The disappointment with the third episode was that it came across as a puff piece for DC Comics and Warner Brothers.
DC patting itself in the back because they are giving minority groups a voice at long last. There is an emphasis on female superheroes, black superheroes. Gay writers get to have their voices heard. No mention that it was good business.
There is a synergy between DC Comics, Warner Brothers film and television division as well as console games. In 2005 Warner Brothers rebooted their Batman movies under Christopher Nolan.
Later on, responding to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Under director Zack Snyder there will be a shared superhero universe but it is not as successful at the box office or with the critics. Warner Brothers do not show faith in Snyder's Justice League movie and get another director to do a hack job.
On television there are shows such as The Green Arrow, The Flash, Supergirl on the CW Network. Other shows soon join the Arrowverse and they even create a Crisis on Infinite Earths crossover.
However the accountants have taken over Warner Brothers. Movies and television shows are canned. CW gets a derogatory name, something akin to Cheap Bankers.
DC Comics relocates its comic book headquarters to LA from New York. So it can be near to the movie capital. Only movies and television shows are not increasingly made in Atlanta in Georgia.
No one gave a proper explanation as to why comic book writers needed to be in LA.
I came away with the third episode as being too congratulatory, in light of some of the decisions made by its bean counters in 2023.
