Oh man, those eyes. It's like Saitama from One Punch Man cosplaying as Raven. And is she waving?

Re: DC Animated Universe Films
If you’re any kind of Mortal Kombat fan, either past or present, you got to see Scorpion’s Revenge. It’s an MK fans wet dream and even if not great, funny, brutal movie. It pays such great homage to game it’s as if this is a true companion piece. Just great stuff.

Re: DC Animated Universe Films
I want to see that, but it doesn’t really have anything to do with DC..

Re: DC Animated Universe Films
I thought it had something to do with DC Comics for some reason. I know they made the vs game with DC superheroes, but I thought I also saw logo attached to this movie in beginning along with WB. Maybe not...

Re: DC Animated Universe Films
I had forgotten to preorder the Steelbook of this Justice League Dark release, and they weren't having online orders or curbside pick up, so I ventured into a Target for the first time in 3 months on Tuesday. They had 5 copies available, so I bought one. Hope to watch this weekend.
It wasn't available online, but now it is https://www.target.com/p/justice-lea...l/-/A-79682760 |
Re: DC Animated Universe Films
I placed in store pickup at Target for tomorrow. This got a good review at Blu-ray.com. Looking forward to the movie and a few of those extras. Wish they’d have DC Universe extras on Vudu digital.

Re: DC Animated Universe Films
And Blu-ray.com says all 15 animated are interlinked. What are they including, just ones that start with Justice League bc I didn’t think that many? And it can’t be stuff like Wonder Woman or Red Son...
**edit** so I guess this mostly includes the Justice League titles, some Batman, WW: Bloodlines. But how are they all interlinked, especially Bloodlines or some of the Batman animated? |

DC will be starting a new continuity with the next film Superman: Man of Tomorrow (2020). |

Re: DC Animated Universe Films
A fitting end to the debacle that was the New 52. The movie took me by surprise cause I thought I was going to see the adaptation of the Darkseid War but instead it became something new. I feel that the over the top violence and cussing was made to fit the idea of what the New 52 was supposed to be but I'm truly not totally against it. Marvel did something very similar back in the 2000's with their Lionsgate animated films deal but the difference is that at least the characters in these films resembled the ones we saw in the Marvel books. The whole thing about the New 52 is that many of the characters acted in complete opposite of their 70+ year history at the time. This Apokolips War film in particular made a point in that as this version of Superman was completely reckless and vengeful, something that he ain't in the comics. Same with Flash, but this has happened since Barry Allen was brought back. To me, he has become the biggest villain in the DC Universe, which I don't think was done on purpose at DC. I mean, both in these films and comics, his selfishness is what basically ruined the DC timeline, no matter how much they try to blame Dr. Manhattan for it.
I hope the Man of Tomorrow film is the start of the Rebirth storyline. I wished they had done something akin to the DC Rebirth Special as a film. |
Re: DC Animated Universe Films
Sounds good.

Re: DC Animated Universe Films
Just caught up and watched Red Son. The movie is okay but it lost some from the source material. It wasn't bad by any means but I went to IMDB to see the rating and what other people thought about it and saw that a lot of jackasses comigaters review bombed the movie. Man, toxic fandom sucks.

It wasn't available online, but now it is https://www.target.com/p/justice-lea...l/-/A-79682760 Superman: Red Son is pretty good for what it is - a very different Elseworlds tale far removed from normal continuity. My only serious complaint about the movie was its handling of Lois Lane. I just don't get why so many Elseworlds put Lois and Lex together. https://www.doblu.com/2020/03/27/sup...4k-uhd-review/ |

Re: DC Animated Universe Films
Since when has Lex Luther been a part of the Justice League? I will say while I’m liking the movie, Apokolips War, I’m not loving the voice actors. O’Mara good for Batman (know he’s played before), do like Dawson as Wonder Woman (not sure if before), Jerry O’Connell unrecognizable as Superman (which I too know he’s done before). But I had no idea Darkseid was voiced by Tony Todd. Doesn’t sound like him at all and I’m usually so good at picking out popular voice actors or any actor who does voice over work (in cartoons or tv ads, narrations, etc.) really, he’s not menacing at all to me and I think weakest of voice actors and I love Todd’s voice!

Re: DC Animated Universe Films
Michael Ironside voiced Darkseid perfectly, so I can see why Tony Todd's voice doesn't feel as spectacular as that one.

Re: DC Animated Universe Films
Wow. I just saw Death of Superman (2nd time) and Reign of Superman (1st) to prep in continuation of AW. While Death was ok, it really had no story whatsoever. The entire movie was just one big fight with Doomsday and the end result of course. Sure, there was a little sentiment with the Clark and Lois scenes, but it was just one big fight. Now, Reign was something totally different and so much better. That had story, humor, action, sentiment. I loved it. It has become my 2nd favorite DC animated after Wonder Woman (2009). Reign was flat out great. Suspense, tense, everything you can get out of an animated superhero movie. Now, look very forward to JLD: AW. But, which DC animated film showed what happened to Justice League, especially Batman coming under control of Darkseid? I know the beginning showed some of what happens to Supes, but what about rest? Either way looking forward to concluding this saga and what seems to really be a trilogy. Good stuff.

Do you want to see your favorite heroes pointlessly maimed, mutilated, and murdered (which I'll spoiler below)? Enjoy horrible dialogue with mostly stilted delivery? Do you confuse "adult" with "mature"? Do you love extensive use of fart rock on your soundtracks and a multitude of cliched jokes? Then this is the movie for you!
The whole thing feels like it was concocted by a highschooler who just read Uber and was like "Yeah, let's do that, but with characters that are heroes to children". It is infuriatingly bad. |
Re: DC Animated Universe Films
So does this new Superman: Man of Tomorrow kick off another wave and they are all going to be prequels or origin stories? Cause that would suck.

Looks like a good one in my opinion. I’ll pick it up.

Re: DC Animated Universe Films
That actually looked pretty damn good. When out again?

Re: DC Animated Universe Films
There's a new R rated Deathstroke animated movie. Comes out August 18th on BD and I believe the 4th on digital.

Re: DC Animated Universe Films
August is usually reserved for DC's one annual "Hard" R animated project. While I like Deathstroke as a villain, he's becoming overexposed.

Re: DC Animated Universe Films
No release date yet for this but it looks interesting. It directly ties in to Batman: Under the Red Hood. Also, it's interactive, meaning viewers will get different stories depending on their choices.
Five fascinating tales from the iconic DC canon, including the first interactive film presentation in Warner Bros. Home Entertainment history, come to animated life in DC Showcase - Batman: Death in the Family. Produced by Warner Bros. Animation and DC, the anthology of 2019-2020 animated shorts arrives from WBHE on Blu-ray and Digital in Fall 2020. Anchoring the compilation of shorts is Batman: Death in the Family, WBHE's first-ever venture into interactive storytelling that allows fans to choose where the story goes through an innovative navigation guided by the viewer's remote control. Central to the extended-length short is an adaptation of "Batman: A Death in the Family," the 1988 landmark DC event where fans voted by telephone to determine the story's ending. The interactive Blu-ray presentation offers many different ways for viewers to tell the Batman: Death in the Family story, with numerous twists and turns in the middle, and several possible endings. The choices along the way put greater weight on the viewers' decisions and result in even stronger stories. Produced, directed and written by Brandon Vietti, Batman: Death in the Family offers an inventive take on the long-demanded story. In the new animated presentation, the infamous murder of Batman protégé Jason Todd will be undone, and the destinies of Batman, Robin and The Joker will play out in shocking new ways as viewers make multiple choices to control the story. And while Batman: Under the Red Hood provides a baseline, the story also branches in new directions and features several characters previously unseen in the original film. Bruce Greenwood (The Resident, Star Trek, iRobot), Vincent Martella (Phineas and Ferb) and John DiMaggio (Futurama, Adventure Time) reprise their Batman: Under The Red Hood roles of Batman, young Jason Todd and The Joker, respectively. Other featured voices are Zehra Fazal (Young Justice) as Talia al Ghul and Gary Cole (Veep) as Two-Face and James Gordon. |
Re: DC Animated Universe Films
Honestly that’s pretty cool. Like a choose your adventure book, but only as a movie. On top of that it’s one of the best Batman stories, and has ties to maybe the best DCAU film, Under the Red Hood. I’ll be grabbing A Death in the Family day one for sure.

Re: DC Animated Universe Films
So much. Not as overwhelming as when I first started maybe few minutes. Only because of games that I love like Borderlands and it’s missions, Red Dead Redemption and the many many. Assassin Creed: Odyssey do I now understand and thoroughly enjoy games like this. Asylum was very linear, but grew to love it after giving 2nd chance and so glad I did. And especially dark and brooding. I like that I’m advancing, but also continuing doing sides and leveling up and stuff. Much less overwhelming than over 9 years ago...
