Is it wrong to sense a Post of the Day somewhere?

How could I dress up as Mr. Freeze?

Well I found a good TV:
Although I have had some troubles with it. And Best Buy's customer service on the phone isn't the best.

Time to buy a TV.
Me: Hello, I would like to buy a TV.
Best Buy person: What kind? We sell many here.
Me: I’d like one that is really big, but not that expensive.
Best Buy person: You mean like a television with a big screen, but low priced. That is a lot ask for because the bigger the TV the more expensive it is. There are also other things you want to be thinking about when buying a TV, like whether it will be a Hd one with crisp video and audio or not.
Me: Oh I want one really loud. Like really, really, loud
Best Buy person: Well our TVs don’t get too loud, but you can add on wired or Bluetooth speakers. Well Bluetooth ones may only work with Bluetooth compatible TVs.
Me: Okay so lets get this straight between each other, I want a TV, the biggest size, the TV must also be really loud, it most be Bluetooth compatible, cheap, and awesome HD video. I would also want it to use less power than most TVs so I can save electricity. What would make it even better would if the TV didn’t have to be plugged in, yeah, that would be great. Also I forgot to say it must the thinnest out of all flat screens. A built in VHS, CD, DVD, memory card slot, and Blu-Ray Disc player would be great too. What would make it even more awesome is if it had like a hard drive and a thing so it can scan for Wi-Fi and it would have some browser so I could go on the internet with the thing, yeah that would be cool. Even better, a TV made out of gold and diamond. Maybe it could also have like robotic arms that popped out that could like serve me food ad stuff. Or maybe also a pop out toilet so I don’t have to walk all the way over to the bathroom. Along with a pop out shower. Do you have any TVs that have all those things? And I would prefer that it be under $30.

I don't think so, initially. By the time I get there in my review series, I might change my mind. But right now, the JLU tie-in comic is better than The Batman Adventures issues I have reviewed to date.
To me (not "The") Batman Adventures is the best. I read the three JLU volumes though, and I really didn't like them. They were a little too kiddish sometimes, and a lot of not that great writing in general, for art, worst in all of the DCAU tie-ins.

The JLU tie-in comic was kind of crap though.

This Static is the one in JLU, and the reason why he has gray hair is because it is when he is 65 years old.
Whereas this Static is 55 years old:
In "Future Shock", they clearly state that its 40 years into the future, and since present day Static is 15 years old, 40 years later would mean he has to be 55. And in "The Once And Future Thing", I believe they say its 50 years into the future, and in that episode Static says something about him 65 yeas old.
So the ten years between where the two episodes of the DCAU take place, was time that gave Static gray hair.
Either this is all true or it was the fucked up timeline in "The Once And future Thing" that made him look so different.

Dude, that is so totally Cassandra. Annie actually had whites in her eyes, and her hair was brown. The girl in that pic has black hair (like Cassandra's) and she looks Asian (like Cassandra). Besides, it makes sense that it'd be Cassandra, because she's in that shot with the other Bat-children.
Well there eyes weren't supposed to be animated well. I heard all over the internet that she is supposed to be Annie, but I never thought about her being Batgirl, I may be wrong about all this.
-
In the middle is not Cassandra Cain, its Annie from Gotham Knights. It goes Tim Drake, Annie, Dick Grayson, and Barbara Gordon.

I just read Batman Unseen #1. Crap. Crap. Crap. Crap. Crap.
Another one of those not cannon things right?
-
Two Face doesn't really dress like Bat-Two-Face, Dick just imagines it, but Dent has the Bat Gloves on.

Aquaman: Sword of Atlantis, Vol. 1: Once and Future
-
Kevin Smith hardly makes up a substantial amount of the industry given that he's only finished like three of the story arcs he's ever started. I'll second Smith but say his Daredevil run.
Would about Cacophony? I have never read that, is it good?
-
Brian K. Vaughan, only work by him I have liked is Batman: False Faces.
Frank Miller. I sort of half hate this guy. I liked DKR and Year One, and kind of All Star Batman & Robin. But his pencilling for DKR sucked and The Dark Knight Strikes Again wasn't that great. Besides all that, I haven't read any other stuff he's made.
Ty Templeton. Liked his (Not The) Batman Adventures, but Batman Gotham Adventures and The Batman Adventures had some great issues, but there were still many terrible ones. I haven't read Justice League Adventures, but I am guessing its the same case as The Batman Adventures and Batman Gotham Adventures.
Adam Beechen. what he did on Justice League Unlimited and Titans Go! was crap. But his run on Robin was really good.

Here is the schedule for the coming weeks October 16, 8:30p (E/P): "When OMAC Attacks" October 23, 8:30p (E/P): "The Fate of Equinox" October 30, 8:30p (E/P): "Mayhem of the Music Meister" November 6, 8:30p (E/P): "Inside the Outsiders"
Wait, has "Mayhem of the Music Meister" even aired in America yet?

Dude, it's a cartoon. I don't think they have a biologist on hand to describe every nook and cranny of the human skeleton on hand.
Yet it actually looked like they spent some time getting the skeleton right otherwise, but yeah your right, its probably unnecessary to point out any problems with that tiny bit of animation.
-
But that reminds me: plot hole!
Why couldn't Superman use microscopic vision to see the nanoprobes in Darci's body?
Because the nanoprobes are placed in the nipples of the fake Daisy (which further explains why Toy Man is the way he is in the DCAU), and Toy Man knew Superman wouldn't look there when X-raying their bodies because he is a good boy scout. This also justifies Superman X-raying the the two girls. Its really simple. In the DCAU, when Superman uses his X-ray vision he is unable to see some parts of the body that he shouldn't be looking at because of the DCAU gods (censors), and Superman just wouldn't look at those parts anyway because he, like I said earlier, is too much of a boy scout.
BTW,
I don't know if people have already found problems with the skeletal animation, but I have a problem with their pelvises. I believe the sacrum is usually supposed to have five holes (or whatever their called in a skeleton) on both sides ( not sure if this is just women or men), but with Virgil and the two girls, they all have less.
-
Actually I bet if Superman said all those things about not wanting to X-ray the girls, and Daisy said he should, then every one would know that the Daisy that was saying that stuff back was the real Daisy, because the Darci looking like Daisy wouldn't want Superman to X-ray them because she probably doesn't know that Superman won't be able to find the difference between the two.

Superman/Batman Public Enemies is still my favorite DCU Original Animated Movie so far.
BTW, it would of have been cool if you commented on the Special Features for the second disc in the Two-Disc Special Edition.

On October 20, 2009, we will see the 4-disc DVD release of the Super Friends spin-off, The Plastic Man Comedy/Adventure Show. This will collect all 35 episodes of Plastic Man in The Plastic Man Comedy/Adventure Show.
What this won't have:
1. The 13 episodes of Baby Plas
2. The 13 episodes of Plastic Family
-
I can't find much info about this CD release, but iTunes gives a little info that says it has eight songs from just that episode.

About Lex Luthor pardoning Metallo and blaming it on Superman and that stuff, well you could say that it makes no sense to pardon that guy, but I think he was more trying to get the false message across that the kryptonite asteroid is making Superman turn bad, and that false message even sort of gets Batman to believe it, even though he knows its not the asteroid and Superman's fault Metallo is dead, he may believe along with many other people in the world that Superman can turn into a bad guy from kryptonite.
As for Batman not being able to be controlled by Grodd or mind read, well there are two ways Batman could not be able to be mind read or controlled: 1, Batman does what he does in episode 2 "Terror on Dinosaur Island!" of Batman: The Brave And The Bold where he uses his Tibetan training to block telepaths, or 2, his cowl is made out of material that protects his brain from telepaths and just gives them static like in The Batman and Justice League: The New Frontier.
To defend Superman's remark about how he has already died before, well you could say that people might know what he is talking about from watching the Justice League TV series episode "Hereafter". Afterall, I am sure there are many people watching this that are more DC Animation fans than DC Comics fans. Also, people nowadays still know about Superman's death from the media reenacting it in other comic book adaptations and because it still is that memorable and popular of a Superman story. If a twelve year old boy is watching this and not understanding it, well, he shouldn't be, this is a PG-13 movie, that person is gonna have to watch this after cake when its their birthday party.
I know you guys don't understand why all those super villains know that Superman and Batman are there, but I am going to defend it. So basically they were tipped off by Luthor and this was right after Lex Luthor's announcement about the bounty, so the super hero squad might not have the warrant for Superman's arrest by then. That is one sticky situation to defend though. and for Luthor having the bounty and the super hero squad go after Superman, well you could say that he thinks his super hero squad might not be enough to stop Superman so he also has the bounty.
