Nobody Can Save Them
I attempted to watch the animated Batman: The Killing Joke but couldn't get too far in it since so far it could be called Sexism: The Animation. With where the source material went with Barbara, I didn't have the confidence in these creators to go there with them, especially with what they'd unnecessarily added to this version that hadn't shown up in the source material.

Watching Doctor Strange, I couldn't help wondering how anyone could possibly fight in those chaotic Inception-scapes. I imagine that in actuality those battles would be very short and end in death and broken bones for almost everyone. I did appreciate the movie's trippy visuals, since it'd take an amazing writer and actor to make me feel sympathetic toward a rich, spoiled, arrogant, jackass neurosurgeon who causes most of his own problems, and the movie didn't provide those so I needed something to enjoy. (So the MCU's Doctor Strange is a less charming Tony Stark?)
Though the bit in the credits with Strange talking to Thor about Thor and Loki searching for Odin in New York City piqued my interest so much more. Give me that movie! (Though have they looked for him playing skeeball at the Jersey Shore? I'm just sayin'.) I liked how Thor almost seemed proud and "of course" about Strange mentioning that Loki is one of the threats the sorcerer supreme guards against.
