Metamorpho is a tremendously awesome character. Be it in his assorted solo books (none of which are yet available in digital), the different volumes of Batman and The Outsiders (as well as non-Batman Outsiders series), Justice League Europe and/or The Terrifics (among other titles), he’s just FUN.
He is underrated, especially in the toys and collectibles ecosphere, where has precisely 0 toys and/or collectibles (McDonald’s even skipped him in their BTB promotion; what clowns!).
Which Tobias Whale do you like best outside the comics: BTB or Black Lightning?
Both are so good, but Krondon’s portrayal on Black Lightning is absolutely top tier. I wouldn’t hesitate to call him the best villain in the entire CWverse. The only one who comes close is Tom Cavanagh Reverse Flash.
Black Lightning hasn’t held my interest continually, so I’d lean more towards the BTB iteration, especially since it was his first go-around in animation (which is one of the things that made BTB so good in the first place), and I tend to prioritize animation over live-action.
Me too. I tend to favor animated adaptations myself. But Krondon lent a level of nuance rarely seen in the CW to the character. It was mesmerizing to behold. He was always the strongest part of the show.
Are you taking suggestions for future Watch-Alongs? Because it might be fun to do a “Terrible Terrible Trio Trio”: the BTAS Terrible Trio episode, the The Batman '04 Terrible Trio episode, and the Brave and the Bold Terrible Trio episode.
Suggestions are always welcome. Next Saturday is booked, and the one after might be as well (still noodling about a couple options for it) but at some point “in the not-too-distant future” , that’s an option that could certainly work.
