Nah, a lot of the animated movies just haven't been very good.
Superman: Doomsday, Superman/Batman: Apocalypse, Superman/Batman: Public Enemies, and Batman: Year One were all pretty much garbage. And a few more were just kind of okay.
I mean, looking at how Superman: Doomsday was translated from The Death of Superman, it's easy to see how you could get a seriously flawed adaptation of Tower of Babel.
He hasn't been getting along with DC or Didio for a while. That's why he left DC for Marvel.
that doesn't answer my question!
The word that goes around all the time is that Didio was really control freakish about 52, and didn't think it was very good. Allegedly, he particularly hated how Mark Waid was dealing with the Elongated Man stuff, and stepped in to rewrite a bunch of it without telling anyone.
Beyond that he had denied Waid the opportunity to write an actual Superman ongoing for years for no reason at all beyond what seemed like a personal vendetta.
After the 52 stuff, Waid just had enough and left. Wacker left midway through 52, so it's possible he took off for similar reasons.
As far as I know, though, all four of the writers and Wacker are all still on good terms with eachother.
But I dunno. Maybe Geoff Johns threw Mark Waid off a cliff at one point or something.

You guys are crazy Doom was pretty ok. Alright that isn't a glowing endorsement but it certainly isn't as bad as people are saying it is. Some of the stuff to take at the Justice League was better than the comic and some of it was worse (Wonder Woman's seemed really off in particular).
Public Enemies and Year One weren't too bad. Though Year One was kind of dull.
The only one of the DC movies that I truly don't like is Apocalypse. That was just terrible, especially the look of it.
I wish they would stop remaking comics though. The only one that I felt really worked was Under the Hood which was fairly different from the source.

I'm almost alright with Apocalypse, even. It just has two scenes in it that are totally unnecessary and cringe inducing, and ruin the whole thing for me. It's so sad, because I hadn't read the source material, and was expecting Loeb's Darkseid to be totally off, but the whole story actually worked really well.
Almost.
Until
Darkseid just shows up at the Kent farm for no fucking reason at all, and gets into a 10-minute-long fight with Kal and Kara that is so far beyond overkill and so out of character for Darkseid that it broke my brain
And I'd say you're onto something with the adaptions, but I thought Red Hood and All Star Superman were both fantastic, and I really enjoyed New Frontier the first time I saw it as well. Public Enemies even works pretty well, if you just take it as a big, dumb beat-em-up movie. But then Year One and that Green Lantern Shorts movie are so baaaaaad.
For the most part, I've loved the movies, so it sucks that we've had an entire year of Let Downs now (Emerald Knights, Year One, JL:Doom). I can't believe we've had almost five years of these things; I'm starting to feel ancient.

I liked the Darkseid fight, sure it didn't make much sense, but it was still utterly epic. That and the Darkseid/Batman scene made the rental worth it imo. Still far from the fantastic Red Hood, All-Star and Crisis. It's a shame to see the new movie sucks. I had such high hopes!
What happened DC! Your one huge advantage over Marvel was your mastery of the animated superhero shows/movies. With Brave and the Bold ended, and a sting of mediocre to bad TV shows and movies, you've really lost your touch. The only thing we have to look forward to is the upcoming Batman TV show, and based on the art direction and gun wielding Alfred, I dunno if I'm even looking forward to it!

Did Darkseid hide in a barn like he in the comics?

Young Justice is good. And I thought Justice League Doom was alright.

That clip with Fury wouldn't be something that would be ultimate, it would be reckless and a waste of a good flag pole. I like the idea of trying to incorporate the word Ultimate into the show, even the words being tangible, to make it stand out from other stuff, but that was one of those scenes where it breaks my suspension of disbelief.
That Nova thing just seems odd if they aren't using Rich. If they were using Ultimate Rick Jones, use his design.
I'm a huge Rich fan, but I'm okay with this. Nova can stand to be a new character, and I'd rather the new annoying kid not be Rich. Hell, I'm even willing to give him a chance to be more than just annoying like he was in the few pages we got.
TexiKenDammit!That fish really got me!Registered Userregular
It probably will be the new 616 Nova, since Loeb is also part of Marvel animation, forgot about his new job.
I just think Rich never got a chance to really expand on his new role, or was in need of getting replaced compared to Cap and Bucky. If we never had Annihilation, it would have made more sense to switch Rich out, but when you salvage a character, don't let it go to waste.

It's not really a waste to make a new character right now.
Everyone always complains when character die and come back too soon. Now we're in a situation where Rich and Starlord sacrificed themselves to basically end the last major Marvel cosmic event. Sure, it's been a couple years, but keeping them off the field for a while isn't necessarily a bad thing.
Damn, this devil's advocate thing is horrible. I want them back so bad.

I agree in the principle too, and am not against new characters, this was just the one area/character where it didn't need to happen, out of all the Marvel characters, because they were able to save something which wowed us all.
What I'm saying is Richard Rider was Herbie the Love Bug.
I think Rich is a fantastic character, but he went out like a damn champ and doesn't need to be brought back any time soon.
Sam seems like he has the potential to be a fun new young hero in the vein of Ultimate Peter Parker, but in the 616. It helps that I am betting Hickman will be writing him in Avengers post AvX.

Hell yeah, clone Superman was a wonderfully creepy villain.

Eff you, Solar.
Not trying to insult those countries of course, just really pissed off about it.
It would be like us getting Tintin or Asterix films first and Europe getting it later.

Could be that's the name of the new Nova in 616?
That's my guess.
