As of this date (10/16/19), there is a new book for readers of all ages which is based on an old radio drama: Superman fighting the Klan!

I've read one review, but I would like to see what others think about it and more importantly, where to get it.

It's great! It's aimed at slightly younger readers, so keep that in mind. (It was originally scheduled for DC's Zoom imprint, which is ages 8-12.) Gene Yang's a fantastic writer, having done some great stories about being Asian-American (American Born Chinese, which won a billion awards) as well as some mainline DC superhero stuff like The Terrifics and New Super-Man. He's also done 15 or 16 Avatar graphic novels with Gurihiru, who do the art on Superman Smashes The Klan.

I love Gurihiru's art. They're a two-woman art team that've worked on the aforementioned Avatar graphic novels, as well as Power Pack and Gwenpool for Marvel. It's a manga-ish style, but they fold in a lot of American-style paneling and layouts. It's always very fresh, very fun.

The first issue of Superman Smashes The Klan should be available in comics shops nationwide. You can hit up the Comic Shop Locator to find a shop near you. If there isn't one nearby, it should be available digitally on Comixology's site.

Hope that helps!

On last week's Supergirl , "Back From The Future, Part 1", there was some robot tigers!

Yes, "robot tigers"!

I'm not as familiar with the Arrowverse as so many others are, so I don't know if this happened before or not.

That said, the Tiger-Bots were both fun and strangely familiar to me.

They looked like the Wild Force White Tigerzord (GaoTiger), though it was at the most basic level and more in terms of design and function!

I have some included screencaps and even a personal photo of my own Wild Force White Tiger.

Do you think they look similar?

Not similar but I would believe it if someone told me they used it as reference.

I still hope JJ Abrams does not direct or write the next Superman or Green Lantern movie. He wrote the script for Superman: Flyby and it was one of the worst scripts that I've ever read. That movie would have make Superman 4 look like The Godfather.

Birds of Prey is out, I'll probably see it tomorrow and I've got the idea of John Mulaney as Plastic Man stuck in my head

I did see Birds of Prey last night and I really enjoy it. I thought the movie would suck, but the movie end up being a lot of fun. I like the characters, humor, and action. I hope we get a sequel.

Seems like this is the consensus so far. Good to hear DC movies are getting better.

I went in thinking Birds of Prey was gonna be cringe cos of the marketing. I left thinking it was just plain and average.

First off: this is not a Birds of Prey film. It's obviously a Harley Quinn film (I mean, DC next week is releasing a comic made because of the film called Harley Quinn and the Birds of Prey. At least they got it right in terms of what it is).

Characters were alright I guess. I somewhat like Harley much better in this than in Suicide Squad. I didnt particularly like Cassandra Cain. 1. nothing like her comic counterpart. 2. the actress wasn't particularly good so her dialogue came off stale Huntress didn't need to be in the film. She's only here cos "she was a founding member in the comics". Her story just coincidentally interacts with the others and they have to come up with a last minute reason for her to join the team near the end of the film to fight Black Mask. Black Mask was alright. I kind of liked the eccentric take. Zsasz was fine too. If you're not a comic fan or know the character, they, at the last minute, explain the whole deal with his scars. It's not brought up until near the end of the film.

There was one notable scene that they could've cut cos it made no real sense to be there and it was Harley imagining a musical scene while she's being beaten by Black Mask. She sings "Diamons are a girls best friend" which is a reference to the diamond Black Mask wants but the scene itself is just random. Is it to show that Harley is crazy? We already know she is

Action wasn't bad. The scene of Harley's attack on the police station is probably my favourite scene and has the best action of the film. Although there were some scenes where the action was stale. The last one in the amusement park had some notable flaws for example: Black Canary fighting thugs on some see-saws and shes holding a bat but decides to kick or punch the thugs instead and only uses the bat when the film pans back to her fights. Oh and Black Canary only using her powers once. Like there's the hint at the bar then she only uses it once at the end of the film.

Music-wise, I feel like it suffers the same flaw with ever film trying to use popular songs or covers/remixs of older songs: trying to copy what Guardians of the Galaxy popularised but failing to understand there's a either a obvious reason to why those songs play in certain moments/scenes in GOTG and not just because, WE NEED COOL SONG DURING COOL SCENE. Most notable was the scene showing Cassandra pickpocketing from Zsasz. I think the song was a cover of some Michael Buble song so not only was the cover choice odd but the decision to use that song cover in that scene was odd.

Overall, average and plain film. C to C+. Some good scenes. It's not the worst DC film or just film in existence like some people are claiming it is (I saw someone say it was worse than 2019's Cats and Ghostbuster 2016. Those are terrible films. BOP is nowhere close to them in terms of terrible). Would I recommend it? Probably not.

I guess Suicide Squad left a bad taste in people's mouth or they did a bad job on marketing the movie.
