Marvel and DC Animated Films/Television Shows

[MalaCloudy Black]

If you mean The New Batman Adventures, it's got some good episodes, it's got some stinkers. It's - in my opinion - nowhere near the quality B:TAS was, but it isn't soul-rendingly awful or anything either.

[Benjamin]

Oh, it's the New Batman Adventures, apparently.

That's on the backburner, though, as I've been watching Avengers: Earth's Mighties Heroes instead. The two-parter called Breakout is awesome, but Cap's episodes are confusing to me.

[Noah]

You're only just discovering that wonderful cartoon?

I agree that Cap's episodes may get confusing but to be honest, when I feel the desire to pick up the dvd of the first season and watch one or two eps, it's normally the cap ones that I rewatch.

[Avenged Probably]

I believe it's confusing because after 'Breakout' the following episodes (3-7 I think) are each a number of what I think they called webisodes to hype up the show, all set before Breakout and designed to introduce the characters. Then episode 8 follows on from 2.. I had to look it up to figure it out, but I'd recommend not checking out the wiki with the episodes list, spoilers etc.

[Noah]

Is the Dr Strange animated movie, from a few years back, any good?

I didn't mind the trailer for it but I had mixed feelings about the Iron Man animated movie and I don't want to get burned again.

[MalaCloudy Black]

I haven't seen it, but from all I've read the reviews are mixed.

So I managed to see the two episodes that Cartoon Network pulled for DC Nation prior to announcing DC Nation is done until next year. Both definitely would have been good stopping points, if they'd been allowed to actually air instead of being advertised and then being preempted with Johnny Test.

[MalaCloudy Black]

The whole thing about pulling DC Nation is really stupid if it's about what people are speculating it's about.

Young Justice was supposedly going to feature Stephanie Brown, but apparently DC hates the character and fans are speculating that this is the reason the block got pulled a mere two weeks after coming off a summer break.

Apparently DC Nation employees didn't even know the block was being pulled until the last minute.

I'm really hoping it'll be back in January. Don't even care about GL, but I'd hate to see Young Justice and Super Best Friends Forever vanish from television (in the case of YJ that seems like it'd be Weisman's luck, though).

[LittleDaniel]

I like Young Justice now! I've watched the first two episodes so far, it seems pretty fun. Hopefully we reach a point soon where the show can pass the Bechdel test, though.

[MalaCloudy Black]

It does. I think. It's been so long since I saw season 1, I don't remember.

[MalaCloudy Black]

Batman the dark knight returns part 1 was pretty awesome. It sucks though because part 2 doesnt come out until winter 2013 apparently

Turns out it's more like January 2013 http://www.ewbattleground.com/uploads/emoticons/default_biggrin.png' alt=':D'>. Also, Conan O'Brien's definitely voicing a character in it.

[LittleDaniel]

Man oh man oh man Rob Lowe as Captain Marvel is the greatest thing.

[TKz]

Man oh man oh man Rob Lowe as Captain Marvel is the greatest thing.

...What!? Where!?

Turns out it's more like January 2013 . Also,

That is amazing news!

[LittleDaniel]

Man oh man oh man Rob Lowe as Captain Marvel is the greatest thing.

...What!? Where!?

He's on a couple episodes of Young Justice. He's basically doing his excited voice from Parks and Rec the entire time. It's great.

[MalaCloudy Black]

Yeah. I don't know at what point it stops, but at a certain point his brother Chad steps into that role. I assume at the time that Parks & Rec was filming or something, necessitating the change.

[LittleDaniel]

Well, unfortunately it is only two episodes so far (I watched from his first episode to past his being replaced today). However, his brother sounds enough like him that its not completely jarring.

[MalaCloudy Black]

To be truthful, I didn't really notice it the first time I watched it. I might have to go back and rewatch some of season 1..

[=BK=]

Everyone needs to watch Superman vs. The Elite. So,so awesome.

[MalaCloudy Black]

Yeah, that's based on one of the few Superman arcs I like (What's So Funny About Truth, Justice, & The American Way?). It's a great film.
