@kr1shnaaustin I genuinely just think they wanted to start smaller and subdued so if people like it, once they take off they won’t have to worry about slowing down again.
Like if they went intergalactic and then told a murder mystery on Earth after people would be even more upset.
@Rebel0fReality Id personally want Tim to have been the Robin mostly on the basis of being early enough in Batmans career for big villains like Bane to be newer threats, but also because Tim and Batfam members introduced during his time aren’t shown in most media and are borderline unknown to GA
@Rebel0fReality My issue is really just how it works from a cinematic universe perspective, Batman will have had gone through 4 Robins in a vacuum before landing on his 5th and engaging with the rest of the DC universe onscreen.
@Superman_Fan_49 They’ll hate you for saying you like Supergirl’s character but she is one of my favorite characters in DCU and I’m incredibly excited to see where she goes.
@GeminiJack11@Superman_Fan_49 Not to diss Terrific cuz I love the guy but he had like 20 minutes of screentime and was never the sole focus, Hal and John have had like 7 hours of screentime each and they are the only focus of the show.
It’s just not a valid comparison.
@Fanman4646 If Hal is 50 in 2016, 40 in ‘06, 30 in ‘96, 20 in ‘86, which would make him 9 in ‘75
(Assuming he’s exactly 50 in 2016 this would mean his birthday was same year his dad died)
It’s tight but he’s usually a younger adult when he gets the ring (after being a test pilot).
@Nerdy_Weirdo It’s funny cause most people watching the show really like Hal and are relating to his character more as the show moves on, like the people who dislike him most are the ones saying the show is ruining him for others.
@utacult The ball could mean life, his dad wanting to let go cause it’s exhausting and Hal deciding to hold on,
The ball could just be a metaphor for the ring and his role as Green Lantern,
Or it could stand for both and really highlight Hal’s willpower for better or worse.
@J52409123@AxelTalksFilm Adding onto a character without removing something is quite literally what every comic book character ever has done repeatedly over almost a century.
@J52409123@AxelTalksFilm How did it fundamentally change his character he exhibits the exact traits Hal Jordan is known for and carries the same message of that trauma driving him to be better.
Are those not the fundamentals for Green Lantern
@x0Starlight Character-wise it’s not even an attack or huge change, Hal is still reckless and his trauma drives his willpower.
If you ask me this is leagues better than his father being an abusive asshole which is one of the two ways he’s been portrayed.
@x0Starlight It’s a little weird how people want adaptations to be 1:1 with comics so that they can get direct story adaptations that cinematic universes and live action CBM’s have never done and will never do because it leads to bloat and directionless storytelling or limiting creativity.
@deanwinchester I’m more of a smile cause it happened kinda guy normally but when it comes to Mr. Grey but Golden I can’t bring myself to lose him.
I get that being stuck on Hal in a cinematic universe would’ve stunted fans from other Lanterns but it still hurts idk
@akachi_is Well technically the costume was in episode 2 >_>
I also heard a rumor that John won’t even be in his suit till the movie which I don’t want but also I’m fine with, I’ve already come to the understanding that this is a character show more than a superhero one.
@NoQuarter_DC People talkin about him being fearless cause he’s broken being insulting to his character, like mf he’s only Mr. Willpower cause his dad died infront of him no matter what iteration of the character it is, that’s trauma pushing him forward 😭
@IstarFlash They’ll hang you for this.
Although a Batman that can have both fantastical and masterclass grounded street stories directed by someone who’s proven to give us the latter would be peak outcome-
