  1. One scene in BvS Preview2 is my new favorite. Made me come up out of my chair. Yeah!!! About f'n time!!! :o:applause::applause:

     

    FINALLY, finally, Batman is seen moving with the speed and grace of Batman Animated. FAST, nimble, there and gone!

     

    Don't know how to edit clips so I did screen-grabs. The scene doesn't even last a second. Batman lands, twists, batarangs and GONE, just as the corner explodes. Decades of waiting, and there it was. Finally. :cloud9:

  2. Yeah, it's also located on one of the seasons of the animated 90's Superman Adventures series as a two-parter. I think season two or three has a cool follow-up episode where Superman plays "Batman" (after Bats disappears) and easily defeats most of his rogue gallery. It was called "Nightfall".
    Small correction - The episode where Superman wears the batsuit is "Knight Time". (One of my all-time favorites. :grin:)
  3. On the flip side, I've never had any affection for any Marvel animated project minus Big Hero 6 which is the loosest of loose being Marvel related.
    I was surprised by how much I enjoyed Wolverine and the X-Men series. It had plot-continuity from E1 right through the final episode. Binge-watching probably helped the story line gel. Might give that one a shot.

     

    And Planet Hulk was enjoyable as a 'Heavy Metal' space fantasy. Just don't expect him to revert to Bruce Banner. For some odd reason the left that element of the Hulk-mythos out. I kept waiting...and...never happened.

  4. Even though there have been a few DC Animated hit or misses I will say one thing the DC Animated Universe is the best version of DC ever!

    It should be the blue print for their comic book line to follow to make good comics

    100% agree. (thumbs u

     

    Having been a lifelong DC fan I truly feel that when Batman the Animated Series began, quickly followed by Superman Animated, it provided a 2nd chance to become a diehard DC fan all over again.

     

    And to this day, without a doubt, THE best Universe when it comes to DC and quality enjoyment. :cloud9:

  5. I was really enjoying these, but they really hasn't been too many homeruns since Batman: Assault on Arkham. Even the solid ones are somewhat forgettable, as soon as you're done watching them.

    Maybe the brand is fading.

    People start threads on individual movies, but no one really reviews them in the end :shrug:

    I agree something seems to be missing from the recent ones as late.

    Is that because Bruce Timm and Paul Dini don`t have the same control?

    I gave a heads-up on Batman: Bad Blood and later my thoughts (DC is heavily invested in Damien).

     

    What I personally think is missing is "scope". Which is hard to pull off (and Bruce Timm was excellent at). Giving the viewer a quick sense of epic-context, what came before with the grandness of what comes next. An embedded sense of the DCU entire.

     

    Without that, these last few are stand-alone single-issue-type tales imho. Some good, some not so good, just not 'great'.

  6. Nice photo share. (thumbs u One thought looking through them: Bat-characters are looking more and more like Iron Man. Armor galore.

     

    What character is this one? ???

    At first I thought Nightwing with the batons. But the mask and hair don't look right. (shrug)

    Whoever it is they should sell that Base separately. Perfect for Superman. hm:)

  7. I posted your two Photoshopped images on the sculptor's Facebook page and he loved them. (thumbs u
    How cool. Thanks. :)

     

    His eye for anatomy, proportion and detail is amazing. Absolutely nailed the Alex Ross interpretation of Superman.

  8. Oh man! I missed that.

     

    When they were laying on the bed together, and her boyfriend came in and jumped on the bed, I thought it was because she was his sister that he didn't really get concerned.

     

    doh!

    Yeah, it would be easy to misinterpret. You can see the dynamic when the boyfriend/best friend calls Quentin to come help with her moodiness.

     

    Quentin is long-suffering and it helps explain why he had self-admitted to a nuthouse. Julia's his lifelong anchor, and without her he's completely adrift.

  9. I'll jump back in now and see how 5 comes across.
    I thought it took about 5 or 6 episodes to get rolling.

     

    Ultimately its central-plot is about the crew of the Rocinante. Which they don't even get until episode 5 or so. (Don Quixote's horse)

     

     

     

  10. I am just about finished with season 1 of Dark Matter so I will give it a shot, is it only on Syfy? Netflix or Amazon dont seem to have it.
    Yep, it's Syfy-only. Hulu and syfy.com have full episodes, but you have to log "your cable provider" to view.

     

    Seems like when other premium-content providers are decoupling from cable (with 'HBO Now' and similar apps) Comcast/Syfy is doubling down.

     

    If they screw up by throttling viewership here's hoping Netflix picks it up and runs with it. :wishluck:The Expanse deserves to be seen, with multiple seasons to tell the tale.
