    Well, since you're begging me.

    Parting shot: In this theoretical show, the Joker is actually Bruce Wayne from a far flung future where everything has gone wrong, out to turn himself into the hero he needs to be to save the world.

    I can give you bad ideas regarding batman if I tried.

    A taste. Batman and joker are room mates in a sitcom, Harley is the loveable nextdoor neighboor that the joker secretly pines for. Meanwhile Batman has to learn to loosen up otherwise he will loose his parents fortune as a result of a comedic set of happenstances.

    Will these two learn to deal with their unlikely relationship, will Harley give Joker the time of day?

    Maybe they'll get Tom Welling to be Bruce Wayne, when Smallville ends. They won't even have to find a new actor! :D

    This idea keeps getting better!

    Please fucking stop. Someone with the CW is going to google this accidentally, find this thread and make one of these shows. Worse, they'll combine it all and make one fucking insane amalgamation, as they're the fucking CW.

    This will inevitably result in Christopher Nolan, dressed in a Batman costume, breaking into your houses and killing you for ruining Batman.

    So stop. If not for our sakes, for your own.

    Clearly batman needs to be a misunderstood emo tween as well. Misunderstood and alone as he is an orphan. Segregated from his peers, taunted and ridiculed by the popular boys.

    The penguin could be the jock as that is clearly logical.

    Im sure that when Lana Lang left smallville she actually made her home in Gotham where she used her profound kung fu skills to train Bruce in the ways of being a master of martial arts and investigation.

    I'm also sure Pete Ross also may have spent some time making Bruces family cars more bad ass, as street racing has made him the fucking boss of all things vehicular.

    In fact what if

    Isn't it fun?

    However, I've been convinced that CW doesn't need our help, and perhaps I'm marketing them to *mumble-mumble*...

    Is anyone else watching the series finale tonight? While I've enjoyed Season 10, the last episode was pretty bad. With Darkseid, Lex, Lionel, and a wedding in just two hours, the extra angst coming from the end of the episode is just annoying.

    Not yet, but its been built up over the season that he'll wear the Superman suit and fly before the end. The writers have also hinted at the Superman theme music being played in the last five minutes.

    Alright so question, I gave up on this show shortly after Lois started being seriously involved in it, I was considering coming back to watch it and just muting it every time she got on screen but reading this thread second thoughts doesn't do it justice, is it worth the effort or not?

    I disliked Lois when she first appeared, but over the last few seasons she's gotten better. If you start watching again, you may just have to force yourself to watch a season or two even though it get kind of bad. I stopped watching for about half a season before picking it up again, but seasons 9 and 10 are definitely worth the bad parts IMO.

    Took him 10 Seasons and the ending of the damn series for his ass to fly on his power. Fucking bullshit and they need 2 hours for this?

    Its not so much that I dislike her character personally, I simply dislike what happens to Clark when shes involved in the plot. Somehow her (and Lana) simply being a focus of the plot of the episode reduce Clarks IQ into the single digits. If it only happened once or twice ever Id be alright with it but it was criminally stupid to me that Clark ever needed to be saved in any capacity by Lois. He's Superman for cripes sake, he should not need to be rescued by the reporter.

    I have no problems with strong female characters but when the only way the writers can come up with to make them look strong is making the men too stupid to accomplish anything without the girls leading them around by the nose the writers have failed.

    I think Lois's version of Clark is a little better in season 10. He is pretty competent.

    But she is a little... Fan girlish. Which in itself pisses me off.

    I liked this season, I ignore the darkseid episodes cause really that is a pointless plot. But the rest of the season is fan service that is overdue.

    As for the last Episode.

    50% The FUCK? 50% :awesome

    The fuck Side:
    the entire episode is a clip show, its campy, looses what little realism this series has, and just serves to boost up clarks ego.

    CGI flying superman was horrible, and could have definitely had better work done to make it epic.
    Storyline of episode was horrible, and pointless and somehow retcons the entire universe to what it should have been with quick lois Jiber Jaber.

    The :awesome side:
    Thats pretty much all necessary to get my geek on in part to an actual superman episode. If you watch any of the DC animated series you will see the striking similarities to the plot style. We finally get to see him fly which was not half bad. Papa Luthor was Bad ass, and Lex...

    I nearly fapped my self to unconsciousness to his awesomeness. That was truly lex luthor the way he was finally portrayed. Smart, tactical, ruthless, and that edge of actual confidence that he was up to the challenge to take on Superman.

    TLDR;
    Overall, if you already had to suffer through any of the veritas storyline, suck it up and just watch season 9 and 10 to atleast enjoy yourself a little bit. You deserve it after the Veritas Bullshit.

    The finale was worth it if only to see Lex again. Lex, Lionel, Jonathon, and Martha all in the same ep... it felt like an episode from the early days.

    I used to watch the show, and have a quick question:
    How many dudes that are to become, or have already become, superheroes(-villains) have appeared?
    For example, Green Arrow is one. There is also Supergirl if I remember correctly. I'm sure there's a bunch of others. I was wondering who.

    Also, another question.
    Should I start watching the series from the beginning? I remember little from when I was actually following it. Is it worth it?

    The only thing in that whole finale that made any sense, was how Clark first got his suit. Because ROFLOLOL @ Matha Kent sewing a baby blanket into an indestructible Supersuit of Awesome.

    Otherwise: Yawn/5.
