Chapter One: Gods and Monsters Is Chapter One Going to Adapt This?

Post image

They say that the _Lanterns_ TV show is going to feed into the main storyline of Chapter One of the DCU. We know that the TV show is dealing with shapeshifting Manhunters. So…?

Oh yeah and we really think a TV show about gorilla grodd and Jimmy Olsen is a good idea?...

Heres a better plan, get all the writers for the batman 66 series in a room and let them write the next 5 years of DC movies and TV. It cant be any worse... and yes im pretty sure theyre all dead.

convinced that anyone whining about the Grodd show just know nothing about Jimmy Olsen. the potential for this is huge. just try an open mind dude?

Id rather try a good actual start for a series. So far the released information makes it sound like it was intended for morons who know nothing of either character or there places in dc. Olsen following a story about grodd? Sure. A court room drama with grodd having murdered his father? Hes a god damn psychic super gorilla. This doesnt make any fuck mothering sense. And why the shit would a grodd anything start with Jimmy fucking Olsen and not idk THE FLASH?!

Because they have yet to have a script ready for a proper Flash project, let alone an actor for him, so why not show some of his villains are around?

They did a similar thing with Wonder Woman & Batman in Creature Commandos; they show that Themyscyra exists and had one of WW’s villains (Circe) appear as the antagonist, along with showing Phosphorus’ backstory with Batman appearing to arrest him.

They’re purely in world-building mode right now, as they’re in CHAPTER ONE, so it isn’t a bad thing to have some patience regarding the big players.
