A lot of the recent DC animated features aren't really for kids. Shows like Young Justice or Justice League Action are though.

Everyone arguing about the point and substance of Looney Toons/Merry Melodies needs to watch this, first.

In fact, just watch all of his videos.

It's also funny how more pointlessly brutal the movie is. Like, and I was just reminded of this because Thawne references it in a recent Flash issue, the ending is changed from Batman saving Barry by stabbing Reverse Flash in the back with a sword, to shooting him through the back of the skull and you can see Batman with the smoking gun through Thawne's brains.

Watching Gods and Monsters and Flashpoint Paradox in the same night made me realize that every alternate universe/timeline story in DC comics is really similar.

Yup, it's always Superman, Batman and/or Wonder Woman are assholes and so the world is a horrible shithole dystopia.

The sad thing for me was when the heroes in the regular timeline started acting like jerks, so the distinction between alternate and regular became pretty razor thin.

Hernan is at worst a well-intentioned extremist, Kirk is a tragic monster while Bekka is closer to Big Barda's characterization than an outright jerk. And is a stretch to call their setting a dystopia.

Anyways, the next animated film has been revealed. Is an adaptation of Gotham By Gaslight.

Don't forget killing off as many interesting minor heroes as possible because there's no consequences to it.

At least it's different from the Marvel alternate world theory of always killing Spider-Man.

Gavok is the expert on this poo poo, but at least half of the What If comics involve Spider-Man dieing, and the ones where he doesn't die he becomes a cold blooded assassin.

Are they seriously gonna keep that poo poo from the other cartoon where Amadeus Cho is wearing the Iron Spider suit for no apparent reason?

I'm pretty sure that's not for the new series, that's for their un-subtitled action figure line. I bought my little cousin "Kid Arachnid" months ago, and the line is just "Spider-Man", not "Ultimate" or whatever.

Basically, these are old, and are meant to be generic as gently caress to sell with whatever series.

Yeah, those designs aren't for the show.

...yet Gwen, Anya and Miles are in the show also
http://www.cbr.com/spider-man-anima...BR-TW&view=list

Patton Oswalt is Uncle Ben and John DiMaggio is, as TFR guessed, The Jackal. Looks slightly wacky in its highschool setting: Horizon Labs is now a highschool for geniuses and Osborn has his own (probably evil) competing highschool.

So let me get this straight, there are going to be multiple spider-people running around, AND they're leading with the Jackal, so there's even going to be even multiple Peter Parkers running around. What next? Are they going to barrel right into Venom and Carnage just to make things the most confusing they can be?

The style looks neat, but it feels like the background is really empty, which might be because they're using a bunch of weird angles.

I'll be honest, i'm super down for Ultimate Spider-man Season 4 Redux. Gimme a team of teenagers with spider-attitude but slightly more grounded.

Hell, with Jackal in the mix, we got a pretty good change at Kaine yet again.

There was deffo a clone shuffle, but Scarlet Spider had Kaine's design, stingers, natural web-fluid, "horrible scars" issue (just one tiny pink scar), attitude and characterization. He was Kaine in all but name.
