sportzboytjw

This was fun. More please!

Jordyn

JL two-parter next, probably.

The Lovely Bastard

jordyn do the one with cthulu

Faynor

Why was Hawkwoman in the JL cartoon?

She was so boring. Just all RAAAWGH IM ANGRY AND I HAVE WINGS AND MY MACE IS INEXPLICABLY ELECTRIC

The Lovely Bastard

because who cares about Aquaman

all he does is talk to fish

Faynor

Have you watched Brave and the Bold

Aquaman is awesome.

Robos A Go Go

Hawkwoman was better than Wonder Woman.

The Lovely Bastard

also why was batman in the show

he was too cool

you know batman is really a marvel character trapped in the dc universe

Faynor

I don't really remember Wonder Woman from JL

I suppose that proves your point

She got turned into a pig once!

That's about it

Jordyn

Uh, it was Hawkgirl.

God, you guys.

Centipede Damascus

I remember Wonder Woman flirted with Batman a lot

that was weird

TexiKen

It was awesome because that's what they were doing in the comic at the time.

Also, WW was voiced by Dakota Fanning in that one episode where they were turned into kids.

The Lovely Bastard

jordyn I will improve this thread with one post

Man, she didn't deserve the girl surname at all. That's like calling Hawkman Hawkboy.

Ringo

Her Batman romance subplot in that episode was fun

Jordyn

oh gee thanks for improving the thread, TLB I was really having trouble in here.

it was made out of nth metal, that's why

also it was Hawkgirl because they wanted to have another woman in the main cast and so they swapped out Katar Hol for Shayera

The Lovely Bastard

jordyn I can always make it ten times worse

you know I can make it worse

TexiKen

I can't believe Carlo Barberi was drawing the DCAU stuff for a time.

DJ Eebs

do you want me to put up a poll as to what everyone's favorite DCAU show is

fair warning: the only option will be "superman"

Garlic Bread

I got the full B:TAS collector's set for my birthday. I already had the DVDs, but some of them skipped.

So I traded them in at MovieStop and got Mulan and Super Friends Season 1

That is my least favorite DCAU show.

Your plan is flawed.

You also let a baby die how could you do that to me

Maybe she didn't like people to know her real age
Like Billy Quizboy

Superman is an amazing show, and I will tolerate no discussion to the contrary.

Robos A Go Go

I'll call The Zeta Project my least favorite DCAU show, just so I don't have to pick any of the real shows.

Mr Pink

The only problem I ever had with Superman was that it made me purchase Superman 64.

It's not bad, but I mean, blah. I don't know. It just comes off as so flat to me. In comparison to the others.

I think it started off pretty weak, but it was awesome central by the end. I do think the writers in both Superman and JL never really got a handle on Superman's character the way they did Batman's, though. Too often he was written as some lunkhead who charged in and got shocked with electricity over and over and over again.

Seriously

so much writhing

Jacobkosh

Also, I will say that the Superman cartoon has given us, bar none, the best take on Lex Luthor ever. From flabby scientist with a robot suit and a double chin, to cut-rate Kingpin ripoff, to Telly Savalas's Blofeld in On Her Majesty's Secret Service - the third time was clearly the charm.

Centipede Damascus

I really liked it when Darkseid and the New Gods showed up on Superman. It was alright before that, but they really kicked things up a notch.

I will agree that he was often made too weak on Justice League, where there was a team and it took a long time for them to get a handle on team dynamics. J'onn fell into this same trap. Hell so did Flash. In fact most of the league did for a while.

On his own show though, this didn't happen nearly as often and I think you get a good feel for how clever he can actually be. I hear all the time that he "charges in a lot" but that's like saying "Batman throws too many batarangs." He's using the tools he has. And secondly, while Superman is sometimes powerless and forced to fight off a bad guy with brain power (much in the style of Batman), why would the writers put him that situation a lot? I'm watching a show about superstrong, invulnerable dude. It'd be pretty dumb if I complained about too much punching.

DJ Eebs

The Late Mr. Kent was such an awesome episode. Also: Jordyn, do you still have that screencap of the DVD Trivia thing with Superman and the dinosaur?

Jordyn

Yes of course.

DJ Eebs

yaaaaaaaay

Jordyn

So I'm watching a JL episode and some scene is playing and I'm like "man, check this music. Hmm I'm betting this is a Kristopher Carter episode."

And I was right.

And then Ben called me a dork.

Centipede Damascus

I actually like it best when Superman can just punch a thing or a bad guy all to hell

like in Justice League when he fights Captain Marvel, or Darkseid at the end

FCD

I always wonder why Supes

couldn't just have said to CM "I'm pretty sure there's a bomb over there, so let's both use our super speed to check it out." It would've saved them so much trouble.
