That just looks like some kind of variant costumes, honestly. They had stealth mode costumes before even.

Teen Titans Go is fantastic and about 100 times better than Young Justice or the original Teen Titans.

I could never get into the original TT and Young Justice thought took itself way too seriously for a show about teen heroes, but I've liked everything I've seen from TTG.

I still can't believe DC's going to try and launch their own streaming service for basically... just Young Justice, unless they're gonna rip the CW shows off of Netflix and put them there too. I certainly haven't seen any announcements for other shows coming to this yet to be launched service, at least. I know there is a very vocal YJ fanbase but I think it's gonna be interesting to see how many people pay up vs how many just pirate it.


Also I haven't been keeping up with anything about the next season of YJ but if they don't have an actual name and Batman's still calling them "The Team" or something I will flip my poo poo be unnecessarily mad.

Young Justice and live action Teen Titans. Plus they said it'll include more than just video content, so maybe (hopefully) a Marvel Unlimited style comic book library?

First out of the gate will actually be Batman: Gotham by Gaslight, an adaptation of the popular 1989 tale that introduced us to a Victorian Era Dark Knight who was in pursuit of Jack the Ripper. Written by Brian Augustyn and drawn by Mike Mignola of Hellboy fame, BATMAN: GOTHAM BY GASLIGHT is largely considered to be the very first “Elseworlds” tale. At 48 pages, the original comic is relatively slim, meaning the movie version will offer an expanded version of the story, something that’s sure to delight fans of its cobblestone-paved world.

That will be followed in the spring by Suicide Squad: Hell to Pay, the first Suicide Squad movie set within the DC Universe Original Movies’ shared continuity. (Batman: Assault on Arkham, the 2014 movie that also featured the Suicide Squad was set within the Arkham video game continuity.) Hell to Pay will feature an original story and what’s promised to be an amazing, though sadly not-yet-revealed, voice cast.

Rounding out the 2018 releases will be Death of Superman, the first part of the two-parter. Adapting the legendary story of Superman’s fatal battle with Doomsday, this will actually be the second DC Universe Original Movie to adapt the material. The first, 2007’s Superman: Doomsday, was the very first DC Universe Original Movie and greatly condensed and altered the original comic book event to fit within its 75-minute running time. The upcoming adaptation will be more faithful to the source material, much less condensed and will include many of the fan-favorite moments from the story that were left out of Doomsday.

Finally, in early 2019, look for Reign of the Supermen, the second part of the two-part adaptation. While we’ll have to wait for an official synopsis to learn all of the details, that name should be a familiar one to Superman fans and suggests we’ll be seeing the rise of the Superman alternates that took his place during the year after his death. (For those unfamiliar with the story, they were Steel, Cyborg Superman, Superboy and the Last Son of Krypton.) This part of the Death and Return of Superman was greatly simplified in Doomsday, which instead featured a single alternate Superman rather than the four we saw in the comics.

Yeah...

Because it worked so well the last time they expanded on a much beloved Batman graphic novel. Also calling it now they gently caress up the art as bad as The Killing Joke too.

Hopefully it goes better than last time, I liked Gotham by Gaslight a lot, but I also thought it felt really rushed, even at 48 pages, a good expansion would be great. Emphasis on good expansion.

I just think it's time we as a people agreed that Bruce Timm needs a balancing force like Paul Dini, Alan Burnett, and Dwayne McDuffie to create good fiction, and that more than likely, crediting him as the guiding hand and chief creative influence of the DCAU was probably a bit much.

Yes, the article quoted even says that. But this time it's a two part "faithful" adaptation instead of the weird half measure story they did in that first movie. I expect it will suck but I hope not since the actual story as it is on the page is good stuff.

Honestly, this rarely happens with Timm. It's mostly been Dini who people imagined as this architect of the DCAU, intricately plotting everything out despite the fact that he has almost nothing to do with a great deal of it. I think most people who recognize that Timm had a greater influence than Dini also realize all the other people who mattered along the way and often mattered more than Dini and TImm.

But it's one thing to say that the DCAU is a collaborative effort and where you get to at the end of your post. Timm is inarguably the guiding hand and chief creative influence of the DCAU. That doesn't mean there wasn't collaboration, but he's the connective tissue of almost every DCAU series. But beyond that, you have to understand that the design work that Timm brought was absolutely revolutionary. Drawing Batman with his big jaw and tiny waist was something novel when you looked at stuff like GI Joe or He-Man with its stiff and relatively realistically drawn people. As much as its propped up as being dark and gritty, the biggest revolutionary act that sparks from Timm is that action cartoons can be better action when you embrace that they're cartoons. By creating more rubbery and exaggerated characters, he was able to make a more dynamic superhero cartoon.

And yes, Mr. Freeze is Mignolia's design and almost none of the Justice League designs are his, but you don't get those designs without that initial spark that comes from Timm. I'd argue you also don't get Samurai Jack, Gargoyles, Spectacular Spider-Man, The Incredibles, or literally the last twenty five years of action and adventure in animation without Timm.

Timm can both me the chief creative force behind the DCAU, only one of many key players in the DCAU, a pervert, wrong about the notion that Batman should date Batgirl, and phoning it in with his current WBA work. All of these things can be true.

so all of the Origins shorts for Marvel's Spider-man got leaked or something.

The first five are pretty light hearted, Peter discovering his powers, deciding to wrestle (the wrestler is Bonesaw, like in the Raimi movies), and then the sixth one...

Peter talks about the trophy he won, points out it's made of "three different kinds of metal"

"You know what else is made of three different types of metal?"



so uh, this show'll probably be a bit more grown up than Ultimate Spider-man
