SUCK ON THIS GEORGE MILLER by Pipple	Nov 28th, 2007 03:32:52 AM
AND FIRST
I'll pick it up by Datascream	Nov 28th, 2007 04:18:42 AM
I'm loving these animated films coming out from Marvel and DC. Great new ways to making some interesting stories without the huge budgets. The only problem is that all of them are usually too short.
Amazing cast. by Cotsos	Nov 28th, 2007 04:37:26 AM
Boreanaz as Green Lantern, Neil Patrick Harris as Flash. Imagine a live action TV Series with these two...
fkd up looking manhunteR.. by couP	Nov 28th, 2007 04:42:29 AM
and is that luthor in the 5th pic o_O but that is quite the cast. boreanz should make a good hal jordan.
Looks fantastic by Jor-El23	Nov 28th, 2007 05:12:46 AM
5.1! Widescreen! Tons of special features! The only complaint I have is the runtime. If kids can watch a goddamn 2 1/2+ hour Harry Potter movie they can a 90 minute New Frontier
couP by The_Samaritan	Nov 28th, 2007 05:16:17 AM
I believe that's J'onn in his pure Martian form, and that's probably Captain Cold, not Luthor.
Pretty my hole by BitterAnimator	Nov 28th, 2007 05:18:39 AM
I guess cartoons don't need line quality to impress any more. Or, you know, decent drawings. That first one is hideous in so many ways. Whole thing just looks like a plain ol' 'cheap shit farmed to the far east saturday morning producer-driven soulless cack' cartoon. You guys will probably lap it up though. The Batman one's not offensively hideous though, which I guess is a plus.
I think it looks pretty good. by rbatty024	Nov 28th, 2007 06:49:59 AM
I like the designs, they're different enough from Dini/Timm's universe that it's not distracting, unlike Superman Doomsday. They have a nice retro feel to them. Of course, I have to see these characters in action as well.
Wonderwoman is a Kiwi! by IAmMrMonkey!	Nov 28th, 2007 06:57:59 AM
Who knew?
J’onn looks like he came from South Park by palewook	Nov 28th, 2007 07:04:04 AM

looks like the dini-verse to me... by fat bears	Nov 28th, 2007 07:14:57 AM
I don't see a substantial enough change here in visual style to not assume this came from Paul Dini and Bruce Timm, especially when I compare it to the actual art from the comic. So that's annoying and seems like a bad sign. And after the turrible "Superman Doomsday" movie I have much less goodwill in reserve for these DVD movies.
I might give this a try by choomoo89	Nov 28th, 2007 07:21:47 AM
After all Superman wasnt Bad could have been better but im not complaining. Im glad DC has jumped on the band wagon. Ill be getting the two disc with bonus Three episodes form the series and the perview for Batman Gotham Night thats worth the price alone there.
oh, to clarify by fat bears	Nov 28th, 2007 07:21:55 AM
When I heard about this project I was interested in seeing the artwork brought to life. The story is a good one, but what sold me on it was the throw-back images. Thus, seeing it looking like just another piece in the Dini-verse is a dissapointment.
It does have the feel of Batman TAS by Jor-El23	Nov 28th, 2007 07:22:11 AM
since that had an art deco feel to it in the first place. I still think the animation looks fantastic and whoever says it's hideous is an idiot.
by fat bears	Nov 28th, 2007 07:26:36 AM
whether its hideous or not it still isn't Darwyn Cook's The New Frontier.
yay! by ironic_name	Nov 28th, 2007 07:38:51 AM

This looks amazing by phool2056	Nov 28th, 2007 07:48:33 AM
People complaining about the look- go read the comic again. With some minor correction to nake it work in a mobile way, these look exactly like the comic. That's Captain Cold, by the way, in the villain picture. He's a lame villain, but he does have his bit in the comic, so it's only fitting that he should be here as well. Again, I'm staggered by the level of automatic naysaying that goes on in these talkbacks. I imagine an army of angry nerds whose only pleasure is to do their level best to prevent anyone from enjoying anything ever. Obviously I'm the worst kind of geek, I hide in my room all the time except for weekly forays to the comic book store and my local DVD supplier, but at least I actually enjoy most of what I pick up.
BitterAnimator by ironic_name	Nov 28th, 2007 07:51:00 AM
show us your pathetic attempts at scribbling, so that we can pass judgment.
looks truly great! by ironic_name	Nov 28th, 2007 07:56:16 AM
cannot wait, comeonayeahhaw!
Finally! Some Justice League news... by Abin Sur	Nov 28th, 2007 08:15:15 AM
Even if it is about a cartoon, I'll take it. It does look very cool, AND it's coming out in high definition. Captain Cold looks kinda like a cult member, but other than that, I've got no problems.
It's a sad day when David Boreanez gets top billing in an "all s by Err	Nov 28th, 2007 08:37:43 AM
ugh...I hate shillers.
Should say "all star cast" at the end... by Err	Nov 28th, 2007 08:38:43 AM

hey now! by blackthought	Nov 28th, 2007 09:01:02 AM
captain cold is cool...and come on, this has an animated hal jordan in it, how can you not be excited?
So the villain is the Weather Wizard? by Err	Nov 28th, 2007 09:04:14 AM
Is that who that is?
No, Weather Wizard just makes an appearance. by phool2056	Nov 28th, 2007 10:17:16 AM
The main villain is big and weird and wonderful. At least, if it is similar to the comic book.
No mention of Brooke Shields as Carole Ferris? by Uncapie	Nov 28th, 2007 10:23:15 AM
Though I'd rather see her as "The Mayor."
Captain Cold? by Aquatarkusman	Nov 28th, 2007 10:31:17 AM
He was in the 70s Legion of Doom, right? With a fur-lined parkas? I'm glad to see he's got his own female posse now. BTW, Agent Cooper as Superman? Has he done this before? Having just watched the whole of Twin Peaks, I don't know whether his voice has the resonance necessary.
This will kick you in the nuts by toshiro-solo	Nov 28th, 2007 10:59:06 AM
Source material is just so damn good, and this adaptation should be a natural fit (although they're going to have to trim a lot).
Great work Bullock! by plocock	Nov 28th, 2007 11:27:53 AM
Fuck that looks great! Beats the ass of that Clone Wars shit...wink wink.
No Dana Delaney as Lois = No Sale by Osmosis Jones	Nov 28th, 2007 11:51:06 AM
SEXIEST CARTOON LEGS EVER.
...again the toon will be better than the movie by JeffManSixtyFo	Nov 28th, 2007 01:48:38 PM
Remember the 90's where Batman cartoons told better stories than Tim Burton or Joel Schumacher???

World premiere at WonderCon in Feb by Zardoz	Nov 28th, 2007 02:12:34 PM
Yep, SF gets it first. I can't wait! Please be good...
ironic_name by BitterAnimator	Nov 28th, 2007 02:52:14 PM
My pathetic scribbles are beyond your comprehension. If you're looking for a benchmark though, think Jessica Rabbit's minge shot.
This must be the most excited I've ever been.. by Reel American Hero	Nov 28th, 2007 03:44:05 PM
..about a direct to dvd movie. This will be awesome. And the bonus features....sweet. I missed the Suicide Squad episode of JLU, that ep alone will be worth the price of the dvd.
Kyra Sedgwick SUCKS. by ZeroCorpse	Nov 28th, 2007 05:10:41 PM
I'm so sick of her being pushed onto the public with the disclaimer that she's "such a good actress" every time they mention her in any credits. She SUCKS on "The Closer" and she's annoying in everything else. Frankly, I think Anne Heche did an OK job as Lois in Doomsday... she at least had the Lois attitude down. Kyra Sedgwick, though? Bleh.
I for one enjoyed Superman: Doomsday. by rbatty024	Nov 28th, 2007 05:37:56 PM
I rented it with the expectation to hate it but I ended up enjoying it. There were enough twists in the story to keep me interested and it was pretty damn violent for a direct to DVD. I had to look at the Netflix sleeve after Doomsday started breaking necks because I thought there's no way this is PG, and sure enough they went for a PG-13 rating. I felt there were some well thought out moments in the cartoon, like when Lois visits Ma Kent. All and all a solid effort.
Kyle MacLachlan and Miguel Ferrer..... by Big Dan	Nov 28th, 2007 08:02:14 PM
it's a Twin Peaks reunion. Awesome
You're Right, Big Dan by Aquatarkusman	Nov 28th, 2007 08:38:26 PM
Now the Martian Manhunter just needs to become a verbally confrontational asshole. Maybe they can get the guy who played Deputy Andy to be Batman.
That would be great... by Big Dan	Nov 28th, 2007 08:41:56 PM
they just don't make 'em like Twin Peaks anymore.
Batman: Gotham Knights sounds interesting by Mr Incredible	Nov 28th, 2007 09:21:32 PM
I'd like to see the anime take on Batman. That shot of Captain Cold brought back bad memories of Superman Returns...don't know why.
Crystals behind a gay bald guy? by Mixiboi	Nov 28th, 2007 09:50:18 PM
Perhaps?
Samaritan, fair enough about non-luthor... by couP	Nov 28th, 2007 11:22:31 PM
i still think manhunter looks weird from the comics i've seen, but I haven't seen a huge variety.
BitterAnimator by ironic_name	Nov 29th, 2007 05:06:28 AM
i think you mean "beneath my comprehension"
I trust Bruce Timm by CuervoJones	Nov 29th, 2007 06:35:21 AM
He knows how to adapt comics.
I didn´t know Superman Doomsday was bad by CuervoJones	Nov 29th, 2007 06:41:05 AM
I liked it. I guess i know shit.
Its going to throw me off by BLWiseass	Nov 29th, 2007 09:46:51 AM
not having Kevin Conroy voice Batman
If it's not DCAU by tme2nsb	Nov 29th, 2007 11:22:41 AM
Then it can kiss my ass. Imitators is all they are to me.
Kevin Conroy should always be Batman by Alkeoholic77	Nov 29th, 2007 11:37:13 AM
Nuff said.
And by tme2nsb	Nov 29th, 2007 12:00:23 PM
Dana Delany needs to be the only Lois Lane too
Images? Yes. by ewokstew	Nov 29th, 2007 12:23:35 PM
Pretty? Not so much.
Someone finally saw that Lucy Lawless is Wonder Woman. by TheRealRatigan	Nov 29th, 2007 12:47:20 PM
...What took them so long?
I thought BATMAN anime was on Saturdays mornings on the WB alrea by JeffManSixtyFo	Nov 29th, 2007 01:44:40 PM

stunt casting by punto	Nov 29th, 2007 03:30:17 PM
doesn't work for voice actors. they might sound good on the press release, but they can't do voice acting. this'll suck
Why no NEWS on JL Casting YET??? by Demode	Nov 29th, 2007 09:17:11 PM
I thought they were suppose to tell us this week who the cast was!?!
Lucy Lawless... Ah yes, the perfect WW! by Judge Doom	Dec 1st, 2007 07:28:02 PM
She would be a perfect wonder woman in her Xena years. Well, at least we get her sexy voice as the amazon. :-)
