Codependent Poster posted:Stuff like that last sentence is why I have no interest in watching these movies. I don't really want to see stuff like that. Someone said it was like Ultimatum but for DC and seems like that includes all the gross death stuff too. Imagine the Blob eating Wasp. Now imagine it 10+ more times. That's what JLD 2 is. "Ultimatum but for DC" is 100% spot on to explain the gore in this movie. They ONLY did the gore just because the movie is the last in the series and they did a Flashpoint reset at the end anyway so nothing mattered. Skwirl posted:In a blink and you'll miss it cameo a Barbara Gordon Batgirl is dismembered by parademons. I'm just guessing it's Barbara, it's one of her costumes and she has red hair but no lines. Yeah, it's Barbara. Didn't they de-age her or something so she's like Starfire's age or Damian's or something like that?

The last time I saw Dick talk in these DC movies is when he was flirting with Starfire...I don't think I've ever seen Barbara outside of this movie. I don't think The Killing Joke is a part of it because Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill were in that. Actually, I don't think I've even seen the Joker appear in this universe....

With a handful of exceptions, the DTV movies in general have been pretty terrible, but the DTV Animated Universe that started with "Here's the animated New 52" flick just seems like it's genuinely on the bottom rung of superhero cartoons. Even worse than all these super bland Marvel shows that have been put out post EMH/Spectacular Spider-Man. Like, Avengers United They Stand levels of bad. I'll take breakdancing dreadlocks Joker or bizarrely sexy Magpie over over this poo poo any day

Can we give it back to Bruce Timm and more stuff like the perfectly fine if random JLA vs. The Fatal Five movie? Actually I would be super onboard for more Diane Guerrero playing Jessica Cruz.

Was Fatal Five written by Bruce Timm or just using his art style? Cause I thought Bruce had only done Batman & Harley Quinn recently.

She shows up for a scene in the Batman Hush movie. She has a small fight with Catwoman and then later helps Nightwing and Alfred stage a car crash so they have a cover for why they need to take an injured Bruce Wayne to the hospital. Joker was also in that movie for a bit.

It's a great scene, and whether Bill's right about Superman or not doesn't matter in the slightest. What matters in that scene is that Bill himself believes it. Bill believes that people cannot change their fundamental nature. Once a killer, always a killer. The Bride isn't sure she can change enough to be a good mother, but she was willing to try. Bill never tried to change, and dies in the end because he failed to evolve. To waste even a moment arguing whether the villain of the piece is wrong about Superman is to miss the point of the scene entirely. Which, naturally, is all we ever hear about that scene anymore. Because fans get tunnel vision about the things they love. It's what makes them fans, for good, and all too often, for ill.

It's complicated to give a villain a clear, understandable ideology, and the bread and butter of nerddom is taking relatively insignificant parts of a work too seriously. I do think that at this point, Superman has been around for long enough and bounced between enough writers that he doesn't have much in the way of an inherent nature. I think I've seen more writers play around with the idea of Batman being the real person while Bruce Wayne is the mask though. Dang, I looked it up, and apparently Superman's copyright is due to expire in 15 years under current copyright law. I wonder what kind of effect that'll have. Big comic characters have basically been defined by the tight corporate control over IPs, and it's hard to imagine what will happen after the limits are taken off.

They probably aren't going to try extending it again because they realized that would give them too much bad publicity and it's not really necessary because while copyright eventually expires, trademarks don't as long as they continue seeing use

I reflexively cling to hope because without that all life on this earth is meaningless. It'd sure be something if all the big media companies could no longer just bank off of their old trash indefinitely and actually had to find new creative content to grab the public's attention on its own merits.

Mickey mouse enters public domain in 2024 and so far Disney hasn't done poo poo to try and extend the copyright, last time around when it was this close they'd already locked up most of Congress into supporting an extension. It's possible they don't care as much because Marvel is their current biggest cash cow and most of those characters have more than 30 years left on their copyright.

I think it would be too messy for any company to try and make their own Mickey Mouse stuff, and likely there will be an agreement between Disney and other large companies to not do that. It won't stop smaller people from trying, but there's so much that they could mess up and Disney's lawyers are sure to be keeping an eye out for that. I don't think much will change except Steamboat Willie will be free to watch.

From what I understand, if someone took the Steamboat Willie version of Mickey the trademark doesn't stop them from doing toys, books, etc. of that version. But if they tried to like, put that version on toothpaste or cereal boxes, that's when the trademark would stop them. But there's so much grey area I can't imagine anyone except some small/sketchy companies tying to make a quick buck would try it.

There's a lot of ambiguity there. A lot of room for interpretation by the courts, and considering how most of those judges will have grown up in the age of Disney's stifling copyright law, that may also have an effect on things. Although in practical terms, it probably depends more on how Disney's legal team specifically interprets the law, since most people can't afford to defend themselves against civil lawsuits and we live in a corporate-run world.

Is there any confirmation anywhere that HBO Max is going to be getting the DCAU content that's currently only available on DC Universe? I really want to revisit all of those shows, but they're not on the list of content coming out on May 27th.

Once DCU fails probably. Edit: Justice League DOOM is actually pretty solid, it's almost entirely the JLU voice cast, pretty decent plot and the animation isn't terrible. Nathan Fillion as Hal Jordan is fun and it was dedicated to McDuffie, acknowledging that he was the glue holding this stuff together. I get why they did it but bringing Tim Daly back to be Superman was kind of jarring since Newburn held the role for all of JLU. Rhyno fucked around with this message at 20:34 on May 24, 2020 |
