Antony Starr Stirs the Superhero Pot
Antony Starr is more than a familiar face for fans of the Amazon hit show ‘The Boys’. He plays the character Homelander. Recently, he stirred up a storm among comic book fans. How did he do it? By suggesting that Batman isn’t really a superhero. According to Starr, Batman is just a man in a fancy bat costume with cool toys.
Batman Is Just a Cool Guy in a Bat Outfit?
As a young boy, Antony Starr looked up to Batman. However, as he grew older, his perspective concerning Batman took a turn. He now views Batman in a different light. This shift in thought reflects the way ‘The Boys’ looks at superheroes. This hit show skillfully pokes fun at common superhero ideas while weaving in important social and political insights.
Antony Starr’s take on the Future of DC Universe

Homelander’s Part in ‘The Boys’
The fourth season of ‘The Boys’ ended recently. Fans are already clamoring for the next season. Starr’s character, Homelander, showcased his immense powers, proving how versatile the actor is. Homelander’s complexities have played a big role in the show’s success. Why? Because it tears apart the usual superhero template.
The Boys Season 4’s Aftermath
The final episode of ‘The Boys’ season 4 left viewers on the edge of their seats. The finale set the scene for a world where Homelander rules with full force and no mercy. Then there was the mid-credits scene implying that Soldier Boy, a character played by Jensen Ackles, will cause major shifts in the next season.
Starr gave a hint in a recent interview that Homelander will have some internal conflict regarding Soldier Boy. This will add an interesting touch to the wait for the clash between the two characters in season 5. We can’t wait to see how this relationship unfolds in the next season. The unpredictable storyline and characters, like Homelander, keep pushing the limits of the superhero realm.
