Having a prophet doesn't make me want to watch this show.

I watched:


Batman: Bad Blood (blu-ray) 2016 DC animated movie set in the DCAMU. 
Yet another Batman movie with the annoying Bat Brat Damian?  Well, let's 
dive in.  The movie opens with a new character, Batwoman (Yvonne 
Strahovski) heading out on patrol.  She has ripped off Batman's style 
but unlike him she uses guns.  Batwoman runs into Batman as the two are 
after the same thugs.  Batman doesn't like she's copying him, but 
quickly lets it slide because they have bigger fish to fry.  But the 
thugs get the drop on then and Batwoman just barely escapes as the 
building structure they are on blows up.  With Batman presumed dead 
Nightwing returns to Gotham and pretends to be Batman to keep the 
criminals from learning Batman is missing.  Of course Batman's annoying 
brat Robin is still around and a new character Luke Fox is introduced 
and goes on to become Batwing.  With the Bat family (minus Batgirl) in 
place it's' up to them to track down Bruce and save the city.  Overall 
it was pretty good.


The Boys (Amazon streaming) - "Department of Dirty Tricks," "Life Among 
the Septics," and "We'll Keep the Red Flag Flying Here." First three 
episodes of season 4.  They all blured together.  But basically 
Homelander brings in the smarter person on Earth to help him set himself 
up as some sort of dictator.  The super smart supe is implementing a 
plan, but Homelander being Homelander can't always stick to the plan. 
Overall, the first three episodes were just OK.
