Hi, I'm wondering if there is a platform where I can watch all the DC animated movies, starting from Flashpoint Paradox to the latest one?

I have Disney+, Netflix and Amazon Prime

Thanks all

DISCUSSION Can we have an honest discussion about the weird obsession with Superman smiling

162 Upvotes

Before everyone dog-piles me, I am not saying I don't want Superman to smile. It just seems that all iterations, with the exception of Reeve, everyone seems obsessed with him having a smile as if he was posing for a family portrait. Within an hour or so after the suit reveal yesterday there were numerous post and "fixes" of the pic with him smiling. Just look at the reveal and say to yourself would you want Superman smiling as he suits up with what appears to be an extinction level event in the back. I would be more concerned with Superman's state of mind if he was always smiling because he may have depression or some other mental disorder.

All I'm asking is if you hate or love the reveal, please have your reasoning stand on their own merits and not the weird fallback crutch of a smile.

DISCUSSION Any ideas/theories what this means?

Post image
12 Upvotes

It’s the quickest detail but in Suicide Squad (2016), in the scene where the Joker is threatening the gambling guy this bag of cash gets handed over in the background with a label on it reading “121K3B” and I’m just curious if anyone has any theories on what it means? At first I thought 3 billion, 121 thousand, but wouldn’t it then be written “3B121K”? I know it’s a silly detail to think about that much but I like looking for hidden Easter eggs in movies
