https://variety.com/2020/tv/news/usagi-jojimbo-animated-series-james-wan-netflix-1234707176/ I like how every single headline for this announcement is misleading because when you read the article you realize this isn't an adaptation of the comics it's actually Stan Sakai finally getting to make his far future usagi yojimbo cartoon

Honestly Joker getting labeled as "criminally insane" works for me the same way it often worked in real life, as a reflection of a society not wanting to deal with the implications of a rational human being capable of such random and indiscriminate yet personal evil. Howard Unruh was America's first mass shooter, a guy who just walked around his neighborhood shooting anyone he came across with no real rhyme or reason until he ran out of bullets, walked back home, and waited for the cops to show up. He was very obviously legally culpable for his crimes, committing them because he wanted to instead of saying he was delusional or whatever, but ended up spending the rest of his life in a mental institution simply because the judge and jury could not imagine a world where someone perfectly sane would do that. Surely something was wrong with him.

Antifa Turkeesian posted:I just watched Batman: Assault on Arkham, and it’s bad in a drab, boring way. Is that what comics are like now? It’s at this weird kids’ level of sophistication but with gore and curse words, and bad jokes, like a kid would think is cool but that marks it as unsuitable for kids. It’s confusing to just have established comic characters showing up because it leaves the setting and the histories of the characters unclear. Is this the same setting as those other animated dc movies that were out around that time? Does the Flash exist here? Has Batman met Amanda Waller before? So a few things 1. I don't think an animated movie from 2014 is a good representation of "what comics are like now" which is in and of itself a pretty broad question. Yes there are comics like that but, I mean, it's definitely not a blanket statement on all of them 2. It predates David Ayers' Suicide Squad by two years. It was actually, for some reason, meant as a tie-in for the game Arkham Knight. So it's set in the Arkham game universe but also doesn't do a super great job of portraying that if you didn't know going in.

It's wild how poorly the 90's Spider-Man animated series aged compared to X-Men, which also kind of didn't age great but the highs are still pretty high and is at least funny when it's bad.

It's because Lobo was in Max Landis' Superman: American Alien and Man of Tomorrow is a loose adaptation of that book but uncredited since Landis has rightfully been unpersoned for being a sex pest

honestly while BTAS has the higher highs I think Brave and the Bold might actually be the most consistently good Batman series. There's a fair amount of TAS episodes that are just...not great, usually when they come up with their own villain because holy moley for how well they reinvented most of Batman's rogues gallery do the actual new villains in that show just suck out loud outside of Baby Doll.

Oh yeah I thought Harley went without saying. But then you've got stuff like the ninja (who the show kept saying was a samurai?), the Dickensian pickpocket training sewer children, the dude who was just invisible, the guy who turned Catwoman into a furry, and the roughly five thousand near identical generic mobster guys

Argue posted:What I loved most about that Halloween Scooby Doo film was that Scarecrow was in it--the actual Scarecrow, from Gotham City--but not Batman or anyone else Batman-related. I mean, it makes sense, why can't a Batman villain exist independently of Batman? I also liked his role in the middle as sort of a Hannibal type, talking to Velma about fear from inside his prison. The last time we see the villain, he's driving away when Scarecrow's shadow suddenly falls over his car. Later, we see the cops find the car abandoned by the side of the road. Considering the guy directly hosed with and insulted Scarecrow it's not hard to put together the implication.

The Injustice movie tries to do the entire comic series and first game in 90 minutes, omitting everything people like about either of those stories in favor of the most bare bones possible approach. Things are altered from the source material that make no sense - The Flash is a key character in the comics and the game and unceremoniously dies ten minutes into the movie, but none of the scenes he would be in are altered so his lines are given to other characters and no one ever mentions him again, Superman's fascism never goes further than him just randomly killing a bunch of Joker fan teens, there's no army or takeover of the UN to the point where regular-rear end cops are still running around in the climax of the move. The Harley and Green Arrow stuff remains but Harley's arc is entirely removed in favor of just dispensing really bad jokes the whole movie and Black Canary is removed entirely. Nothing anything liked about this storyline remains but it's here because hey the fans wanted it right?? Almost every character is miscast, especially Superman and Batman which is...bad when those two are the entire fulcrum of your movie. The animation and action scenes are flat and cheap. It's easily the worst looking animated movie DC has put out. Literally the only thing the movie nails is Plastic Man.

Dawgstar posted:It does feel like Weisman had somebody who helped him on shows like Gargoyles that's gone now. His Gary Kurtz if you will. I don't know if there's anyone who fits that role? Or who worked on Gargoyles that also worked on other shows Weisman did that are considered good like Spectacular Spider-Man. I think this was always a part of him - if you look at the plans he had for SSM it was this elaborate like five year plan with already detailed story arcs and character relationships and it just sounded like the show would become a slog of drama.

site posted:they've been doing a crossover comic for like two years which is actually completely unrelated to the movie for some reason? Like the comic imagines the Justice League as natives to the setting while in the movie it's a standard crossover. Feels like it'd just be easier to do an daptation.

The show is full of characters that are massive departures from their comic counterparts. I don't know that I'd expect Lex Luthor to tick all the standard boxes.

Of the previous Japanese DC productions: - Batman: Gotham Knight (2008, animated anthology film set in the Nolanverse) - Batman: Ninja (2018, CG movie) - Catwoman: Hunted (2022, animated movie kind of sort of set in the Young Justice universe?) all got English releases and dubs. The only thing that never did was a crossover movie with a very niche anime series that I can't remember the name of from a few years back. This show is going to get a US release for sure. Now, given that Batman Ninja infamously had a dub script made up from whole cloth because the writers never got a copy of the Japanese script in time for recording, the quality of that English release might vary.
