Still haven't seen this movie yet, but I have seen the courtroom scene on YouTube. Your thoughts on this "Hazbin" animatic? Personally, I really appreciate the art-style here. It's short, but I like it.

In light of the recent talks about OOT's redesign to look like puppets, I wonder how the Zelda artstyle would translate to stop-motion animation?
Not my vid, reposting it here. Hope you enjoy as much as I did!
I want to see Jean and Emma Frost team up to mindcontrol Peter, forcing him to take a day off for self-care, in the same vein as Martian Manhunter and Alfred keeping Batman on house arrest to recover.
Watch as MCU Peter Parker mentally screams "NOOO!" as they move one leg after the other like Spongebob in Plankton's first episode, marching Peter to the couch and making him do nothing but watch his favorite shows and movies/ work on scale models he's had no time for/ snack on comfort food provided courtesy of the Xavier institute for gifted children, allowing their new students the up and coming X-Men to make a name for themselves by fighting Spider-Man's battles.
Yet Peter cannot relax as these new kids are taking over his responsibility, so now he knows how Tony felt about inducting a kid into the professional superhero business. He tells the delivery guy at the door that he's being mind-controlled by two mutant psychics to watch a marathon of the Clone Wars only for his own hand to cover his mouth and muffle his voice. The other hand passes off the money, grabs the food, slams the door, traumatizing the delivery guy (better yet, dress the guy like Toby Peter working for the pizza place in the Raimi movies) all while Peter's wearing a fluffy bathrobe, slippers, spa mask and cucumbers.
Show Peter trying any which way he can to break free, but he keeps getting comedically foiled by people who have his best interests at heart. There's potential in this.
Has it been comic canon? Because I don't know how old Jimmy Olsen is in comics, what with the sliding time-scale, but I think it's like an early Captain America-Bucky thing? Is Kara still perpetually a teenager in the comics like how Spider-Man is stunted, or has she been allowed to grow up and have a life now that Clark and Lois have a child of their own? Have Kara and Jimmy Olson ever been shipped in the main comics canon? Because the ship has come up twice in adaptations now (to my knowledge, may be more) and I'd like to know if this is recent or something that's been around for a while.
And, considering the actors of the DCU's Supergirl and Jimmy Olson have yet to appear together onscreen, how do you think an interaction between the two would go given their different characterizations in that universe?
Harley's theme for a while now has been that she's broken free from the Joker, but apart from that, she seems kinda aimless without a distinct identity like the rest of Batman's rogues gallery. What's more, even though she's broken free from Joker, he's the first thing mentioned when you're introduced to Harley either before or after.
If you hate your abuser to the point they influence your life, then they've still got ahold on you through your way of thinking. Love and hate are two sides of the same obsessive coin. The best revenge you can take against a narcissist is apathy. So, since Joker already infamously owns the clown motif, Harley should have her own theme set apart, linked somewhat to him but still her own thing. So, what should be her theme? I say it should be cards!
Her playing card motif is underused. Harley was once a stray card in someone else's hand, a card of potentiality, hoping to be used with purpose and not discarded or torn in two. Now, Harley Quinn holds the deck, and she decides how the game will be played.
Sometimes, like a Harlequin magic trick card deck, you might see a bit of Joker in her, but she's more varied, and appearances can be deceiving.
Give her razor-sharp Spades, some love-bombing pheromones from Ivy for throwing cards of Hearts, have the hyenas go on a genuinely wholesome playdate with Ace the Bathound, give Harley a Club to whack enemies with while she wins a poker game for Diamonds/ send her to a Club alongside Batman on his motorcycle while she rides a pedal-bike with a card in the spokes. Have fun with it!
TBF, I think all this is missing is a proper explanation for why the werewolf looks different compared to other werewolves. If this particular strain of lycanthropy's symptoms were outright stated to be similar or even related to mange and rabies, it'd speak more to the idea of a man/beast losing themselves, kinda like a human Cujo turning against his family; maybe as a change of pace, have the Wolfman be in control of his transformation towards the beginning, but as the film goes on he loses control to the disease and gets more effed up, particularly the 4th slide here. Show the loss of one's innate humanity to an animalistic nature by using themes of real-life animals' loss of control to an illness?
Some chapters of the Cujo novel show the rabies' progression from the dog's perspective:
"Dogs have a sense of self-consciousness that is far out of proportion to their intelligence, and Cujo was disgusted with himself. He didn't want to go home. If he went home, one of his trinity-THE MAN, THE WOMAN, Of THE BOY—would see that he had done something to himself. It was possible that one of them might call him BADDOG. And at this particular moment he certainly considered himself to be a BADDOG."
"THE BOY had put a big dish of food out for Cujo, and Cujo had eaten a little bit. The food made him feel worse instead of better, and he left the rest of it alone. Now there was the growl of a truck turning into the driveway. Cujo got up and went to the barn door, knowing already it was a stranger. He knew the sound of both THE MAN's truck and the family car. He stood in the doorway, head poking out into the bright glare that hurt his eyes. The truck backed up the driveway and then stopped. Two men got down from the cab and came around to the back. One of them ran up the truck's sliding back door. The rattling, banging noise hurt Cujo's ears."
"He simply lay there, feeling the aches that filled his bones and buzzed back and forth in his head. It had gotten hard for him to think what came next in his simple dog's life; something had gotten in the way of ordinary instinct. When he slept, he had dreams of uncommon, unpleasant vividity. In one of these he had savaged THE BOY, had ripped his throat open and then pulled his guts out of his body in steaming bundles. He had awakened from this dream twitching and whining. He was continually thirsty, but he had already begun to shy away from his water dish some of the time, and when he did drink, the water tasted like steel shavings. The water made his teeth ache."
"The last of the dog that had been before the bat scratched its nose turned away, and the sick and dangerous dog, subverted for the last time, was forced to turn with it."
'"It was THE WOMAN most of all. The way she looked at him, as if to say, Yes, yes, I did it, I made you sick, I made you hurt, I devised this agony just for you and it will be with you always now."
"It would perhaps not be amiss to point out that he had always tried to be a good dog. He had tried to do all the things his MAN and his WOMAN, and most of all his BOY, had asked or expected of him. He would have died for them, if that had been required. He had never wanted to kill anybody. He had been struck by something, possibly destiny, or fate, or only a degenerative nerve disease called rabies. Free will was not a factor."
Now imagine these lines don't come from a dog, but from a loving husband and father who's scared he'll harm his wife and child. This has potential for a tear-jerking Wolfman film if done right. Your thoughts?
Got this in my YouTube recommendations
What songs do you think the cast of DC comics listen to while on the job or in their spare time?
Personally, until DC outright confirms otherwise, I am under the unflinchable belief that Nightwing Dick Grayson's favorite singer, bar none, is Freddy Mercury from Queen. Imagine him flying through the air in the circus to 'Bicycle', training as Robin to 'We Will Rock You' or doing rooftop parkour to 'Don't Stop Me Now'.
