Supergirl is going to hook up with Batman Bruce Timm, then? DCAU Kara shacked up with Brainiac towards the end of JLU. |

DCAU Kara shacked up with Brainiac towards the end of JLU. Technically that was Brainiac 5, who is a canon love interest of Supergirl in the comics. Although the episode didn't handle their "romance" particularly well. |

Yeah Brainy and Kara have been romantically linked a few times when she works with the Legion.
I'm surprised they never tried to hook them up in the TV show, but then I thought Brainy and Nia had better chemistry anyway.

Bumping the thread rather than making a new one since they put out a trailer for Watchmen a couple of weeks ago and I only just learned of it a day or two ago.
It does certainly look more accurate than Snyder but wow that art style is ugly as shit.

Id I had Doctor Manhattan's powers I would travel back in time to stop Alan Moore from ever writing Watchmen in the first place. The existence of this story has done more damage to the comic book industry from people who don't understand its story or its message then holofoil covers or company-wide crossovers ever did. I can see your point, but 1), I don't really think that's actually Watchmen's fault or detracts from it in any way, and 2), Dark Knight Returns is way more of an example of that dynamic of people wildly misunderstanding it for years on end and producing a wealth of shitty content supposedly taking influence from it. I would put the Killing Joke up there for people misunderstanding and taking the completely wrong lessons from as well. |

"We're so sorry about Bruce Timm, Bryan Azarello and The Killing Joke, please buy our product." Not until Bruce Timm publicly apologizes and disavows what he did, says it was wrong for him to even have thought of the crime against good taste he commited in that movie. |

I mean, it looks like it gets the work a hell of a lot more than Snyder did for sure, does certainly look accurate.
That said... Yeeesh the art doesn't get less ugly.

No DC movie (animated or live action) has made me angrier than the first 20-30 minutes of The Killing Joke and I don't think anything ever will. |

Killing Joke remains so utterly baffling. Okay, you want to add a prologue to expand the runtime and make Barbara less a passive participant and more an actual part of the story. Cool, I get it.
Why in the f*** would you not have an opening segment of her being instrumental in arresting Joker then, like taking him down where Batman failed? It much more organically sets up the main plot and makes Barbara look important and useful while also giving Bruce all the more reason to think he might not be able to beat Joker this time.

It's so bad I think it has a ripple effect and colors all his previous work with a squick factor that wasn't there till he decided to go mask off with his sexual interests that no one asked about.

With Killing Joke, even vocal direction was a bit off. Hamill himself feels compromised by the weird pacing of certain scenes, turning what should have been a fantastic monologue performance into something that feels flatter than it should have been:
It's especially disappointing given that there were amateur video makers with impersonators that did the scene more justice years ago:

So swinging over to the concluding part of the Crisis movies {Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}It's quite a bit of fanwank, establishing the Tomorrowverse was indeed the previous animated movie universe that Barry reset at the end of Apocalypse War. It's also revealed that this DC animated movie universe was the creation point of the entire multiverse. There's some plot thread revealing Constantine's true motif was to send Barry back into the past to kill Darksied as a child, with Barry failing and it ended up setting up the creation of the Anti-Monitor.
Lex betrays everyone to try and spare his world and determine a weakness in the Anti-Monitor. Supergirl dies trying to stop the Anti-Monitor but it's all for nothing as there an infinite number of them.
Here's the downer, every animated DC universe, the DCAU, the Superfriends, Teen Titans 2003, all of it, is destroyed. We see DCAU Batman one last time (voiced by Kevin Conroy) spending his last moments battling The Joker, and we finally get closure to John Stewart and Hawkgirl's love story from JLU as they kiss at the end of the world.
Everyone's last chance rests on a device that will merge all Earths into one and Wonder Woman's immortality is the key to it functioning. They pull it off just in time and a new universe is created. Diana is seen on her island as a child playing with her mother who reminds her nobody is immortal |

Even in more cohesive form the animation in this movie still looks like absolute garbage.
