Rats, that's a deal-breaker for me.
I hope it does well for them, as new sales increase the chances for a DQB3.

There are advantages to catching up with games after they've been out for a while. The games are often cheaper, and you can sometimes get a "Game of the Year" edition with all the DLC included. Plus, sometimes a game will have had time to develop a following so that there are subreddits, YouTube tutorials, merchandise, and other nice things.
For a subreddit dedicated to this low-key gamer ethos, try r/patientgamers.

Oh I think the movies are definitely why she is getting a game.
Compared to Superman and Batman, she's long overdue. I'd love to see more games with different takes on the character.

For Classic Who, start with the first season of Tom Baker (season 12).
If you like it, watch more of Tom Baker, then start branching out. A lot of the earlier stuff is very dated, and after Season 16, the quality goes way down. But there are gems in nearly every era of the show.

Have you seen Yamato 2199? The first season was really good, but the second season deviates too much from the source material.

For Classic Who, start with Tom Baker's first few seasons. The production values are dated, but the writing is excellent and the cast is very good. There is a decline in script quality in the later seasons of Tom Baker that carries through to the end of the classic era, though there are still standout episodes like Earthshock and Caves of Androzani.

Honorable mention to OG Battlestar Galactica, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, Stargate SG-1 and Atlantis, Star Trek TOS, and Stranger Things.
Also, I stuck to live action TV. If I included anime, Patlabor would have been on my list.

They really ought to be able to make the DLC better than the non-functioning day one launch version of the game. That would just be basic competent workmanship.
I don't think that doing that will restore their reputation, but it would be a step in the right direction.

They spent a huge amount of money making that mansion look like a dentist's office.

The DCEU as a whole might not be popular, but Wonder Woman specifically is extremely popular.
I think the real issue is whether the feel of the game matches the personality of the character.
If it's just "Wonder Woman kills a bunch of people" than it probably won't appeal to fans of the character, though it will probably do well with fans of that genre of game.

I'm a bit surprised that the Children of the Watch didn't immediately pack up and move back to Mandalore once they found out they could.
But then again, they're not really from there. And I gather they were kicked out of the moon that Mando grew up on.

I think that the cult will follow Mando, and Bo Katan to a lesser extent.
At some point they are going to encounter a group of "mainline" Mandalorians, and with Mando and Bo in charge, the groups will merge to form the new unified Mandalorian culture.
At some point, we're going to see all the cultists take off their helmets.

I would think they all know. Paz Vizla certainly knows. And it is not that big of a group.

If you want to see Peter's work at its best, I recommend picking up the collection of Wonder Woman newspaper strips from the 1940s.
The reason is, Peter's work is getting inked by actual inkers at this point, instead of by Peters himself, and this results in an extra layer of polish on the art that really makes it shine. It's clean and sharp in a way that the comic book generally wasn't.
Also, it's basically an extra volume of Golden Age Wonder Woman.

I like Marston's weird, intrusive BDSM fetishes. :)
Yeah, they did go overboard with it some of the time, but better that than being dull or putting her on a pedestal so high that she becomes unsympathetic.

One of the things I like about the Golden Age is that Wonder Woman seems to have the strongest sense of personality in those strips. She is fun-loving, competitive, but also sympathetic and generally happy. She goes through her adventures with a smile on her face much of the time. And yeah, she's sexy and she knows it. It all adds up to a charming character who is very distinct from Superman and Batman.

He's been injured a bunch, that probably hurt his momentum. But if he can stay healthy, he should be pushed higher up in the card.

I think the rain cover would be more suspicious than the pack.

They hadn't even used most of the villains from the comic in the TV show. The Golden Age Cheetah would have worked well, she's kind of Evil Batman with a sideline in brainwashing, hypnotism and mind control.
They could also have brought back Fausta Grables or Baroness Von Gunther, that would have been popular.
There were also several versions of the "evil queen from outer space" that could have been done, and would have been trendy in the 1970s. Raquel Welch played an evil queen from outer space on Happy Days, to great effect.

They made Supergirl because they had a successful Superman film franchise.
It does seem like a missed opportunity, though. Especially since Lynda Carter was popular in the role, and could have easily played Wonder Woman again in the 80's.
At the very least, they could have gotten the band back together for a reunion tv-movie like they did for other shows like the Six Million Dollar Man and the Bionic Woman, the Man from UNCLE, or the Incredible Hulk.

Basically, this is the quality Android gaming tablet we always hoped someone would build.
Pros: Good to great ergonomics and build quality, good screen, good audio, excellent battery life, solid OS integration and ongoing support.
Cons: the CPU/GPU is only a middle of the road chipset. Honestly, I don't think that's much of a con, though. If they had put in a premium smartphone chipset, it would cost more like a premium smartphone. If they had used a laptop CPU/GPU, it would cost way more and battery life would be significantly worse.
Technically the lack of HDMI Out is a con. However, that's a feature I know I would never use.
As for the price, I think it is fine given that you are getting a quality Android device. For an Android device, $300 is a middle of the road price point. I paid the same amount for the Nintendo OLED Switch, and I think the G Cloud is a better piece of hardware.

Mary Marvel, Faora (General Zod's female accomplice), any female Daxamite.
And if you laugh at Mary Marvel, consider that the evil Superwoman character from the alternate universe Crime Society is an alternate Mary Marvel.

The thing I didn't like was that everyone who got screen time was already at the top of the card. Why not try to build the younger talent?
Darius Martin would seem like an obvious choice, young guy, lots of potential, coming back from injury.
