New DC animated movie

Great news. Thanks rnewbz.

Are you trying to defend the movie version, or are you just tossing out a factoid?

I liked Ultimate Avengers but I wasn't defending the movie with that statement.

I was saying that I think that the Ultimates is a very OVERRATED comic book. I hate the changes that were done to the characters. I hate the designs of the Ultimate characters. I hate the fact that it has turned into complete liberal garbage where as the poster Dread has given it the nickname: "America Is Always Evil: The Series". I find it completely tasteless that they killed off Ultimate Laura Bush, the toppling of the Statue of Liberty in the style of toppling of the statue of the tyrant Saddam Hussein.

I hate the Ultimates! It pisses me off even more that I find this garbage to be even better than New Avengers. Hell the reason why I liked Ultimate Avengers is because they put in some 616 influences into it.

There I said it

Just One More Fight

Welcome back to another edition of ATR.

First off, I want to thank everyone who wrote in last week about my hard drive problems. The issue is still ongoing, but I appreciate your input.

Now then, down to business…

Our Worlds At War

By now, I’m sure most of you caught this little nugget over at World’s Finest:

At the moment, I'm writing a direct-to-video animated adaptation of Darwyn Cooke's New Frontier epic. It will be feature length, rated PG-13 and Bruce [Timm] will be Executive Producer. So far, it's been nothing but fun... a chance for me to revisit my youth and the Starro era.
This information originally came from an interview with Stan Berkowitz. Within a day or so, the above quote was pulled. But the genie was already out of the bottle and it’s appeared on several news sites…

So, why bring it up now?

For starters, Warner Brothers is said to be “on the warpath” over this, as this information wasn’t supposed to be announced for several months. The New Frontier animated feature is said to be in such an early stage that it hasn’t even been decided if they’ll be using the Timm style guides or basing the character designs on Cooke’s original art.

And there’s more…

While Timm is executive producing the New Frontier, he is also rumored to be working on TWO additional direct-to-DVD animated features. One is said to be a Justice League film, which may be the long rumored story that bridges the gap between Justice League and Justice League Unlimited. The other is said to be another Superman animated feature. After the Brainiac Attacks travesty, Timm will supposedly be more actively involved with the next one. We can only hope…

Anyway, the word is that Warner Brothers is going to be cranking out several DC based direct-to-DVD animated films over the next couple of years, possibly as many as 3 or 4 a year. There’s talk of another one based on The Batman and if Teen Titans: Trouble in Tokyo performs well in the fall, then more Titans movies might also be in the works. Additionally, I’m told that the Justice League animated feature may be ready for release as soon as 2007.

One last thing, the first season of Justice League Unlimited and the second season of Batman Beyond are rumored to have a December 2006 release date…

But you're not a big fan of Ultimate/Elseworlds stuff though, are you?

Pretty much

Not enjoying All-Star DC either. All-Star Superman is good, but it doesn't feel like Morrison's best. All-Star Batman and Robin is just plan crap. I have a feeling that Johns's All-Star project won't be that great either.

But the Ultimates pisses me off. So...god...damn...over...rated And I find it so damn stupid that they keep canceling the series replacing it with another one within a matter of months. Instead of ending Ultimates vol. 1, couldn't have they just have kept it going with the current story. Same with Loeb's Ultimates vol. 3

Ultimate Spider-Man isn't that bad. Hate Ultimate X-Men and Ultimate Fantastic Four.

I can't judge DC's Elseworlds though on account that they are individual stories, with some really good (Batman: Child of Dreams, Kingdom Come,) and some really bad (The Dark Knight Strikes Again).
