Super Sons - New Animated DTV?

[Pfeiffer-Pfan]

A background painter has listed a Super Sons project on his resume for WB Animation.



I don't know if this will be a DTV or animated series, but since this individual has worked on mostly DTV's for WB, I'm guessing the former.

Any interest in this?

 

[Milk Tray Guy]

I will pass.

 

[Boy Scout]

I will not.

 

[Sawyer]

I actually would prefer this as a series rather than a DTV, but Jon and Damian are a good pair. I’m up for it.

Damien annoys the hell out of me. I hope not.

 

[Sawyer]

Confirmed. And, surprisingly, CG…

 

[Babillygunn]

I will pass.

Really? How does this not get you excited?

admittedly, my hope would be that this is 10 year old Jon. I’d love it if they did that and got Tomasi to write the screenplay.

The concept just doesn't grab me. The Injustice movie, on the other hand...

Lol. Injustice makes me:

The language sounds somewhat surprising for this particular film.
My question is who is writing this? Because if it isn’t Peter Tomasi (whose screenplay for Death of Superman was top notch) then they made the wrong choice. No one writes these characters like him.

 

[Gee]

Damian's hair...

 

[Pfeiffer-Pfan]

Looking forward to this one, although I wish they would have cast someone other than Troy Baker for Batman.

 

[Sawyer]

As one of the few people with much fondness for MTV’s Spider-Man cartoon back in the day, I do like that both this and What If? have that similar (but much improved) style of animation.

 

[vantheman77]

I want that Jon Kent back. DC comics must have someone to find a way to de-age Jon Kent back to his true young age.

 

[Slick]

Damian's hair...

This is gonna be awesome.

That show got a lot of hate back in the day but I liked it.

 

[Mani-Man]

This looks actually super good? What the Hell...i had no hopes for this but man does it look and feel neat.

I want that Jon Kent back. DC comics must have someone to find a way to de-age Jon Kent back to his true young age.

Honestly, yeah.
I mean dont get me wrong, grown up Jon gets more and more profile with the comics, his role as Superman while his father is away, gives the god awful base Bendis set...something.
But i miss the hell out of the Super Sons, especially the young Jon.
The contrast with him and Damian, the way the fit...i hope everyone from DC who decided to break off them and age up Jon, steps on very fresh Legos.

 

[super85]

Animation looks better than what i expected. I Always expect these to look like ****.

 

[Prison Mike]

Hope it comes to HBO Max soon

 

[Babillygunn]

Why do you expect that? I’ve generally been pleased with DCAU films.

 

[super85]

I think the animation in general looks cheap and ugly in the DC Animated films. There are exceptions that look better, but generally they look mass-produced and cheap, like the animation version of CW superhero productions.

The writing is usually also a bit rushed and weak. Like they cant get the pacing right.


This however looks quite nice. And there have been animated DC films that I have enjoyed and even later gotten them on DVD/Bluray.

Starro vs. The SuperSons

 

[Primal Slayer]

Super Sons was decent. Would've preferred if it were a TT movie or YJ bent movie but it was decent.

Spoiler

It made no sense that Lois is the only one who got de-Starrod but it was impossible for everyone else to break free

 

[super85]

Still might give this a chance. I read a interview with the writer and I liked everything he said.
