DMZ is a very timely story for HBO to adapt, though it looks like they've made some pretty substantial changes already, which they would kind of have to, in any case.

Peacemaker trailer
The Head of the Hydra
And we got the critic review roundup for Peacemaker.
First episode is out in 2 weeks.
"I am Alpharius. This is a lie."
Reviews seeem middling to good, but this bit stuck with me:
I've been feeeling much the same about it. Suicide Squad had a cast of truly amazing characters (Ratcatcher, King Shark, Bloodsport all being a lot more interesting to me) and they chose one of the least interesting whose arc and story I felt was already pretty well-told to completion.
"All you Fascists bound to lose."
The Head of the Hydra
I assume Peacemaker got the spin-off due to a combination of John Cena's star power and like Dwayne Johnson being a workaholic up to make anything.
At the very least regardless of how you feel about PM it is pretty cool how a really obscure character has been catapulted to mainstream success now.

Lies and Violence!
CW up for sale by Warner. Not sure what this means for all the shows, I'd assume they'll be shunted over to HBO Max.

My longshot hope is that Peacemaker is getting all this attention so he can grow enough to have the mentor role the comics version had to Jaime Reyes. Bored John Cena half heartedly coaching a teenager through a fight sounds like a good time to me.
Face me now, Bitch!

And nothing of value is lost, to be honest.
The Head of the Hydra
Well Superman & Lois should be fine, not sure about Naomi though especially since her show hasn’t started.
Oh man that be fun. I really wanna see that now.

I just hope the Arrowverse doesn't get axed now.

The article claims to its too early to tell, considering Warner Bros has claimed to be selling off assets like WB Games in the past, and nothing came from that.
Naomi apparently isn't part of the Arrowverse...and it will have it's own take on Superman
Foreign Troper
Guess it will go the Stargirl route then.
Still hope for an eventual multiversal crossover.

So Peacemaker is out today with a 3 episode premiere.
We should make a thread for it if we already haven’t.

By all means.

New CW Show about John Diggle...

Well... we kinda had to expect something with Diggle keeping being back, but this was probably not it.
Wake me up at your own risk.
The Head of the Hydra
I think the reason why Diggle hasn’t become Green Lantern yet is because WB is preventing them from doing so because they want to do their own GL projects.

It just makes the dangling they are doing with the whole GL stuff really annoying. Either get it on with the ring slinging or stop teasing it.

Doom Patrol Season 4 is apparently introducing Casey Brinke: https://www.murphysmultiverse.com/exclusive-doom-patrol-season-4-to-introduce-casey-brinke/
I am wondering how smoothly they will be able to integrate her into the show, because so far, the show has struggled with having more than five or six major characters per episode.
Also curious if they will hire an actual amputee to play her; so far, despite being a show about people with various disabilities, I think the only disabled actors in the main cast have been Brendan Fraser (spinal and knee injuries) and Abigail Shapiro (cleidocranial dysostosis).

By now, it should be clear to all except the most dense of us that sheep are secretly conspiring to kill us all and steal our pants.In a recent video interview with The Cyber Nerds, Matt Reeves clarified that the "Gotham PD" series has pivoted focus towards the Arkham Asylum-centric series I mentioned prior. "Leaning into the idea of… a horror movie or a haunted house that is Arkham”. (7:09):
Harper Row and her brother have been cast in the CW's Gotham Knights series [1]
Mild update, but DMZ is confirmed for a 2022 release and marketed as a limited series. (1:01)
