>The Death and Return of Superman, which is gonna be a two-parter
What?

>>94058618
Yeah, they said they're giving it another try but this time they'll be more faithful.

>>94058618
WBA running out of popular material to adapt it seems

Not gonna lie.

Kind of hyped for Death.

>>94058571
The Death of Superman? Again? There's a gazillion stories and they want to redo that one? maybe they're adapting the new 52 version and changing the continuity to Rebirth?

>>94058571
Didn't they already do this?

Also Emerald Twilight 3rd movie?

>Yeah, they said they're giving it another try but this time they'll be more faithful.
Fix this one first.

>>94058571
how many times does superman die in dceu?

>>94058571
I know a lot of people, myself included, are annoyed with how much Batman is in these DTV movies, but why not adapt Knightfall instead of doing Death of Superman again?

Why did DCA movies go to shit? There was Flashpoint, Red Hood, and WAR was alright too, but then they just took a nose dive.

>>94058715
Too many to the point where it doesn't even matter
Superman is the Krillin of the DCU where he dies every other even and gets brought bacmlk immediately after

Jesus just give me a Doom Patrol movie.

>>94058659
But Doomsday was good because it was unfaithful.

I don't get it
why

>>94058748
When they decided to start adapting the New 52, not realizing that iteration was living on borrowed time.

>>94058571
Remember when DC animation was good?

>>94058571
Not thrilled they're doing something a second time, but at least it's not more of this shared universe they've been doing.

>>94058715
Superman's death was such a fucking shitshow when it originally came out that it literally ruined the impact of Superhero deaths in comics forever
Now you just know whenever someone dies that they'll be back in a year or two

>>94058807
>hurr durr I watched that one Max Landis video

kys

>>94058815
Who the fuck is Max Landis or whatever?

>>94058782
>>94058748
Judas Contract wasn't bad, and I liked Assault on Arkham.

>>94058831
A /co/ nobody that somehow become a somebody.

>>94058832
I still haven't watched Judas Contract and Assault on Arkham was great except I'm not the biggest Harley fan.

>>94058571
Oh boy, can't wait for another Batman comic to be butchered by terrible animation and unnecessary additions

>The Death and Return of Superman
But why, I am not even sure Superman fans like that story

>>94058815
>kys
So you're literally underaged
Ok

>>94058861
He's the son of John Landis you fucking retard.

>>94058769

>getting this triggered over 3 letters

grow a skin kid

>>94058807
you weren't even alive back then. I was 10 when it came out. I don't think any comic moved me emotionally like that story did. Especially funeral for a friend.

>only heroes that get movies are Supes, Bats and WW
I want a good GL or Flash solo movie.

>>94058571
At least there's a Suicide Squad movie instead of another batman one

Even if it'll be shit

I wish they'd adapt some Green Lantern or Flash stories.

>>94058944
They better not leave out Superboy. They also better have the JL getting their shit pushed in.

>>94059031

Well if they want to be faithful it's gonna be the justice league D-list

>>94058710
>More Batman
Just fuck off

>>94059009
You had Flashpoint.

>>94059058
He said good.

>>94059027
They tried. GL bombed but Flashpoint did ok.
>>94058890
Funeral for a Friend was fucking GOAT, Steel and Superboy were great, but yeah otherwise it's pretty meh.

>>94058571
We /90s/ again.

>>94058618
/co/ hates it but I liked it.
A decent alternate interpretation of Luthor.

>>94059080
Flashpoint was good

>>94059027
Barry has no iconic stories outside Flashpoint. The only other valid adaptations would be Wally ones, and swapping him for Barry wouldn't be right because alot of those stories deal with the context he's fighting under Barry's shadow.

>>94059083

Did the Green Lantern ones really bomb? I liked Emerald Knights and First Flight

>>94059113
Not with that art style it wasn't.

>>94059058
Flashpoint isn't a Flash movie. Flash is in it but it isn't wasn't a solo at all.
>>94059113
>Flashpoint was good

>>94058571
>Gotham by Gaslight
They already announced they're expanding the material because it's really short. They already fucked it up, it's going to be another Killing Joke.

>Suicide Squad: Hell to Pay
Not really interest if it's done like the lastest DC animated movies set in the ongoing universe.

>The Death and Return of Superman, which is gonna be a two-parter
Fuck you all "90s are bad" faggots, this is really great. I was really hoping to see the whole story animated but the original movie killed my hopes. If they get Bruce Timm to do it it has a chance to be amazing.

>>94059201
>If they get Bruce Timm to do it it has a chance to be amazing.
As long as we have a 20 minute prolog of Supes and Jimmy making out.
On both parts.

>>94059003
>I was 10 when it made me sad!
That statement's worth jack shit to the rest of us.

>>94059201
>If they get Bruce Timm to do it it has a chance to be amazing.
If you want batman waltzing in and fucking Lois over Clark's dead body, sure

>>94059201
But anon Timm was the one who fucked up TKJ, If Timm is involved with Death and Return then the movie will suffer the same fate of The Killing Joke

>>94059239
Great thing is, this story is so big that they won't put additional shit to fill the runtime. If anything they'll trim a lot of fat.

They're going to do a more faithful but at the same time better version of the comic.

>>94059271
Stop with the "Timm fucked up TKJ" meme. That was Azzarello's fault too. Besides, he doesn't have his waifu Babs in this movie.

>>94058571
This needs to be a trilogy
Death
Reign
and
Return

>>94059295
Azz was only writing though, Timm was the producer and man-in-charge there so the responsibility and criticism falls on Timm

>>94059328
Not enough happens in Reign to warrant a movie of its own.

I just hope they don't fuck up the Funeral for a Friend part, that's the best part.

>>94059201
>They already announced they're expanding the material because it's really short. They already fucked it up, it's going to be another Killing Joke.
Or maybe they're just using bits from Master of the Future.

>>94059201
>They already announced they're expanding the material because it's really short. They already fucked it up, it's going to be another Killing Joke.
they might just merge it with it's sequel, and thus have the Jack The Ripper section be part one, and then have the second half be a version of it's sequel Master of The Future

>>94058710
Fuck sake if you hate the bat girl parts just skip them

>>94059481
If I skip all the bad parts on a movie they'll all be 10/10.
Kill yourself.

>>94058571

This really pisses me off /co/ because I've been thinking of and trying to write a new, revived season for Justice League Unlimited, which focuses on Crises on Infinite Earths basically. But adapting a lot more of the storylines in DC way more faithfully and reviving the DCAU.

One of the core plots in this season is everyone on the original Justice League being taken out of the picture. I wanted to the Death of Superman but actually do it right, like with the Justice League (Booster, Guy, Blue Beelte etc) fighting Doomsday, Superman tells them to back off and gets killed. And then doing Cyborg Superman, Eradictor, Superboy and making Steel pick up the cape and S because he's already there. So adapting faithfully, but we have to do this so when we bring Hal Jordan into this universe when we have Hank Henshaw destroying Coast City and Hal going crazy and turning into Parallax.

The original members of this Justice League are being taken out so the Anti-Monitor can secretly replace them all with the Justice Lords. Batman gets his back broken by Bane and Azreal takes over. John and Sheriya go with Hawkman to Rann with Adam Strange. Wally Flash semi-retires and forms the Titans because Barry comes back in the first episode... (Where he fights Thawne, The Monitor brings him back to this universe and it explains where he's been this whole time)

But the point is you do the even correctly to keep the continuity going, with the goal of bringing it to REBIRTH in a few seasons, but in between doing all the events you need the full DC cast to do like Justice League Dark and Blackest Night etc....

But they're just going to do this as it's separate thing, probably still ignore Hank Henshaw and Eradictor....

I feel pyschic too /co/. Like I've been reading those books, thinking about this and then this happens.... Like DC just steals shit straight from brain.

>>94058831
He is a queer rich kid that makes movies because he is his fathers son and he made a few meme videos on the youtube that appealed to autists. He is an annoying faggot

God damn it all I want is Justice League: The Grid.

>>94058944

This is all I want. Doomsday isn't the part of Death and Return that makes it worth reading. Reign of the Supermen is the real heart of the story and that's what the first DTV didn't get. The whole point is "what would Metropolis look like if Superman was gone? What would people inspired by his memory do?"

>>94059481
The Barbara parts were only one problem with the movie. Even the parts from the comic fucking sucked in the movie. It was just a really shitty adaption which is a shame since this was supposed to be Hamill's swan song as the Joker.

>>94059832

Exactly... that's what I'm saying here... >>94059614. They've cheapened the story so much over the years.

Also I'm going insane because I just read those stories (well AGAIN since back in the 90s) because I'm trying to write a better animated adaption for it...

And then they make this announcement. I'm fucking psychic. I want to write for DC, I make up all sorts of shit and then read something eerily similar to what I came up with like a year later in their comics.

This is driving me insane /co/... I need to just write for them and work for them.

Should have picked The Doom that Came to Gotham instead of Gotham by Gaslight.
GbG is too short and doesn't have enough fanservice.

>>94058571
>The Death and Return of Superman
Again?
>>94058618
This!?!

>>94058571
>Batman and SKWAD

suprise suprise

>>94058802
I'm happy to see that end too. Especially since that means no Batgirl of Burnside.

>>94059133
GL and Wonder Woman did well and had consistent sales, but Batman and Superman were doing better so WB demanded they only do stories featuring Batman and Superman.

Assault on Arkham is the only one of the recent animated DC movies to be even halfway decent, so if this is a direct sequel to that I'm interested.

If this is based in the DCAU(or worse, off the fucking movie) then I'm out.

>Death/Return of Superman two-parter

Yes because that story is clearly on the same quality level as The Dark Knight Returns and should be treated with the same amount of fanfare.

Who the fuck even wants this with the current model? Have you seen how bad the animation has gotten for these movies at some point? The first part is going to be 70 minutes of punching with JL; War tier animation and choreography, it's going to be fucking awful.

>>94058618
They compress all star into one movie, but give two for this shit gimmick comic.

>>94060310
All star was a mediocre comic.

Any chance we'll ever get another Superman movie with the new superfamily including Jon?

>>94059481
>If you hate half of a movie just skip it

Great argument

>>94060374
Source?

>>94060376
You'd need a Clark with enough balls to fuck Lois AND that doesn't die every weekend.

>>94058807

Fuck off Max Landis, and Jean Grey's return came first and was far more egregious.

>>94060374
It's one of the only three good Superman stories.

>>94060310
>2 animated Superman movies since god knows when
take it, shut up and don't think too much about it

>>94058831
The son of a child killer.

>>94058571
If that Skwad isn't a sequel to AoA then fuck it

I want Flash: Blitz. goddamnit!

Anything that isn't Batman for a millionth time is alright with me.

>>94058670
Shut the fuck up faggot

>>94058670
Hey I've got this crazy idea, why don't they make some more original cartoons that don't come on a 6 in the morning?

>>94058832
AOA isn't even new 52
Its based on the arkham games
Judas contract was just okay ish

>>94058670
Since they're pandering to B:TASfags, they could do more movies from cartoons people miss, like Green Lantern.

>>94060155
Ironically, their Batman stuff sells far worse, yet they keep depending on him.

>>94060310
>They compress all star into one movie, but give two for this shit gimmick comic

I wouldn't say the stuff that came out of the Death arc is a gimmick. As long as the keep the Doomsday down and use a good portion of the first and most of the second to get into the rest of the material (it did turn out to a big collection of books).

>>94060726

I thought they got the art right on All Star but think it's short and generally don't like the changes they made. I'd like them to recast the voice actors, at least Lois (which they won't do) and then have them add an additional 50 minutes of material and extend some of the existing material and re-release it as a two parter - Ultimate Edition or whatever they want to call it.

ffs, not only they did they do that already >>94058618, but that's exactly what's hapenning in their movies too. Who approved that?

>>94058710
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFEHTAnsmGU

Superman: Doomsday was shit.

Sure Death and Return started weak but the middle was strong and the end was decent.
Fuck yeah, two parter.

Get some Bibbo in there.

>>94058710
All you need to do to fix that one is take out all the prologue shit and remove the kangaroo court.
I liked the kangaroo court as an isolated thing but not only was it not in the comic it did not fit the situation.

Also they should have gone with the version of the photo page with the nipples. And more importantly lingered on the photos for a few more seconds.

>>94058748
Pointless henchmen deaths aside I kind of liked bad blood.

It made me realize something about batwoman though. Her origin does not work anymore now they allow gays in the military and without that easy explanation for discharge it makes you question her character. Is somebody that was kicked out of the military really who you want protecting the streets of gotham.

>>94059009
I think green lantern is still considered a risk because of the live action film tanking so hard.

>>94059201
I think you can get away with expanding gotham by gaslight in a way you could not with killing joke.

>>94060155
You mean the 2009 one?
I liked that but there was a weird part in the climax where they did not bother to animate anybody in the background. That's not a problem on it's own but background characters had been consistently moving the entire film and so to see so many stationary at once was offputting.

>>94060374
When it got to the time travel and other fancy stuff it sort of fell apart but before that it was great.

>>94063483
Both of the comics colorings are shit.

But seriously, can't we do anything else? I'd even be okay with them forcing Batman or Superman into other stuff if they could just adapt something else and do it faithfully.

They could do what JL:A did and do a Booster Gold movie with tag along and then mind wiped Batman.

They could straight up adapt JLI since Batman is already there.

They could do a cosmic movie with some combination of Adam Strange, Hawkman, L.E.G.I.O.N., Starfire, Darkstars, Captain Comet, various inhabitants of Vega or even any of the corps and just have Superman show up and tag along. They could fight Starro, I think it's been awhile since it did anything.

They could adapt some Superboy and the LoSH shit, anthology style or otherwise.

They could adapt any of the lesser known events or stories from the comics that feature the JL or a combination of heroes from different teams. Like Final Night or any other story like that.

They could do a movie about any elseworld (like Gaslight up there) or any of the 51 other worlds in the multiverse.

But nah, lets do the same movie again but maybe or maybe not less boring.

>>94059481
>Implying Batgirl was the only bad part of that movie

Since this seems to be the thread for it

Batman/Harley premiered last night at SDCC so I wonder how far anyone here have any spoilers? I want to know if I should waste my time seeing that movie

>>94058618
Better than the actual comic

>>94058571
Fucking Johns, the guy doesn't even try anymore, wb says and the guy obey, such a bitch.

>>94063945
>Like Final Night
If they did that I would hope they change the ending instead of that bullshit copout at the last second.

Did most of you not like the Doomsday movie?

>>94064273
It was pretty bad.

>>94064277
How so?

>>94064329
The Death and Return of Superman is not the most consistent or smartest story, a least from the start. But it is overall a nice arc of its own.

The movie just throws that all away for some really hilarious dumb plot about clones. It might have been fine if they took out the Doomsday element and the half hearted attempt of acting like an adaptation.

>>94064365
What else?

>>94058659
I'm waiting for the day they try to make a Lobos Paramilitary Xmas Special animated movie

>>94064412
That's pretty much it, it's a terrible adaptation whose plot doesn't really match up in terms of overall creativity to that of the original (putting aside differences).

>>94064440
>it's a terrible adaptation whose plot doesn't really match up in terms of overall creativity to that of the original

Does that really make the overall movie inherently bad to you? I watched it without reading the comic first, and I liked it well enough.

>>94064531
Nah, like I said the overall dimension of the movie is...alright - but it does make the inclusion of Doomsday and trappings like that pointless. Cheapens itself by pretending.

>>94064560
I guess they just needed a selling point, and death and Doomsday was what they had. There's also budget and run time.

I THINK I discussed this on /co/ years ago, and back then the general consciousness seemed to be the same - i.e. a letdown of an adaption, but an okay to good movie in it's own right. Basically the worth 75 minutes of your life, at the very least.

But isn't the whole Death of Superman arc generally ill-received here on /co/?

>>94064710
Just the Death part...and I agree.

World Without, Reign and Return are really fun though and actually deserve to be done some measure of justice.

Guys, you did this one already, 10 years ago. In fact it got this whole DC Original Animated Movie thing going.

>>94058571
What if the Superman/Doomsday fight is just in the opening credits this time and the movie opens with his funeral?

DCAU did the fight, a previous movie did it, BvS did it, so make it more about the aftermath.

There, I just saved you 77'ish minutes from your torrent download/$60-120 dollars.

Was there any good DCU movie after Flashpoint, aside from AoA.
War was so bad, that I still don't touch any animated JL material, aside from Dark (which was only ok at best) and Batman's movies weren't better. Bad Blood was decent, but only as much decent as "just above shit" level can be.

Superman vs Doomsday has the best animated fight in all the DC animated movies

Name any good, in Canon Superman run then.

>>94060856
Blitz is fantastic, but a lot of the impact comes from Wally's friendship with Hunter being built up before then, so I don't know how that would work out compressed into a movie. I'd definitely love to see some Wally movies, though.

>>94067216
Rebirth
>B-b-but I don't like it
Ok kiddo.

>>94060047
dont you understand anon, your ideas are coming to life

If Tomasi is the best you can come up with, it's not an argument worth having. You probably haven't even read enough comics.

>>94058618
>>94058659
To be fair, that was terrible.

>>94060083
I think being short works since ghese animated movies are often too short themselves and condense too much

>>94067216
Johns' stuff was good aside from being a little oversaturated with events.

This desu,
but I have doubts

>Be Morrisonfag DP instead of OG DP or some other iteration
>The Brave and the Bold episode and the DC Nation shorts were the only good animated appearances, but even those had odd and baffling choices made

>It's a "what if Geoff Johns' New52 Doom Patrol actually took off" movie

>>94060047
Same dude, I've been trying to get into writing because it'd be my dream to work on plastic man, not a week after I start practicing scripts they reveal plas is in the outsiders. On one hand I want him to be popular and cool, on the other if he blows up there's no way they would give that sort of thing to a nobody. Fuck, Moore got into the DC because Swamp Thing was a nobody, you know?

I agree. I don't know why other Anon's are sperging at this suggestion. Better yet, don't watch it if you know it's gonna be crap.

>>94058571
but ... they already did an animated movie about Death of Superman.

>>94058571
Hopefully it makes enough money that we get more non Batman films. Superman: Doomsday made the most money out of all the movies, and I really want to pry DC Animation away from Batman.

>Still no Batman by Morrison trilogy

>>94068513
>B-b-but I don't like it
Just like I predicted. I know mommy told you that you were special but that's not true. You are not the be all end all judge of what constitutes as "good".

>>94059027
For real; not sure how popular they are, but both the Green Lantern movies they made were probably my favorites in the lineup.

>>94069471
>Batman and Son
>Batman vs Robin
>Batman: Bad Blood
They were all shit anon, you don't want them adapting Morrison

>>94069497
They were bombs commercially which sucks. GL can't catch a break.

>>94069542
First Flight is the fourth highest grossing animated DC movie and it's only beaten by Under the Red Hood, Superman: Doomsday and the Public Enemies team up

>>94069489
>you're not the judge
At least I'm not a newfag who started reading with Rebirth or new 52.
