The Natural Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 DC kill it with their animated features though, that's where they're excelling at the moment.  Can you reccomend any recent ones? Please.  Recent:  Batman: Year One Batman: Under the Red Hood Wonder Woman Superman vs. the Elite  Batman: Mask of the Phantasm is the best DC Animated Universe movie, second is Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker and third best take one from Batman: Year One/Batman: Under the Red Hood/Wonder Woman.

DC's animation side more than makes up for their lack of good live action output. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members BigJag Posted July 13, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted July 13, 2012 This stuff very rarely turns up on TV. SKY movies occasionally show some stuff. Mainly Marvel. I remember a awful Batman one. It was done by a Japanese studios and had Polar bears in it. It tried hard but just wasn't right. I think it was based on The Animated series. Is DVD the best way of watching these? Why do they not get shown on TV more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing beats it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do they not get shown on TV more? Â Was that the Mr Freeze one? I remember that being on channel 5 and it not being that good. It was all about Robin and Batgirl getting horny and very little Batman or Mr Freeze which was a shame as he came across really well in when he was on screen. Â The Marvel films are alright too, I like Hulk vs. Wolverine (can be found on youtube) as it's got a great performance by Deadpool's voice actor. Invincible Iron Man is pretty good too. The Ultimate Avengers aren't as good as the recent TV series but not completely awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamthedoctor Posted July 13, 2012 Author Share Posted July 13, 2012 Just saw this  Warner Bros and DC Entertainment is planning to release its Justice League movie within the next few years. In a Variety article detailing the studio's forthcoming plans for its DC properties, a 2015 date is mentioned as a target to get the comic book team - featuring Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman - together on the big screen for the first time.   Following the box office success of The Avengers earlier this year, Warner Bros announced that Gangster Squad screenwriter Will Beall had penned a script for a Justice League blockbuster.  Warner Bros film group president Jeff Robinov revealed that plans for its superhero movie slate will be announced after the release of The Dark Knight Rises.  "My hope is that over the next month or so we'll be ready to lay out the plan for the next DC movies," he told the Los Angeles Times.  Christopher Nolan Dark Knight Rises director Christopher Nolan recently disclosed that he will not have any involvement in the Justice League movie or the proposed Batman reboot.  "It was a conversation we had," Robinov said. "Obviously anything you can get Chris involved in is great."  A Justice League feature was previously in the works with Mad Max director George Miller at the helm. The cancelled project would have starred Armie Hammer as Batman, DJ Catrona as Superman and Megan Gale as Wonder Woman.  Following the release of Dark Knight Rises on July 20, the next DC Comics adaptation to hit the big screen will be the Henry Cavill-led Superman revamp Man of Steel.

Retro Red Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 If you're that way inclined, you can get it from torrents. Otherwise check Amazon and the like for decent prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members BigJag Posted July 14, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted July 14, 2012 I have a stack of wrestling DVDS that I have never watched. I just can't watch videos .Not a big fan of watching stuff over the web either. Torrents can be a pain. I just prefer to have my viewing scheduled by TV companies it seems.Silly I know. People are always lending me stuff to watch. I remember it took me about six months to watch a video of one of the early UFC tournaments. Just don't seem to find the time.

Paid Members BigJag Posted July 21, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted July 21, 2012 After the dissatisfaction of Dark Night Rises. Which of the animated films does Bane have a major role in? I may track one down tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Bellenda Carlisle Posted July 22, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted July 22, 2012 It's not a huge role but Bane is one of the several bad guys in Justice League: Doom. You should watch it anyway because it's fucking wicked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
