DC TV Shows (Non-Arrowverse) Timelines

Sidenote: I'd rather watch A Serbian Film than sit through an episode of Smiling Friends.

At least A Serbian Film is well made, harrowingly vile in its content but well made. Also, fiction.

Well, shit. You hate Smiling Friends so much, you'd rather watch a guy put his "screwdriver" in the eye hole. That's hatred.

To be honest, I'm not a big fan of these adult animated shows everyone is obsessing over either personally.

Yup. But yeah it was a continuing thing from what I said before that in the previous page lol.

 

[selfishmisery]

The Internet's "popular opinions" I tend to disagree with a lot.

Anyways, I'll watch Bodies (Netflix) this month. I'm removing Netflix after the Arrowverse timestamps are caught up.

Smiling Friends objectively sucks

Call me a Zoomer, but honestly...

But that's your opinion, so I'm not gonna hold it to you.

I’m out of the loop, who are these people?

Don't worry about it. That conversation is over.

I still gotta fix some of these timestamps.

BTW HBO Max is removing Pennyworth season 1 and 2 this month. So that sucks.

 

[selfishmisery]

Worth pointing out that Pennyworth on HBO Max doesn't have the label of "Leaving Soon" despite the trades saying it was leaving on January 23rd. We'll see on that, but there is other stuff on the service that is leaving on the 31st that IS labeled as such.

Also, the DC logo for it updated. Unlike Doom Patrol, unlike Gotham Knights (ended a year after Pennyworth).
In other words: Prioritized. The V for Vendetta TV project in the works might be connected to this via the new "Elseworlds" label.

 

[selfishmisery]

Pennyworth is niche but it's a beloved niche that has very vocal fans and new ones discovering it even after it was cancelled.
Rarely seen people dislike it other than some complaints about some scenes being "too dark". (So was Game of Thrones in some parts. Didn't affect it much.)

There is a market I think for at least a limited series finale, I think.

Why is it when I talk about Batwoman as a spiritual successor to the show Gotham, these little turds come out the woodwork in replies to remind me “Ack-tually, Gotham isn’t Arrowverse.”

No shit.
It’s also funny to see replies to these replies of equally unselfaware folks be like “Yeaaah EXACTLY broo (*fistbump*) what a re-re lol”. (Their words mind you, not mine.) Like they “got 1up” on me,

The one-eyed man is rent free. I got both my eyes.

They def don't know the difference between "successor" and "spiritual successor".

 

[selfishmisery]

They def don't know the difference between "successor" and "spiritual successor".

Context: Brought up the fact Richard Sionis was in Gotham and his son (Roman) was "carrying on his legacy" in Batwoman season 2.

"They're not connected"

Well, it was the same way in the comics. Black Mask's dad was a crook too.
The point of Gotham as a "backstory" is that it is a malleable, interpretive 'origin' not bound to continuity. For the most part, some of it has been taken into account for Arrowverse continuity like Mr Freeze's cyro-tests on frozen bodies and Zsasz's jovial personality. Among other things.

But clearly it's standalone. There is no "gotcha". These guys telling me the world is a circle when I know it's a damn globe.
