Another Look at The Last of Us Season 2
The second season of The Last of Us is only one month away! April is gonna be a great month for television, between TLOU and Andor. I can’t wait! But I have to wait. And while waiting, I can watch this new trailer we got recently, and share it with all of you.
Looks good to me! I loved The Last of Us 2 the game, and I can’t wait for that drama to make its way into the show. I have full faith that the showrunners will do right by all that good character stuff, and we get hints of it in this trailer. So great trailer, I say!
The second season of The Last of Us comes to MAX on April 13.

6 Thoughts on The Penguin (Review)
Hoo boy! We have been feasting good on television this year! I had high hopes for The Penguin after we saw the first trailer, and even I couldn’t imagine this show being so purely awesome. This is a Best Show of the Year contender, to be sure!
TV Show Rating: 10/10 – Fantastic
I very much enjoyed The Batman when it came out in 2022 and very much looked forward to expanding that universe. We knew about the Penguin show even back then, but surely none of us could have predicted how great it would be. Now that it’s over, we can bask in just what a good job everyone is doing in this universe and with these Batman characters. This is likely a very different beast than the Batman we’re going to get in the DCU, and that’s fine by me. I can handle a world with multiple different Batman at once.
Join me after the jump for my thoughts and review of the first season of The Penguin. Expect FULL SPOILERS for the entire season. And feel free to share your own thoughts in the comments below.

New York City Comic-Con was this past week end and we sadly didn’t get many cool new trailers! We know that Daredevil: Born Again will come out in March, but they haven’t publicly released the trailer! Shame! One trailer we did get was a new look at the Creature Commandos cartoon from James Gunn and DC! So that’s exciting enough.
I think this show looks great. I love the work of James Gunn, loved his Suicide Squad, loved his Peacemaker, so I’m fully on board for this zany cartoon that will — possibly — bridge all these shows and movies? It’s definitely kicking off the new DCU, so there’s that. But until then, it’s just gonna be a zany cartoon, and I’m down for that as well!
Creature Commandos comes to MAX on Dec. 5.

The Velma Halloween Special is Real and It’s Here
As one of the only people on the internet who legitimately enjoys the TV show Velma, I was excited to find out that the Halloween special was real. This was a single rumor months ago and then I never heard anything else, to the point that I thought it wasn’t real and wouldn’t happen.
But then, surprise! They released a trailer at the start of the month to no fanfare, announcing the show would come out on Oct. 3! So I watched it this weekend and enjoyed it.
Oh also, this trailer has all sorts of spoilers for the ending of season 2.
I like Velma. It’s a fun show and a great Scooby Doo prequel story. It’s crass and funny and has good mysteries. Don’t listen to the haters and watch it for yourself. I never knew people were so sacred about Scooby Doo, which has had more alternate takes than the Ninja Turtles.
Anyway, the Halloween special is now on Max for everyone to watch! And let’s hope we get a season 3!

Here’s a New Look at that Penguin TV Show (No, the New One)
The Penguin is still coming to Max, now set for a September release. I’m excited. I very much enjoyed The Batman movie and I think it’s a great idea to actually see that spin off into a legitimate TV show. Plus, TV has been making successful and enjoyable crime shows for decades. Surely somebody can take that winning formula and apply it to Gotham City, right?!
I think it looks good. Colin Farrell is obviously going to great lengths to bring this character to life, and he was very entertaining in The Batman. So just apply that to a hopefully gripping, dangerous and exciting crime show and we could have magic happen! And then, hopefully, somebody will just turn Gotham Central into a TV show as well, in the same universe.
And hopefully they won’t be afraid to use Batman, at least a little.
The Penguin comes to Max in September.
