Re: DC Animated Universe Films
The one I'm actually frustrated about missing is Justice League - War. It's two fold. 1, I got a hold of a digital code about a week ago and watched it. It's actually quite good, really good actually. 2, I could have bought it when I bought Assault in Arkham...it was right next to it in the case at Movie Exchange, $17. But I was thinking, I don't need it. Seems like nothing money wise in retrospect. *sigh*

^^^ Yeah, those are pretty cool. If you have a Fry's Electronics near you they are $18. I wanted to get the Dark Knight Returns and Year One but decided against it since I already own various versions of the comics already.

Re: DC Animated Universe Films
Man I need to just stay out of this thread. My regret got the better of me and I went browsing eBay (never a good idea). Found this mint copy of Throne of Atlantis Steelbook for $25 and even though I already have the digital copy, I bought it anyway
Bad News : I clearly have a sickness and I just spent some decent money to buy a Blu Ray I certainly didn't need that will further clutter up my house.
Good News : I'm up to 7/10 now.

Re: DC Animated Universe Films
I would consider trying to get the Steelbooks I'm missing (which I only have four of the ten) but considering that not all the films are available in a Steelbook to begin with I don't really feel like having them all makes for a complete set. So I'll just buy the ones going forward that I can get otherwise I don't care too much. If I could get the Batman ones I don't have (Assault on Arkham, The Dark Knight Returns, Son of Batman) I'd be happy but since I have all of them I'm not going to pay a bunch to get them.

Has this been mentioned already?
Looks like the redid the artwork to match up with Suicide Squad's color scheme. The movie would've been much better if they used this as an outline.

I had to buy my copy off eBay as well. Luckily I was able to find it paired with the JL: War steelbook for a relatively decent price.
That's funny. But speaking of some of the better films, I think I liked Assault on Arkham the best of the recent DC films.

That above reissue, along with Son of Batman and the separate, kinda-useless Dark Knight Returns Part 1 and Part 2 Blu Rays are currently available at the ever-dwindling Blu Ray section at Costco right now for $7.99 each.

Re: DC Animated Universe Films
Actually in some ways I kind of liked The Dark Knight Returns split in two parts. I haven't seen the version that's edited together but I feel like the two halves work independently fine.

Well I'm gonna start buying the SBs I'm missing. For the other films that came out before the SBs how many have been released with the hardback novels?

Re: DC Animated Universe Films
People like the DCAU for the most part. It's the live action films that have been catching shit (rightfully so). The thing about the added Barbara/Batgirl stuff is not only did it add length but it added some depth to the character that's not in the graphic novel. If you know little about her before reading the original story she gets shot and violated by The Joker and that's pretty much that. At least here we get some aspects of her character on show and I don't think it's disrespectful to the character. She has sex with Bruce but it's something that she wants its not like he forces himself on her or something.
Barbara wanting Batman on some level has been implicit in the character almost since she was first introduced in the 60s. Even watching the Adam West series it's there on a subliminal level. Dick was always an inferior substitute in Barbara's mind for Bruce, which is why Robin and her have never worked out.
We've already seen most male superheroes fully deconstructed since the audience for them has grown much older. Many of the female superheroes have remained in a protected stasis preventing their deconstruction. Gender politics and the typical audience for superhero entertainment is largely behind the disparity.

^ I'm afraid to buy any of those because the completist in me would make me buy all of them.

Re: DC Animated Universe Films
I really like the hardback graphic novel/blu-ray combos, but I have managed to show pretty good restraint. I only have two of them:
Wonder Woman: Gods & Mortals (very highly recommended - both movie + comic)
Batman: Year One (already had the graphic novel but not the BD)
I already have the Batman: Black & White comics digitally and the Gotham Knight BD, so I held off on that though I really like the look of the hardback novel.
I already have The Dark Knight Returns on BD and both digital and softcover copies of the novel, so it just doesn't make sense to pull the trigger on that one.
Are any of the other movies from those sets really really good?

Just watching The Killing Joke. It's ok, nothing special. Hamill is magnificent, but why the Batgirl prologue? Was that in the novel? Also, not sure the need for Joker backstory. I probably just don't understand the history to much.
Really a mild R too...
