Superman: Unbound (2013) Animated Movie Thread

[Doc Ock]

I think the design is fine, not amazing but it works. I prefer the design of the comic.

 

[BH/HHH]

I need to hurry up and read Brainiac! Greatly looking forward to this. I've enjoyed every adaption of Superman in the DCU so far. Although its been ages since I saw Doomsday...

Get it read, it's brilliant, one if the best Superman stories I have ever read.

I've enjoyed them all too, Superman Doomsday is good if you not see it for a while, All Star Superman is great, of course they couldn't squeeze the whole story in but what they used captured the heart if the story & the ending was epic. Superman vs the Elite, bar the art (which you actually forget about when you get sucked into the story) is my favourite animated film yet, it answers some questions to why Superman is still relevant and the ending was the best ending I've ever seen in animation.

Agreed, I prefer Superman's physique to be muscular but lean, which he is here. I never understood the body buider buid at all. How is the Clark Kent persona supposed to work when he's Super huge.

P.S Matt Bomer vocie Superman is awesome.

So do I

Am I the only one who likes Superman: Unbound's design for Superman?

Nope I love them, I think they'll look even better when we see them animated.

Superman vs the Elite is fantastic. I think my favorite DCU film is Apocalypse though. I watched Doomsday last night, yep loved it as I did the first time. In many ways it seemed like a continuation of Superman:The Animated Series because of the style.

The only DCU films I have yet to watch is First Flight, Gotham Knight, and the new Dark Knight Returns Part 2.

Ahh I didn't include the Superman/Batman ones I was only talking about the solo Superman films. I actually preferred Public Enemies to Apocalypse but Apocolaypse has the better artwork, I just wish Ironsides or someone better had voiced Darkseid cause I didn't like Andre Braugher.

Watch First Flight it's fantastic, but I'd still skip Gotham Knight.

 

[Longshot777]

Gotham Knight is good if you ONLY watch Crossfire, In Darkness Dwells, and Deadshot and just skip the rest.

Green Lantern: Emerald Knights is also good but I might end up skipping the whole movie. It doesn't really add anything to the whole scope of the DCU features imo.

New Frontier introduces the 1950's superheroes and where it all began

Doomsday introduces the modern Superman

Year One introduces the modern Batman

Return of Black Adam introduces the modern Captain Marvel

Gotham Knight with only those 3 episodes

Wonder Woman debuts her modern origin

First Flight introduces modern GL

Superman vs. The Elite

Public Enemies

Apocalypse

Crisis on 2 Earths introduces the modern JL

Green Arrow (short)

Doom

Flashpoint

Unbound

Under the Red Hood

All-Star Superman

then finally the Dark Knight Returns parts 1 and 2 to finish the up the whole DC Universe Features.

John Noble Looks Back on Fringe, Teases Next Week’s Series Finale

Noble also voices Brainiac in the upcoming DC Universe Animated film Superman: Unbound.

“Doing animation is great fun,” he said. “It’s like a different world; it’s all in the imagination. There’s not even pictures up there to look at. You go and you just create this voice, this character, and later on maybe you have a look at the pictures associated with it. For me, it’s a totally different process than doing a film or stage play or something, but I love it. It’s incredibly intense work, but I love doing voice-over work. At the end of the day, it’s a surprise to see a huge monster with your voice attached to it, but the two feel to me technically in different ball parks.”

 

[Sawyer]

He's done some pretty great voicework on Fringe actually. With Walter, his voice is usually kind and caring and scatterbrained, whereas with Walternate it's hardened and stern as hell. Not to mention, that he plays the roles in a different accent than his own...

 

[BH/HHH]

I hated him in LOTR but his voice sounds good for Brainiac

 

[flickchick85]

Finally saw that featurette. Looks (and sounds) pretty good so far.

 

[Venomfan]

really? i'd say he was the most underated actor in the films. he had a great performance, he really makes you hate the character (now if you don't like the portrayel of the character thats not his fault, that would be the script/direction)

He annoyed me in that film, I thought his whole character was just pointless. It honk the reason I hated him aswell was cause I can't stand to look at that guy, thankfully with this one it's not a problem. He has a cool voice though.

Where??

 

[flickchick85]

Where??

Did a Google search for 'Superman Unbound Video' and found it on a Stana Katic fansite, lol. But its on the TDKR: Part 2 Blu-ray which was just released this week as well.

 

[Pfeiffer-Pfan]

Bruce Timm has stated that he is not involved with this project... Isn't this the first DVD he hasn't worked on?

 

[BH/HHH]

Doesn't bother me cause I'm pretty sure he's been on so many of these in name only anyway. Also James Tuckers behind this one, he gets Superman better than Timm in my opinion.

 

[rogue trooper]

Oustanding trailer! It could just be the best animated Superman film yet! Love the designs and voices!

Well, if Superman: The Animated Series was anything to go by, Timm gets Superman pretty damn well.

I just hope Timm's next project is something he's knee deep in creatively... not just over-seeing.

EDIT:

Here's the trailer...

Impressive Trailer.

 

[Doc Ock]

Freakin awesome fantastic Impressive Trailer!! Brainiac is looking awesome as he should. Pumped for this.

 

[ThePowerCosmic]

Looking great. I bet MOS will boost the sales for this one. Good strategy WB.

 

[Sub-Zero]

It looks cool. Bomer and John noble as brainiac sound great. A lot of people think bomer should be the next batman, and if this makes sense, his superman voice makes me think that's not a bad idea

 

[BH/HHH]

Looks amazing, Bomer sounds awesome, yellow S on the cape, action looks immense, this is all kinds of win!!!

If the films as good as the trailer this is probably going to be the best DC animated film yet.

 

[GREEN =w= DAY]

i remember Matt Bomer being a favorite for a live action Superman around the time they WB was working on Superman Returns, and now here he is 8 years later VOICING Superman!

he sounds good

I love STAS but I think he got Superman wrong way too many times in JL/U. Not saying he doesn't get Superman I just think Tucker gets him more.
