  1. Birds of Prey was, sadly, made just a few short years before it would have been really good. The CGI cityscapes are jarring, the costumes are when we still had big bulky plastic-looking ones, etc. Other than that, though, it’s not a bad show. It’s a Batman-without-Batman with all-female leads.

    And if you haven’t seen Watchmen yet, you need to see Watchmen.

    I actually liked Batman v Superman. The funny thing is, had I watched it in the theatre originally I’d probably not have enjoyed it as much. But watching it at home (with a pause button) was a different experience.
