I'm looking forward to this. The DTV angle is a way to be able to create comic based cartoons while circumventing the network's influence, which is the bane of most TV animation. Granted, of course, the reality is that CN will air any animated DTV, and that American censors are more liberal with violence than sexual references; as in, you can see horrible acts of violence in some of the latest DTV's, but you will never see a bare breast or a sex scene (INVINCIBLE IRON MAN bent over backwards in this regard).
Anyway, the "block style" of animation is simplier to animate and thus allows it to be more fluid within a reasonable cost. The designs of some of Marvel's latest DTV's are more complicated, but have some with some at times glaring animation errors, most notably in ULTIMATE AVENGERS II and especially INVINCIBLE IRON MAN. True, this will remind people of "The Timmverse DCUA" that ended with JLU and everyone will want to insert this in if possible, but I can be willing to let go, so long as it isn't BRAINIAC ATTACKS.
Plus, to be blunt, Marvel's had the new DTV market to themselves the past year and could use the competition. It'll be interesting to see the level of translation DC puts into these.
It looks good so far, I'm definately giving this a whurl. I'm equally curious about NEW FRONTIER and JUDAS CONTRACT.
Oh well. Guess the smackdown alone will be worth it if "Doomsday Sanction" was any indication.
