Missy Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 I'd like to see a middle ground. Say four features a year, first feature classic comic storyline, second original story, third classic and end the year with another original show. I absolutely agree.

KnightWing Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 That's a good formula. I think The Flash is due for an animated movie, especially since he's probably going to be the next DC hero to get a live-action movie after GL, Superman, and Batman. A Wonder Woman sequel would be preferable, but since the first one did less-than-satisfactory sales, it's unlikely to be made unless a WW live-action film comes out.

You Know Who Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 Though it would be kind of risk given that the characters aren't household names, I'd like to see a JSA film set during World War II and with Vandal Savage as the main villain.

KnightWing Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 That would be a kickass DC Showcase short, especially if they made it slightly longer like Superman/Shazam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuaveStar Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 That would be a kickass DC Showcase short, especially if they made it slightly longer like Superman/Shazam. That's the most likely option. As I don't think it'd sell as a main feature, unless they were able to stick Geoff Johns "Former writer of Smallville!!*" on the box. *He may have only written four episodes, but that still makes him a writer for the show.

You Know Who Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 Yeah, that's a mark of shame both he and Jeph Loeb have to bear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuaveStar Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 Yeah, that's a mark of shame both he and Jeph Loeb have to bear Jeph Loeb also has heroes on his list. What I meant was the only way you could really market something like the JSA on their own to people you would really need something like that to make them give a shit as a casual purchase.

KnightWing Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 Well, to be fair, Johns's episodes actually elevated Smallville more towards the traditional DC universe. Loeb's didn't really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stavros Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 That's because Loeb's featured Clarke snogging his own mother and Doomsday eating Chloe. I presume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightWing Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 That's because Loeb's featured Clarke snogging his own mother and Doomsday eating Chloe. I presume. Loeb's had Clark using x-ray vision to look though Chloe and Lana's pants, then zooming off to Vegas to get married (underage, mind you) to a mentally unstable passive-aggressive psycho girl. His excuse: RED KRYPTONITE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His excuse: RED KRYPTONITE! To be fair, neither of those were Clark's fault. I could see issue taken with his exile at the beginning of Season 3 though. And Tom Welling gives his best performances when he's on red kryptonite/Bizarro/from an alternate universe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightWing Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 Oh, I know. But it is rather funny how frequently these types of over-the-top things seem to pop up in Loeb's writing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
You Know Who Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 And yet it makes more sense than the majority of stuff that comes out of Smallville, at least with his DC work (can't speak for Onslaught Reborn or Ultimatum). Before we veer too much off-topic, let me pose this question: What do y'all think of the use of Hollywood/television celebrities with by and large higher profiles than those hired by Romano in the DCAU shows? (ex. Anne Heche in Superman: Doomsday; Alfred Molina in Wonder Woman; Michael Madsen in First Flight; James Woods in Crisis on Two Earths; Summer Glau in S/B: Apocalypse; Christina Hendricks in All-Star Superman) Do they make good use of them? Are they cast in the right roles? Is it overdone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightWing Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 It's done because Romano is very good at hearing actors' voices from random shows and movies and knowing where to place them in animated features, so, naturally, she'd pick actors that were popular enough for her to notice. I think that overall, it's not overdone. It's been working out well so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koete Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 James Woods was fantastic as Owlman. One of my favorite castings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
You Know Who Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 I think it's rather hit-and-miss. For the most part, Romano is excellent at casting good voices, but I feel she sometimes misses the mark with some of the casting in these movies (e.g. Andre Braugher as Darkseid, Christina Hendricks as Lois Lane, about half the cast of Crisis on Two Earths, though James Woods does not fall into that group).

I think that might be a personal opinion thing, then. I loved Hendricks as Lois Lane, and the cast of Crisis on Two Earths was really great. Braugher as Darkseid would have probably been fine if not for the fact that we'd already heard Ironside's absolutely-perfect version.
