Yeah, i'm curious how they'll do the art style. But yeah, a big appeal for me is being a big Jim Lee fan.

I know about the Fatal Five. I own almost all of their original appearances in Adventure and the later Superboy and LSH issues. What I'm wondering is why WB would make a movie with the JLA and not the LSH. Sounds like a lame idea.

I don't know who is making this movie but I remember an interview with Bruce Timm about TAS. They wanted to change the artwork with a couple of episodes that were based on stories that Denny O'Neal and Neal Adams did. They wanted it to look like Neal's art but found it difficult to do; especially with the budget constraints. They did do a bit of Frank Miller in one episode though not the whole thing.

Since this is a movie the budget is obviously bigger. So, hopefully they do it in Jim Lee's style.

Same reason I expect them to change up the members of the FF. It will sell more copies.

BTW don't know if anyone else noticed but "The Killing Joke" and "Assault on Arkham" are being re-released on Sept 11th in 4K.

Really? In my neck of the woods, it's one of the most popular stories in all comics. It also kind of led to the return of Jason Todd.

Also, Best Buy has several of the DC Animated movies for sale

Hush has beautiful art. I think it's Jim Lee's most impressive run.

I think it's certainly well known and popular, especially for casual comic book fans like myself, but I've just heard a lot of negativity for it from "hardcore" comic book readers about the Hush/Tommy Ellott character and the inclusion of all these characters for fan service.

The art is indeed beautiful but the story is thin and blah.

So I watched 2 of the movies from the DC set over the last few days.

I watched Wonder Woman and Justice League: New Frontier.

Was New Frontier some kind of special comic series/take on the characters? Didn't realize that it took place post-Korean War. The animation style was also kind of different. It was mostly a Green Latern origin story. I enjoyed it, but can't say it was my favorite take on the characters.

Wonder Woman was okay. I did like Keri Russell and Nathan Fillion's voice work as Diana and Steve Trevor. It did seem this disc was re-formatted to help promote Wonder Woman 2017. One of the featurettes had Patty Jenkins being interviewed.

Yeah New Frontier was a mini (maxi?) series by Darwyn Cooke, basically an Elseworlds. It's also why the animation style was so different.

Was there ever a steelbook for Batman: Year One?

I can't seem to find one searching on the net, so I am assuming no but figured one of you guys could answer for certain.

I don't think there was one.

i thought and still think Wonder Woman is the best animated DC ever put out. hope this next installment is similar in style and tone, but knowing DC, it won't be...

It looks like Target will have two steelbooks for The Death of Superman. Regular blu ray and 4K.

I'd like to get The Death of Superman. But, not sure if the $9-10 more for 4K UHD is worth it, especially for an animated movie. I'm leaning towards just getting the BD.

The reviews for the previous 4K DC Animated films have not been kind.

Yeah. I've picked up all of them to date (mostly on eBay, where they get really cheap, really quickly), and although I would pay a couple extra bucks, I wouldn't go any further than that. There's no immersive audio, and the leap in definition/detail is minimal. It comes down to whether HDR and improved compression (less of that annoying banding!) are worth it to you.

Thanks appreciate the tips. Blu-Ray it is. I figured for animation it's very hit or miss with more miss.

Just a heads up the Target ad for next week is out and the regular Blu ray steelbook is fucking $24.99! This is getting ridiculous. The regular 4K version is $27.99, so God knows how much that steelbook will be. Thankfully the online prices haven't changed yet, so I just locked in the $19.99 price.

but the site shows $19.99 now. never heard of price going up on release...

Well, unless the ad is lying, go ahead and check it out on the other site.

Yeah, I'm skipping out on this one. I'm not a Superman fan really and I'm fairly convinced this will have a super deluxe steelbook when both parts get released anyway. Now if it had been the latest Batman or even Justice League, it would have been a much harder decision.
