It's amazing to see WB trash projects left & right, give Ray Fisher the boot for calling out their terrible working conditions, yet fall over themselves time and time again trying to do damage control for Miller and sort out his crap without shelving The Flash.
Ughhh....I hate to actually defend this wack job, but where does it say anything about "near unconsciousness". There's a full retelling of the incident and an actual video.

The woman confronts Miller asking Miller if they want to fight and gets right in Miller's face. Miller grabs the woman by the neck and lays her onto the ground. Then it's broken up. No on was actually hurt and no charges were laid.



The woman is also smiling through incident. It looks like a fan jokingly confronting someone who is unstable.

Miller definitely needs help.

Funny how quick the internet can twist stories, even a title, that someone reads then passes along without any context or proof, and we all just accept it.

I am not calling anyone out here, I am guilty of this as well. I've been trying to make a conscious effort to slow down when I see or hear something 'exciting' and think of the context it is being delivered in, where the proof comes from, etc..

I am not saying that Miller is a normal dude and the media has it 100% wrong, but in my experience there is usually your side, my side and somewhere in the middle, the truth...

In my experience, that’s not the case and the truth has nothing to do with sides. Sometimes one side is the truth and the other side only has a lying PR team.

There's a full re-telling in that article definitely sounds pretty extreme and wasn't the first time he was kicked out for assaulting people there. The video doesn't show what happened after Miller took her down, the story says he continued to choke her and scream in her face while spitting in the face of people trying to pull him off. I'm thinking the only reason charges weren't pressed because A)The woman was joking around about fighting him and B)It's Iceland, where people don't sue everyone.

Whatever Miller is or needs, they're an a-hole by all accounts.

So She Hulk was good. I thought anyway. Pretty entertaining first episode. It feels a lot different from the other shows but at the same time familiar to the genre.

The Ruffalo cameo is great, lots of good stuff there. Also nice to see a local actress doing so well.

The CGI doesn't feel as bad as it did in the trailer.. but maybe I am just used to it already.

I gotta say...I really enjoyed Episode 1. I thought it was pretty good, and I like the main character.

We'll have to see if she can stand on her own without Ruffalo, but I think she's got the chops.

But its got a 5.8 on IMDB? Are these people high? That was a fun half-hour of TV!

Talking about what it's like being a woman brings out the downvoters I guess.

Was lots of fun, turns out the uncanny valley is a great place to visit.

Honestly, more shows could benefit from breaking out filler stories into "bonus" content rather than interrupting the flow of the primary plotlines.

Graphic novel/comic adaptations especially, since authors like Gaiman love to shoehorn a cool idea they had into a random issue here and there that would otherwise feel out of place in a continuous series.

A fun little bonus on She Hulk: After she walks into the bar, there's a poster on the wall with a QR code on it. If you pause it and scan the QR code, it takes you to a page where you can read the first issue of The Savage She-Hulk from 1980.

The rumour is WB doesn't have (or doesn't want to spend) the money to release more than 3 films for the rest of the year. They've lost 50% of the value of their shares since the beginning of the year and lost $3.4 billion in Q2.

This is what happens when a TV guy who only produces ####ty reality television takes over a movie studio. How do they not have any money when The Batman just cleared $750 mill WW.

I also heard WB is having funeral showings of Batgirl on the lot this week before putting the film in a vault forever. Because they wrote it off, they are not allowed to make any money on it ever. Just a total #### show, DC fans deserve better.

I was wondering how they would deal with the cat episode. This is awesome!

I have never heard of this happening before so I think this is hilarious.

I hope we get an "accidental" leak to torrent sites before it's gone forever.

I heard that if they actually destroy the footage, and can PROVE that they did, they get an even bigger writeoff, so that option is on the table, too.
