Who are the actors that have played as the Joker and died

EPISODE 1 - DEEP BREATH - 9/10
What an introduction to Peter Capaldi’s Doctor. The TARDIS is coughed up by a gigantic dinosaur in Victorian London and the newly regenerated Doctor comes crashing out. Also, I LOVE the new design of the titles. Peter Capaldi’s Doctor already feels so distinguished from the others, that bubbling anger mixed with the struggle to understand human emotion that was touched upon at times by Matt Smith’s Doctor (particularly during “The Beast Below” or “Flesh and Stone”). The whole interaction between the Doctor and the homeless man was brilliant, especially when you see him wearing the coat.
The restaurant scene with the Doctor and Clara develops both of their characters so beautifully, the relationship between them feels so different from any other Doctocompanion relationship we’ve had so far and the chemistry flows wonderfully. The half-face man villain is a terrifying concept and the design is great, I love the practical effect of the moving eyeball and ticking robot - it reminded me a little of the clockwork robots from “The Girl in the Fireplace”. We get another great restaurant conversation between the Doctor and the half-face man. I adore the little moment when the Doctor holds up the plate as a mirror but is also looking at himself on the other side whilst explaining his changing face. The ambiguity of whether the Doctor pushed him was so unnerving, particularly that shot of the Doctor looking straight to camera.
Clara’s phone call with Matt Smith’s Doctor was a very sweet and quiet moment that wrapped up her relationship with Smith’s Doctor beautifully. I like the idea of this Doctor needing a companion as a bridge between human emotion and his cocktail of confusing feelings, instead of the usual Doctor heralding his superior intellect over an unimportant human person that is in awe of him. Both Peter Capaldi and Jenna Coleman (no Louise now?) give fantastic performances, and Clara’s character feels different but so much better in this episode than all of Series 7.
EPISODE 2 - INTO THE DALEK - 8/10
We’re finally getting another Dalek story that isn’t just them cropping up randomly. Even the opening moment with Peter Capaldi making Blue ask him politely instead of threatening him, already such a great little insight into his character. Then we get the main premise being shrinking a team of people to go inside a patient and cure them from inside our. It’s a concept that’s been used many times but I like the twist of the “patient” being the Doctor’s greatest enemy; a Dalek.
The Doctor and Clara’s relationship continues to develop and I like that they’re still figuring each other out, not just jumping straight into being super close like Tennant and Rose when he last regenerated with a companion. It’s an interesting contrast with Danny Pink and the Doctor and the idea of soldiers that’s cropped up a few times over the series. The Doctor and Clara, inevitably, join the team entering the Dalek and the effects of them entering in that void space was beautiful. I don’t know if the show suddenly got a higher budget but the show is already so much more cinematic and beautifully shot.
Capaldi’s Doctor is already more ruthless, giving that soldier a false sense of hope before he dies and basically all his interactions with the soldiers. The slime made of dead people was disgusting and made me think of the tongue from “The Beast Below”. Clara calling out the Doctor for being pleased that he was right was a very valid point. I feel like that whole point has been better explored in this episode than the whole of “Victory of the Daleks”. The Doctor meeting the big goopy Dalek thing was another great design and I actually quite liked the CGI heavy design of the Doctor projecting himself inside the mind of the Dalek. The idea of the Doctor being a “good Dalek” is such a nuanced line given the show’s history. And then the moment of Blue wanting to travel with the Doctor compared to Clara’s budding relationship with Pink isn’t very subtle but I still found it quite interesting.
EPISODE 3 - ROBOT OF SHERWOOD - 8/10
I must confess that I LOVE Robin Hood so when I saw the beginning and title of this episode I was already excited. Clara looks adorable in her costume, I also really like that Robin Hood and the merry men are wearing the fun campy outfits. The cheesiness of old Robin Hood films and shows is honoured wonderfully and I could understand if someone didn’t like or wasn’t familiar with them and disliked this episode but, as I said, this is right up my street. I like the Doctor’s obsession with proving Robin Hood isn’t real, it reminds me a bit of Ross from Friends trying to convince Phoebe about evolution but less annoying. I liked how they filmed the arrows being shot, this series definitely feels really well crafted.
Clara continues to be developed brilliantly, I like the touches of her being a natural teacher telling off the Doctor and Robin like naught schoolboys. The Doctor being petty was very silly but Peter Capaldi does snarky so well. I wasn’t sure about Tom Riley as Robin Hood at first but I warmed up to him as the episode went on. The conclusion of the episode was a little silly firing the golden arrow but it fitted in with the overall campy feeling of the episode. The setting of the episode was done brilliantly, the castle and the forest and the contrast with the metallic-looking spaceship was gorgeous. My favourite Mark Gatiss episode since “The Unquiet Dead” and, weirdly, the weakest of his titles.
EPISODE 4 - LISTEN - 10/10
I love the idea of exploring what the Doctor does when he’s alone. It’s like the other end of what David Tennant did in his sort of “victory tour” episodes and what could’ve happened in between. I love the small episodes of character exploration, and this episode explored both the Doctor and Clara as people so beautifully. The concept of someone hiding under the bed is so simple but so scary and, like a lot of the ideas in this series so far, a concept that is so simple but surprising it hasn’t been done before. I feel like this series has done a great job of not overdoing ideas like it has in the past, and this episode feels like a fantastic example of exploring one idea in depth.
The episode is shot beautifully, I particularly loved the shot of Peter Capaldi sat on top of the TARDIS. This episode felt like it was shot like an old school horror film. We get a sort of side-by-side exploration of the Doctor and then Clara’s character through her disastrous date with Danny. I’m already liking Danny. Mickey and Rory felt like they were cut from the same cloth at times and Danny definitely feels like his own person when Rory at times wasn’t given much of a character and was treated as just Amy’s boyfriend. We even get a very sweet exploration into Danny’s character through his childhood. Actually I think we get more insight into Danny in this episode than we got in 3 series worth of Rory in my opinion. The child actor playing Rupert is great, especially when good child actors feel quite rare on Doctor Who. The idea or Rupert changing his name to Danny felt similar to Amy changing her name from Amelia - letting go of a sad childhood.
I really felt for Clara this episode, having to deal with the young Rupert then contrasting him with present day Danny and then her future ancestor that looks like him. Jenna Coleman does a great job of conveying all that panic and emotion without going over the top. She and Capaldi are both spectacular this episode, both apart and together. I loved the little moments of the Doctor being pessimistic and Clara telling him off like the schoolteacher she is.
The spaceship was very simple and not particularly different but it worked really well in the dark colour palette and feel of the episode. I really loved the red lighting in the parts they travel to the future as well, such a beautifully designed episode. The whole episode links the whole show together with that moment with Clara and the very young Doctor. I loved the little nod with John Hurt and how it answers so many questions with nuance and elegance. I loved everything about this episode, I like the idea of being a sort of companion piece to “Midnight” as it explores similar ideas.
EPISODE 5 - TIME HEIST - 8/10
The memory worm is back and in spectacular fashion. I really enjoyed the domestic opening with the Doctor and Clara and the hints of them just trying to figure out each other and what their relationship is. Another great episode concept with the memory wipe, and the “monster” of the Teller that can detect guilt is fascinating. The design of the bank is also great, it reminded me of Gringotts from Harry Potter.
The spoonhead people are just creepy enough without being too graphic. I’m glad they didn’t go too graphic because it wouldn’t have fit the fun action movie feel of the episode. The supporting characters or Psy and Saibra were fun, maybe a little underused, but the camaraderie between the four of them felt earned by the end. I liked the moment of the Doctor refusing to allow himself to feel guilt when Psy gets cross at him because of the Teller.
I loved Keeley Hawes as Mrs Delphox, another in a long line of respected British actresses guest starring in Doctor Who. The reveal of the Teller felt very reminiscent of the monsters in “Hide” but I think worked a bit better, the Teller always felt like a prisoner itself similar to the Star Whale from “The Beast Below”. The reveal of Mrs Delphox being two people was a little bit of a cop out but Keeley Hawes pulled it off very well. I liked the moment of the older Mrs Delphox calling the Doctor on her deathbed, a bit of a call back to Matt Smith’s phone call in “Deep Breath”. The ending was very “The Wizard of Oz'' but it was the sort of episode that had to have a happy ending.
EPISODE 6 - THE CARETAKER - 7/10
This is the sort of episode that we used to get when Russell T. Davies wrote the show where the companion would have an adventure on Earth that would lead to their family discovering the world of time travel. We got a kind of version of this with Rory’s dad but it took 3 series, and whilst Amy was said to have parents the show seemed to have completely forgot they even existed after that one episode. Clara’s family isn’t touched upon this episode, her ties to Earth seems to only be Danny and her job as a schoolteacher despite some mentions of her dad. Angie and Artie seem to have disappeared entirely. I like Capaldi’s version of the Doctor’s childish traits being straight-up obliviousness like the coat being a disguise or Clara’s boyfriend must be the man with the bow tie and suspenders.
The idea of Clara being stuck in the middle of the Doctor and Danny was explored in a way they never did with Rose and Mickey or Amy and Rory. I like that it explored just how emotionally tolling it is on Clara to balance a life with two different men she has different relationships with where both men don’t quite understand the importance of her relationship with the other. I do like that Danny has a whole other reaction to the TARDIS and the Doctor’s world to other people, he doesn’t just accept it straight away and join them happily (that was always something that bothered me about Rory).
The monster of the week is a bit of a weak point. I get the idea of a character study being not very Doctor Who but for an episode set in a school it was a bit of a weak villain that didn’t quite fit with the rest of the premise. I thought “School Reunion” did a better job at using the school premise. I didn’t like the addition of Courtney being a bigger character, the small moments of the annoying schoolgirl worked at times but she was a little overused - her seeing inside the TARDIS felt a little annoying.
EPISODE 7 - KILL THE MOON - 9/10
This episode felt very reminiscent of “The Waters of Mars” to me, I think just the space station setting and eerie atmosphere. The tone of it felt quite familiar. I LOVED the aesthetic of the moon’s surface and they found a way to make the design of the space station a little different, as I’ve noticed there’s been a few space stations this series already. I really didn’t like Courtney as a companion this episode, she brought absolutely nothing to the story and was just a pointless pain. It would have worked so much better had it been a way of doing the trope I explained in the last episode of introducing the companion’s family to the Doctor’s world. If the show remembered Clara had a dad and used him in Courtney’s place it could have been an interesting insight into Clara and who she was before the Doctor.
The design of the spider is very clever in that we never see it in perfect lighting. As someone with a fear of spiders I found this episode very creepy, the whole feeling of this episode was incredibly creepy. The moon being an egg is such a Doctor Who idea (like Queen Victoria being a werewolf or Stonehenge being made by aliens).
Another deep insight into character, leaving Clara alone to become the Doctor. It’s sort of an interesting parallel to “The Beast Below” in the decision to save one creatures at the expense of another. We get such an interesting development of the Doctor’s character in the section that he’s absent from the story, exploring the effect of the aftermath of his interference through Clara’s eyes. Her angry reaction is very earned and brilliantly executed by Jenna Coleman. The writers have done a fabulous job, as has Coleman, of adding so much depth to Clara and developing her as a character that feels so different to other companions. I love that Clara is not blindly in awe of the Doctor the way people like Rose and Amy and even Donna were.
EPISODE 8 - MUMMY ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS - 10/10
Clara wants to have one last adventure with the Doctor before they part ways. I like the idea of travelling with the Doctor being like an addiction and with all we’ve learnt about Clara through Series 8 it feels right that she’s one of the companions that dips in and out of the Doctor’s adventures. It’s sort of like how Jack pops in and out but then he always seemed like he wanted to stay.
The design of the Orient Express is gorgeous, this series has had spectacular production design. The shot of the train floating through space was also gorgeous. The mummy is a fantastic design and a great use of the mummy concept, using the best parts of mummy mythology (probably the best use after the way the show used vampires and werewolves). I loved the idea of the passengers being gathered as experts in their fields to solve the mystery of the mummy - and the Doctor being the smartest and yet only there by chance. The small insights into the supporting characters through their interactions with the mummy, like the Captain who uses all reason but in his last moments tries to bargain in a fit of fear. So beautifully done.
Perkins was a great supporting character, his journey from awe to anger to distrust of the Doctor was interesting and just subtle enough to fit with an already packed episode. Gus was a great villain, a great little bit of voice acting from the legendary John Sessions. It’s an interesting conclusion that we don’t get some big reveal about who Gus is and I really like that. Also such a great way to explore the idea that the Doctor is heartless, what’s felt like an underlying theme of Capaldi’s Doctor ever since “Deep Breath”. Their conversation on the beach in which it’s left somewhat ambiguous is a lovely touch. Again, similar to the ambiguity of the Doctor pushing the Half-Face man in “Deep Breath”. Fabulous episode. Gorgeous costumes and production design, and continued fantastic performances. The best acted series so far.
EPISODE 9 - FLATLINE - 9/10
In a series in which I’ve noted the stories have used quite simple somewhat obvious ideas but executed them well, this episode used a whole new concept but executed it with just as much skill. The TARDIS is shrinking, with the Doctor stuck inside, leaving Clara to play Doctor whilst carrying around the small TARDIS in her handbag. It’s so silly but just works. It’s amazing that Coleman and Capaldi can have such great chemistry and banter without even being in the same room, sort of similar to Oswin and the Doctor in “Asylum of the Daleks”.
The story feels sort of like let’s do a better version of “Fear Her” with the idea of drawings whilst at the same time feeling completely separate. Clara recruiting Biggsy as her own companion was a really fun idea, and he’s a great companion. I like the moments of her dismissing him asking if she liked his graffiti being similar to the Doctor’s dismissal of people.
I wasn’t sure about the graffiti then coming to life out of the walls but then I did really like the effect of them being static-like instead of fully formed. The moment where the Doctor uses his hand to crawl along the train tracks was the silliest thing ever and I LOVED it! The Doctor spends the whole episode stuck inside the TARDIS instructing Clara and in a way is sort of a no-Doctor episode like “Love and Monsters” and “Blink” but with an already established character taking the lead. I like the idea that Clara is trying too hard to be like the Doctor. Missy crops up again, she’s been collecting all the dead people throughout the series and it’s definitely leading up to her being the villain in the finale which I’m excited about because I adore Michelle Gomez.
EPISODE 10 - IN THE FOREST OF THE NIGHT - 4/10
This episode brings back one of my least favourite Doctor Who tropes of annoying children played by bad child actors. It’s a sweet idea to make Maeve a primary character to the story but it doesn’t really work as she’s not very interesting or important to the story overall, a bit like the child Queen from “The Rings of Akhaten”. Again, it does the Clara being tied to Earth but, again, not by her family who she doesn’t seem to ever see.
It’s an interesting concept for an episode, and the comparison between the ice age just happening was interesting. The conclusion of Maeve’s sister hiding in a bush the whole time makes no sense and is one of the stupidest things the show has done. Another episode in a long line of great titles of not great episodes. The forest looked really great, all the green was really beautiful, and it was an interesting concept that I just don’t think explored the full potential of what the story could have been.
It’s another episode that is really exploring Clara’s dynamic with the Doctor and Danny but it doesn’t really add anything new to the dynamic as all it really does is re-iterate what previous episodes have stated as if we haven’t understood, the only thing it adds is Danny finding out Clara is still travelling with the Doctor. The Doctor and Clara have a similar, but less effective, argument as they did in “Kill the Moon” but here it just feels like a rehash.
EPISODE 11 - DARK WATER - 9/10
It’s the first two-parter of the series. I like the idea of a series of single adventures leading up to a bit two-part finale. The Cybermen are back and FINALLY a good villain again. The main premise of the episode is Danny dying a human death in a car accident, and Clara trying to use the Doctor to bring him back. It’s an interesting comment on Clara that her first thought is to threaten the Doctor beside a volcano instead of just simply asking him. Peter Capaldi does a fantastic job of conveying silent anger and his line about Clara betraying him not changing how he cares for her is fantastic. Actually the whole conversation between them in the TARDIS is beautifully written dialogue.
Danny has been sent to “heaven” but we soon learn it’s a ruse and the dead bodies are being turned into Cybermen by Missy. The moment it’s revealed to the audience through the doors closing is brilliantly done, and then the dark water thinning to reveal the skeletons as Cybermen is equally chilling. Clara, again, is playing Doctor and it’s interesting how her conversation with Danny the Cybermen says so much about how dangerous it is for her and those around her. THEN we get a second big reveal that puts the Cybermen to shame. Missy is really the Master. It’s a great reveal, in fact much better than both River Song and the Impossible Girl because it actually makes sense and is very satisfying. Michelle Gomez is deliciously camp and has hints of both Mary Poppins and the Joker but makes it work so seamlessly.
EPISODE 12 - DEATH IN HEAVEN - 9/10
The series finale (only 12 episodes, I don’t know if this was done on purpose because Peter Capaldi is the 12th Doctor but I like it as a theory). I love the reintroduction of Osgood and Kate, they were both fabulous in “The Day of the Doctor”. I liked the little bit with the Doctor and Kate asking about the payroll. The Doctor being the President of Earth is a little silly but I like how it ties into River name dropping it in a past episode (I don’t remember which).
Again, Clara is trying to be the Doctor and her conversation with the Cybermen Danny shows why that’s so bad and so dangerous for both her and everyone around her. The Doctor and Missy work brilliantly together, I loved the bit of the Doctor gloating over Missy how he’s got all the power she wanted. And the little moments with Osgood were very sad but so well done, Missy going from singing “Oh Missy” to shooting her then dancing around was fantastic and I can’t imagine anyone but Michelle Gomez doing it with such conviction. And then she reveals herself as the woman in the shop that brought the Doctor and Clara together in the first place was a great little tidbit.
I find graveyards incredibly creepy anyway, and they utilised the creepiness in this episode to the full. The comparison of the soldier storyline between the Doctor and Danny finally comes to a conclusion, and Danny’s point about the Doctor keeping his hands clean hit hard. Jenna Coleman broke my heart when she deactivated Danny then wouldn’t let him go, she did a fantastic job playing the human part next to Peter Capaldi and Michelle Gomez giving brilliantly big performances. Capaldi just fabulously delivers a cocktail of emotions with great conviction, and the moments of Mission: Impossible action scenes were cheesy but brilliant.
This has definitely been my favourite series of the show so far. Capaldi had been excellent, already my favourite Doctor. Jenna Coleman upped her game and Clara is fast becoming my favourite companion, maybe tying with Donna for that top spot at the moment. Michelle Gomez was also fabulously mad, and Samuel Anderson also gave a great nuanced but quiet performance as Danny. Steven Moffat really upped his game in writing, there were some incredible episodes this series. The only dud for me was “In the Forest of the Night”.
EDIT: Somehow managed to miss out my review for “In the Forest of the Night”. I like the idea someone said that I hated it so much I didn’t even review it!

Like the title suggest playing Arkham City in 2021 is like looking in an open world time capsule. The map is small, there is a minimum of twelve side quest, one real major collectible, and one short DLC story with no season pass. It’s pretty refreshing to play an open world game that isn’t trying to be “bigger and better” than the one that came out two months ago. What is “bigger and better” about Arkham City compared to its predecessor is the story. Instead of being isolated on a prison island you are now trapped in a walled off city filled with even more dangerous thugs and deranged criminals. To make matters worse Batman and along with several patients of Gothams hospitals have been infected with Jokers poisoned Titan blood and unless a cure is found within hours everyone infected will die. And just to add onto Bruce’s streak of shitty luck he must also uncover what this mysterious “Protocol 10” is that warden Hugo Strange is plan on initiating the very same night. I applaud the plot which embraces the comic book roots, if this wasn’t a game I could see this being a story line in the comics (probably from Scott Snyder or James Tynion IV).
As you traverse and explore Arkham City you get to see just how ugly it looks and I mean that in the best way. It looks broken down, the highways have been destroyed (if I remember correctly this section of Gotham was ravaged by an Earthquake), trash is everywhere, and some buildings have succumbed to the rising sea water. In fact you constantly hear about how much life sucks within the walls due to eavesdropping on their conversations and some of them are pretty amusing to listen to. The cast members for the new villains are excellent, Nolan North is unrecognizable as Penguin with his cockney (I believe it was a cockney accident). Troy Baker is exactly what I imagine Two-Face and Harvey to sound like, while he would not get more dialogue until Arkham Knight (conversation for another time), he was perfect with what little screen time he was given. And Kevin Conroy was absolutely chilling as Hush, it’s nice to see Kevin show his range as an actor and that he is just as good as playing the villain. Corey Burton is the definitive Hugo Strange (not that Strange gets to be in many games or shows) with his monotone and authoritative delivery. You always feel Strange is a step ahead of you and the more confident he gets the more satisfying it is when you finally punch him in the face. There was some casting I wasn’t 100% sold on. Tara Strong as Harley Quinn is so so. On paper this should have worked, hell I wanted it to work, but she is always using a high pitched voiced and it can get very irritating. Dee Bradly Baker portrays an intelligent and sophisticated Ra’s Al Ghul, but I always imagine Ra’s having a more deeper voice, but still Baker does a good job. And Troy pulls double duty by voicing Robin which is another odd choice. Maybe it’s because Tim is a teenager in the comics and in a lot of cartoons so seeing him as an adult is an interesting, but weird take.
The combat has, maybe improved is not the best word to use, but more like expanded, as the old saying goes “If it ain’t broke don’t fix it” and Rocksteady kept the combat mechanics unchanged and instead added more takedown variations and gadgets. What is improved on is the predator combat segments. In Arkham Asylum after a while those stealth missions didn’t have any variety, but in here you will face enemies that can spot you on the gargoyles with thermal goggles and some will have jammers that interfere with Detective Mode rendering it useless until you take out that particular thug. Boss battles have more variety to them now. You fight Ra’s on another worldly plane, you have to stand toe to toe with Solomon Grundy, you slash up Clayface with a sword, and when up against Mr. Freeze you have to think of new strategies on the fly. Once you finish up the story and side missions it is time to take on “Riddler’s Revenge” aka the combat and predator trials. If you’re to use to playing as Batman why not try out some new skins? My personal favorites were Dark Knight Returns, Batman Beyond, Batman Inc., and Sinestro Corp (disappointed we didn’t get Red Son). You can also switch skins in the campaign, but it’s really weird as you have to enter a cheat code on the main menu. Could there really not be a “select skin” choice in the options menu? If you are tired of playing as Batman then why not play as Catwoman, Robin or Nightwing each with their own play styles. Catwoman had her own story missions, but they were rather short. Which makes sense as her means of travel are complicated because you have to climb onto buildings. She feels much more suited for these combat trials. Robin is also fun to play as, but my personal favorite is Nightwing who plays like a dream. He wasn’t even in the story and doesn’t have any win quotes, but I am just happy he is here at all.
My one complaint I have are the Riddler trophies. What were once the fun collectibles have become more trouble then they are worth was you have to solve puzzles, the more you solve you will get the location of one of Riddler’s hostages. The trophies and riddles were fun in Asylum because 90% would lead you to a fun little easter egg. Some of them do that here as well, but there are a lot more and now they just feel like a chore instead of being fun, kind of big misfire when you are making a game isn’t it.
Is Arkham City better than Asylum? In my opinion yes and it is still my favorite of the Arkham franchise. The fact that it isn’t as overwhelming compared to todays open world games will make for a more welcoming experience.

UPDATED AFTER FINISHING SEASON 3 (see below)
So after years of being curious about the show, I finally dove in a couple weeks ago. At this posting, I'm just finishing season 2. It's been entertaining enough for me to keep watching, but it wants to be The West Wing, 24, Homeland and House of Cards at the same time, which is an impossible thing to attempt creatively. I'm enjoying it, but I needed to write down all the logic questions I've had as I notice the show's storytelling patterns. I'm sure you'll recognize some of these.
-How many insane national emergencies/major events can possibly occur in this short a period of time? Any one of these would likely be the only thing that happens during one presidency:
-Capitol is bombed, killing the entire government
-new Vice President, a traitor, all of 18 years old, is murdered by his wife, who kills herself
-former one-term president agrees to become Secretary of State
-new President is shot in an assassination attempt
-new government is elected at all once AND amidst an orchestrated biological attack
-show's first National Security Advisor turns out to be a mole for a domestic terrorism organization
-they pass a federal gun control bill (which may be the least realistic thing on this list)
-they stop a major virus outbreak
-a member of British Parliament is murdered on American soil
-murdered Parliament member is revealed to have been romantically involved with former US president
-First Lady is killed in a random car accident
-USA goes to war with a small Middle Eastern nation, and it doesn't last 18 years
-ambassador from small Middle Eastern nation is arrested for staging the events leading to the war so that he could become the new leader of his country
-Washington DC mayor is nominated for Vice President after doing an okay job handling one crisis in the city
-new President's therapist is hacked and his therapy notes released to the public
-new President's cabinet invokes the 25th amendment to try and remove him from office due to mental health issues, which would make the brand new Vice President the President (a VP who admitted in the previous episode she didn't want to be president)
-foreign diplomat is poisoned and collapses & dies at a White House event
-tech billionaire arrested for a wide range of conspiracies
-White House Chief of Staff is shot
-tsunami strikes small island nation where two main characters are negotiating with that nation's leader
And I'm sure I've left some out. Can we confirm season 4 wouldn't have had an alien invasion?
-Why is Chuck written as a one-man NSA? He singlehandedly does the work that 1,000 people would be doing in real life to unravel these mysteries. It's like the federal government has zero people other than him looking into any of this stuff.
-Why is Hannah Wells (the show's Jack Bauer) so annoying? And why is she the only field agent investigating every single major crime for the federal government? Other than "we need to give this actor something to do", it is absurd that she's the lead investigator on every single case. The US government has no other investigators, no other operatives. They really lost me on this one when she gets embedded with a SEAL team overseas. THEY DON'T NEED SKINNY JEANS' HELP! She is so clearly Jack Bauer it hurts. Doing whatever the hell she wants. Acting outside the law. Threatening to shoot every person she interrogates. Convincing people who know they should say no to her to continue investigating things that will get her into trouble. Hannah Wells might be even crazier than Bauer.
-What are the FBI, CIA and NSA doing while all of these cases are being solved by two people in a closet office in the basement of the White House?
-How many times does Kirkman need to be reassured he's doing a good job? Because after the 98th time, it became tiresome.
-Other than "we need to give this actor something to do", why is Aaron involved in political strategy as the National Security Advisor? The things he's doing for the White House literally don't change at all, even though in reality the National Security Advisor has nothing to do with half of this stuff. They're not negotiating federal budgets, they're not acting as diplomats, they're not consulting on staff hires. They probably don't work intimately with individual agents chasing down leads.
-I lost count, but how many times has Kirkman done a national address? This happens maybe a handful of times in a president's entire term, yet it seems like Kirkman has done it 15 times in 45 episodes thus far.
-How many "pesky journalists of the week" have there been? You know, the one who smells something fishy based on a few random pieces of information, pesters Seth during a briefing with questions that force him to slam his binder shut and run off the podium, and then bursts into his office 2 minutes later demanding answers or they're going with the story!
-Why doesn't Kirkman's BROTHER have Secret Service protection?
-Why do most episodes begin with everyone watching a TV news story that introduces the episode's main plot? This is really lazy writing.
-Why does Kirkman spend so much time in this secondary office? Is the Oval Office not comfortable enough? Was that Oval set frequently being used by another production?
-Why can't Kirkman decide whether or not he needs glasses? Seriously, you could do a David Caruso-like supercut of him putting on or removing his glasses.
-Does Wells have ANY other moves during questioning other than making a threatening statement then pretending to leave the room before her subject yells, "Wait!"
-Pretty sure it's not legal for Chuck to be using government surveillance resources to help Psycho Hannah's further investigations after she resigned from the FBI.
-We've got all these fake foreign countries, including stand-ins for North and South Korea, yet for some reason I don't think China has been mentioned even once. As usual in Hollywood, it's okay for Russia to be the bad guys, but to have all this stuff go down with zero involvement or mention of China is...strange.
Other than that, Designated Survivor makes complete sense and is entirely realistic.
SEASON 3 NOTES
So I finished the 10-episode Netflix finale of the show. Wow. To say it changed a bit is an understatement.
-Disappearing characters. Not that I missed Kirkman's son or the White House counsel (I can't even remember her name), but to make Lyor (maybe the most interesting character on the show) disappear was a damn shame. I'm curious to know why that happened. Also, even though he was an unrealistic Secret Service agent, I did miss Bald Mike and his random wisdom. I even missed Chuck a little bit. What a shame for these characters to get no resolution or even a mention in the final season.
-New characters I feel like I hated before they even showed up. Anthony Edwards' Chief of Staff Mars. Mars? He seemed like he was from Mars just being dropped into the show like this. And this Dontae kid. Cuz we just had to have somebody who was tech-savvy and super young. Nobody over the age of 30 could possibly understand how social media works.
-The frequent cursing was a bit jarring. It was just so different from the first two seasons that it felt out of place. Censorship is one of the worst things about network television, but to go from one extreme to the other was a lot to take in.
-Who dictated that the show had to become so woke all of a sudden? WE GET IT. I'm black, okay? Did I need to see a scene where a black man, Indian man and Latina sit around a table at a bar bemoaning how unfair the world is as minorities? No, the fuck I didn't. Maximum cringe. I don't care that there's a gay romance, but to have a romance between two previously non-existent characters be one of the major subplots? It felt completely unnecessary and tacked on for Twitter applause. And poor Aaron, whose entire character arc became about how well he was or wasn't embracing his heritage. And OF COURSE Kirkman's trans sister-in-law becomes a major plot point. And every white male, including Kirkman, winds up being a piece of shit at one point or another. Did we miss any checkmarks, guys? All of this stuff at once was so inyourface that it became distracting.
-Bye bye, Psycho Hannah Wells! Is it bad I felt absolutely nothing at her demise? Cuz I didn't. Somebody had to put that lunatic out of her misery. In the end, her illegal snooping is what did her in, and to quote Joaquin Phoenix in Joker: "You get what ya fuckin deserve!!!"
-I also got a good LOL when the ridiculous, Dr. Strangelove-sized "Command Ops" from the first two seasons became simply the regular old Situation Room in season 3.
Unfortunately, the show ended at a spot that clearly wasn't intended to be a series finale. I thought the final episode was actually pretty good. It is what it is. The show was a fun experiment. I don't regret the time investment.

Not content with making the Snyder Cut a reality, fans are now campaigning for the SnyderVerse to be completed by Zack Snyder, the original Justice League director. #RestoreTheSnyderVerse Trends As Fans Campaign For Zack Snyder To Finish His DCEU Plan. So, in this post, we will explore what is the Snyderverse, and what was the original plan for Zack Snyder’s DC Superhero Universe. Please be sure to check out this post till the end to find out the latest updates and our speculations for the Snyderverse!

Zack Snyder rebooted the DC superhero universe with 2013's Man of Steel starring Henry Cavill as Superman. He followed this up with Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice, introducing Ben Affleck's Batman and Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman. Both films suffered from mixed reviews, with many saying they were too dark, while others enjoyed the director's trademark take on the material.
Snyder was working on his third movie in the franchise, Justice League when he suffered a family tragedy and was forced to quit. As a result, that movie was completed by Joss Whedon and suffered from even worse reviews than the previous two efforts. That led to the Snyder Cut campaign, which bore fruit when Warner Bros announced in May that Snyder's cut of the movie would release on HBO Max in March 2021. Despite this, DC Films head Walter Hamada says the studio sees the Snyder Cut as a dead-end and won't be exploring the director's vision for the characters following its release.
In response, fans are taking to Twitter to once again campaign for Snyder. The hashtag #RestoreTheSnyderVerse began trending. The hashtag features fans imploring DC to let Snyder complete his vision for the so-called SnyderVerse, and make his films canon again. Others were tweeting about the characters they'd like to see more of in any future movies.
While fans are optimistic they'll be able to change the minds of DC and Warner Bros. with a new campaign, it's unlikely this one will be as successful as the original Snyder Cut campaign was. Studio executives saw the potential in releasing the Snyder Cut to promote their new streaming service, HBO Max. However, with a release plan, which includes introducing the DC Multiverse in The Flash, as well as The Batman and a new version of The Suicide Squad incoming in 2021 and 2022, it's clear DC has a plan in place for the DCEU.
And, sadly for fans, that’s a pretty clear sign DC has moved on from the so-called SnyderVerse. The director, too, seems to have accepted that the Snyder Cut will be his final film with DC for a while, as he's already moving ahead with several projects, including a host with streaming service Netflix. So, despite the popularity of the hashtag on social media, it's most likely that the Justice League director's cut will the last fans will see of the SnyderVerse.
As most would know at this point, Zack Snyder did not intend for his DC universe to compete with the MCU, but as 5 films with a beginning and end, that would take inspiration from various comic series to form his own Justice League storyline. Zack’s original idea was to have a 5-film, Elseworlds-style, Superman-driven, Justice League film series, and we know what four of these films would be. This is where we guess and offer our ideas on the potential storyline of DC’s former Snyderverse, as well as some ideas on what the fifth film would have been. Some of these ideas are official or confirmed by Zack Snyder himself, while others are pure guesses.

1. Man of Steel

The first installment in the Snyderverse is pretty much the same as the one released in 2013: a grounded take on Superman and his birth with small teases to the larger world Zack had in mind.

1. Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (Ultimate Edition)

It is inspired by The Dark Knight Returns and The Death of Superman comics. And the Ultimate Edition, a 3-hour epic that was never meant to give us classic takes on characters or follow a light tone as audiences expected. Just as it is now, the film teases the Justice League, the Knightmare world, time-traveling, Darkseid, and Steppenwolf. We are given a look at Batman’s past and the death of his sidekick, Robin, who Zack has confirmed was originally intended to be Dick Grayson. And towards the end, Superman dies, but his revival is hinted at.

1. Justice League Part 1

The plot would be similar to the film released in 2017, but with a few key differences. It would follow Batman and Wonder Woman recruiting Cyborg, Aquaman, and The Flash to defeat Steppenwolf and stop him from retrieving the three Mother Boxes on Earth. And Steppenwolf wants the mother boxes because his mother’s spirit is literally inside those boxes, it would’ve helped him to get even more powerful than Darkseid himself!
Superman would be resurrected with his infamous black suit, but it is unclear whether he is resurrected by the League, or by Steppenwolf himself as a supporter of Darkseid. There’s also a possibility that the Green Lantern Corps would appear in a small role, teasing them for Justice League Part 2.
Zack has also confirmed that when Lois is killed in the original Snyderverse, Superman becomes susceptible to the Anti-Life Equation and turns evil under Darkseid’s influence. I think that this would have played into this film, and it would end with Superman taking down the League.
And The final scene would be the storyboard revealed by Zack Snyder: we see Darkseid opening a Mother Box, an explosion takes place that encompasses the entire planet, and we soon find Earth reflecting the Knightmare sequence from Batman v Superman.

1. Justice League Part 2

This sequel would have been inspired by the Injustice comics, as confirmed by Zack. This film would basically be the entire Knightmare sequence in-depth: a Mad Max: Fury Road-styled event involving the League trying to break Superman away from Darkseid’s influence and defeat the ruler of Apokolips. And a Green Lantern, probably Hal Jordan, would be the 7th member of the League in this film.
It is possible that the death of Batman in that chamber seen in Batman v Superman would be a purposeful diversion to distract Superman, whose main goal would be to avenge Lois. This would buy enough time for the League to defeat Darkseid somehow. My guess is that this would be where The Flash goes back in time to warn Bruce, save Lois, and end Darkseid’s reign. This, of course, would have major repercussions.
In the end, all we see is that the Knightmare is over and The Flash has returned to the current timeline, and we are left unaware of the League’s status, or Darkseid’s whereabouts. Regardless, it would likely be made clear that something isn’t right, and a major issue remains. I’m not sure what this issue would be, unfortunately, but it is my belief that this would have to do with either the Flashpoint storyline.

1. ??? (Maybe Flashpoint or Justice League Part 3)

This project was one of the most mysterious aspects of the Snyderverse, we were continually told about the films from Man of Steel to Justice League Part 2, but we were never told what exactly the final film was called or was about, aside from it supposedly tying together the entire Snyderverse.
And our guess is that after The Flash went back in time, we would see a Flashpoint-like situation where everything has changed, such as Jeffery Dean Morgan being Batman, but it would not follow the comics. Instead, Zack would create an alternate universe with the New Gods as villains that some form of the League must defeat. The film would end with characters like Batman coming to terms with their career and the losses they have faced, and Superman becoming the hero we all know and love. It remains to be revealed what Zack’s plans were, and we can only hope that Zack does inform fans at some point.
In a recent conversation on the ComicBook Debate YouTube show, Zack Snyder talked about his future in the DCEU. In the midst of 'restore the Snyderverse' fans campaign, he was asked if he would do more projects ahead. He said that he never thought he would be finishing his version of Justice League. The filmmaker stated that he has no issues with his project being an old movie on which he is working for years. Snyder mentioned that the DC Universe has gone and branched off and done its own thing which is fine for him. As far as what he did and his vision for what he wanted to do with these characters and the journey he wanted them to go on.
Zack Snyder asserted that it is well known that he planned on more movies, around five films or something (including Justice League 2), but he is busy now and has a lot going on. He admitted that it is cool and amazing that the fans have so much faith in the trajectory. The filmmaker expressed that he could not be happier and is excited for the fans to see Justice League so they can "really drink the entire elixir" of JL. He stated that he has no plan to continue in the DCEU. But noted that, 'who knows'' if his cut can see the light of the day and more things could take place.
Zack Snyder originally had big plans in the DCEU. He would have reportedly done a Man of Steel 2 with Henry Cavill, followed by Justice League 2 and 3, with a few more projects. However, the failure of the theatrical version of JL and the creative conflict led to his departure from Warner Bros Studios for quite a long time. Now as Zack Snyder's Justice League will be arriving soon, fans are eagerly waiting for what it has to offer. The project will be a four-hour-long miniseries consisting of never seen before footage.
With the Snyder Cut of the Justice League movie coming to HBO Max, many fans and even Zack Snyder himself hoped for the "Snyder Verse" to continue on the streaming service. However, now that may not be happening.
Following the Snyder Cut getting announced, all kinds of rumors and speculation hit the net regarding a "Snyder Verse" getting created on HBO Max that would involve Zack Snyder creating additional Justice League movies, with projects involving Ben Affleck back as Batman, Joe Manganiello as Deathstroke, Jared Leto as Joker, Ray Fisher as Cyborg, and more potentially in the works.
ZACK EXCITED FOR JUSTICE LEAGUE SEQUELS
Zack has enthusiastically and excitably gone on record that he has ideas for a Justice League sequel involving Darkseid on Earth, and Zack even discussed how his Snyder Verse is part of the DC Multiverse, part of an Elseworld Multiverse.
The Hollywood trade sites even reported that if Zack Snyder's Justice League proves to be successful for HBO Max that it seems likely Zack Snyder would be able to two sequels to Justice League that would complete his five-film arc.
Ben Affleck is also being brought back as Batman for The Flash movie, which at first was thought to be building anticipation and hype for Affleck to do his own version of The Batman on HBO Max, but now it is being said the appearance is to just give the character a proper send-off. Two additional factors why the Snyder Verse might not be moving forward on HBO Max could be Wonder Woman 1984 and Ray fisher.
The Hollywood trades also reported that if Wonder Woman 1984 was a success on HBO Max it would help lead to other projects. Well, WW84 is downright awful and hasn't been received well by the critics and fans alike, and it doesn't seem as if the HBO Max release led to a heap of new subscribers (where's the big announcement from WB?), so WarnerMedia could be rethinking its strategy of what to release on HBO Max, which may include rethinking the release of its 17-movie slate in 2021 (producers, directors, actors are not happy at all).
Regarding Ray Fisher, Fisher recently blasted Walter Hamada following the NY Times interview and said he will never work on another film Hamada is involved with. Shortly after, WB extended Hamada's DC films deal, and now it's said Ray Fisher is not appearing in The Flash and that Cyborg has been completely written out of The Flash. Obviously, doing the math, WB went with Hamada over Fisher, which is a no brainer.
We can assume that if Zack Snyder was going to complete his two Justice League films for HBO Max that he would have wanted Fisher back as Cyborg - who Zack says is the heart of the Justice League - but it's likely WarnerMedia probably said Fisher can hit the high road, so as Zack wouldn't recast Cyborg, he is probably finally done with all the BS at WB and is done with DC.
Another issue could be Geoff Johns who has been said to have stabbed Snyder in the back and is responsible for Ben Affleck leaving the Batman role. Then again, if the Snyder Cut turns out to be a huge success in terms of new subscribers for HBO Max, anything could happen.
Please let me know your thoughts on these plot points and my speculation, if I missed anything, or if you have ideas you’d like to add (especially for the final movie).

Not content with making the Snyder Cut a reality, fans are now campaigning for the SnyderVerse to be completed by Zack Snyder, the original Justice League director. #RestoreTheSnyderVerse Trends As Fans Campaign For Zack Snyder To Finish His DCEU Plan. So, in this post, we will explore what is the Snyderverse, and what was the original plan for Zack Snyder’s DC Superhero Universe. Please be sure to check out this post till the end to find out the latest updates and our speculations for the Snyderverse!
I know this is a long post, and it took me a lot of time to write, so I hope you will show this some love. If you are not a fan of reading this much, you can watch it in video format on our YouTube channel: The link to the video is: https://youtu.be/7-oOcroRfEI If you decide to watch this, please do not forget to like the video and subscribe to our channel for more such content! We are looking for some love and support from fellow comics lovers to grow. Let's start!
Zack Snyder rebooted the DC superhero universe with 2013's Man of Steel starring Henry Cavill as Superman. He followed this up with Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice, introducing Ben Affleck's Batman and Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman. Both films suffered from mixed reviews, with many saying they were too dark, while others enjoyed the director's trademark take on the material.
Snyder was working on his third movie in the franchise, Justice League when he suffered a family tragedy and was forced to quit. As a result, that movie was completed by Joss Whedon and suffered from even worse reviews than the previous two efforts. That led to the Snyder Cut campaign, which bore fruit when Warner Bros announced in May that Snyder's cut of the movie would release on HBO Max in March 2021. Despite this, DC Films head Walter Hamada says the studio sees the Snyder Cut as a dead-end and won't be exploring the director's vision for the characters following its release.
In response, fans are taking to Twitter to once again campaign for Snyder. The hashtag #RestoreTheSnyderVerse began trending. The hashtag features fans imploring DC to let Snyder complete his vision for the so-called SnyderVerse, and make his films canon again. Others were tweeting about the characters they'd like to see more of in any future movies.
While fans are optimistic they'll be able to change the minds of DC and Warner Bros. with a new campaign, it's unlikely this one will be as successful as the original Snyder Cut campaign was. Studio executives saw the potential in releasing the Snyder Cut to promote their new streaming service, HBO Max. However, with a release plan, which includes introducing the DC Multiverse in The Flash, as well as The Batman and a new version of The Suicide Squad incoming in 2021 and 2022, it's clear DC has a plan in place for the DCEU.
And, sadly for fans, that’s a pretty clear sign DC has moved on from the so-called SnyderVerse. The director, too, seems to have accepted that the Snyder Cut will be his final film with DC for a while, as he's already moving ahead with several projects, including a host with streaming service Netflix. So, despite the popularity of the hashtag on social media, it's most likely that the Justice League director's cut will the last fans will see of the SnyderVerse.
As most would know at this point, Zack Snyder did not intend for his DC universe to compete with the MCU, but as 5 films with a beginning and end, that would take inspiration from various comic series to form his own Justice League storyline. Zack’s original idea was to have a 5-film, Elseworlds-style, Superman-driven, Justice League film series, and we know what four of these films would be. This is where we guess and offer our ideas on the potential storyline of DC’s former Snyderverse, as well as some ideas on what the fifth film would have been. Some of these ideas are official or confirmed by Zack Snyder himself, while others are pure guesses.

1. Man of Steel

The first installment in the Snyderverse is pretty much the same as the one released in 2013: a grounded take on Superman and his birth with small teases to the larger world Zack had in mind.

1. Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (Ultimate Edition)

It is inspired by The Dark Knight Returns and The Death of Superman comics. And the Ultimate Edition, a 3-hour epic that was never meant to give us classic takes on characters or follow a light tone as audiences expected. Just as it is now, the film teases the Justice League, the Knightmare world, time-traveling, Darkseid, and Steppenwolf. We are given a look at Batman’s past and the death of his sidekick, Robin, who Zack has confirmed was originally intended to be Dick Grayson. And towards the end, Superman dies, but his revival is hinted at.

1. Justice League Part 1

The plot would be similar to the film released in 2017, but with a few key differences. It would follow Batman and Wonder Woman recruiting Cyborg, Aquaman, and The Flash to defeat Steppenwolf and stop him from retrieving the three Mother Boxes on Earth. And Steppenwolf wants the mother boxes because his mother’s spirit is literally inside those boxes, it would’ve helped him to get even more powerful than Darkseid himself!
Superman would be resurrected with his infamous black suit, but it is unclear whether he is resurrected by the League, or by Steppenwolf himself as a supporter of Darkseid. There’s also a possibility that the Green Lantern Corps would appear in a small role, teasing them for Justice League Part 2.
Zack has also confirmed that when Lois is killed in the original Snyderverse, Superman becomes susceptible to the Anti-Life Equation and turns evil under Darkseid’s influence. I think that this would have played into this film, and it would end with Superman taking down the League.
And The final scene would be the storyboard revealed by Zack Snyder: we see Darkseid opening a Mother Box, an explosion takes place that encompasses the entire planet, and we soon find Earth reflecting the Knightmare sequence from Batman v Superman.

1. Justice League Part 2

This sequel would have been inspired by the Injustice comics, as confirmed by Zack. This film would basically be the entire Knightmare sequence in-depth: a Mad Max: Fury Road-styled event involving the League trying to break Superman away from Darkseid’s influence and defeat the ruler of Apokolips. And a Green Lantern, probably Hal Jordan, would be the 7th member of the League in this film.
It is possible that the death of Batman in that chamber seen in Batman v Superman would be a purposeful diversion to distract Superman, whose main goal would be to avenge Lois. This would buy enough time for the League to defeat Darkseid somehow. My guess is that this would be where The Flash goes back in time to warn Bruce, save Lois, and end Darkseid’s reign. This, of course, would have major repercussions.
In the end, all we see is that the Knightmare is over and The Flash has returned to the current timeline, and we are left unaware of the League’s status, or Darkseid’s whereabouts. Regardless, it would likely be made clear that something isn’t right, and a major issue remains. I’m not sure what this issue would be, unfortunately, but it is my belief that this would have to do with either the Flashpoint storyline.

1. ??? (Maybe Flashpoint or Justice League Part 3)

This project was one of the most mysterious aspects of the Snyderverse, we were continually told about the films from Man of Steel to Justice League Part 2, but we were never told what exactly the final film was called or was about, aside from it supposedly tying together the entire Snyderverse.
And our guess is that after The Flash went back in time, we would see a Flashpoint-like situation where everything has changed, such as Jeffery Dean Morgan being Batman, but it would not follow the comics. Instead, Zack would create an alternate universe with the New Gods as villains that some form of the League must defeat. The film would end with characters like Batman coming to terms with their career and the losses they have faced, and Superman becoming the hero we all know and love. It remains to be revealed what Zack’s plans were, and we can only hope that Zack does inform fans at some point.
In a recent conversation on the ComicBook Debate YouTube show, Zack Snyder talked about his future in the DCEU. In the midst of 'restore the Snyderverse' fans campaign, he was asked if he would do more projects ahead. He said that he never thought he would be finishing his version of Justice League. The filmmaker stated that he has no issues with his project being an old movie on which he is working for years. Snyder mentioned that the DC Universe has gone and branched off and done its own thing which is fine for him. As far as what he did and his vision for what he wanted to do with these characters and the journey he wanted them to go on.
Zack Snyder asserted that it is well known that he planned on more movies, around five films or something (including Justice League 2), but he is busy now and has a lot going on. He admitted that it is cool and amazing that the fans have so much faith in the trajectory. The filmmaker expressed that he could not be happier and is excited for the fans to see Justice League so they can "really drink the entire elixir" of JL. He stated that he has no plan to continue in the DCEU. But noted that, 'who knows'' if his cut can see the light of the day and more things could take place.
Zack Snyder originally had big plans in the DCEU. He would have reportedly done a Man of Steel 2 with Henry Cavill, followed by Justice League 2 and 3, with a few more projects. However, the failure of the theatrical version of JL and the creative conflict led to his departure from Warner Bros Studios for quite a long time. Now as Zack Snyder's Justice League will be arriving soon, fans are eagerly waiting for what it has to offer. The project will be a four-hour-long miniseries consisting of never seen before footage.
With the Snyder Cut of the Justice League movie coming to HBO Max, many fans and even Zack Snyder himself hoped for the "Snyder Verse" to continue on the streaming service. However, now that may not be happening.
Following the Snyder Cut getting announced, all kinds of rumors and speculation hit the net regarding a "Snyder Verse" getting created on HBO Max that would involve Zack Snyder creating additional Justice League movies, with projects involving Ben Affleck back as Batman, Joe Manganiello as Deathstroke, Jared Leto as Joker, Ray Fisher as Cyborg, and more potentially in the works.
ZACK EXCITED FOR JUSTICE LEAGUE SEQUELS
Zack has enthusiastically and excitably gone on record that he has ideas for a Justice League sequel involving Darkseid on Earth, and Zack even discussed how his Snyder Verse is part of the DC Multiverse, part of an Elseworld Multiverse.
The Hollywood trade sites even reported that if Zack Snyder's Justice League proves to be successful for HBO Max that it seems likely Zack Snyder would be able to two sequels to Justice League that would complete his five-film arc.
Ben Affleck is also being brought back as Batman for The Flash movie, which at first was thought to be building anticipation and hype for Affleck to do his own version of The Batman on HBO Max, but now it is being said the appearance is to just give the character a proper send-off. Two additional factors why the Snyder Verse might not be moving forward on HBO Max could be Wonder Woman 1984 and Ray fisher.
The Hollywood trades also reported that if Wonder Woman 1984 was a success on HBO Max it would help lead to other projects. Well, WW84 is downright awful and hasn't been received well by the critics and fans alike, and it doesn't seem as if the HBO Max release led to a heap of new subscribers (where's the big announcement from WB?), so WarnerMedia could be rethinking its strategy of what to release on HBO Max, which may include rethinking the release of its 17-movie slate in 2021 (producers, directors, actors are not happy at all).
Regarding Ray Fisher, Fisher recently blasted Walter Hamada following the NY Times interview and said he will never work on another film Hamada is involved with. Shortly after, WB extended Hamada's DC films deal, and now it's said Ray Fisher is not appearing in The Flash and that Cyborg has been completely written out of The Flash. Obviously, doing the math, WB went with Hamada over Fisher, which is a no brainer.
We can assume that if Zack Snyder was going to complete his two Justice League films for HBO Max that he would have wanted Fisher back as Cyborg - who Zack says is the heart of the Justice League - but it's likely WarnerMedia probably said Fisher can hit the high road, so as Zack wouldn't recast Cyborg, he is probably finally done with all the BS at WB and is done with DC.
Another issue could be Geoff Johns who has been said to have stabbed Snyder in the back and is responsible for Ben Affleck leaving the Batman role. Then again, if the Snyder Cut turns out to be a huge success in terms of new subscribers for HBO Max, anything could happen.

Zack Snyder rebooted the DC superhero universe with 2013's Man of Steel starring Henry Cavill as Superman. He followed this up with Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice, introducing Ben Affleck's Batman and Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman. Both films suffered from mixed reviews, with many saying they were too dark, while others enjoyed the director's trademark take on the material.
Snyder was working on his third movie in the franchise, Justice League when he suffered a family tragedy and was forced to quit. As a result, that movie was completed by Joss Whedon and suffered from even worse reviews than the previous two efforts. That led to the Snyder Cut campaign, which bore fruit when Warner Bros announced in May that Snyder's cut of the movie would release on HBO Max in March 2021. Despite this, DC Films head Walter Hamada says the studio sees the Snyder Cut as a dead-end and won't be exploring the director's vision for the characters following its release.
In response, fans are taking to Twitter to once again campaign for Snyder. The hashtag #RestoreTheSnyderVerse began trending. The hashtag features fans imploring DC to let Snyder complete his vision for the so-called SnyderVerse, and make his films canon again. Others were tweeting about the characters they'd like to see more of in any future movies.
While fans are optimistic they'll be able to change the minds of DC and Warner Bros. with a new campaign, it's unlikely this one will be as successful as the original Snyder Cut campaign was. Studio executives saw the potential in releasing the Snyder Cut to promote their new streaming service, HBO Max. However, with a release plan, which includes introducing the DC Multiverse in The Flash, as well as The Batman and a new version of The Suicide Squad incoming in 2021 and 2022, it's clear DC has a plan in place for the DCEU.
And, sadly for fans, that’s a pretty clear sign DC has moved on from the so-called SnyderVerse. The director, too, seems to have accepted that the Snyder Cut will be his final film with DC for a while, as he's already moving ahead with several projects, including a host with streaming service Netflix. So, despite the popularity of the hashtag on social media, it's most likely that the Justice League director's cut will the last fans will see of the SnyderVerse.
As most would know at this point, Zack Snyder did not intend for his DC universe to compete with the MCU, but as 5 films with a beginning and end, that would take inspiration from various comic series to form his own Justice League storyline. Zack’s original idea was to have a 5-film, Elseworlds-style, Superman-driven, Justice League film series, and we know what four of these films would be. This is where we guess and offer our ideas on the potential storyline of DC’s former Snyderverse, as well as some ideas on what the fifth film would have been. Some of these ideas are official or confirmed by Zack Snyder himself, while others are pure guesses.

1. Man of Steel

The first installment in the Snyderverse is pretty much the same as the one released in 2013: a grounded take on Superman and his birth with small teases to the larger world Zack had in mind.

1. Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (Ultimate Edition)

It is inspired by The Dark Knight Returns and The Death of Superman comics. And the Ultimate Edition, a 3-hour epic that was never meant to give us classic takes on characters or follow a light tone as audiences expected. Just as it is now, the film teases the Justice League, the Knightmare world, time-traveling, Darkseid, and Steppenwolf. We are given a look at Batman’s past and the death of his sidekick, Robin, who Zack has confirmed was originally intended to be Dick Grayson. And towards the end, Superman dies, but his revival is hinted at.

1. Justice League Part 1

The plot would be similar to the film released in 2017, but with a few key differences. It would follow Batman and Wonder Woman recruiting Cyborg, Aquaman, and The Flash to defeat Steppenwolf and stop him from retrieving the three Mother Boxes on Earth. And Steppenwolf wants the mother boxes because his mother’s spirit is literally inside those boxes, it would’ve helped him to get even more powerful than Darkseid himself!
Superman would be resurrected with his infamous black suit, but it is unclear whether he is resurrected by the League, or by Steppenwolf himself as a supporter of Darkseid. There’s also a possibility that the Green Lantern Corps would appear in a small role, teasing them for Justice League Part 2.
Zack has also confirmed that when Lois is killed in the original Snyderverse, Superman becomes susceptible to the Anti-Life Equation and turns evil under Darkseid’s influence. I think that this would have played into this film, and it would end with Superman taking down the League.
And The final scene would be the storyboard revealed by Zack Snyder: we see Darkseid opening a Mother Box, an explosion takes place that encompasses the entire planet, and we soon find Earth reflecting the Knightmare sequence from Batman v Superman.

1. Justice League Part 2

This sequel would have been inspired by the Injustice comics, as confirmed by Zack. This film would basically be the entire Knightmare sequence in-depth: a Mad Max: Fury Road-styled event involving the League trying to break Superman away from Darkseid’s influence and defeat the ruler of Apokolips. And a Green Lantern, probably Hal Jordan, would be the 7th member of the League in this film.
It is possible that the death of Batman in that chamber seen in Batman v Superman would be a purposeful diversion to distract Superman, whose main goal would be to avenge Lois. This would buy enough time for the League to defeat Darkseid somehow. My guess is that this would be where The Flash goes back in time to warn Bruce, save Lois, and end Darkseid’s reign. This, of course, would have major repercussions.
In the end, all we see is that the Knightmare is over and The Flash has returned to the current timeline, and we are left unaware of the League’s status, or Darkseid’s whereabouts. Regardless, it would likely be made clear that something isn’t right, and a major issue remains. I’m not sure what this issue would be, unfortunately, but it is my belief that this would have to do with either the Flashpoint storyline.

1. ??? (Maybe Flashpoint or Justice League Part 3)

This project was one of the most mysterious aspects of the Snyderverse, we were continually told about the films from Man of Steel to Justice League Part 2, but we were never told what exactly the final film was called or was about, aside from it supposedly tying together the entire Snyderverse.
And our guess is that after The Flash went back in time, we would see a Flashpoint-like situation where everything has changed, such as Jeffery Dean Morgan being Batman, but it would not follow the comics. Instead, Zack would create an alternate universe with the New Gods as villains that some form of the League must defeat. The film would end with characters like Batman coming to terms with their career and the losses they have faced, and Superman becoming the hero we all know and love. It remains to be revealed what Zack’s plans were, and we can only hope that Zack does inform fans at some point.
In a recent conversation on the ComicBook Debate YouTube show, Zack Snyder talked about his future in the DCEU. In the midst of 'restore the Snyderverse' fans campaign, he was asked if he would do more projects ahead. He said that he never thought he would be finishing his version of Justice League. The filmmaker stated that he has no issues with his project being an old movie on which he is working for years. Snyder mentioned that the DC Universe has gone and branched off and done its own thing which is fine for him. As far as what he did and his vision for what he wanted to do with these characters and the journey he wanted them to go on.
Zack Snyder asserted that it is well known that he planned on more movies, around five films or something (including Justice League 2), but he is busy now and has a lot going on. He admitted that it is cool and amazing that the fans have so much faith in the trajectory. The filmmaker expressed that he could not be happier and is excited for the fans to see Justice League so they can "really drink the entire elixir" of JL. He stated that he has no plan to continue in the DCEU. But noted that, 'who knows'' if his cut can see the light of the day and more things could take place.
Zack Snyder originally had big plans in the DCEU. He would have reportedly done a Man of Steel 2 with Henry Cavill, followed by Justice League 2 and 3, with a few more projects. However, the failure of the theatrical version of JL and the creative conflict led to his departure from Warner Bros Studios for quite a long time. Now as Zack Snyder's Justice League will be arriving soon, fans are eagerly waiting for what it has to offer. The project will be a four-hour-long miniseries consisting of never seen before footage.
With the Snyder Cut of the Justice League movie coming to HBO Max, many fans and even Zack Snyder himself hoped for the "Snyder Verse" to continue on the streaming service. However, now that may not be happening.
Following the Snyder Cut getting announced, all kinds of rumors and speculation hit the net regarding a "Snyder Verse" getting created on HBO Max that would involve Zack Snyder creating additional Justice League movies, with projects involving Ben Affleck back as Batman, Joe Manganiello as Deathstroke, Jared Leto as Joker, Ray Fisher as Cyborg, and more potentially in the works.
ZACK EXCITED FOR JUSTICE LEAGUE SEQUELS
Zack has enthusiastically and excitably gone on record that he has ideas for a Justice League sequel involving Darkseid on Earth, and Zack even discussed how his Snyder Verse is part of the DC Multiverse, part of an Elseworld Multiverse.
The Hollywood trade sites even reported that if Zack Snyder's Justice League proves to be successful for HBO Max that it seems likely Zack Snyder would be able to two sequels to Justice League that would complete his five-film arc.
Ben Affleck is also being brought back as Batman for The Flash movie, which at first was thought to be building anticipation and hype for Affleck to do his own version of The Batman on HBO Max, but now it is being said the appearance is to just give the character a proper send-off. Two additional factors why the Snyder Verse might not be moving forward on HBO Max could be Wonder Woman 1984 and Ray fisher.
The Hollywood trades also reported that if Wonder Woman 1984 was a success on HBO Max it would help lead to other projects. Well, WW84 is downright awful and hasn't been received well by the critics and fans alike, and it doesn't seem as if the HBO Max release led to a heap of new subscribers (where's the big announcement from WB?), so WarnerMedia could be rethinking its strategy of what to release on HBO Max, which may include rethinking the release of its 17-movie slate in 2021 (producers, directors, actors are not happy at all).
Regarding Ray Fisher, Fisher recently blasted Walter Hamada following the NY Times interview and said he will never work on another film Hamada is involved with. Shortly after, WB extended Hamada's DC films deal, and now it's said Ray Fisher is not appearing in The Flash and that Cyborg has been completely written out of The Flash. Obviously, doing the math, WB went with Hamada over Fisher, which is a no brainer.
We can assume that if Zack Snyder was going to complete his two Justice League films for HBO Max that he would have wanted Fisher back as Cyborg - who Zack says is the heart of the Justice League - but it's likely WarnerMedia probably said Fisher can hit the high road, so as Zack wouldn't recast Cyborg, he is probably finally done with all the BS at WB and is done with DC.
Another issue could be Geoff Johns who has been said to have stabbed Snyder in the back and is responsible for Ben Affleck leaving the Batman role. Then again, if the Snyder Cut turns out to be a huge success in terms of new subscribers for HBO Max, anything could happen.

· Capricorn Sun:- If Batman was real, there is a lot of speculation about his Zodiac Sun Sign. Many have made a technical guess on various information provided about his fictional birthday and even real events and have come to zodiac signs like Aquarius, Taurus, Scorpio, Gemini and in some cases Leo, among which former 3 are most popular with Taurus and Scorpio even making sense. But both fail to explain some key and opposite traits of batman. The only sign to be able to completely make justice to the character graph is of Capricorn and that too in its uniqueness of being born in late December. I mean let’s be honest the people who can change the world have ever only born in December (Jesus Christ himself).
Traits:- Workaholic, detached, lonely, introvert, sarcastic, ambitious and perseverance ,determination, will& Grit, strategist, intellectual.
· Capricorn Moon:-This is a rather popular opinion in contrast with that of this sun placement of batman. There are really only two that come close which are Scorpio moon and Capricorn moon. But there are enough reasons to choose a Capricorn Moon. While Scorpio moon does justify his detective skills, they could be attributed to other placements as well . Moon placements must justify the emotions of the subject. Bad past, Conflicted moral compass, Vengeance, insecure, untrusting , secretiveness, cunningness, kinkiness (Let’s admit it the bad boy is into BDSM),sadness ,loneliness and courage are some of the things that batman has and both signs may explain well, but Capricorn moon gives better reasons. Daddy-mommy issues of batman, his inability to express himself but most importantly his complicated no kill rule, I mean this is where the difference is right, it requires a Capricorn’s discipline to look into the abyss and not blink, to survive space war lords like darkseid, ruthless assassins like deathstroke and not get corrupted by the joker and that too without killing and only on the emotional support of his butler. I mean if batman were a scorpion moon, he would have killed. And then he is more into technical then magic. Scorpio moon may go better with Dr Doom.
· Scorpio Rising:- I think this is the only sign placement that is going to go unchallenged. Batman is Scorpio rising period. He is damn courageous and a risk taker and not afraid of odds, He owns darkness and stealth, he is motivated by vengeance , he is intimidating, magnetic and though I have not ever saw him having sex, I am sure Talia and selina will comply this guy is an animal in bed whenever and how rarely he has sex. He is detached, cruel but really he is mysterious, and damn intimidating, he radiates fear wherever he goes. He lives with powerful aliens, magical beings, gods and they all fear him and respect him. Scorpio rising is what differentiates a batman from a green arrow (a wannabe robin hood). In simple terms with all his insecurities and flaws he is perceived as invincible. Only an evolved Scorpio rising can manage to do that( This guy strong armed darkseid into a negotiation once). The only character who ever comes close is deathstroke, and he too maybe a Scorpio rising.
· MC Leo:- To understand this we need to understand his goals, what he wants to achieve, what he really wants is to put fear into the mind of criminals so that they never even attempt to commit a crime. This symbol of fear that he wants to become is in a very dark way he’s way of saying I want to get so famous in criminals that when they should always be scared of committing a crime because of my fear. Strategically speaking maybe that’s why he lets his victims live, to advertise his feats and promote his scary image to scare others. And he has definitely rose to that reputation rather quickly. Look at how amazingly and with ease he portrays the playboy persona of Bruce Wayne, telling us that he is a great actor who can manage to convey what he wants from audience. In simple terms you can love him or hate him but you cannot ignore him.
· **Saturn Aries:-**This could be conflicted for Capricorn, Aquarius and Libra but… even though he is not a people’s person he is a leader a influencer and an inspirer. Firstly he is the patriarch of Bat –family. To lead such talented individuals you need to have Saturn in Aries. He is also a founding member and one of the DC trinity. If justice league was an organization , he would not have been the chairman ,that is more of superman actually (Face of the league, embodies values, he is more people friendly simply better placed to do that with his god like powers) but Batman is definitely the CEO of the JL. He is the strategist ,he understands the members better and he is the only one who can keep this god like creatures in check. I think it is pretty natural for him because he is simply operating with more information than anybody else.
· Mercury Sagittarius:- Mercury in Sagittarius tells us about a guy being an adventurer in terms of his intellect. Basically a polymath. He is not the best scientist/inventor or best magician, best business man but he is second best or third best in most of the things and yes he is the best detective undisputedly . He may not know the magic to fight a guy with, but knows enough to make strategic decisions to send which magician in a particular situation would flair best. He has acquired skills in a range of areas form criminal psychology, detective skills and torture, fighting, mind and body training, stealth, magic, chemistry, alien biology, science and inventions , medicine , you name it. People with mercury in Sagittarius are often expected to study more than normal and for often longer periods and different subjects.
· Venus Aquarius:- Batman’s Love life is as complicated as the man himself. It is conflicted, but has its movements of highs and lows with extreme passions. From sacrificing themselves to kill him, his lovers have done everything for him. Venus in Aquarius also explains how he has so many love interests in spite of his workaholic and detached IDGAF attitude. And his lovers are extreme, the choices within themselves, I mean from Talia –the daughter of demon to Wonder woman the daughter of gods. He has a complicated relationship with all as he cannot settle down, he knows that but he still manages to fall for girls, coming close to marrying selina Kyle and Talia on different occasions. He even has children with many of them in many alternate universes but he does not want to settle. Variety is the first word that comes in mind when we talk about a Venus in Aquarius, and he has it. Also, nature of going against social traditions of conceiving children without marriage and be okay about it( he publicly accepted Damien Wayne as his biological son). He’s basic outlook of family is untraditional and is not conserved to blood relations. Why he accepts them (Bat woman, Damien Wayne), he has place for others who are not his relatives (Night wing, Alfred, Gordon, Barbara, Jason , luscious fox and all of them). He has had his fare shares of heartbreak only deepening his pain. Venus in Aquarius is not considered a good placement. It is said ,that only after a lot of sacrifice can a Venus in Aquarius have his soul mate. Sometimes the possibility of relationship with the person’s soul mate itself is the sacrifice. Batman has many lovers, but we all know that his soul mate is cat woman. He too knows it, and so does she, but they both know they cannot be together.
· **Mars Aquarius:-**Mars in Aquarius is a placement that keeps the person at extremes of both ends. On one hand he can go celibate for years ,almost asexual and in others he can be into Dark, kinky BDSM marathon sex satisfying the lover to a point that the partner will never find another person as satisfactory. They could be animals in bed ,enjoying the act like no other and still go celibate because they simply prioritize other things in life over sex. This can be frustrating to partners. This placement also tells us how unorthodox the person satisfies their own high sexual needs. Having sex, without marriage. Strictly speaking only a Venus in Scorpio and mars has the power to match the intensity of those sensual marathon runs on one day and then not have sex for weeks (they are open to other ways-alternate partners, porn etc).
· Pluto Sagittarius:- Pluto in Sagittarius explains the persons’ acceptance towards more darker and sensitive topics. Pluto in Sagittarius are astrologically best placements to accepting truths as they are in every situations. They have problems when they do discover their own limitations and insecurities and they will, and they will be hurt when they do but will survive with it, and in a way that it makes them more accepting of others as well. Batman has been more accepting and capable of absorbing pain more than anyone else. His complicated philosophy and conflicted ideas , in general he’s very complex. He is untrusting of people’s character but mostly accepting of them with their flaws in general. Maybe that’s the reason why he has not gone insane even after dealing with the idealists like superman and wonder woman and anarchist like joker. There could not have been any other guy having an equation with both without getting mad. It needs a Pluto in Sagittarius for this.
· Jupiter Aquarius:- Jupiter in Aquarius native can be best described with one word-unique. Batman was always going to have Aquarius influence in him. And Jupiter in Aquarius does the job. While it does support his mercury in Sagittarius in becoming a polymath and absorbing knowledge from everywhere, Jupiter at times allows him to accept ideas and solutions that other times may seem too big. He’s out of the box thinking is what has enabled him to come up with a plan to take down all of JL members if the need arose. While he is a perfect strategist, he is quick thinker who has many times displayed he can be spontaneous. Jupiter in Aquarius’s greatest contribution to his character is best seen in his decision to take path of vigilantism to fight crime and doing so with the no kill rule. Other decisions where it is visible is in him choosing children as his sidekicks, or his plans to take down JLA, and etc.
· **Uranus Aquarius:-**Another planet in Aquarius ,and we are wondering why this man is a genius or a rebel, I think we should have been more surprised if any native with that much of Aquarius is not either of the above. This placement majorly supports batman’s inclination towards technology and being more open about people. All in all since Uranus is in home sign it is being positive here
· Neptune Capricorn:- Neptune tells us about one’s desire and batman’s desire though seems to be vengeance (Neptune Scorpio, it is strictly speaking his motivation.) He goes every night out to extract his revenge ,he many times even encounters situations where he can , but he chooses not too. Because if he will, then he will lose the motivation to come back next night and his goals ,his true desire will not be accomplished. Capricorn is a sign which provides batman with the focus he needs to achieve his rather unrealistic goals. With whatever pain and abilities his fate due to other planet holds, it is Neptune in Capricorn that allows him to go out and work irrespective of the complications in hand.
· Lilith Libra:- Lilith deals with demons within oneself, one’s relationship with one self. Batman does not have a very healthy relationship with himself. In simpler terms we may like what he is, but he himself is disappointed in himself. Many will argue that this is not true, but it actually is. He has once said “Deep down inside Clark is a good person , and deep down inside I am not”. Batman does not consider himself a good person, worthy of his parents. He takes very little care of himself, is highly self-critical and angry with himself. Batman’s many issues are with his disappointment within himself. Maybe that’s why he has so hard time making relations, he simply does not feel he deserves a true love like cat woman or wonder woman. Lilith in Libra also indicate problems in relations and he does have them with all his lovers. Considering his self-criticizing nature ,problems in self-acceptance and dark love angles he seems perfect for Lilith in Libra. He is tested on ethics, personal relationships and Lilith in Libra also gives a hint of kinkiness.
· North Node Virgo:- north node in Virgo means south node in Pisces. This takes care of one more important shade of batman which has not been discussed above. His struggle to balance order and chaos. His ideological enemy joker is the agent of chaos, and he himself is the knight of order. Batman’s this war of order vs. chaos definitely explains his complicated relationship with the clown.

Batman other characters:- astrology

· Bane- sun in cancemoon in Taurus/ascendant in Aries:- Bane has influence of water sign along with his tough earth appearance, personally he is caring. He cared for his mother, he cared for his father so much that he was looking for him after he got out of jail. Bane personally is an anti-hero, and that is because he cares. He is capable of making friends, Sinister six storylines have covered this part about bane in detail. I even suspect his mars in cancer. Ascendant in Aries is undisputed, that body , baldness he is an Aries ascendant . What makes the character what he is will be his moon in Taurus. This man has jealeaousy issues and he is ambitious to the point of obsession with the batman . He does not want to rule Gotham, he wants to beat Batman. That is his greatest feat, breaking the bat. He is like “everything you can do batman, I can do better”. That is the only goal in his life. From the time he heard of batman in the prison in Pena Dura (Santa Prisca).
· Talia Al Ghul:- **Virgo Sun/Moon in Taurus/ascendant in Aries:-**Talia was tricky. I had to choose by elimination. She is not too much in justice so no Libra, not too caring so no cancer, not too strong minded to be Aries (she could be influenced), cap, Pisces, Gemini ,Leo ,Sagittarius are not even close. That leaves Scorpio,Taurus,virgo and Aquarius. She is not a Scorpio, because Scorpios are anything but confused. They are decisive and usually one’s to manipulate. Scorpio could be at other places, in fact it may be both her Venus and mars are in Scorpio. I mean ,this explains why she is sexually compatible with batman (her interests in kink).And as I realized this I knew she is not an Aquarius. Taurus and Virgo were tough. Taurus enjoys pleasure, but Virgo can become one’s pleasure. Talia never choose batman for the pleasure ,she choose him because he was the best. Her decision was analytical, practical and not motivated by pleasure. And this explains it. Also, it needs a Virgo influence for Talia to become batman ‘s sub(Capricorn) They are into BDSM, and she is his most obedient sub, (at least in the bed). Her moon is in taurus.I truly believe that Taurus is why While she never choose him for pleasure, after choosing it she has derived it from him, and many times. She is jealous of cat woman, and many other lovers of batman. She is ambitious (being leader of league of assassins is her destiny, but that leader being batman is her ambition.) And in doing so she go to such lengths that she had a baby with him. Taurus moon made her so ambitious and ruthless, that she kills, but also that she made her own 8 year old son into a killing machine. Ascendant in Aries, goes with her. She does have a perfectly sensual figure . But under her clothes on her bare skin she has her share of cuts and bullet marks , which is to extreme for a girl. She is confident in who she is, but delusional and of course confused. But Sensual, while on the surface, batman and she look compatible, even sexually, she simply lacks self control against lust and killing due to strong Scorpio in Venus and mars, which is the root cause of her problems with batman.
· Night wing - Pisces sun, Taurus moon, Gemini ascendant :- against batman,nightwing is rather a less complicated person. He is more friendly and sorted. He has retained a certain innocence and cool persona against batman’s. He is neither extreme nor obsessed with anything. He sees his life as an act of his contribution against the bad, unlike batman who feels he had too. Pisces sun and Gemini ascendant explain his much better social abilities. Taurus moon makes him ambitious, may be to simply be the next batman. But Pisces sun gives him the wisdom and humility to understand that he can’t. Taurus moon makes him lusty ,and fortunate to have two beautiful and sexy women in his life (Kori and Barbara)
·**Cat woman-Scorpio sun, Capricorn moon and Capricorn ascendant:-** Cat woman is a tough placement. You know there is a Scorpio there, but so is a cancer, Pisces and Capricorn. But then you feel why not a Leo ,Libra or a Gemini. But in the end I came to a conclusion and the repo she shares with batman. If he truly is a Capricorn, then only a Scorpio can do that. Scorpio sun goes with her. She is dark, mysterious and sensual. But unlike how a Libra would, she uses her sensuality as a weapon. She is deceiving, manipulative she is complex but calm as well. What makes her a Scorpio the most is her ability to absorb batman’s darkness completely. She is the only person in this world, who loves him for exactly what he is:-a broken child whose parents were killed in front of him, and since that day he has endured only pain and suffering. Talia loves batman for his strength, and for what he could be. Zattana feels she could repair this broken man, and then he will become the ultimate love. Ivy thinks of batman in a similar fashion as Talia, wonder woman is impressed by how this man beats the odds , his courage and thinks may be the world today needs a man like him. But only cat woman truly cares and understands the man he is within. Only she has ever told him like Alfred has, that in spite of his methods being wrong, whatever Bruce does, he has too. Otherwise he will die, in his own guilt. She is not critical of it, but rather understanding of it as is Alfred. Only a person equally complex can understand this, how batman’s existence is justified. And this gives her Capricorn moon. Scorpio moons are power hungry, she is not. Though she does cross the line and kills, it is not because of Capricorn moon’s inability to control her, it is rather a collective control of her Capricorn ascendant and Capricorn moon that she can kill and still stay sane. She unlike batman knows that some people have to die. She is decisive, and is not scared of this truth( like captain America). Her Venus is in Libra, making her beautiful and at the same time compatible with batman and mars in either Aquarius or Gemini to not giving sleeping with a lover that much of importance. I am betting on Gemini since she falls in love when she is being taught, After all She was in a relationship with wildcat who taught her how to fight.
