTFO. 

We don’t know that’s *really* Nightwing until he turns around.

This season has been very costume light in general and I think Titans suffered because of it (among other things).

I loved two things: Donna knowing Dick so well she sees right through his bullshit several states and a prison sentence away. Also, Kory finding the most jacked psychiatrist on the planet to bone who instantly sees through her own bullshit and asks about her insurance coverage.

Bruce used all those random messages to get the Titans together, impersonating Rachel and filming fake commercials, and he still couldn’t manage to bring Hank in? Also, going “Yo it’s batman, meet me here.” would have been just as effective but

You wouldn’t expect to see Jason Todd singing “Somewhere” from West Side Story to a woman who once wanted to kill him but hey, this is Titans.

The talking points from The Peripheral show sounds like they have never read The Peripheral novel.

No kidding. It’s really complicated, and very talky. There’s hardly any action to speak of. I don’t see how they can make it into a film that will draw a reasonably-sized audience.

I love The Peripheral but I’m having a really hard time picturing how to do it well as a show. Here’s hoping they surprise me and pull it off.

Season one was such a pleasant surprise I’m baffled by how poorly season two has been handled, and this seems entirely down to the writers room. I have an unsettling suspicion that this season will delay its finale until the beginning of a third season we may or may not ever see. Structurally, I don’t know how they’re…

It’s really creepy that Nightwing’s origin is gonna be cultural appropriation and, as written here, white saviourism.

Something I wish someone had mentioned to me longer ago: if you keep a pond of lampreys big enough that you COULD throw someone into it, you get a lot less broken crystal.

Ian is a great Alfred. He’s not Bruce Wayne. Again, this is what happens when you give a show to Akiva Goldsman and Geoff Johns. At least Akiva is praticising his horrendous writing over in the CBS All Access writer’s room with Picard, so that we don’t have to suffer his painfully bad dialog.

Glen’s role in GoT was significant, but his character never displays any qualities that would make any rational person think THIS guy IS Bruce Wayne/Batman.

He was a guy who spent multiple seasons pining after Daenerys and bending over backwards to impress her. He was mostly just sullen and spent the majority of his…

Agreed on all points. I don’t watch Game of Thrones so I don’t know how big of a role he had on that show, but I guess it was big enough that the producers cast him to draw in GoT viewers? He’s just too old, too slight, and trying too hard to hide an accent.

I can’t buy for a second that Iain Glen’s Bruce is, or has ever been, Batman.

He’s too...I dunno, nice? He doesn’t embody any of the qualities the show spent the first season telling us he had. Season 1 spent a ton of time telling us Bruce was this horrible monster. This cold, detached, rage-fueled taskmaster that…

I can appreciate this show’s complete willingness to bring the Batusi into 2019, but I maintain that Iain Glen is still woefully miscast as Bruce Wayne. I was thoroughly entertained by his performance, but he is not My Bruce Wayne. And as Charles points out, he’s not even the Bruce Wayne Dick spent the entire first…
