I don’t see any big swing taken by Apokolips War. I enjoyed it as a finale of sorts, it’s fun to see all of these characters together, but it was a snow globe movie conveniently meant to reset everything (again). Focusing on Constantine and giving Batman a heel turn was somewhat bold, but the writers were clearly…

Was that Batman Superman Apocalypse? It was better than Public Enemies, both the story and designs, but it’s not one of my favorites.

I also wish they’d have used Tim Sale’s artwork as an inspiration for Long Halloween’s aesthetic, like WB Animation used to do. The New 52 character designs weren’t my favorite, but it was a little more interesting than the bland 1970s comic book look they’ve used lately. It does, however, work better in the much…

As the article states:

That’s also one of DC’s problems - constantly adding new Green Lanterns. The endless options throughout the galaxy and one country on a single planet sports like 5 GLs?

Yeah, I give credit for Public Enemies adapting the artwork of the comic book, but it was ugly to start with.

I just re-watched Superman>Justice League>JLU and agree, it never gets old. Since Batman The Animated Series, the shows have always featured a spot on voice cast. The only one that never clicked for me was George Newbern’s Superman - he was always far too stiff compared to Tim Daly’s more human take.

It may sound like splitting hairs, but those two films were expanded stories based on their respective TV Shows.

I enjoyed Apokolips War but I don’t think it a top tier. It’s easy to kill everyone off when Flash can just reset the table, which already happened in a better “end of the world” movie. But I do give it credit for it’s portrayal of King Shark.

Mask of the Phantasm, Sub-Zero, and Return of the Joker are all considered part of the DCAU continuity (Batman: The Animated Series, Superman, Batman Beyond, Static, Justice League, Justice League Unlimited).

Definitely the best Batman-centric DC animated movie, and John DiMaggio’s Joker is super underrated.

Dark Knight Returns and Year One are neck and neck. I’d put Dark Knight Returns ahead for the way it adapted Frank Miller’s artwork - I didn’t feel like the simplicity of David Mazzuchelli’s artwork was translated all that well. Peter Weller was perfect as old Batman.

Superman vs the Elite is kind of a bizarre entry, and the animation is so wonky. I always thought Superman Unbound was really underrated, John Noble voiced a great Brainiac.

Exactly. The first 2 Star Wars movies are fantastic, fun space operas.

I actually completely skipped Season 3 and don’t feel like I missed a thing.

ah that makes more sense, I didn’t catch that. Recent episodes have picked up the pace, I guess I missed some expository dumps.

They really just workshopped the whole series during the break didn’t they?

Yes, but the producers are still mostly ignoring Supergirl and the Arrowverse continuity. Some of it has to do with with the pandemic, they’ve scrapped cross-overs so they played felt less beholden to connecting the tissue between the shows.

Supergirl featured both. Maxwell Lord was played by Facinelli; Morgan Edge by Adrian Pasdar (and the show still managed to feature Lex Luthor and Zod)

Morgan Edge went from being discount Lex Luthor to discount General Zod.
