Re: DC Animated Universe Films
Just saw Hush and man the twist at the end was fucking ridiculous. The Hush storyline is a modern classic that reinvigorated the character and brought back the idea of Jason Todd. Instead we get that stupid twist that would be akin as Doomsday revealing himself at the end to be Mister Mxyzptlk. But again, this is the big problem with these guys adapting some of these stories to animated films. They want everything to fit in under 90 minutes and Hush isn't like that.

Re: DC Animated Universe Films
Got around to watching Hush last night. I didn’t mind it for being a very stripped down version of the story, but it definitely wasn’t the best of these animated movies. It really felt more like a Batman and Catwoman love story with some of the elements of the Hush storyline thrown in.

Re: DC Animated Universe Films
I didn’t pick up either of the individual releases so I’ll probably grab this. I’ve heard the first part is quite a bit better than the second part.

Unless there is something new, I'll stick with the individual films and pass on this edit.

I’m looking forward to WW: Bloodlines even though I don’t think it will live up how much I loved first.

I didn't realize that WW stands for Wonder Woman and thought for a second they were making an adaptation of that horrid series of annuals they put out back in the 90s where they introduced all these new heroes that besides Hitman were never heard from again.

Looks like there is a change for how the DC Animated movies will be shown on DC Universe. Before it was the same day release as the BD release. Now they've changed it and it will be available 90 days afterwards now.

Re: DC Animated Universe Films
Really holding back the animated movies being available on DC Universe for a while seems like a smart move if they’re going to continue putting them out on Blu-ray and DVD.

Re: DC Animated Universe Films
Liking Bloodlines so far, but it’s as if previous never existed. Rewrote beginnings with the island and Steve Trevor. I was hoping a true continuation, but oh well. Also liked Russell and Fillion. Rosario Dawson and Jeff Donovan not as good, chemistry wise. Hope this stands on own and is just as magnificent as first, but doubt bc I hold that in such high regards. I did love the opening title after she’s asked what her code name is...

Re: DC Animated Universe Films
Agree that WONDER WOMAN: BLOODLINES is a terrific addition to the DC animated movies. Definitely takes a lot from the first Greg Rucka run of WW. Really made good use of Diana’s rogues gallery.
