Constantine: City of Demons
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6404896/
Anyone else plan on checking this out? They released a few short episodes of this a few months back, but they were basically little more than snippets, and not a fully whole story. But now it's a full, 90-minute film. And it's supposedly a follow on from the 2017 Justice League Dark animated film.

Based on the shorts from a while back, yes. And, according to someone else I spoke to earlier who watched it, there is some kind ofSpoiler:The film, like a few of the DCAU films, is actually R-rated.
demon sex party lol, where bats fly out of someone's butthole, or something along those lines.
The gorey/explicit scenes in this film are its biggest redeeming qualities, imo. It goes places I've not seen from any DCAU film in the past.
That's what I am still trying to figure out lol, so that I can watch it myself. I know it's out there now, but I have been having trouble finding a reliable stream for it somewhere. I tried checking if it was on CW Seed (which is where the snippets originated from, before it became a full DCAU film), but that site just completely spazzes out for me every time I try to use it nowadays. The links seem broken and send me in a never-ending loop, without getting me to where I want to go.
It's interesting though. I am pretty sure this was originally meant to be a continuation for the CW version of Constantine (like the Vixen animated shorts that ended up becoming an animated CW film). But it went in a different direction, and ended up being added to the DCAU universe instead. But it can be confusing with Constantine in particular, as CW Constantine and DCAU Constantine are both played by Matt Ryan.
It wasn't great, but it was better than the rep it got at the time. I felt like it was actually just figuring out the formula when they canned it, to be honest.
Because it was supposed to be a 22-episode series initially, IIRC. But they stopped it after 13. But it was kind of doomed to fail, because it was stuck in a shit timeslot, with almost zero advertisement. Most people I spoke to at the time had no idea this was even a thing until after it got cancelled.

Thanks, will look into this.On a related note:
Was that Constantine TV that came out a few years ago any good?
Yeah, it was slow going at first, but it was finding itself by the time it got canned.
At least the character is gonna be on the upcoming season of legends as a series regular. I think this exposure could potentially set up another Constantine show.
