Given that 2020 is the Justice League’s 60th anniversary, it’s apropos that the announcement of the Snyder Cut came when it did.

I doubt WB had one in mind when they approved of the other, but it’s a neat coincidence all the same.

Looking forward to the Death Metal goodness! :metal:

If you’re still enjoying Lois Lane as much as I am, I’m hopeful it’s conclusion will be worthy of a news blurb.

Does that mean we’re getting additional LGBTQ-related books in our library for Pride Month? That would be amazing! Also, You Brought Me the Ocean sounds awesome and I can’t wait to check it out!

Not sure how I feel on Synder cut. Like seriously how different is this from the movie they put out? Can it be done without refilming things?

Well they did the Batman V Superman extended cut and a lot of people (critics and fans)said that it was a lot better the the theatrical version and I beleive they didn’t refilm any scenes. There’s so much they films in all movies that don’t make it to the final cut. So he prob got plenty to work with.
Hopefully this does turn out good cuz honestly asa DC fan I kinda didn’t care for justice league but I did love batman V Superman and think both movies get crapped on unjustly. Partly because it wasn’t a Marvel movie, even other marvel properties got crapped on by MCU fans like Venom, and X-men even before the came out. So many people are blinded by the MCU. Yea it’s good but not all the films and Infinity War is one of my comic movies. Both companies and movies can exist and both can be loved.
But I have faith they can rebuild the DCEU if they wanted, and change actors for sSuperman and Batman and just say JLA was just a vision or an alternate world that Diana was in. BUT they should also wait for some more single hits to come out and then slowly do some cameo and team up movies.

I noticed DOOM PATROL is on HBO MAX. Not complaining but just wondering why? Are they sharing the budget costs or something? And if so you think they can do they same for Swamp thing. That was one of the best pieces sof content on here besides all the comics.
How do others feel about some of the stuff being on HBO MAX. IMO I like it, I basically pay for this app for the comics. The old cartoons and original are just a plus. I don’t care if they share thing but just please don’t take away our originals and def not our cartoons. Theyre some of the best parts of this app, I wouldn’t care if they took the movies, but I know some of you will, but I’m here for (in order) comics, cartoons, originals, community and now even the rewards.

Sorry if this doesn’t belong here but I seen hbo max was mentioned with JL Snyder cut news.

Looking forward to Harley vs. Punchline!
