Seen episode 1 and 2, which were very intriguing.
Are you further forward? If so how is it shaping up.
"Butters, stop smushing snake, the nearly-gentleman is here".
I'm loving this season. The way that the slow has slowly developed over the last couple of seasons from the standard sitcom format to overarching storylines to a heavily serialised show is great imo. 20 seasons in and they've managed not just to keep up the quality but give the show a whole new lease of life. This last episode felt a little bit disjointed, you can tell the election results threw them, but overall they pulled it off.
Highlight was of course the James Bond parody stuff. They really nailed it. I loved Gerald trying not to laugh at his own jokes and the way they exaggerated the whole curteous Bond/villain dynamic (reached it's natural conclusion with the guy aggressively screaming "ARE YOU ALRIGHT, MR BROVLOSKI"). And the reveal of the others (all wearing the same suits and all sent to spy "like James Bond") was really funny and also true to life (it's the perfect trap: who wouldn't jump at the chance to be Bond?).
Really excited to see how the rest of the season plays out. I'm still convinced Cartman is playing some elaborate long con, I really don't think the kid who once froze himself to get a games console would take kindly to all his electronics being broken. I'm expecting something even more twisted than what he did to Scott Tenorman.
I really enjoy this show every Sunday evening and like the diverseness of the various policemen that represent the various regions and cities in Germany, Swiss & Austria.
You could be right actually. Either way I can't see the new Cartman lasting past this season. What stuck out to me in the last episode was when he shouted at Butters and I realized that it was the first time we've heard them use that iconic angry voice all season. When he inevitably does revert back to normal (or reveals he's been playing them the whole time or whatever) it's gonna be great to watch.
Only downside to this season is the lack of Randy (he's got a storyline but has relatively little to do apart from slag off Garrison and Star Wars) and Kenny (and, call me a traditionalist, but I do wish they'd kill him off at least once per season, I'm sure it's been a couple of years since they last did) imo. Other than that it's been brilliant and I can't wait to see what happens next.
Oh you're in for a treat! It's hilarious, awkward, wild and sometimes...insightful. So good. Superhans is the best, Johnson is brilliant. And the leads are perfect. Enjoy!
On a side note noticed some of Netflix content is now downloadable :-bd
Great to have the show return and it looks like Ivar's going to be a great character to watch.
Between 2013 and 2014, Warner Bros. Animated rebooted its animated Batman output with this short-lived television series. Only 26 episodes were broadcast before the series' untimely cancellation. Following the computer animated style of the GREEN LANTERN animated series, BEWARE THE BATMAN is entirely CGI.
In case this discourages you to give the series a try, I'd beg you to put aside your fears. BEWARE THE BATMAN looks good and it takes about five minutes to come to that realisation. Also, the action scenes are pretty impressive for an animated show.
We return to the earlier days of Batman's career. The police, including Gordon, haven't yet gotten used to the idea of Batman being a friend instead of a foe. But don't worry, there are plenty of villains Batman can fight to demonstrate his reliability. Speaking of which, for once we're not turning to the more famous supercriminals. No Joker, Penguin, Riddler, Mr. Freeze, ... Instead we get Ra's al Ghul, Man-Bat, Magpie, Silver Monkey, Killer Croc, Deathstroke, Humpty Dumpty, Anarky and some weird types like Grant Morrison's Professor Pyg and Mister Toad. Again, are you discouraged? Don't be. No matter how in love we are with the better known villains, it brings a sense of freshness to focus on some of the less famous baddies.
Alfred seems lifted from the pages of Batman: Earth One. He's a fighter, a former MI6 agent who still has some kicks and moves in him. We don't get a Robin. Instead we get Tatsu Yamashiro, a.k.a. Katana, and she has some moves too, baby. Barbara Gordon makes for a witty and likeable ally as Oracle. Harvey Dent, by contrast, is an annoying and confused man. Sadly, the series wasn't given a chance to have him transformed into Two-Face; he's certainly unlikeable enough to allow for it.
But you know how things go. The folks at Warner's aren't known for their smart judgement. BEWARE THE BATMAN didn't appeal to girls and so it had to be cancelled. Or so some people claim. Frankly, I take that as a load of bull. They want $$$ because "just" $$ isn't good enough. Rather than give the series an honest chance, which I think it deserved, they cancelled it prematurely. *Sigh* At least we're left with 26 very good episodes.
Batman fans will likely enjoy this series. I dare say adult fans even more so than youngsters. You see, despite the CGI style, further down the series things get more complicated, refined and intricate. Batman can be pretty harsh sometimes and the villains' motivations aren't always simple. Regardless, the visual style alone is enough to make me love this series. Turn off the lights and let the colourful CGI do its job. Shiny surfaces, beautiful designs, sterile buildings and roads, ... there's a geometrical quality to the images in this series that I must confess I really love to watch.
No Kevin Conroy this time but you know what, that's not at all a problem. We get some very talented voice actors among whom names like Kurtwood Smith, Tara Strong, Matthew Lillard, Udo Kier, CCH Pounder, Adam Baldwin and Xander Berkeley.
Whether cancelled over declining popularity or as a consequence of chaotic broadcasting schedules, I wish they had kept this series going. BEWARE THE BATMAN isn't of the same quality as BATMAN THE ANIMATED SERIES but it's an enjoyable alternative take on Batman nonetheless.
I've seen the first adaptation based on a novel by Stephen Hunter called Point of Impact that came out in the form of a motion picture with Mark Wahlberg starring in the title role, Shooter, released in 2007 and was talked about a potential development into a franchise that could have rivaled Bourne. However, despite the author of the novel writing further books than the first alone, the film didn't spawn any sequels. I remember enjoying it when it came out.
Now, with Wahlberg executive producing along with Antoine Fuqua, Ryan Phillippe replaces the aforementioned actor as Bob Lee "The Nailer" Swagger, a former US Marine Sniper, who is hired by corrupt Secret Service agent and former Marine himself, Colonel Isaac Johnson to prevent a potential assassination attempt on the US President. But, as things progress into the heart of the story, Swagger is framed for assassinating the Ukranian president (in the TV Series, different targets in the film and the novel, individually). While fighting a conspiracy laid against him, Swagger must go on the hunt of the real shooter and expose the party that did him wrong while going about to protect his family from the conspirators.
Watched the first two episodes and I'm hooked. Sure, it's developed for the television medium and the story is slowed down, alongside additions were made that are not present in either media (book and film).

You're welcome, my friend! Enjoy! :D
Addictive, like heroine, that's how I'd describe this show. It took me about five minutes of the first episode to realize that RICK AND MORTY is made for me. I've now watched both seasons twice in under two weeks, read all the comics and bought a t-shirt that has Rick saying, "I'm sorry but your opinion means little to me." Knowing that season 3 is in the works but not knowing when exactly it's going to be released keeps me up at night. Can you tell I'm a fan?
The comedy is simple but perfect. The characters are modelled after and compiled from well-known film and cartoon characters and yet, despite the obvious references, they're surprisingly unique. You cannot but love them instantaneously. Taking satire ten steps further than THE SIMPSONS and FUTURAMA, two series I worship, ever did, RICK AND MORTY is the bad boy of the bunch. The best way to spit on the PC world? RICK AND MORTY!
