I also say having some less known/lower tier villians from other heroes; is a good way to later work in those heroes.

Volcana has also been a recurring guest on the new season of Harley Quinn so maybe that has something to do with it?
This show has been on my radar for a while now, but it's not really a priority, you know?
*watches short on youtube*
... SUPERMAN IS BOIMLER!?!?!
God damnit, now I need to watch this.

Yeah! She totally was! On Poison Ivy's boardroom or so, in the second or third episode. She burned the table, I think.
Edit - second ep of season 4.
Edit again - I watched up to ep6 and whoa, Volcana has been de aged!

Alright, so two episodes in so far.
And... frankly, while I don't regret sleeping on this: there's nothing here I don't enjoy. The early 90's anime style is a nice touch to make it stand out, the writing is natural, snappy and fun, the new-ish backstory is a welcome change from the normal. The characterization is just... *chefs kiss* and the voice work is passionate and driven. Hell, badgy alone is a ncie touch in his role, and the fact that they used the classic amanda waller body type is a welcome sight. I'm looking forward to the reveal of lois's dad to superman... and his relationship to superman to lois. That's... going to be a whole thing... that should be fun to watch.
About the only thing I do not like is the whole conspiracy theorist jimmy, but it's actually good characterization for him as a photo journalist so I'm perfectly willing to tolerate it. And the foreshadowing in just the first two episodes. They are packing a LOT of little things in for later pay off, and I just hope this series gets the duration it deserves.

Next week is the season finale,
Also, anyone else reminded of Arkham Riddle with Ivo and how he gets more insane thinking his hero is only winning by cheating?
and its title is Hearts of the Fathers; so I expect that will get info dump on The general and Jor-El.

Saw the ninth ep.
I was kinda disappointed on the location of the base.
Uh, the shell just stayed there?
Jimmy would tell.

Yeah, that's actually a arc in the comics, too. Matt Fraction's Jimmy Olsen comic had Jimmy's family be one of the founders of Metropolis, instead of selling a social media account, though. So his family is just rich...whenever they talk about Jimmy's family in the comics, which isn't often.
What I want to know is...how does the Daily Planet even HAVE 5 million dollars to give to Jimmy? I guess the paper's doing better than I thought.
I'm not sure how I feel about the new Zod. The mech suits are a little much. Not sure if this is all supposed to be the Phantom Zone or not, though.
I actually kind of feel bad for Sam. He WAS trying to make the dinner work...in his own way. He was just kind of nervous. You could tell he wanted to fidget in that chair. He is NOT used to going over to someone else's house for dinner.
I was definitely wrong about the Kryptonite. I'll admit that. We didn't REALLY get a chance to see Clark's reaction to that, though, with everything else going on.
I'm definitely looking forward to the next season. Whenever it comes out.

I'd need to listen to it a few more times, but I think that when Clark dashes off while Jor-El is still talking in Esperanto Kryptonese to him, Jor-El says something along the lines of "Children are such a pain." I definitely caught pain as the last word.

Going to need some rather large Diamonds for that…..
Well dinner played out as well as expected.

Sam actually stood down at the end much easier than I expected though.Judging by how things went down over the season there will be a lot more backstabbing by Waller.
And Brainiac and most likely Zod. But where exactly are they. Has Krypton been in a constant state of war with these two, are they conquering other worlds, or is this the Phantom Zone?
And Jimmy suddenly gets a mass of cash for Flamebird!?! I know Perry pulled him aside but unless they actually said the Planet bought it I’m thinking we might have a possibility of another party involved.

Fiiiinally saw the finale.
Loved pa Kent pulling Jimmy for a quick turkey sit-down. Also the revelation. It was in the comics? Cool.
Called the general thing, hehe
Subtitles give away the kryptonese. Is that normal?

Wait, the Kryptonian language is actually decipherable? Like, they have a set language for it and you can understand parts of it? Since when was that a thing?
It's a thing in this series, because they apparently used esperanto for kryptonian.
This is the second time a DC animation project has used Esperanto for Kryptonian (a Supergirl direct to disc movie was the first). I studied Esperanto by mail in high school in the late 1980s, I never learned enough to be fluent but I do remember enough to catch when it's being spoken.
