@ChrisBalga

*So @TheDCUniverse did a tournament to crown the best supervillain. The Reverse-Flash came out on top (52% of the vote against Brainiac). Do you guys agree and if not who do you consider the top villain? Who is on your Legion of Doom team (choose 5 villains)?

Turns out not putting Harley FIRST might be problematic when it comes to the box office. At least Warner Bros. thinks so. Birds of Prey flopped (or at least significantly under-performed), and WB has now renamed the film to be all SEO-optimized! We mostly talk about that and the other factors that possibly lead the film into bad financial waters in its first weekend. But we also talk about several other topics:
