Other DCU shows

Season 2 of Krypton does introduce Lobo. But, if you didn't like season 1, i can't see you liking season 2.

Have you seen The Boys? Its not DC, but its interesting. Also, not sure if you watched the old Birds of Prey, but its interesting seeing how much Rachel Skarsten has grown as an actress since then...

I have the Birds of Prey season on DVD. I was surprised when I realized it was the same woman. I remember being mostly annoyed by the character of Dinah Lance. Maybe I'll go back and re-watch it.

Haven't heard of The Boys... alas, Netflix does not have the DVDs in house, yet. (Yeah, I'm old school - I still get the DVD's, instead of streaming.) Thanks for the tip.

As much as I support buying actual physical copies of movies and TV shows...I can't support buying DVDs
Come on, this technology 20 years old.
Blu-rays are so much better....off course only if your TV isn't stone old...

I watched and enjoyed:
the Swamp Thing
Gotham
Pennyworth
the other Arrowverse shows
Birds of Prey
Smallville

I didn't like Doom Patrol....after 2 or 3 episodes I thought it was way too.....weird and insane....and boring as hell at the same time, and I'm normally easy to entertain.
But many seem to like that show. A great mystery to me.

I thought about watching Krypton but haven't yet.
If Wallis Day gets into the Batwoman costume....I will start watching immediately.

Yes, Dinah was the weak link on Birds of Prey. But, I am amazed by Rachel's performance as Alice.

I really enjoyed Pennyworth. I can't wait for season 2. Sone of the same people behind Gotham worked on it. Gotham was a steady favorite of mine during its 5 year run.

I pretty much watch all the DC live action shows.Even if I don't have the streaming service,I get the blu rays.I'm currently watching Stargirl and Doom Patrol Season 2.My copy of Pennyworth Season 1 on Blu Ray just came in yesterday.

I would check out season 2 of Krypton.There was some good twists and had a tighter storyline IMO.

Actually some big DC T.V news just broke today.

A new Gotham T.V. series for HBO MAX was just ordered to series.The show will forcus on the Gotham PD and be set in the same universe as the upcoming movie,"The Batman" starring Robert Pattinson Matt Reeves(writer/director of The Batman) and Terence Winter(creator of Boardwalk Empire) are producing.

HBO Max says the series will be "set in the world Reeves is creating for The Batman feature film and will build upon the motion picture’s examination of the anatomy of corruption in Gotham City, ultimately launching a new Batman universe across multiple platforms. The series provides an unprecedented opportunity to extend the world established in the movie and further explore the myriad of compelling and complex characters of Gotham."

Kind of cool all these live action Bat related shows the last few years.

Gotham(2014-2019)
Titans(2018-) Dick Grayson is the lead character.
Pennyworth(2019- )
Batwoman(2019-)
Now this new HBO Max Gotham PD show

Yeah, read about that new Gotham PD show as well.
And DC show is welcome for me, especially when is plays in Gotham.
The corrupt police force was already a theme in "Gotham" the TV show were Gordon was the lead character more or less. I wonder how this new show will be.
Looking forward to details!

Okay, nothing on but re-runs this week, so I thought I'd catch-up...

I watched the final episode of Series 12 of Doctor Who last night, "The Timeless Children".
One of the guest stars was Ian McElhinney, aka Val-El from Kypton. Okay, not really DCU related, but I like Ian and I liked his characters in both shows - they bot had that same cheeky grandfather appeal.

Speaking of Doctor Who, Dougray Scott also guest starred in a Series 7 episode of Doctor Who, "Hide", 8 years ago - he looked rather young and played a nerd! And he wasn't hiding his accent. It was kinda weird seeing him play such a passive character - he didn't bark out a single command!

I did watch season 2 of Krypton when I saw that it was on the CW Seed. It was marginally better than season 1, and I liked that Wallis played a bigger role. I was amused by Lobo, but still don't like Seg. As we've discussed elsewhere on this site, it's hard to like a show when you don't like the main characters.

I watched the first few episodes of Pennyworth. I really like Alfie's character and his ability to navigate the grey areas, and I liked Martha. But the violence is a little too realistic and bloody for my tastes. Wouldn't it be interesting if the show included the birth of Alfie's daughter, Julia? Maybe that's when Alfie decided to take Thomas up on his offer?!?

I watched all of season 1 of Stargirl. Overall, it was okay, a bit predictable, and definitely aimed at teens - more than a couple of times I just wanted to send the kids to their rooms without dessert. Will I watch season 2? Hmm, maybe... probably, just because it's superheroes.

I watched the first few episodes of Swamp Thing. I really wanted to like this. They kept teasing clues, and then adding more clues, but don't reveal anything, kinda like Lost - all clues and no closures. There's not enough of title character. I kinda liked Abby, but no real connection. I really hated Maria (a credit to Virginia Madsen). Maybe I'm too A.D.D., but the show wasn't moving along fast enough for me and I lost interest. Maybe I didn't give it enough of a chance?

I have Gotham, Titans and Doom Patrol in my netflix queue.

I looked into The Boys - altho I love Karl Urban, and the premise of the show sounds interesting, it looked too violent, like, mayhem for the sake of mayhem.

@athena69

The Boys is quite violent. Like Preacher, it's not for everyone.

Pennyworth is an absolute favorite of mine, some really great characters. Martha Kane, now Wayne, is awesome. If she wasn't murdered in the comics when Bruce was a kid, I'd say she was Kate's role model.

Spoilery perhaps

The birth of Tom's and Martha's baby is not who you might think.

I can totally see that! Maybe Paragon of Courage runs thru the female line of the Kane family?

<< Sorry, don't know how to do the SPOILER hidey thing >>

The birth of Tom's and Martha's baby is not who you might think.

Bruce had an older sibling? Hmm, did not know that, but maybe, that's why they did the show - to flesh out a few backstories, give a little more meaning to why the "modern" characters now are why they are. I can see a few similarities between Alfie and Julia. Maybe I'll finish getting caught up on the episodes this summer while the rest of the Arrowverse shows are on hiatus.
