Re: Playing with a kindly AI
There's a rumour around that the latest version of one of the main art AIs, I think it's Stable Diffusion, can do hands and fingers. It took a while. It's interesting to me how this was a blindspot, and it comes down to how they draw. They're not drawing, basically the AI doesn't know how many finge...

Had to be Zaslav. The guy has shit for brains. Anybody with any sense would know that even a mediocre, or straight up bad, Bat Girl movie is going to be a draw because of Keaton as Batman.

Re: Shazam! Fury of the Gods
Has had a worse opening weekend than Morbius.
It speaks to the stupidity of DC that they seriously thought this movie was a better bet than Batgirl when they decided which one to bin.

It is so very typical of the DCEU that even when they make a movie that's not completely terrible they still manage to step on their own dicks and catch fire afterwards.
