I wish that the animation was better because I feel like something like that would absolutely be a great place to involve animators who specialize in erotica.

The new episode of Harley Quinn was really great.

Gunn has said he is close to being done with the casting process for the Creature Commandos series.
Dead Boy Detectives are officially being moved to Netflix. To me, this further proves that DC want HBO Max to be for the DCU content while the Elseworlds content are done via partnerships.
It's convenient that the work that Dead Boy Detectives were introduced in, is also on Netflix.
Netflix now has 4 Vertigo based series with Sweet Tooth, Bodies, Sandman, and DBD.
Finally a teaser
Also coming out in 2024 is Creature Commandos animated series. Confirmed voice performers that will go between animated, live action and back to animated.
4/17 update
Finally back

More Vertigo/Netflix news
Neil Gaiman has confirmed the Dead Boy Detectives series to be part of the Sandman Universe. They were introduced in Sandman, so it makes sense to do this.
Source -If I could choose 2 to add in the future to the Sandman Universe, it would be
- Books of Magic/Tim
- Lady Bast

It's fucking hilarious how goddamned good The Flash (2014) Season 9 Episode #9 is. This shit shouldn't have been possible and yet here we are with a glorious tribute to the haggard, beaten path that the Arrowverse has traversed. It truly makes me wish Gunn would let it live on. Season 9 Episode #9 is such a "Welcome home" episode. The Arrowverse has been dying a slow, painful death these past two years and this episode makes that bittersweet farewell all the more painful. After this latest episode I am all the more unready for this long legacy to end. This episode was a hell of a shot in the arm. Give us a big team event series, please.

@JulieYBM Unforunetly, it's been the only good episode of the entire last season. Props to Danielle Panabaker for directing this one.
It seems the last 4 episodes are going to focus on closing the infamous time loop from the from the first season. That said the next episode is going to be directed by Eric Wallace, the show runner of the last few bad seasons.
And based on the summary, we're getting even more Allegra and Cecile content. Which this show really doesn't need in it's last 4 episodes.
-
My only problem with the Allegra and Cecile stuff is that it treads water so much. The way these series refuse to take place at a faster pace than the real world passage of time is what harms them the most.
I do wonder if we're going to get to meet the version of Barry from before Thawn killed his mother. That's something fans have been wanting to see for years now.
-
The penultimate episode really shows the highest and lowest points of Eric Wallace's legacy on the show.
They nailed closing the timeloop of Thawne/Barry. Have done an amazing job bringing back a certain season 1 character as a final villain of the show.
And yet it's sandwiched between some of the worst scenes of the shows history once again pushing EW's obsession with the character of Cecile in the dumbest ways. Absolute laziness in making the completely unnecessary choice to show the 2049 versions of Cecile, Allegra, and Chester......and choosing to use almost zero make up or effects to show these characters aging. Not even making a stupid reference to some Back to the Future 2-style anti aging cosmetics. Nope, just showing character that would be in their 50's(chester+Allegra) and 70's (Cecile) almost exactly as they currently are. Why? To have the 5th or 6th repeat of the "Cecile learns to be a superhero" story.
Meanwhile the main story of the villain of these last few episodes has been FANTASTIC. That season one character returning was handled great and shows this guy's actor's talent. And instead of having this take place over the majority of the season, it's been relegated to the last 4 episodes. In a shorter final season that still had "filler" episodes, and a ridiculous plot trying to fit in the cancelled Batwoman show which Eric Wallace has done since the beginning of the previous season,
Why they continued to let a dude continue to run a show called "The Flash" who has spent multiple seasons making the titular character a background character is beyond me. Grant, Candice, and the rest of the cast deserved far better for this final send off.
-
It means less time on set for Grant and Candice, both of whom have clearly been burned out from working 16 hour days for nearly ten years. I'll take more of the side character's over someone's health being ruined even more.
-
Grant and Candice's health has nothing to do with taking a chunk of the penultimate episode to focus on the showrunners' awful OC conveniently learning she has Xmen DOFP-style mental time travel, going to the future where she's 70 while doing NOTHING to "age up" the actor, only to INSTANTLY give up on her mission to save the Flash because she gets mildly upset that her now 5 year exhausting character arc of "becoming a hero" means not being around her spouse.
There are plenty of characters they could focus on to take screen time away from Grant and Candice for scheduling. Do they focus on Danielle Panabaker (who did a great job directing in this season btw), nope. Start the season by killing her characters, reintroduce her as a weird mix of her two old characters with a dash of her Sky-High powers and forget about her. Killer Frost's boyfriend who comes back claiming "time and time again, Barry never gave up on me". How many times was that? MAYBE twice? Good enough.
Hell you have TWO actors portraying Thawne! Both spent years between Flash and Legends portraying different iterations of the same character at different points in his life to great effect.
There are plenty of opportunities production wise to fill time outside of having Grant and Candice on camera. Spending a good portion on the showrunner's weird fetishized insert(Yeah not forgetting the weird super creamy fire extinguisher exploding over Cecile and Allegra this season) is not the way to do it. Especially when they could have spent more time on the final villain's arc which was relegated to only the last 3 episodes of the series.

Allegra is a Titans character from the early 2010s. He created her for that run, but she is not an OC.
-
Cecile was created by Aaron & Todd Helbing in Season One, so she isn't exactly Eric Wallace's own character. He's managed to use the character within the limited time and resources available to him to give his two primary actors time off and I really don't think that's that big an issue.
-
Oh, I thought they meant Allegra. My bad.
Well, Cecile is an 80s character.

I'll be damned, I didn't realize she was from the comics. That's neat.
-
The first few seasons actually handled Cecile greatly when they focused on her being a lawyer. It was actually a really interesting dynamic having her be a DA. Her part in the
"Trial of the Flash" story in season 4 was fantastic having her needing to give up her post to defend Barry.Then she awkwardly became a "Metahuman attorney" which was used maybe twice ? And now she simply goes around saying "Barry, I'm feeling this wave of sadness. I'm sensing anger" nearly every episode using her powers to explain very obvious emotions of other characters.

Correction - both episodes just came out on Adult Swim.
Comes out on Adult Swim in 2 days with a 2 episode premiere. Then on Max the following day. Will also be on Toonami this week.
-
It was a good premier. Lois is very self-insertable, Clark is very husband-able, and...Slade Wilson/Deathstroke is a queer twink? Well, that was a curveball.
I really love how they depict Clark's powers and give him an energy aura. I just wish the animation in general was better.
Also, Clark is amazingly hot. Hot. Hot. Hot.
-
It wouldn't be Superman if Clark wasn't hot.
-
Adult Swim put the first episode on YouTube. Watching now, a few minutes in and it’s pretty fun so far.
-
Someone finally understood that the way to fix Superman was to make him a malewife wifeguy.
-
Yeah, the first two episodes were really promising. Maybe a little basic with the story, but they've really got the characters down. Hope it gets even better!
-
You definitely feel the anime influence. But that is the cutest "first flight" scene I've seen yet.

Livewire and Maxima were some of my favorite characters in Timm's 90 series.
Episode 3 of My Adventures With Superman

-
I really like that show.
-
I can't wait for next week for the new episodes to begin.
-
Wait, I didn't notice it until his second appearance in that trailer, but is that Snowflame? The cocaine-power villian, Snowflame in animation? That's freaking crazy.
-
Whole family extra goth.

I'm about to watch Suicide Squad Isekai Episode #8, but I wanted to remind everyone that this series has been really amazing so far and I suggest checking it out. Nagase Anna is only nineteen but her performance as Harley is so cute, sweet and funny. Harley in general has an amazing design, and the cast dynamics are all really in synch. I was expecting the series to be consistently so well directed and animated, but even with the smaller bits of good animation sprinkled throughout the series I am still blown away by the fact that not only did they manage to pull off of the complexity of Episode #3, but that they were also able to deliver Episode #7. Haryley especially continues to get truly amazing fight scenes. SSI has set a new bar for Japanese adaptions of American properties.
