FYI, Justice League vs The Fatal Five is now on DC Universe for those who subscribe to it.

I'll probably check it out later today.

This was pretty good. Especially liked use of the 90s Superman animated theme for supes and the return to the classic costume. Animation in places was great and never a problem. 7/10

Have gotten all the steels from the last 3 years. Was on the fence about having this be my breaking point but decided against it since I’ll definitely want Hush, the tmnt one, Wonder Woman, and the rumored red son for sure. Glad I put off ending my collection. This was worth it.

Re: DC Animated Universe Films
 

I'm in the same boat, but have recently skipped the ones I have zero interest in (the two Adam West movies and that anime ninja one). Maybe it's time to go back in my collection and sell off the ones I never watched more than once. I'm sure a few of the rare ones would be worth the leg work. And at least I still have the digital versions if I want to revisit.

Re: DC Animated Universe Films
 

I missed out on a ton of steelbooks so I'm no longer inclined to get them all, but I love the Legion so picked up this one. However I'll probably never open it because I can just watch it on DC Universe. It's a sickness.

Re: DC Animated Universe Films
 

I got all of them, including all steelbooks and all of the ones that came in with a figure.

As for JL vs FF, I liked it, but it felt like a violent episode of JLU and not a movie itself. By the way, I read online that this film and the Batman and Harley one are considered part of the DCAU/Timmverse

Re: DC Animated Universe Films
 

I was just going to ask a similar question, how "adult" is this movie? Like is it absolutely not appropriate for kids like the Suicide Squad one?

Re: DC Animated Universe Films
 

There are several bloody murders in the movie and the new Green Lantern says shit at least once. There was another scene where one of the Fatal Five said something close to fuck, but changed the word to something else to not make it so obvious.

The film looks like a spiritual successor to JLU but it has its share of continuity problems to make it part of that world. Some incongruities and a death in the spoiler below



If there is something that this movie shows is that there are definitely hundreds of stories that can still be told in the DCAU. If the DC Universe streaming service really wants to boost their subs, then return to making new episodes of JLU. I believe that everyone that still alive from that series is willing to come back and do more.

Re: DC Animated Universe Films
 

Also, saw the preview of Batman: Hush. I don't know how the hell they are going to fit all that story with all those characters in 90 minutes. If there's a story that deserves at least 2 parts, is this one.

Re: DC Animated Universe Films
 

That would be incredible. Heck, even a continuation of Justice League Action free from the whims of Cartoon Network would be awesome, though they're clearly going for an older demographic.

There was a time when I thought they were trying for a kind of merged universe with Young Justice just because the character designs were so similar, but it seems like they're content just having all of these be loosely connected.

Re: DC Animated Universe Films
 

Is Hush only a one parter? I swore it was two. I know The Long Halloween is getting two parts.

Re: DC Animated Universe Films
 

Only one film announced, not a 2-parter, so far.

I thought so too. My impression was that Young Justice was connected to the DC shorts included in some of these releases, Under the Red Hood, Doom, and everything after Flashpoint with the exception of Batman & Harley, JL vs FF, the Killing Joke and Gotham by Gaslight. The animation was similar, share many voice actors and it kinda made a connecting story between everything. Seeing how succesful the MCU is, I wonder why DC hasn't done the same at least in their animation, but then I remember that they are owned by WB, who can't still figure out how to do a good Superman movie in the 21st century.

Justice League vs The Fatal Five steelbook is on sale this week for $15 at Target

Re: DC Animated Universe Films
 

Re: DC Animated Universe Films
 

Is that in the ad, or is it 15 bucks because it shares an SKU with the normal version and the normal version is that price? Because I don't think I've seen the steelbook in stores since the launch date (though who knows what's hiding in the stockroom... the employees sure don't).

Re: DC Animated Universe Films
 

Obligatory UHD and BD review for Justice League Vs. The Fatal Five. It's a nice steelbook.

Justice League vs the Fatal Five 4K UHD Blu-ray Review - DoBlu.com

Re: DC Animated Universe Films
 

It's online too and should show local store availability

Re: DC Animated Universe Films
 

Thanks! I rarely do this but for a 7 buck difference might as well return and rebuy, or see if they'll match.

Re: DC Animated Universe Films
 

Ditto. Thanks.

Re: DC Animated Universe Films
 

Steelbook is "in stock" at my local Target. However, after looking at the same shelf I just looked at, the employee determined it could not be found despite three showing up in inventory. Like he didn't even pretend to look in the back or anything.

Well played, Target. You get to keep my 7 bucks.
