Guess this means I need to go binge watch the first two seasons. Been in my watchlist on Netflix for a while.
I'm so hyped for this, I can't wait for season three to finally drop =D Now hopefully I'll be able to get all three seasons on Blu-Ray =)
I didn't realize how much people loved it. between this thread and it blowing up in my Facebook feed, the hype is huge.
The hype is worth it, too. Easily the best DC Animated show since B:TAS. I'd even say it's on par with most episodes of that show. It was uniquely mature with its content. I can't contain how happy this makes me. So whelmed.
Ugh God, it's one thing for them to shoehorn Batman in the movie. That's alright, Batman helps sell an unfamiliar concept, that's just how things are. But FUCK I am so tired of Jason O'Mara's god awful voicing of The Bat. It is by far one of the worst voice castings DC Animation has ever made. And like, you clearly still have Kevin Conroy at your disposal, ready and willing to keep voicing Batman for you guys, as he does in other projects. Idk why they're so committed to using him for post-Flashpoint movies. PLEASE just switch him out. Damn.
I could be wrong, but I think a lot of the recent DC Animated stuff has a predominantly older audience, so maybe they're catering to that. Of course, making your movie "grittier" or "edgier" doesn't automatically make it better (see: Killing Joke).
They've been aimed at adults for a while but just started at R with Killing Joke. It's just unnecessary. I don't know many people who watch animated movies for gore and grit. I would love to see them just give the entire animated division to Bruce Tim and go back to the JL cartoon style or at most Gods and Monsters level, which was edgy but not obnoxiously so.
Gods and Monsters and the rest of the animated films have all had way more violence and blood than I thought they could for pg13. No need for R unless the language calls for it, which it didn't in Killing Joke. It just felt forced.
Me neither. I know I wont be able to share them with my kids for a long time, but we have seasons and seasons of the Bruce Timm universe while I wait for them to grow.
I get your point, but it's sure a hell of a lot better for kids than anything in the newer animated films. I did grow up watching Terminator and Aliens as a little kid and grew up fine, so Joker and Harley in the cartoon won't be an issue.
