DC's Superman Spinoff Casts Gorilla Grodd Villain
CB
COMICBOOK.COMDC's moving forward with its small-screen slate after Supergirl wrapped, and the Jimmy Olsen-focused series DC Crime has found its main antagonist. Gorilla Grodd is officially locked in as the big bad for the spinoff. Interestingly, the article notes that fans might have better villain options for the show. It's a solid choice for a street-level crime series, even if some viewers are already brainstorming alternatives.
ComicsBuzz Take
Using one of Superman's classic heavy-hitters for a Jimmy Olsen show is either inspired casting that gives weight to street-level storytelling, or a sign the DCU is recycling rogues galleries too quickly—time will tell which.

"Grodd's cool but why waste him on Jimmy Olsen? Would rather see him in main Superman stuff"
