In the beginning, I wasn't too interested in this project, but after seeing the trailer, I'm tempted to pick this movie up. I think the designs of Superman and Doomsday look pretty good.
As far as the whole "Shield on Cape" thing goes, I am disappointed that it won't be in this film. As...
I voted yes, but (as with most things) it depends on presentation and direction. I enjoyed the Aquaman cartoon from the 60s, and if the producers followed closely to that type of presentation, I think it could be good.
Favorite Bat Outfit (Animated) - Batman's "Year One" outfit from B:TAS flashbacks (even though it was only shown maybe two or three times, it's still my fav)
Favorite Bat Outfit (Comic Book) - This one is HARD. I like the "Year One" suit by David Mazzuchelli, but I love the way Alex Ross...
This was a good *** 1/2 episode, but I'm a little concerned about the introduction of "Carter Hall". The possibility that he's not who he thinks he is disturbs me a little, since I like Hawkman and I'd rather not see him get substandard treatment. I would've preferred a more Golden Age take on...
I just did a little search through my posts, and came across what I was looking for. It turns out I was a little confused, as the vow I was thinking of came from a later story featuring Joe Chill, probably the one Brainatra mentioned earlier.
"I swear I'll dedicate my life and my inheritance...
I believe the "finding Joe Chill" part was a later addition. I remember seeing it in "The Untold Legend of Batman", but I can't find my copy right now. I suppose it's also possible that the two-part vow was exclusive to the Earth-One Batman.
Ah, nothing like a discussion about Batman's history to bring me out of hibernation...
I, for one, hated the new rule that Batman couldn't be allowed to find Joe Chill because it would take away his motivation. This thinking seems to imply that Bruce is a shallow, "it's all about me" type...
I've never had that much interest in The Legion, but if it's good, I'll give it a shot. I just hope it's allowed to stand on its own two feet, and that the art isn't the same ol' thing.
While I know that things are somewhat different in the toon, in the comics (last time I checked), Metropolis is geographically a better representation of New York City, as it's composed of six boroughs while NYC has five. New Troy (home of the Daily Planet, Clark's apartment, the LexCorp...
This past Friday, I went down to Midtown Comics and picked up two action figure sets from DC Direct: The First Appearance Set (Wave 2) and the new JLA Set (Wave 1).
First Appearance (Wave 2)
I really, really, really like these figures. If I was 10 years old, I'd be on the floor...
"I swear I'll dedicate my life and inheritance to bringing your killer to justice...and to fighting all criminals! I swear it!"
-Oath taken from a Batman story from 1948
"I swear I'll dedicate my life and my inheritance to bringint your killer to justice--and to making war on all criminals...
I also remember this cartoon, and the episode in question...or at least, a little bit.:D
There was one scene, towards the beginning of the episode, where Superman was talking with Lois Lane when the silhouette of a woman landed on the balcony of what I guess was Lois' apartment. Superman...
The Batman looks at the hero in his mid-twenties, when he lives in a bachelor pad surrounded by hyper-modern Bat-gadgets and drives a souped-up Batmobile.
Bachelor pad, huh? I hope they're talking about the old Wayne Penthouse from the 70s, and not something totally out of left field.
First, I'm sorry for not responding sooner. My lousy computer has been giving me problems for weeks, and with all the installing and rebooting, I've totally forgotten about this stuff.
Second, I am still interested in doing this. I have a little story in my mind regarding Victor and his...
Clark Kent - Clark's Apartment (6:20 AM)
I remember when I was back in Smallville, how I used to get up early in the morning and go up to the roof of the house and sit there, waiting for the sun to rise. It was the dawning of a new day, full of promise, full of hope. And regardless of how the...
Oh man, thanks for reminding me! That was in Part 1, and it's also my favorite interrogation scene. Batman uses the police band to transmit a fake APB for the guy he's looking for, Raymond Bell. Bell is driving around when he hears it and tries to get out of Gotham. Batman tracks him down in the...
Superman - Gotham City (6:15 AM)
Flying at top speed, I finally arrive in Gotham...and I don't like what I see. The gas is almost over the entire city. It's moving much faster than I thought possible.
"Well, here I go."
I take a deep breath and dive into the mist, placing myself in what I...
I really enjoyed reading this book. It was great to see the JLA of my youth again in a situation that didn't involve punching someone's lights out.
Favorite moments:
Hal using his ring's AI to determine the origin of the virus
J'onn Vs. the fighter jets
Arthur Vs. the Russian submariners...
*** 1/2
I'm not really the long review type, so I'll just tackle some stuff that caught my attention.
Someone has finally decided to use Aquaman's real name (Arthur) on the air, but just like that, it was back to basics.
Shayera Hol: I pretty much knew this one, but the verification was nice...
**** 1/2
Not since The Savage Time, or maybe even as far back as In Blackest Night, has an episode of Justice League made me say "Holy (you know what)" the way this one did. I had heard about the Justice Lords, but I wasn't expecting anything like this, and what a surprise it was. President...
This is what I've been waiting for. One of my favorite parts of Spider-Man for PlayStation was the ability to go back and replay the game in different suits that Spidey has worn over the years (Symbiote, 2099, Ultimate, etc.). I'm glad that RoST will have this feature, and I hope it features...
Perhaps the "slightly older" comment was made to create a distinction between Bruce's age on the new program as opposed to what it would've been on "Batman Wired", such as 25 instead of 18. That sounds slightly older (but not by a whole lot) to me.
Anyway, I've got no problem with a new show...
In my head, the story revolves around the League helping out some town, when John bumps into Hal. You can tell by the way they act towards each other that there isn't a whole lot of love there. Flash is curious, so he does some digging and discovers that Hal used to be a Corps member back in the...
I saw the in-game footage from IGN, and I must say that my excitement level has really gone up. Anything that can evoke memories of the great "Streets of Rage" series AND make me laugh deserves my attention.
"You're really growing into this job, Robin!"
Did anybody else think about "Star Trek: The Motion Picture" when the J-7 was descending into Braniac's lair? I swear, it almost looked like that scene with the Enterprise entering Vger's inner core.
As for the whole thing, well, it was just incredible. Superman is back to his old self, and...
I'm pretty sure that if Darkseid saw a nuke coming his way, he'd just use the Omega Effect to teleport it to the location that it originated from, giving those people (Metropolitans, in this case) a serious problem.
Tell you what...
If Batman hasn't done a complete overhaul of his security systems after his dealings with HARDAC (Rhonda and Cyborg-Bats come to mind), then he deserves to lose control of his cave to the bad guys.
On the headstone of the Golden Age Bruce Wayne, his date of birth is listed as April 7th. To my knowledge, the current BW's DOB has never been mentioned, so I just use the original one.
Clark Kent - CK's Apartment (6:10 AM)
Last night was definately one for the books, and just a little embarrasing for me. I've been downed by villains before, but to fall to a guy like the Weather Wizard...ugh. I'll just brush my teeth and turn on the radio. That should get my mind off things...
I remember this series as well. Now, I can't be sure, but I think it might've been in continuity with the Super Power series that was around at the time.
I think "Justice League" would still come into existence, but it would occur gradually through Superman (as was originally intended, from what I hear). Of course, we'd be looking at a team lineup like this:
Superman
Batman
Aquaman
The Flash
Green Lantern (Kyle)
Wonder Woman
The...
I think the problem is, we're all trying to find things to do at 2 in the morning. :p
Seriously though, if we could only push this ahead to a more reasonable hour (say 7 or 8AM), then maybe things will pick up. I can probably do some more stuff with Lex, and I can finally access Clark Kent.
And yet, they had no problem playing a version of Batman's theme when he showed up on the program. I guess when Timm said this version of Superman suffered from "Middle Child Syndrome", he was just being kind.
It's pretty strange when you think about it. It was Batman disguised as Croc during that poker game, and yet everyone still gives Killer grief about it, even though he wasn't the one who said it. Poor Croc. :( :p
Maybe it's just me, but but Batman's colors look infinitely better on this cover than they do on Justice League. For a second, I thought it was the B:TAS design on the cover, leading me to think it was a story that took place in the past.
The funniest Batman episode that I've ever seen is the one with Charlie Collins. You've got this guy from Small Town, USA, who because of one bad move, gets caught in the middle of the Batman/Joker war.
"I can't believe I cussed out The Joker!" - Charlie :eek:
Batman:The Animated Series
Superman
The New Batman Adventures
I separated 1 and 3 because I consider them to be two different shows based on their themes and such.
