I like that the guy who said "trade wars are easy to win" has never won a trade war.

Traffic outside the zone being "not worse" is a cartoonish lie. It takes 30 min to go over the Triborough.

Let's even set aside the fact that these Snyder dudes have never read a comic and this Krypto is comic accurate, but why on Earth would Superman have a 'roided out Pitbull? Do they think Superman moonlights as an ICE agent?

I mean this exists with novels in spades. When my novel came out, I got solicited by so many paid review services and I'd check their reviews and nothing was below a 3/5. I always passed on them.

Danny DeVito in a full scale action role; but more like Die Hard where he just has a lot of guns and gets the shit kicked out of him, not like something where he needs to be athletic.
I also think there's a really good, super heinous villain role for Dan Levy out there somewhere.

Did they learn nothing from what happened with Ruth Bader Ginsburg? If you don't pass on the torch, you risk destroying everything you spent your life working for. The arrogance of "no one can do this job but me" when they're in their 80s is batshit.
