Thoughts on the newly announced DC film/tv slate
Wanted to outline some of my thoughts on the recently announced DC slate. overall I'm pretty optimistic, and for the servearl properties where i dont know much about, there are just as many that i am super exited for. I just wanted to address some things I think we could see or concerns I've seen some people have
Creature Commandos - I don't really know much about this team, other than reading an issue or two with Frankenstein's Monster. Looking at their roster this def has a Suicide Squad or Doom Patrol feel to it so I could see this being good. Also, the fact that it might be taking place in the past (the team was initially formed in WWII) means that it think it could lean hard into the DC universe being alternate history, which could lead to us getting 50s future retro Metropolis and zeppelins over Gotham.
Waller - I think this is the one I'm least excited about. I've liked Viola Davis's Waller, it is being show-run by one of the writers for the Doom Patrol series, and I feel like this might need up being Peacemaker S1.5. So I'm not pessimistic, but I'm just way more interested in the other stuff
Superman: Legacy - I am really looking forward to this. "He is the embodiment of truth justice and the American way. He is kindness in a world that thinks that kindness as old-fashioned.” That and the info that a focus is going to be him balancing his Kryptonian and Human heritage is all I wanted in a Superman movie
Lanterns - Not as big a Lantern fan, but I've always loved John Stewart from the DCAU. A buddy cop show with him and Hal Jordan seems like a great way to balance the older comic fans of Hal with the younger ones who grew up with John.
The Authority - I've read the occasional issue with Midnighter and Apollo, but again this is another group I don't know much about. If they are allowed to go full out with the idea, I could see a proactive "fuck the system" superhero team being very popular.
Paradise Lost - I've seen some people nervous about the "Game of Thrones" comparison but I'm wondering if this means we will see politicking and conflict between Paradise Island and the other Amazon cities like the Amazons of Bana-Mighdall. This means we might get Artemis or Nubia
The Brave and the Bold - I've seen some people upset by this, the idea being that Damian is going to be the first Robin, but I highly doubt that is the case. From the way they word "introduction to the Batfamily", if I had to guess the movie will likely have Nightwing!Dick and Oracle!Babs, Jason will be referenced (and believed dead), and Tim might be in it or might be just referenced. Doing it this way could be a good way of deferantiating this Batman from Patterson's and not having us have to wait 10 years for the full Batfamily
Booster Gold -I love Booster theres not much else to say, i look forward for everyone else beign exposed to this dumbass
Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow - So ive seen alot of people nervous or unsure about this, not liking how it seems to be that we are going to get a dark and edgy Supergirl. I understand thoes conercerns and i get why the description is using that to describe the comic Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, but don't worry. I'm not Tom King's biggest fan, but this comic is Supergirl's best story in at least 20 years, arguably ever, and one of my favorite recent miniseries
The Supergirl of this story is someone who, unlike Clark lived on Krypton and saw it destroyed. Who was then cast out into space in a city full of Kryptonians who slowly died of radiation poisoning or cold. This has left her a bit more jaded and melancholy, but she's not cold or an asshole. She fights to defend those so that they wouldn't experience the trauma she did. Considering we are getting a more hopeful Superman, this would be a great way to compare the two, and avoid Supergirl falling into the trap of just being "young teen girl Superman" that she sometimes does.
The story is basically half western, half chivalric romance (romance in the original meaning of the word. It is narrated by Ruthye, a young alien girl whose father is murdered by a mercenary. Going to a local bar she begs the patrons there, only for a (very drunk) Supergirl is the only one to listen. What follows is an adventure across planets after the mercenary, with the two getting caught up in various other adventures, and Ruthye (and Kara for that matter discovering just what type of hero Supergirl is.
If you want an amazing review of it, check out the awesome Comicpop review.
Swamp Thing - I am so glad Swamp Thing is getting a second shot after the cancelation of its great show. If anyone from the original cast gets brought back I hope it's the delightful Derek Mears

habib hassan hcs!!!
palestinian-american; 16 years old. only child. parents are immigrants. arab christian. gay.
biokinesis (biological manipulation) & geokinesis (earth manipulation; think cornelia hale from w.i.t.c.h); I decided not to make him have magic-based powers bc I Hated it and how orientalist it is to give an arab magic powers ://
got adopted by midnighter & apollo when he was 15.
the jock of the family. nothing against his family but he just isnt goth-punk like them, he likes to listen to indie rock tho.
hes got curly hair; wears ear piercings; thick eyebrows.
he got the scar on his cheek from a nasty fight he got into.
nice and polite but will absolutely get into a fight if he has to. dont test him.
wants to become a botanist!! habib helps apollo w his many gardens.
also yes he absolutely does take after apollo bc nice polite and just generally pleasant characters are not boring.
went to a school with jenny q and as the older one he was responsible for her so whenever she got into a fight he is the one called to the principal's office and gets to explain (excuse) her actions to the teachers.
bc of how ligntskinned he is, he burns easily in the sun. as if the freckles arent enough.
definitely just as chaotic as the rest of the family hes just more lowkey about it bc of how nice he is,,,, he gets away w everything. also the funniest member of the family.
neutral good, which contrasts his family's extreme chaotic good morality; hes the backbone of the authority who comes up with alternate solutions to their chaos. he constantly butt heads with jack hawksmoor bc of that.
his powers reflect on his body; he constantly smells like fresh air and fragrant herbs (lavender, rosemary, basil, etc) and sometimes like rain too, theres two birthmarks on his body (veins-like on his wrist, an olive tree on his chest near his heart). hes constantly warm and gets even warmer/hotter when he uses his powers.
he looks up to superman a lot. "what would superman do?" is kinda his motto at this point.
speaking of: habib is friends with kon and the rest of the teen titans and is kinda sorta in the team (he shows up whenever he can, basically). hes also friends with cullen row, harper row's/bluebird's gay brother; the two met when midnighter worked w the batfam to track harper down and habib just. kept cullen company in the meantime.
since hes still 16 and thus not majoring in botany like he wants to, he decided to learn about plants by helping apollo take care of the garden in their home. it's free and with his powers he have an innate understanding of nature itself. habib isnt so sure about his biokinesis on the other hand tho,,, he doesnt know how to use it. did I make him a support character? yes and what about it.
very bendy!!! hes naturally double-jointed.
voted most likely to lie his way out of problems. remember what I said about him being lowkey chaotic? yeah…
you wouldnt believe it but hes actually an introvert and not extrovert.
favourite animated movie is anastasia. he'd absolutely sing the arabic version of once upon a december any & every chance he gets.
neat-freak but he wasnt always like that,,, he just became one after he got adopted.
