Is no one gonna mention the nod in DoS to ‘78 Superman? That was great stuff!

Re: DC Animated Universe Films
 

Our long national nightmare is over! Hasbro and DC have resolved their lawsuit over DC's Bumblebee character. She can now be used again in media and merchandise.

Re: DC Animated Universe Films
 

The ?

Favorite moment in it by far and I'm not even a huge '78 fan. Surprisingly it made me smile for a good few minutes afterwards.

Movie as a whole was just ok. Thinking of getting off of the steelbook train and if I do that I probably won't pick many/any of these up going forward. In for Reign of the Supermen as that's one of the few comic book arcs I read in real time (even if it wasn't all that great) and Hush because I'm still a sucker for all things Batman but we'll see after those.

Re: DC Animated Universe Films
 

yes, of course!

Re: DC Animated Universe Films
 

Wait, when did this happen? She's in the new Superhero Girls cartoon (and she was in the old one as well), was she marketed under a different name?

Re: DC Animated Universe Films
 

Hasbro sued DC over trademark purposes for their Bumblebee Transformer character. There was a chance that DC would lose the character's name if they had lost the suit.

Re: DC Animated Universe Films
 

This is news to me. I remember Bumblebee first appeared in the mid 70's in the original TT run; way before Hasbro's Bumblebee.

Re: DC Animated Universe Films
 

Plus, how would anyone ever confuse the two characters? :)

Re: DC Animated Universe Films
 

The Death of Superman steelbook is on sale for $15 this week. Make sure to get those price adjustments :)

Re: DC Animated Universe Films
 

Exactly. Although, non fans always confused the word "Shazam" as Captain Marvel's name. So, there's that plus adding Captain Marvel from Marvel probably added to the confusion. But this seems so far off that one is a robot and the other is a girl.

Re: DC Animated Universe Films
 

Where is the sale? Thanks!

That sale makes it far more tempting. But I'm still convinced that we'll see a Dark Knight Returns like deluxe release of the two movies a short time after both are released separately. I still remember how much I kicked myself for buying both of those separate Batman releases only to buy the deluxe steelbook when it was released.

Re: DC Animated Universe Films
 

Since it's not titled part one and two, I don't think there will be one. Just like the follow up to Son of Batman and the Teen Titan movies didn't have deluxe editions with both movies included.

Re: DC Animated Universe Films
 

I'm actually tempted by the Lego Aquaman "movie" that is also on sale... but mainly for the JC lego.

Re: DC Animated Universe Films
 

This Ray Blu-ray was released this week. It ties in to the Arrowverse. Ignore the bad reviews on Amazon. They were done by Comicsgate assholes. If you don't know what Comicsgate is, well they are akin to the tiki torchers from Charlottesville and they hate diversity and "liberal" politics in comics.

Re: DC Animated Universe Films
 

I saw it at Target last week, these are the webisodes?

Re: DC Animated Universe Films

It's written by writers from the Supergirl show and loosely tied into the Arrowverse's continuity. There's a great opening fight between Overgirl and the Freedom Fighters on Earth-X, but the movie is mostly the Ray's origin story.

Some of it works, some of it doesn't. It's probably more entertaining than the prior animated spin-off from the Arrowverse, the Vixen movie that was also assembled from webisodes.

Re: DC Animated Universe Films
 

Looks like nobody posted this from July, but here's the extended teaser for Reign of the Superman, the sequel to Death of Superman. Comes out next year on DVD/BD/Digital

What's up with Superman wearing the shades?

Re: DC Animated Universe Films
 

Do we have one more of these movies coming out this year?

Re: DC Animated Universe Films
 

There’s the Constantine thing on Tuesday, but it’s not part of this same series, exactly.

Re: DC Animated Universe Films
 

Care to provide more information. I've never even heard of this group, and do we really need a political comment in here about a cartoon. Please. Just say don't listen to Amazon, and give us some links to better reviews? Much appreciated.

My guess, and I would agree with you only as far as that, is that this animated film will be pretty good.

I don't give two natman flying fucks what their politics are.

Re: DC Animated Universe Films
 

It's a hate group that spawned out of revulsion for this photo:

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">It's the Marvel milkshake crew! <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/FabulousFlo?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#FabulousFlo</a> <a href="https://t.co/ogn8KEYuPM">pic.twitter.com/ogn8KEYuPM</a></p>&mdash; Heather Antos @ NYCC (@HeatherAntos) <a href="https://twitter.com/HeatherAntos/status/891004244089810945?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 28, 2017</a></blockquote>

The goal is to harass creators on social media, destroy comics featuring characters of color or different sexual orientations, etc. It's the comics equivalent of GamerGate, basically.

But, yeah, I would prefer to see this particular part of the discussion continued on the Politics forum or Comics subforum rather than here.

His future's so bright.

Not sure how many people are into slipcovers here, but several animated DC movies have arrived at Walmart with completely redesigned slipcovers. It's seemingly part of a line promoting all kinds of DC releases, from Justice League to the animated stuff.
