Trailer released for Justice League: Doom

[B E C K]

Now to find something to put in your butt as a preemptive counter attack!

hmm what could I put in there...

There's already a stick up there.  Sorry.  I thought you knew.

I watched this the other day. It wasn't great. It wasn't terrible either, it was just... compared to some of the stories we were given in the Justice League TV series, it was strictly mediocre. There was so much perspective-hopping from character to character that I never really cared about what any one of them was doing. Nothing really spectacular ever happens.

Or maybe it's just that superhero stuff in general has reached that saturation point where most of it comes off as mundane.

I'm still waiting on Judas Contract. That was the first one they'd mentioned when this whole animated feature thing started.

Cancelled projects

The Teen Titans: The Judas Contract was planned as the third DC Universe Animated Original Movie, to be released after Superman: Doomsday (2007) and Justice League: The New Frontier (2008). It was announced in 2006 but later put on hold. This film was to be based on "The Judas Contract" story from 1984 featured in Tales of the Teen Titans #42-44 and Teen Titans Annual #3 by Marv Wolfman and George Pérez. Warner Brothers Animation writer/producer Bruce Timm confirmed in April 2010 that there were no current plans to revive the project.

Thanks for the elaboration. In that case, I officially don't care if they continue these efforts. I don't think any of them have been particularly good. I hold out very little hope for the next one, and the DKR one will, if All-Star Superman and particularly Year One was any indication, be lackluster in comparison to the source.

I haven't seen Year One, but I heard it was snoozetastic.

Maybe they should call it quits with the adaptations, or at least get away from the Superfriends. I wouldn't mind a movie based on Shadowpact, for instance. They could stand to skew more obscure like that.

Who would buy it? That's what the brass will ask before approving such a thing. Which is a shame...they could have gotten away with that with an episode of Justice League or Batman or whatever, but a stand-alone movie is probably not happening because of that simple question. That's probably why they scrapped the Teen Titans movie.

Shadowpact would be a fun group to feature (two words: "Detective Chimp"), but I'd really prefer Secret Six.

The Year One movie wasn't horrible. It was constrained IMO by the fact that its source material plays better on the page than celluloid...the constant internal monologues in particular don't make for exciting viewing. I also thought the adapted art design was just too plain, and the voices didn't do it for me. But the story was well-adapted from the landmark original, and it flowed well.

Is young justice back on yet?

I saw the 3-pack at Sam's yesterday, but I didn't pick it up. Sam's Club apparently has a problem carrying a decent Blu-ray selection.

Is young justice back on yet?

It came back saturday morning with Green Lantern TAS and DC Nation. And it is still boring.

Why don't they release the Warners Direct movies to  theaters? They would make a killing.
