I'm hoping for the best but will they actually adapt the comic or add explosions and fight scenes?

Synopsis

A rich blend of modern myth and dark fantasy in which contemporary fiction, historical drama and legend are seamlessly interwoven, The Sandman follows the people and places affected by Morpheus, the Dream King, as he mends the cosmic — and human — mistakes he’s made during his vast existence.

Is there a reason this is going to Netflix and not DC Universe or whatever their streaming platform is? Just surprised is all, I wasn't sure if their platform is already dead in the water or what. Only thing I had any vague interest in was Titans, and I saw enough Youtube clips to kinda write it off.

Maybe because the success of Lucifer?

lotta talent but also a lotta yikes, faith is wavering

[Krandor]

Huh so Constantine is gonna be female now.

I think Jenna Coleman could pull it off if they're keeping Constantine as the same swarmy bastard

[Andalusian girls]

Constantine's (great great?) grandma! there's a dope issue with her and Orpheus during the French Revolution, glad it's being adapted.

[Krandor]
