Sounds like they cast Supergirl (again), and I'm cracking up.
Here's what Supergirl actually looks like -- in several different styles, by several different artists, spanning several decades -- vs the ugly woman they allegedly cast. (yuck)
At least she'll probably be a blonde this time instead of a dark-haired hispanic with short hair. But who knows what James Gunn the pedophile will do with this shit I'll never go watch.
@RoninGrey To be fair, the show would be bad regardless of who's cast as supergirl. I mean, why would anyone want to watch a show about a woman who's stronger than men and behaves like one?
But I don't even get the appeal of superhero stories for the most part. I'm baffled so many people watch that stuff.
@Based_Accelerationist I liked the last Batman because it was basically a noir film. I like it when the genre isn't "superhero" but something else, in a world with heroes. I like fantasy / dark fantasy, detective / mystery films, action films, family-friendly films, philosophical films, thrillers, period pieces, war films, etc. So if a superhero movie does THAT well, I enjoy it. I really liked Watchmen, for example, and Captain America: First Avenger, but not because of "superheroes."
@RoninGrey I get it, I enjoyed the original Spiderman movie trilogy when I was a kid and the more recent Joker film, as an adult. Still, I find the super-hero theme itself unappealing, always did. I dislike the whole "protecting the weak and fighting petty crime is your responsibility" that seems to be the foundation of the genre.
And that Marvel stuff gives me the shivers. The quirky humor, the safe jokes, the lame stories and of course, the subliminal Disney agenda... blegh
