Justice League animated had the absolute best and definitive incarnation of literally every DC character. It's lightyears ahead of any adaptation before or since.
I hate DCAU Superman he's a dimwitted butthole
I rewatched all those DCAU things a while back and I especially liked Superman and Luthor's characterizations in STAS. Superman was not even close to being completely broken like he usually his (I don't think he even had freeze breath?) and Luthor barely cared about him when he's usually obsessed. He tried his initial kill attempt and when it failed just said "oh well" and moved on with his life until something just straight up fell in his lap (Kryptonite, Braniac) that would make another attempt worth the effort
I liked Superman a lot. He didn't get as much time to shine as he ought to have, but when he did, it was nice. Superman wasn't planet-pulling levels of OP, but he was really powerful, he just needed to pull his punches badly or else he'd vaporize your head into red mist just poking it with a finger. His fight with Livewire I loved, since he's trying to be gentle with her, talk her out of what she's doing, etc. That's the life of Superman, trying to avoid getting into fights because the other person will die if he isn't careful
>That's the life of Superman, trying to avoid getting into fights because the other person will die if he isn't careful
Superman (Mundo De Cartón) is one of the best scenes from any of the DC animated stuff
Not that anon but superman in JL/STAS was amazing, he was kind and gentle while still being extremely powerful. I've never seen any live action version of superman that came close to the JL/STAS one.
100% agreed.
Superman was not good in the STAS, mainly because they made him too weak. STAS is mostly something that you come to appreciate a bit later when JL/JLU comes around because they continue with his relationships with side characters from BTAS, but now he is at normal strength. So you get the best of both worlds.
with side characters from STAS*
nope. cant be done with the time frame
A nice moment if it was his own series and just him doing this on his own, next to the League it's bat wank, almost every other member is more sympathetic and would do this before he would even think too, even Bruce himself would say as much.
>bat wank
At this point you should just accept that Batman and Superman are the main characters of DC as a whole and everyone else is just their supporting cast.
The Timmverse shows can get away with it because we wouldn't have gotten the rest of the shows, had B:TAS been a failure.
I don't mind moments like this, to be honest. It's like showing respect for the character and setting that made way for the rest.
Now, Bruce getting it on with Lois Lane and Diana... that's some bullshit right there. His harem from the original show is big enough.
Bruce and Diana in the animated series was so fricking good.
wait when did bruce bang lois? i know he banged Diana and Barbara...
In World's Finest she dated both of them
>At this point you should just accept that Batman and Superman are the main characters of DC as a whole and everyone else is just their supporting cast.
Is it this bad with Marvel too? Who's the characters everybody flocks to and makes the rest of the characters irrelevant?
Who cares? It doesn't matter
I was just curious, Owlman
The only ones anybody even knew before the MCU were Spider-Man and the X-Men.
I just watched this episode and it's so good. The feels, every time.
>Non-canon third act.
Try again.
No, because they don't get the character.
Sending Batman in there was an absolute waste. They should have sent mommy Wonder Woman in there to soothe Ace instead. Wonder Woman is supposed to be the compassionate and motherly one. Ace could die happy and comfortably, with her face smothered in Wonder Woman's huge, warm breasts
Saw the Pattinson Batman last night, really fricking good. Hope they do Strange or Freeze in the sequel
Strange would be a great choice for this style. i hear they're doing Clayface though, but the earlier version where he wasn't mud
They could also do mad matter or professor pyg
*hatter
those two would lend themselves to the detective theme he was going for in the first one
Batman 2 where Clayface is the villain and he changes his appearance multiple times while Batman has to use his detective mode to catch him
>Ron Perlman voiced Clayface
I didn't need to know that
>YO LIL BATSY LAST NIGHT I SNUCK INTO THE BAT CAVE TRANSFORMED MYSELF INTO YOUR TOILET AND ALFREDL SHAT RIGHT IN MY MOUTH, HOW DO YOU LIKE THEM APPLES?
Stop that
wtf, she was 12
Unironically Batfleck
Harley's Holiday was pure, unadultered kino.
Harley is really absolute adorable in this episode. The Koreans drew it, which you'd think would make it look really shit, but they did a great job. Paul Dini wrote it, who also wrote other heavy feels episodes, like Heart of Ice and Baby Doll. Paul Dini understands Harley's character. Timm on the other hand... fricking hell. When he gets ahold of her, he just inserts his fetishes, like the Batman and Harley Quinn movie. It really highlights the difference between a good writer and a bad one
Michael Keaton accepts Vicki Vale in the Batcave, chastizes Alfred for it in the next movie, but doesn't fire him or go after her.
He's a sweet guy really.
It got to the point where Batman Beyond Batman is secretly his actual son because his sperm got injected into his mom, and his 'dad' was just some guy.
Why the flying frick did they write that?
Same episode as OP's, no less. The JLU episode was a Batman one, and making Terry Bruce's son who went down a different path with his interpersonal relationships was fine for Batman's story. Unfortunately, it does cheapen Terry's character as a result.
I thought it pretty fricked up harley moved on from joker as well, her grankids are the twins.
I know it's 'implied' but the obvious implication is it's her, which means she survived.
Lesser villains died and stayed dead.
It was a horrible idea and it invalidated the idea that any kid could be Batman with enough drive and conviction to do it, even (you) and me
>Green Lantern was the most difficult.
It's very sad in retrospect given how he ends up in Beyond.
HE NAMES THE DOG AFTER THE GIRL
DEEPEST LORE
