Board 8 > Comics TV show topic: first of the season, def gonna purge fast [gotham]

(+) Yeah! (+)

Gotham is back tomorrow on FOX on its new night. The Inhumans, which pretty much no one is actually excited for, starts next Friday on ABC. Lucifer returns/The Gifted premieres the following Monday on FOX. Supergirl, The Flash, and Legends of Tomorrow return the week after that, and Arrow comes back the week after that.

That's all I see for now but there might be something else new (or old) I'm not following yet.
---

Oh shit I didn't know Gotham was tomorrow. Pretty excited about that!

I was literally watching Teen Titans Go having accepted that is it just random comedy and not an actual superhero show of any kind

S2 of Preacher finished recently. Anybody who hasn't seen it yet should watch it

S2 was not as good as S1. Way too much time spent on Tulip being less cool than in the comics.
---

My biggest issue with it was Jesse being kinda lame for most of it. He had some good moments, but a lot of boring just wandering around moments too. Kinda wish Cassidy got to do more too

Slight correction, Arrow does come on the same week as Flash/Supergirl/LoT, not the week after.

Preacher spent way too much time in that small dingy apartment, any moments spent outside of that place was when the show was truly entertaining. Herr Starr and anything to do with the Grail was excellent. I think they should start following the comics a little bit more because the comic accurate stuff has been the stuff that's truly excellent.
---

Hitler was amusing and I heard he wasn't really in the comic? I agree though basically all the best stuff happened outside that apartment. Herr Starr is pretty damn amazing. His little backstory intro was hilarious

Oh you're right. I was looking at MyEpisodes for the upcoming weeks and when I saw Supernatural listed shortly before Arrow on my list, I must've misread it as another Supergirl and thus thought it was into the next week. Possibly further confused because Gotham was listed next to Supernatural and I'm used to seeing Gotham/Supergirl together on Mondays.
---

It's obvious Preacher has a ton of budget issues. I'm pretty sure they spent almost all of it on the first few episodes, which is why the vast majority of the season was just in the same place.
---

With regards to Arrow how long do you guys think it will take before major season 5 finale spoilers it's revealed nobody important died on the island?

I give it half of the first episode if the commercial before it airs doesn't reveal it ahead of time lmao

None of that hell stuff is in the comic, except loosely with the Saint of Killers origin. The hell stuff in the show was decent at times, though I feel like it was done just to keep Arseface relevant for another season.

The Season 6 trailer I saw gave me the impression that Oliver's baby mama dies, since Oliver is seen taking care of the kid.

You're probably right, the first half, or even earlier. Ideally, it should be at least the last few minutes or even the 2nd episode.

I said important for a reason.

I guess fair enough.

Sadly for another season I have to wonder if Roy is ever showing up again. At this point it basically feels like he's done with the show :(

The actor recently said that "Roy's coming back very soon", but didn't say anything about if it's only for a guest appearance or something more significant.

In a non-tv comic related question have Robin and Raven ever been romantic? It always seemed like they were really close and had the strongest bond of anybody in the group in the animated stuff.

Raven tried seducing Dick when he was in a relationship with Starfire, and he had recurring dreams about it too. But no solid relationship or anything.
---

I guess I shouldn't be too surprised since some romances are kept the same all the time no matter how many different versions and writers they go through.

I googled it and think I found it. The art looks pretty old so it must have been many years ago. Now I'm randomly wondering what Superhero has been with the most men/women and feel it's probably either Batman or Iron Man.

So, despite the shows being set in different universes, Constantine, Lucifer and Preacher all technically operate in the same rules for Heaven and Hell. God has never appeared in any of the universes and appears to be missing in two of them. Angels appear to be able to slow down time at will in two of them. Hell is structured with the same punishment system (reliving the same variation on your worst moment forever) in all universes. And Satan is missing from hell in Preacher which could be attributed to his vacation on Earth in Lucifer.

And since Constantine is set in the Arrowverse, that means that Arrow shares continuity with Preacher!

Marvel - Cyclops

DC - Wonder Woman (Harley Quinn is racking up points though)
---

My guess is Black Widow
---

I would love to see Diggle's reaction to Cassidy being a vampire. Also he should meet Liv and then he can be one of the few people that has met a vampire, zombie, aliens and metahumans.

I mean technically he's already met the undead in Sara and Thea.

Wow both of these are really surprising to me. I only had New 52 experience and some animated shows, but it felt like Batman had 20 girlfriends just in those. I also thought Cyclops was ALL about Jean aside from when he was with Emma.

He's had girlfriends, but Batman has only screwed one or two - they're all beards.

Cyclops - with his three (?) is actually at the top since Spidey has hardly ever gotten past a superficial dating stage with most women and no one else really screws around that much.
---

These answers are way lower than I expected for characters who have been around for like 50 years. I mean what BILLIONAIRE PLAYBOY has only slept with two girls XD

He's not a playboy!

I'm excluding people who sleep with nameless randos, however.

As soon as I heard Satan was missing, i immediately thought of Lucifer. God has technically appeared in Preacher though in the season finale, he is dog-man.

I think people who sleep with nameless randos is what swordz was looking for when he mentioned Iron Man.

Missing in the sense that no one knows where he is. I mean, a random redneck who kills people thinks he's wearing a dog suit.

Ah, then in that case, the answer for DC is probably like Hal Jordan for heroes.

Not really, but I'm still surprised how low it is. I know Batman has been with Talia and Selina, but I thought there were others he hooked up with other than just some causal kissing and dating.

I just googled it and this weird list told me he once married Lois Lane and slept with Black Canary. The Lois one was literally a panel of Superman jealous that Lois was marrying Batman for his actual self and not because he's Batman lmao what the hell

Lois thing is out of continuity though.

The "legit" Batman list is something like 5 - Black Canary, Vesper, Catwoman, Talia... I want to say he never actually slept with Silver St. Cloud? It's been a while since I've read that storyline. Wonder Woman was serious for a while.

Wonder Woman is probably the most ridiculous list. Superman, Batman, Aquaman, Steve Trevor, Hal Jordan (alluded to several times), that black guy who was in her series in the 00s for a short period of time, a couple other love interests. Hints at possibly some Amazons, too. It's always been pretty subtle. She did once say, "It's not called Paradise Island for nothing."
---

Black Canary has the dubious distinction of being the only character to sleep with both DC and Marvel characters in continuity.
---

Never heard of Vesper before

She was a reporter that was at the certain of the Bruce Wayne: Murderer/Fugitive story arc.
---

Wolverine has been alive for how many years? He's surely slept with more women than anyone else
---

Interesting. Is there an agreed upon worst superhero romances ever? I'm also curious where some characters came from and if the books they were in were any good. Characters like Catgirl and Duela or any other character that is a superhero/super villain son/daughter I guess. So many apparently have them that I was never aware of and never see so I'm guessing that project idea failed?

Punisher trailer because fuck yeah Punisher.

I am so beyond hyped for Punisher, just harms my heart to see my favorite character get the complete adaptation he deserves.

Woo Punisher. Haven't seen anything other than Daredevil S1-2 though

Pretty sure Daredevil Season 2 will be the only thing you'll have needed to see. Defenders made no mention of him that I recall.
---

Yeah, I just haven't seen any of the others yet. I'm pretty slow when it comes to watching stuff these days.

What would I need to know about the DC Rebirth thing if I wanted to try and get back into comics? I assume it like wipes the New 52 clean?

It doesn't but you should read Snyder's run first in the Bat-Books.
---

I read some of it, but I'm not too sure where I left off. I wonder if the Rebirth Titans are better. The New 52 Titans were pretty terrible so just about anything should be better lol
