HBO Max Just Quietly Released A Wild New Season Of Its Bloodiest Survival Thriller

Genndy Tartakovsky thought he was done with . And by all accounts, he was. The second season of his acclaimed Adult Swim animated series - which had earned universal praise for its wildly imaginative (and wildly gory) story of a Neanderthal named Spear who strikes up an unlikely friendship with a Tyrannosaurus rex named Fang - ended on a pretty definitive note: Spear had perished, having sacrificed himself in a climactic battle with a vengeful Viking spirit. But his story lived on in the shape of his daughter with Mira, who we see setting off on adventures on the back of one of Fang's children.

I'd never realized back-slapping was possible over a phone call until then.

Between Christopher Nolan's take in the Dark Knight trilogy and the still-ongoing takes by Matt Reeves, it seems like the Caped Crusader was built for the Nirvana-scored, brooding tone of tragic flashbacks and smeared eyeliner.
