He was pretty cool. Superman beat the living s*** out of him, though. And he was a total government tool.

 

[Hush]

Yeah well that is pretty much exactly what he is in Public Enemies.

 

[RogueDK]

Tonight's ep of Batman: The Brave & The Bold was good, campy fun!

I'm not a huge fan of Bat-Mite by a longshot but he worked well in something this light-hearted.

I particularly loved the parody of a parody that they did from the old Duck Twacy/Dick Tracy cartoon short with Daffy Duck. Those old enough to remember that one will easily recognize the reference with BM.

I enjoyed the different style Bats: Kelley Jones, Frank Miller , Nolan Batman and the Adam West one.

Also, I loved the way that they addressed fanboys of the other Batman incarnations in that comic convention segment that are opposed to this latest one.

Can someone please tell me why Mr. Freeze was referred to as Mr. Zero? Did I miss something?

All in all, not a great episode but fun and endearing to a point.

Unfortunately. But it does lead to the awesome, non-government-tool version in Captain Atom: Armageddon, so it's okay.

I caught the Duck Tracy reference. I was born in the 90s but I remember seeing that in reruns.
Mr. Zero was what they used to call Mr.Freeze.
Did you catch Bruce Timm as the Joker at the Con?

Very cool. Good to know there are younger generations that appreciate those oldies from WB.

I saw that but did not make the connection right away. AWESOME.

 

[Anubis]

AW s**t, I missed it. Now I gotta get up early in the morning to try and catch the rerun. And I've already started my evening drinking.

Heh heh. Yeah that was kinda funny.

 

[Dread]

For the record, I still am watching BATMAN: BRAVE AND THE BOLD. Some of the episodes are hit or miss, but it's a fun guilty pleasure. The Bat-Mite episode was a lot of fun, one of Dini's better episodes of the last few years.

This may already have been posted elsewhere here but the trailer for the dtv Batman/Superman PUBLIC ENEMIES is now up. The style is very Ed McGuiness looking.

Methinks DC wants to have their version of a fanboy pleasing HULK VS. type project, and I guess you can't go wrong with a BATMAN/SUPERMAN feature in the style of the first arc from the WORLD'S FINEST relaunch. The Ed McGuiness style looks good, and gosh, so many villains. Even Bane!

Looks good. To be honest DC could do worse then wanting to mimic what made HULK VS. rock. Which was, gasp, slavish nods to the fans and what they want. Least so long as it didn't involve Hulk losing to Thor.

I am curious who they are casting for this; if DC was going for pure fanboy joygasm, Conroy & Newburn would be locks. But who knows; they do like seeing these as more separate features by avoiding actors they cast in the past. Granted, when they smelled "cash in" for GOTHAM KNIGHTS, they recast Conroy as Batman to try to cement it anyway. Hell, Newburn got to play Superman for a few episodes in THE BATMAN's last season.

 

[Panthro]

I wouldn't mind having Tim Daly come back for Superman in Public Enemies. I would hate to have for "Brainiac Attacks" to be his last go around as Superman's voice.

I swear I was about to post the same thing; I prefer Daly's voiceovers more than I ever did Newbern. Add in Clancy Brown and that would bring the trio full circle.

For me it's a 90s thing I guess...

Yeah, that would be cool to get Clancy Brown back as well. And add in Dana Delany as Lois Lane.

I wouldn't be opposed to hearing Jonathan Frakes voice Superman either.

 

[Sawyer]

What I really want is for Bruce Timm and co. to give STAS the Batman: Gotham Knights treatment. I'd love for a new Supes series in the DCAU continuity.

Not in terms of ****** redesigns... I just want another ****ing Superman series.

But you had to pick that movie to make your point? You could have said WW, JL: Frontier, etc. but you didn't.
You're the one that made it so specific and since you brought that particular title up, the redesigns from that incarnation go without saying. No need to be touchy.

Uhh... because neither of those were relevant to what I was saying.

I want a sequel series to STAS. Gotham Knights was a sequel series to BTAS.

No, it wasn't. It was a loose prequel to The Dark Knight.

Yeah, it was.

From your link:

Batman: Gotham Knight (バットマン: ゴッサムナイト Battoman: Gossamu Naito) is a 2008 animated direct-to-DVD anthology film of six animated short films set in-between Batman Begins and The Dark Knight.



The DCAU movies are stand alones at best. The continuity isn't in time with the 90s series.

Again... not a movie. Series.

And, yes, it was in continuity with BTAS, STAS, Batman Beyond and Justice League.

 

[Anubis]

The fact that Killer Croc was a dude with a jet pack should be proof enough. Stop using Wikipedia. It's "facts" can often make you look like an idiot.

I'm talking about Gotham Knight the movie, not STAS.

Okay, once again, for those of you that cant see that this isnt rocket science...
