SuaveStar Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 The next movie will be based on the first New 52 Justice League arc. So, they want to create a DCUOM universe? That could be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightWing Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 The plot of that arc was basically "punching punching punching, Darkseid shows up, punch punch boom." So it's pretty much an open canvas for the DCUAM guys. I look forward to seeing how they'll improve on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuaveStar Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 I tried watching Flashpoint yesterday, I found it to be boring and confusing, and turned it off after half an hour. I may go back and try and re-watch it later, but it just was so bland. DC needs to take a break from Geoff Johns comic storylines, as they clearly aren't translating as well to the screen as Under The Red Hood.

KnightWing Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 Just watched Flashpoint. Hoooooooooly crap. Most violent DCUAM by far. Blood everywhere, dismemberment, beheading, murder of children, etc. Dark dark DARK. Were this not an alternate-universe story that'd be beyond bothersome. It's a hundred times better than the comic was, and it's definitely one of the better DCUAMs. I'd say there's an argument for best overall, but that's going to be pretty dependent on personal opinion.

Gareth Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 So apparently at Comic-Con it was announced that Son of Batman will be adapted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gareth Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 Trailer for Son of Batman. Have they just stopped trying to adapt that art-style? The last few films have all had the same character designs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 Love Batman's voice, but it will be difficult getting over Damian's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc20willsave Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 He sounds a little whiny. Also, why the fuck do we need Deathstroke in this story? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 The animation looks the like same shitty shit of Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox, voice acting is awful, and the trailer is B-L-A-N-D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dread Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 Huh...Joe Lansdale adapted Batman and Son. I'm slightly more interested as he was the one who wrote the Jonah Hex short, which is in my opinion, pretty much the best thing this animated contingent has come up with.

Animation looks stellar, voice acting sounds fine (not amazing, but fine for what little we get), and the trailer is among the best we've had from the DCUAMs. DCUAM trailers are almost always awful, but that's one of the rare ones that actually makes the movie look good. I'm not even that much of fan of Morrison's Batman run, but I'm kinda psyched to see that movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gareth Posted July 11, 2015 Report Share Posted July 11, 2015 The Killing Joke is to be adapted into an animated feature in 2016. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted July 11, 2015 Report Share Posted July 11, 2015 Seems like a good pick. Wouldn't work live action. There were supposedly two others they announced. Anyone know? I'm not seeing the "announcement breakdown posts" like I have in past years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dread Posted July 11, 2015 Report Share Posted July 11, 2015 Batman: Bad Blood, featuring Batwoman, and Justice League vs. Titans. Hmm...they've been talking about Judas Contract for so fucking long, I wonder if it would follow JLvT or if they've just thrown it aside.

Gareth Posted July 11, 2015 Report Share Posted July 11, 2015 Hmm...they've been talking about Judas Contract for so fucking long, I wonder if it would follow JLvT or if they've just thrown it aside. They've pretty much moved on to exclusively making movies with either Justice League, Batman, or Superman in the titles, so I would guess no. But who knows, if JLvT is successful they may change their minds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stavros Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 Gods and Monsters, and I don't say this lightly, was absolutely great. It's helped greatly that it's basically an AU tale to DCAU, the character designs, animation styles and voice casts are that of that world to provide real contrast with how things really should be because minor spoiler, this exists entirely within itself, there is no normal league in this film. But this still feels like a lost JLU story, and one of the better ones at that if clearly more violent than that show ever was. Plenty of little twists, nothing is quite what you expect but that's the fun too, taking your understanding of the elements in play and doing some guesswork as to how it's all going to play out. Highly recommend for any fans of the DCAU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donomark Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 I thought it was good, not great. It's by far and away the closest the animated movies get to being "R" rated. There's no real effort to try and water the material down, to the point where phrases like "Jesus" and "Goddammit" are thrown in. There's an entire scene where people are getting slaughtered left and right that watches as though they did it just because they could. Ultimately I thought the characters were far more interesting than the story itself. I liked all three of the main trinity, with Wonder Woman having the best origin story out of everyone. The vampire Batman was pretty badass, and Superman's new origin is really interesting. The actual plot is a "meh" mystery with a lame payoff in my opinion. I'm also officially tired of the copied and pasted "Timm Girl" design for the women. The animation wasn't that great, so there was hardly any changes in their facial expressions. So very soon I got sick of seeing the same kewpie-doll look to their designs. I would like to see more from these characters in a better story. The movie's worth checking out just for them, and to witness the most merciless, highest body count this production crew has ever amassed.

Stavros Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 The Timm-girl generic design is definitely a thing, it did make me think WW was another leaguer for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonC Posted July 15, 2015 Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 "Get me the President. And a mop." I liked it. A LOT. First DCAU movie I will be buying the DVD for. I want very much to see more in this universe. Like how these people even came together as a group for starters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davedevil Posted March 14, 2016 Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 First still from The Killing Joke. Conroy and Hamill officially confirmed for Batman and the Joker. Tara Strong's playing Barbara, while Ray Wise is voicing Jim Gordon.I have such a love-hate relationship with that book, but I am so fricking hyped for this.

Donomark Posted March 14, 2016 Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 This is one of those stories where you really couldn't believably have anyone else play these parts. Too bad Bob Hastings won't be there. RIP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonC Posted March 15, 2016 Report Share Posted March 15, 2016 I just hope they do the scene at the end with them laughing together. That creeped me the hell out when I read it the first, second and third times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
