One of my all-time favourite films; I was lucky to attend a limited theatrical rerelease of it earlier this year.
I heartily recommend Satoshi Kon's other films ('Millennium Actress', 'Tokyo Godfathers', and 'Paprika'), which should all be readily available on Blu-Ray.

Growing up on rented VHS casettes for Transformers etc, I have some fond nostalgia for those little trailer reels.

Closest we got was the 'Gotham' TV series where Bullock was one of the main characters, and a few other GCPD detectives pop up while the show is mashing together various supervillain origins and 'Gotham Central'-like investigations in a pre-Batman world.
It was a *weird* show.

No, still no movie appearances for Bullock, Montoya, or the other GCPD detectives.
There was Detective Ramirez in 'The Dark Knight' who helped out Gordon and was very much a Montoya stand-in, except she turned out to be taking money from the mob.

One more spotlight for this artbook about the original 'wipEout' game, as well as a copy of the PS1 title itself.
It still bothers me that Studio Liverpool ended up being shut down by Sony; imagine how good a new 'wipEout' game would have been as a showcase for the PS5.

For reference, my only exposure to the Kamen Rider franchise is the anime series 'Fuuto PI', a sequel series to 'Kamen rider W', which I really enjoyed.

See, when you’ve grown up relying on LLMs to write your school papers and do your work, you don’t actually develop the skills to function as a working adult.
If you’re pushing AI in schools, you’re failing kids. Sorry. There’s not a lot of grey area here.

Oh yes, the second phase is ludicrous for all of Simon's additional attacks.
Best of luck!

Simon was an absolute pain as a secret boss.
I only managed it by rebuilding Maelle as a solo one-shot kill fighter (after taking a few tips from YouTube), before returning to confront and immediately defeat Simon. A bit anticlimactic, but I wasn't having much fun fighting him in the regular fight.

Nice. Looking forward to checking out the new content over Christmas.
(I already finished the game with the platinum trophy; just gotta retrieve my copy of the game from back home.)
