@joshualapinbertone.bsky.social and I are rating Supermans based on how likely they were to have dated a mermaid in college. Corenswet may be the most likely in the live action category

I see so many people say variations of “Guy Gardner became mean after is coma because of brain damage,” but like…where was that established? What issue? I know about the JLI joke about Batman punching him and him becoming nice until he got hit again, but that’s a diff thing.

As a children’s caregiver, Disney’s Elio comes through for foster families in the same way the live-action Lilo & Stitch failed to
Pixar's Elio and Disney's live-action Lilo & Stitch have the same plot, but different answers (and problems) for foster kids and their families

I can’t believe the HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON remake ends with Hicup putting Toothless into foster care.

. @alexjaffe.bsky.social and I are in a DC group chat where I once worked out how every version of Julie Madison across multiple continuities (the princess, the actress, the social worker) could all be the same person in a very interesting biography.
Julie Madison. I keep telling @joshualapinbertone.bsky.social he needs to write her life story. #ngl

This premise of this intro sequence is simple enough, but then it gets WEIRD around 0:51 in. It’s like midway through the song the executives said, “We need something more high concept.”

Lots of Corenswet/Gunn shirts being worn at Megacon. Those who say there isn’t any hype for the movie need to look around.

If you’re attending Megacon, come say hi to me! I’ll be here through Sunday covering the convention for Popverse. Fair warning, I’ll be dashing in and out of panels and writing articles most of the time.

Question for @bhay.bsky.social ....were the boys meant to be drawn in their civies here, or did Ariana find out Tim was Robin? Great job on the fun story Branden and Stephen! Glad Damian finally got his first kiss!

Kamala and Tim worked their asses off to try to hold the line from Trump. They knew what was at stake. Everything that is happening now is beyond gross. They tried to stop this....they warned us.
Walz: It’s on. The resistance is strong. You felt it. Americans, lo and behold, like democracy and feeding their children. So they're going to fight for these things.
