Power Girl acts more like Supergirl than anything else. In fact, the entire heroic cast barring Superman and Batman are portrayed as having an almost childlike naivety that leads them to accept that Luthor has the best of intentions despite his criminal history. Luthor himself is cartoonishly evil and pointlessly destructive, displaying none of his characteristic brilliance. The whole affair is the worst looking animated feature DC has produced so far as well.

yeah i feel like this is the first genuine miss DC has had
it was nice to hear Tim Daly and Kevin Conroy and Clancy Brown though

brainiac attacks wasn't part of the DC Animated official whatever features
I saw that on cartoon network once, and I think it was better than Public Enemies. I'd also consider Mystery of the Batwoman a miss, but, again, not on the level of PE.

To be absolutely fair, that's how it was in the comic. Loeb wrote the thing, remember

But the usual response or defense to Loeb's work is that his work is mostly a big movie blockbuster. If it doesn't work in a cartoon format with a decent budget, well, we win I guess?
I'm surprised the animation isn't that good, as McGuiness does have the quintessential cartoon style.
Maybe kids will like it, but I'd have appreciated less muscle-bound designs and faces with a bit more expressiveness.
And yeah, I'm sure a fair amount of what was wrong with it can be attributed to Loeb. I never actually read Public Enemies, though, so I can't say for sure.

I always thought that was what people used to defend Millar.

It was Loeb before Millar. Millar, before he became Ultimates action KA-BOOM OH MY GOD, was the funny Scot who was the Robin to Morrison's Batman.
Loeb got that especially for Hush (how it had Jim Lee and ignored everything about the Bat-Books so he could use the characters he wanted), Our Worlds at War and his Superman/Batman stuff (and Ultimates and Ultimatum, although by then I think people gave up)
First Flight was meh, PE sounds pretty crappy, and I'm very iffy on McDuffie doing Crisis simply because he was my least favorite writer on JL, and I thought his episodes were always pretty uneven. There were a few really good ones, but so many of them were just bland.

I don't think it'll happen, though. But a version could work...something where all the main heroes are off the planet, and the reserves are all pulled up to deal with some comical threat.
Music Meister. (possibly made up for the show? I don't know)
e: Also, watched Bats and Supes: Public Enemies last night. A major turd and a half it was. It was a sixty-minute, perpetually out-of-character-for-everybody fight scene.

Well, that was awesome. Been meaning to buy Brave and the Bold on iTunes since it doesn't seem like there's a good DVD box out there, maybe I should get on that.

And since the recent Batman talk was about Nguyen's art, I would totally buy a Heart of Hush movie in Nguyen's style.
And of course there's that whole watching things illegally thing.

Then it hits me: Animated movie of I Can't Believe it's Not the Justice League.

That episode reminds me of my favourite Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode, The Zeppo

Yes, that is Neil Patrick Harris.
