Absolutely. I guess the show deserves credit for attempting to tell long stories like the Phoenix saga, but it was incredibly crude and the voice acting and writing are poor at best.

I dunno. The trailer I've seen for the new Avengers show makes it look like it's aimed directly at 5 year olds. It just looks shoddy and silly, but I hope to be proven wrong.

Oh man, that Spidey series is TERRIBLE. Awful animation, fight scenes that make no sense, scenes that end almost randomly. I loved it when I was a kid but it is really, really bad.

I loved them both at the time, but looking back now I don't think it's even a contest. Batman still holds up incredibly well today, but I couldn't even get through the first episode of X-Men. I found the animation to be shoddy at best and the voice work to be cringe inducing. I wish I were still able to enjoy it, and…

The problem is, those shows aren't generally about watching someone plan and execute a complicated landscaping job. They're about fighting, personality conflicts, yelling, disagreements, yelling, and more yelling.

As George Carlin said, "not in my back yard."

That's just silly. I don't care if Hollywood makes a lot of crap (which is most certainly true). The fact that Hollywood produced a crappy adaptation of League of Extraordinary Gentlemen doesn't mean that all future adaptations should be judged before they happen.

Did I miss some sort of reference here? I can't imagine why you'd compare the two.

FX wants to make sure I know about their new show? Screw that!

I'd definitely say that it's the weakest of the JLU episodes. I have no real affection for Hawk & Dove, so maybe that hurts my enjoyment.

That's a fair point, @avclub-884c4beddd8c98bb3b016bdfcc1bcdf8:disqus .

Yeah, who ever tried to make that argument? I thought the common opinion was that JL is great, but JLU is perfect. Do people actually prefer JL to JLU?

I've watched all the DCAU series and read a bunch of DC comics and I actually didn't realize that Brainiac's Kryptonian origin was invented by this show.It just makes so much sense that I can't believe that wasn't always his origin.

Up until this week I had only seen a few scattered episodes of The Brave and the Bold. I just started watching it on Netflix and I really love it.

See, that's exactly what I loved about the show. The Greatest Story Never Told is one of my favorite episodes of anything ever. The only episode I can think of that I don't love is the Hawk and Dove episode. Other than that, I love episodes focusing on guys like B'Wana Beast, Booster Gold, Wildcat, Vigilante, and…

The Brothers Grimm was nearly unwatchable. I don't even recall the imagery you speak of because it was that bad.

@avclub-bf685d0c6e419fab93fb447f71610d36:disqus Yeah, that's fair. I guess I was bothered because his review was a so dramatic, especially the part where he yelled at the screen and tried to walk out, and how he was so angry he didn't even realize he had done it until after the fact.

I disagree. I know that Pa Kent is resistant to the idea of Clark using his powers, but he just seemed conflicted to me. He says that Clark has to decide what sort of man he has to be, and that Clark will change the world, implying that he thinks Clark will and should ultimately use his powers for good. But at the…

I get that Waid loves Superman, and his arguments are perfectly valid, but I completely disagree and I hate that because a former Superman writer said it, people are claiming it as gospel.

I'm fine with the fact that Man of Steel was so focused on the spectacle of two super beings fighting in an urban environment, but I think if they don't follow up on that it'll be a huge missed opportunity and hurt this movie in retrospect.
