Completely untrue. DC has a ton of awesome superheroes and supporting characters, WB just doesn't know how to write, cast, or direct any of them well.

Disagree about the superheroes. It's really just Batman that I see as complex and less-than-perfect. The supporting casts, however, I can agree with. And the DCU hasn't interested me at all because I haven't heard any reason to go see another superhero movie.

Also I feel sorry for anyone unfortunate enough to have been his patient before.

Likewise. This guy is slime. I like Biscuit's description of him as "lizard person." He immediately gave me bad vibes, but it was the self-promotion of his book where he lost me entirely - and that was EARLY. I didn't fully pay attention to him after that because I'd already checked out from this guy, so I missed a lot of those points.

Thinking that drugs will guarantee abuse of an SO... ridiculous. Being difficult to live with does NOT equate to deliberate psychological abuse. And Lizard Guy trying to pass off Amber as a "victim" who went crazy because of Johnny was hilarious. Uh, no. IT WAS THE OTHER WAY AROUND! Saying that Johnny is the one with Narcissistic Personality Disorder is ridiculous, since that's Amber (who's the one stomping on other people here?). And him thinking that Amber, the perpetrator, wouldn't seek counseling is... yikes. This guy knows nothing. A lot of his points were pretty spot-on about Amber, not about Johnny. She's the victim-blamer. I hate to be an armchair psychiatrist (because that's what Dr. Spiegel is), but I'd take a gander that she has some mix of NPD, Bipolar Disorder, Severe Depressive Disorder, ADHD, and BPD. I would entrust someone with a degree in neuropsychology to evaluate her, because I would never qualify myself as an "expert" witness.

The first guy at least appeared credible but unknowing about a patient that wasn't his. I don't see this having any negative impact on his career, just on Amber's lack of a case. "So you say you have an expert judgment, but... you weren't provided all the evidence? How can we trust you when you've never examined Johnny and have never seen half of these images?" It's also ridiculous how they spent so much time on that one finger injury as if that proves anything at this point (it doesn't). Rottenborn trying to dis Camille firmly got me to hate him. Camille is the heroine of this story.

This day is exactly why I'd never want jury duty. I'd be so disengaged and bored, and I'd be like "Amber's guilty and has no case. Nothing can change my mind. Can we go now?" and hope that the rest of the jury agreed. I'm also looking forward to Amber's clock expiring with a beep and the judge telling the witness to finish their answer, because that's the last word Ms. Turd's team gets.

I can see the comparisons to Ana de Armas in terms of when popularity spiked. However, 1) Ana's younger and 2) Ana's a fantastic actress (I mean, just watch Knives Out and No Time to Die, and then go "HOLY SHIT THAT WAS THE SAME GIRL!?" despite the two roles being direct opposites). Also, I'd consider casting Ana as Camille in the movie version of this trial. No idea who'd play Amber, since her career is over. Johnny would play himself and co-produce.

Also Dr. Spiegel surely is getting his career destroyed over this cross-exam. What a weasel.
