Apparently, the History Channel now does dramatized historical — otherwise known as ‘fictional’ — TV shows where Templars are running around with explosions in the background and secret messages in gemstones and bloody conspiracies and clockwork mechanisms and… wait a second. This sounds kind of awesome, actually. So why is it on the Hitler and Trains Channel instead of, say, Netflix?
Cuz the History Channel discovered it made more money showing Ancient Aliens and other fake history shows a while back.
Ancient Astronaut Theorists suggest you may be right.
The channel of Ax Men and Ice Road Truckers?

Yeah, history qua history hasn’t really been their focus for the last 10 years or so.
Kinightfall? First thing that came to mind was they were doing a history of the Batman vs Bain war
Yup. Before the preview image for the trailer loaded, I wondered if it was another DC animated release.
(sigh) At least it isn’t aliens.

I fondly recall The History Channel and The Learning Channel actually being extremely educational.
But that day has long since passed into dust.
