DMZ – HBO MAX released more information and images for their 4 part adaptation of DC Comics DMZ. The series will be set in NYC, and feature the 2nd US Civil War between the United States of America and the Free States of America. The rule of law is being dictated by “the most powerful person at any point in time”. The series will star Rosario Dawson as Alma, Benjamin Bratt as Parco Delgado and Hoon Lee as Wilson.

Batwoman – Batwoman season 3 trailer was released. It has a very retro feel to it. In season 3 Batwoman’s Ryan wildergets to “team up with “sometimes” psycho villain Alice. while the retro look of the trailer was cool, this series has never had the ratings to continue on the CW. PS the trailer is getting savaged on Youtube in the comments.
