@FullbringIchigo Hahahahahahahahahahaha

Brilliant!

I want to insist that everyone watch it.

Channel has no sense it would seem. Batwoman genuinely is awful, and awfully made.

@KALofKRYPTON but if we all watch it, even to laugh at it they will think it's successful because it would get good viewing figures

@FullbringIchigo It's already been renewed for season 2 based on the abysmal figures in the states 😂

It's a woke vanity project, it won't be cancelled until they absolutely have to.

SO how about that cameo in the last Crisis on Infinite Earths, no spoilers but i was NOT expecting that

@FullbringIchigo I honestly don't think anyone was! Could make Flashpoint more interesting!

@KALofKRYPTON yep it could also i'm pretty sure i saw Green Lantern in that mash up sequence

@FullbringIchigo I expect them to try and make good on the Diggle/GL connection. Going to need extreme care though.
Diggle (and the actor's performance) is as dull as dishwater, and Arrow has explored him plenty - so the standard 'origin' formula will be a bit difficult. Hopefully they don't go that way and maybe do a GL ensemble, or even better - just a Guy Gardner series!

@KALofKRYPTON i never was a big fan of the Digg;e character, i would have been happy if he was written out if i'm honest

@FullbringIchigo
The more I think about it - an ensemble Green Lantern show could be amazing! Expensive, but amazing.

@KALofKRYPTON DUDE spoilers

but yes it would

@FullbringIchigo

"Green Lantern
Relatedly, HBO Max Head of Original Content, Sarah Aubrey, revealed Greg Berlanti’s upcoming Green Lantern series “will span several decades and focus on the origin story of two major Green Lanterns from Earth” who go on to meet Sinestro in outer space. [TV Guide]"

@KALofKRYPTON 2 major Lanterns?

i'm guessing one is Hal, like it always is but i hope the other is John Stewart, he deserves more recognition

@FullbringIchigo I'd rather they went with Guy and Hal for a meeting Sinestro story, but I expect it'll be Hal and John.

There's every chance they could eschew both and go with Simon Baz and Jess Cruz. Easier 'modern' material to adapt and they could always show a 'current' already yellow Sinestro and show Hal etc. in flashbacks 🤔

@KALofKRYPTON this is true

i'm just happy Green Lantern is coming back in some way, especially after that movie

@FullbringIchigo See, I don't really get people's beef with the movie. I mean OK, the cg suit wasn't a total success, but the direction, performances and even the script are fine.
It certainly has a villain problem, but Mark Strong's Sinestro was primed to solve that for the sequel.

In fact, there's a lot more I like about it than I don't.

@KALofKRYPTON oh don't get me wrong, i enjoyed it BUT it did pretty much fail for DC and we haven't seen anything of the character in live action since bar that little bit in Justice League

Disney+ is £5.99 a month or £59.99 a year. Which is really good for service offering UHD content. It's also arriving a week early for UK viewers. You'll now be able to start watching as of 24 March 2020, a full seven days before the previous 31 March launch-date.

@JohnnyShoulder I’ve actually been really impressed with Disney+. For the price, it has a boatload of content — from classic full length animated movies, to MCU (minus Spider-Man’s films), to all kinds of Star Wars content great and small, to every random Disney channel show where the likes of Zac Effron and Selena Gomez got their start as kids, to loads of nature documentaries, to surprise inclusions like Flubber and Secretariat and The Simpsons...
Nevertheless, after watching The Mandalorian , the Star Wars prequels, and a few of the animated Star Wars shorts, I haven’t turned it back on in a few weeks now.

To be fair, that’s how I treat Netflix as well. I just make nice, long watch lists of all the series that look interesting and then I never watch them. Some people collect baseball cards, some collect rare coins... I collect lists of shows I want to watch.

It’s ok. People say it’s a waste of my money, but I consider my Netflix subscription is like paying my tax in order to live in the 21st Century.

@Th3solution Have they sorted the aspect ratio of Simpson’s yet? Last I heard all the old episodes were stretched and it cut off part of the picture.

@Th3solution Even if you only watch the star wars films, a years sub will most likely be cheaper then getting the box set that is being released at around the same time. I have Netflix permanently, only because my mum has a profile on my account. But I always have at least two shows to watch from the big N, and then rotate another service. At the moment that is Amazon Prime, so that will probably be rotated out for Disney+. I'm in no rush however, and if I'm in the middle of a series I'm enjoying, I'm not gonna suddenly ditch one service just because something new and shiny has come along.
