Anyone watch Heroes back in the day? It was great television, before it completely fell apart in its last year. The new show looks good, and I think is worth a watch.

I found the second season to be good, but then that writers strike happened cut the season at like 10 episodes, and it was a year before it came back, and it started to struggle starting in Season 3. Too many new characters with new abilites, while old ones were getting shunted sideways. Then the Carnival fiasco.

agreed
Silicon Valley and The League are probably the best comedies since Arrested Development. So awesome. I agree too... not a bad character on the show. I go back and forth between Gilfoyle and Erlich as my favorite.
I really liked the Peter Gregory character. Unfortunately the actor who played him, Christopher Evan Welch passed away during the filming of the first season.

His Burger King scene should go down as an all time classic.
Yeah that was brilliant.

Suicide Squad has no relationship to JLA.

LoF, I know you're also a big fan of the DC Animated universe
......biggest news for me coming out of comic con, was that they're going to have a Bruce Tim produced "The Killing Joke" adaptation coming out in 2016.
I'm exponentially more interested in that, than any Suicide Squad movie, or seeing Jared Leto's joker........also means a probably return to the role for Mark Hamill, as he's said in the past that's the one seminal Joker portrayal that would pull him out of retirement.

Yeah, I saw that news about The Killing Joke too, which is one of my favorites. Given that the graphic novel is relatively short and skimpy, I can only imagine how awesome it might be if they keep the tragic scene, but build a ton of additional action and suspense (and hopefully story?) into the rest of the film. That said, I have to confess that it does kinda bum me out when they do these adaptations because I already know the payoff scene in advance, and I pretty much always prefer not to know (which is why I don't read the GOT books lest they remove the element of surprise for me). For that reason, I prefer original stories, but the lazy bastards keep recycling the tried and tested tales that we already know.
An interesting thing to look at is the Wikipedia page on the DC Animated titles, which shows their total gross sales numbers, which are tailing off badly since the initial several films. Makes me a bit nervous that they may scale back the number of releases each year, or skimp on the quality. I was reminded of this when I saw just the one new release announcement.

It's pretty weird how they don't keep Hamill and Conroy for each Batman/Joker film.
They are both so superior to any of their replacements, it's not even funny. Ha ha.

Conroy/Hamill have been in all three Rocksteady games: Asylum, City, and Knight. They skipped Origins but that was a different company. (At least with regards to games)
Troy Baker is a pretty good Joker, IMO....and Batman incidentally.
