Ah, the VR episode; as much as I love the Riddler as a villain, this one was just goofy.

I know it's a kid's show and all, and it might have given the plot away too soon, but they were cowards to not give Francine Langstrom bat-boobs.

Supergirl bombed. Again. Not a creative failure — a structural one.

DC’s Gods Don’t Belong on Live Action Screens. They Never Did.
Supergirl's box office collapse isn't a creative failure. It is the latest evidence of the DC gods live action animation problem — a structural issue that animation solved thirty years ago. Supergirl closed its theatrical run at $125.8 million worldwide against a $290 million combined production and marketing spend. Lower than Morbius. Lower than Joker 2. The worst DC theatrical result in decades.
