There's a big Cloverfield reference when Uhura orders a "Slusho Mix" from the bar. Nice J.J. Abrams crossover there.

Yeah, that must have been the problem. I think that's why I had a problem with the ending. I was like "What?!?! There is no moral message here! Stop pretending there is!" But you may be correct. I'll have to remember to leave my brain at home for the sequel.

Ohhh, I missed the Tim Drake part in your first post. My fault. Haha.

Just saw it for a second time. I think my favorite part was that

No... having random sex with assassin women who regularly beat you is probably not a good idea, however. (kinda hot, though)

I think it was a show that's great if you look at it through the same eyes that you had when you were ten, but it doesn't really hold up like the DCAU does. (or X-men: TAS)

Robin in Teen Titans is Dick Grayson.

That explains a lot, actually. I always wondered how on Earth the writers were that terrible, making Spider-man the wimpiest super-hero in existence. (and how common thugs had laser guns)

Yeah, but I think it was sort of implied in the kissing scene with Fox that indulging in such things was "good." I think I'dve been fine with all of it if only they hadn't tried to have a type of moral message. (or maybe anti-moral?)

I thought it was fine until the very end. It was like "wait, THAT was the entire point of the movie?!?" I have problems with the idea of the story's "message" being that wholesale slaughter, ridiculous amounts of f-bombs, and random sex are the ultimate things to accomplish in life. EDIT: Says the guy with the Deadpool avatar. Heh..... *switches avatar back to Captain America*

Hopefully they can make the story compelling at least. (but judging from the way that they still have the Super/Bat Robot, I reeeeaaallly doubt it)

Hmm. I'm not a fan of McGuinness's art, but it was tolerable in Superman/Batman. This looks like a perfect animated adaptation of it, which is I guess a double-edged sword.

:laugh: !!!! OH, SWEET JOY!!

Yes. Exactly.

Yep. They really focused on some extremely fun action sequences, which was great. My favorite episode had to be the one where all of Gotham is in fiery ruins and all the citizens (including Robin and Batgirl) have been turned into zombies.

I actually really loved the movie. It was bloody and brutal as all get-out, and actually genuinely creepy at times. (BTW, I disagree about Robin; I thought his introduction elevated the show by several steps)

I actually enjoy the series quite a bit. Certain episodes like "Rookies" and "Cloak of Darkness" really shined. ("Rookies" even had the clones saying "hell." ) If you don't like the series, then don't watch it. But honestly, the show is more like the Original Trilogy than the Prequel films are. It's got some WILDLY varying writing quality, but the animation is stunning for a TV series, and it's got some genuinely good stories at times. I actually don't even mind Ahsoka anymore; she's gotten less and less annoying as the series has gone on. I'm looking forward to Season 2. I've got a Star Wars-dedicated blog up and running with reviews of all the Clone Wars episodes: http://starsaga.blogspot.com/ EDIT: However, I HATED AND STILL HATE the movie with a FIERY PASSION. (and not the hot kind. Just the vengeful kind.)

I am perplexed. But hey, at least now they've got all the feedback from Season 1. Maybe they can make it good now. :/ I'd actually be happy if Buffy just showed up and staked Topher, DeWitt, and Ballard through the chest. And had Angel bite them so they'd turn into vamps, then stake them again. And burn the ashes.

I play my consoles when I have good games to play that haven't gone stale on me. Which isn't all that often. Also, my seventeen-year-old TV can't show the HD-reliant 360 games, so I can't play the games that are text-heavy or need a great degree of detail.

I just read it at Barnes & Noble.

Yeah, it would have been cool. (but then you'd have Robin making contact with aliens even before Superman showed up in Metropolis, which kind of doesn't gel).

Oh no, I've committed a TERRIBLE CRIME!! I must repent!! O_O

I have a query, though. Mike and James, you guys seem to be of nearly the same mind about most of the DCAU episodes, examining them in a very "technical" or "real-world" sense, placing importance on the literal details above all else. Now, this may just be my personal opinion, but I don't hold a lot of the technical information in as high regard for superhero stories, as they're pretty outlandish as it is. The little details are important, but plot-related information is more important to me. For instance, in "Perchance to Dream," you guys seemed to put a lot of importance on the plot hole of the Mad Hatter not taking off Batman's mask or giving him an IV or something to keep him alive, but I never thought that those details were important, as the real point of the episode was to examine Bruce Wayne's psyche. Kevin Conroy himself has said that that's one of his favorite episodes, and it's one of mine too; I think it's amazing. (However, on the technical points, Hatter has been shown to give greater importance to disguises and personas than real identities, so maybe he didn't care who Batman really was? He is insane, after all. And he also doesn't exactly care for the physical well-being of his mind-controlled targets, as long as they "think" they're okay. Once again, HE IS INSANE.) Do you think that maybe it might be a good idea to get a third host on the 'cast who could examine the superhero films more from a general, overall story-based sense, rather than just from the nitpicky details? (FYI, I am NOT volunteering)

Yes. I concur.

That actually looks really, really cool. I'm surprised.
