Is it just me or are these movies not as good as they used to be.


I mean the Animation seems pretty cheap compared to their earlier efforts and they seem to get the bottom of the barrel of voice talent. I mean no Kevin Conroy, Bruce Greenwood, John DiMaggio, Tim Daly, Nathan Fillion. I think the last one i thought was great was Superman vs Elite. I didn't see the Dark Knight Returns so i cant judge that one. But i found Flashpoint, Son of Batman, and Justice League War to be pretty forgettable and bland. Overall i think they should stay with real DC Classics than trying to promote the lackluster the new 52 stuff. Give me a Kingdom Come, or Crisis on Infinite Earths movies. And make it longer than an hour and 20 minutes and get decent voice talent.

Completely agree with u..

actually i liked JL:WAR .... tht was pretty good..for a change superman didnt get pawned 80 % of the whole time from the bad guys..the new superman is more heartless , lol also bit of an arrogant dick...(just my opinion)

but there is one thing tht keeps bothering me...why cant warner bros make the animation of the batman, superman etc...exactly the same way as in the graphic novel/comics..... why is tht they have to change the animation style completely..??

I agree tht with some graphic novels like the dark knight returns and the dark knight returns:2 etc..u need to have better animation as following the graphiv novel animation style would be horrible..

do u feel atlst in future warner bros for example makes a superman vs parasite film (though i know it will never happen) ..they culd not only take a story from Superman in action comics:Vol 1: issue: 715 but also ..atlst make the animation style similar to this:

Are you retarded?

Since Bruce Timm left yes, they have gone down hill with the exception of The Dark Knight Returns.

I liked Assault on Arkham but I agree about the rest...average as grits.

Sorry Brother.

I like what they are doing, with the DC animation --not for kids anymore. Batman Returns 1& 2 was incredible... Peter Weller as the aging Batman was near perfect casting...
