Koete Posted November 6, 2010 Report Share Posted November 6, 2010 ...You know that it's been cancelled, right? They're still airing the rest of the episodes, but it's cancelled. There's still the 13 episode third season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stavros Posted November 20, 2010 Report Share Posted November 20, 2010 Koete didn't leave much to mention, but I thought it was a nice reference to Azreal that Damien Wayne Batman wore the Azbat's outfit. Granted it's not as cool as his awesome trenchcoat costume from Morrison's run, but it was still a nice reference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightWing Posted November 20, 2010 Report Share Posted November 20, 2010 Also, the future scenes had Batman Beyond-style electric guitar rather than the orchestral stuff. Overall, really great stuff this episode. And yeah, the teaser made me geek out. Apokolips=awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted it's not as cool as his awesome trenchcoat costume from Morrison's run, but it was still a nice reference. That wasn't AzBats, that was an Elseworlds future Batman costume. Also, the in-joke with Damien's sidekick/son was that he was voiced by Dederich Bader's son. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right, it wasn't exactly it, but the red eyes and leg bandolier were hallmarks of that outfit. I'm sure it was at least a partial influence. Also the future villains shown were nice. I mean, I don't give a crap about the Black Hand members from RIP, but at least they showed Pyg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnimeToonFan Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 Yeah, I know i'm late but yep it sucks that this got cancelled. Seems a lot of new super hero cartoon series have been cancelled lately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koete Posted November 29, 2010 Report Share Posted November 29, 2010 Description for "Darkseid Descending!" Batman assembles a new, motley Justice League to thwart a pending Earth invasion by Darkseid. The rag-tag group can hardly get along - let alone battle a near god - but they have to learn to pull it all together when they become Earth's last hope.

Koete Posted November 29, 2010 Report Share Posted November 29, 2010 That was my first thought as well. Sounds awesome if that's the way they go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koete Posted December 4, 2010 Report Share Posted December 4, 2010 "Darkseid Descending!" -Hilarious Firestorm teaser! -S.T.A.R. Labs! -JL Watchtower! -Booster Gold hitting on Fire and Ice! -Martian Manhunter! -Guy Gardner hitting on Fire! -"By Neptune's trident you do not know how to tell a story!" -"Apologies. I do tend to prattle on. Does anybody want a cookie?" -Booster Gold, Guy Gardner, and Aquaman fight while Martian Manhunter chills out and eats cookies... -...until the cookies get knocked out of his hands! -Greatest. Cut. Ever! -Auxiliary Batcave under the Lincoln Memorial! -DARKSEID! -"Impressive...for a mortal. But in the end, you're just a human with a few toys." -DARKSEID! -Question saves the day! That was aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You Know Who Posted December 4, 2010 Report Share Posted December 4, 2010 meh... Michael-Leon Wooley's Darkseid was better than Andre Baugher's, but still made me wish Michael Ironside had voiced him. Wasn't crazy about the way they animated his facial expressions either. Also, a Darkseid episode without Superman? WHAT? On the positive side, Ice as a ditsy Swede was nice and I liked J'onn J'onzz better than I had expected to after watching the previews for it. I'm also glad I wasn't the only who caught the C-3PO joke. All in all, above-average but not great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koete Posted December 5, 2010 Report Share Posted December 5, 2010 I figure the rights were cleared after this episode was produced. I also liked that, given Batman's godlike status in the show (I love B&B, but it's getting ridiculous), Batman didn't defeat Darkseid.

That I will give it, and though I wasn't crazy about the show's version of Darkseid, I'm glad they didn't ruin him like they did the Joker. In fact, I think the show has done a disservice to the DC Villains as a whole by just making them two-dimensional antagonists and not getting in deep with any of them like the DC Animated Universe did.

KnightWing Posted December 5, 2010 Report Share Posted December 5, 2010 I figure the rights were cleared after this episode was produced. You are correct, sir. The show's producers wouldn't explain how it happened, but to "thank Geoff Johns for that one." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll have to agree to disagree on The Joker, as I find him to be absolutely hilarious and used to great effect. As far as the villains go, holding them to modern comic book standards I can see your point, but looking at them in the context of the show as a whole, I can't imagine a more well done tribute to the Silver Age.

It is true that the show is one giant tribute to the Silver Age and I'm glad that by and large it doesn't take itself too seriously. I'm not the person to ask about what the Silver Age was all about since I'm just coming into comics, but having seen or read a few tributes to the era, I prefer those that pay respect to it but are clearly written with modern sensibilities and without the silly puns, like DC: The New Frontier and the Justice League episode "Legends". The Joker is a character that has gone in several directions since he was first created, but he should always be either sinister or hilarious, or, ideally, BOTH and this version is NEITHER. I've seen every episode he's been in and cannot remember him saying or doing a single thing that made me laugh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
