Cliff Hanger Posted August 19, 2016 Author Share Posted August 19, 2016 The JLU episode or the Assault on Arkham OVA? I still need to see the latter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Unholy Dragon Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 8 hours ago, Eivion said: Green Lantern was good, but short lived and not on the level as say YJ which lasted about as long and took way less time to get going. GL got 26 episodes vs YJ's 46 and had two complete season style arcs in that time, with forward momentum in each arc yet always being self contained. If anything it moved way faster than YJ. I think YJ was the superior show for a few reasons but if anything it's the slower pace and penchant for character episodes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Green Lantern had a full length first season and shortened second. When I said get going I was talking less the speed of the plot and more level of interest.

The Unholy Dragon Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Still hoping for a DVD/BR release one day. That show was super underrated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never really saw much of Exo Squad as a kid so I can't remember it well. My older brother on the other hand absolutely loves it and is in the same boat as you. We both loved Megas XLR.

TheVileOne Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Exo-Squad had really high quality writing. Unfortunately, the animation doesn't hold up all that well. It was really like the heir apparent to Robotech, but since it was made directly for western audiences, it didn't have the hang-ups of being a re-versioned Japanese anime. At the time though, I was still pretty pissed it had that epilogue/cliffhanger that never got resolved. Especially when the story got to a perfect endpoint for almost all the characters.

Cliff Hanger Posted September 3, 2016 Author Share Posted September 3, 2016 Nolan North and Jason Marsden were both hyping up the Bring Back YJ thing today at Dragon Con, and Peter David allegedly told people a couple weeks ago at a con that he had been asked about pitching an ep. I will believe it when there's a press release..but creators talking it up gives me a fragment of hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVileOne Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Samurai Jack is actually continuing after we had to wait 20 years so I would say anything's possible at this point. Now if they could just adapt the current Darkwing Duck comics into a new animated series, I'd really appreciate it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eivion Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Any idea when Jack is supposed to start up again? I think someone died down the Peter David comment and said it was a misquote so I wouldn't expect anything from Young Justice. Honestly out of the Weisman shows that ended too soon I would still prefer a Gargoyles return over both YJ & Spectacular Spider-man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVileOne Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 It's supposed to be 2016 and it will be on Toonami/Adult Swim. I'm glad the movie didn't happen. It would've been too risky. On Toonami, they can pretty much do whatever they want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ligerbusa Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 I saw Return of the Caped Crusaders last night, it was a lot of fun. Some spoilers and easter eggs Spoiler In my favorite bit, Batman gets knocked loopy and sees three Catwomen, Julie Newmar, Lee Meriwether and Eartha Kitt. Catwoman tries to turn Batman evil, it doesn't work at first but he begins to change and uses a duplication ray to create multiple Batmen that take over Gotham. It starts with him getting mean, firing Alfred and beating the villains with brass knuckles while saying, "You wanna get nuts? Let's get nuts!". I was hoping his appearance would change into Frank Miller's Batman. The Batusi is well represented. A bunch of secondary villains appear like King Tut and Egghead. Catwoman: I'll turn myself in on one condition. You run away with me to Europe, we drink tea at a cafe and live happily ever after. Robin: Holy unsatisfying ending, Batman! Yeah, they took a shot at The Dark Knight Rises. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(BP) Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 WB has already announced a follow-up to Return of the Caped Crusaders based on the unproduced Two-Face episode written by Harlan Ellison (and originally slated to star Clint Eastwood!) William Shatner is playing Harvey. http://www.slashfilm.com/batman-return-of-the-caped-crusaders-sequel/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Campbell Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 I'm mad late to the party, but I finally watched "The Killing Joke." I actually liked the Batgirl/Paris Franz story, with him being in her head and making her doubt herself. They just did a really half-assed job at trying to connect it to the main story. But, by their own admission, their only goal was to lengthen the film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Unholy Dragon Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 It just didn't really add anything. And honestly, I feel like the Paris stuff is the least of the objectionable content in that stretch and more Batgirl whining "It was just sex okay? It doesn't have to mean anything!" and pretending she isn't hurt like a teen drama. Bruce Timm working his ships into an actual film is just weird. Especially because the age difference/power dynamic between them is fucked. It's like if you picked up your son's girlfriend who you're also coaching in kickboxing. Just sleazy. Also I firmly believe the creepy gargoyle watching them fuck is a placeholder for Bruce Timm himself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally agree, that's why I specifically said it was the Batgirl/Paris story that I actually enjoyed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Unholy Dragon Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 I guess my problem is that I can't detach the two. It feels like Babs is drawn to Paris because "At least he pays attention to her." Or something equally stupid/awful. His infatuation is clearly meant to reflect/contrast her own and it just comes off ugly. Would have much preferred a double feature with a straight adaptation of Killing Joke followed by an adaptation of Ostrander/Yale's Oracle: Year One.
