    The Official DC Animation DVD News Talkback, Part 13

    Who cares about extras? How often do you listen to commentaries?? Once? Is there anything they say that you couldn't learn off this forum? I'm just thrilled that we are getting JLU Cadmus Arc earlier than we expected. To me, it is hands down the best thing Bruce Timm and Co. have done so...

    is there a book on Bruce Timm?

    The Modern Masters book is fantastic. Don't forget about the sketchbooks that Mr. Timm does for the San Diego Cons. I've got all of them and they are great!! They include his DC and non-DC stuff and are well worth the money if you can manage to track them down. Good luck! Oh, if you're just...

    TNBA: Lighter than BTAS, or not? And if so, how so?

    If you don't believe that TNBA was meant by the creators to be lighter than BTAS you really should hit Google and do your homework. Again, the creators have said time and again that they had done the dark stuff enough and wanted to do material that was lighter and more fun. TNBA was picked by...

    TNBA: Lighter than BTAS, or not? And if so, how so?

    There's really no question about it, TNBA is lighter than BTAS. The creators have said so on many occasions. It's even on the dvd's, with Dan Riba saying that they felt like they'd done the dark stuff enough and TNBA was an opportunity to do more light-hearted, fun stories. Sure, you have a...

    The Official DC Animated Universe DVD Talkback, Part 12

    Thank the Lord for Jason Hillhouse! So happy that he is one of the few enlightened ones who sees the beauty and magnificence of This Little Piggy. Piggy is by far the best episode of the first season of JLU, more than deserving of commentary. This comic masterpiece rises to the upper echilons...

    Marvel or DC

    I grew up a Marvel only kid. Thought DC stood for Dull Comics. But as I got older I saw that DC has the better, more intelligently written books. Marvel's stuff is more about action and art than character and storytelling. Right now DC has it all over the House of Ideas. Marvel's books need...

    "Superman: The Animated Series - Volume Three" DVD Talkback (Spoilers)

    Is the Easter Egg obvious or well-hidden? Should get this set tomorrow. Really looking forward to seeing Knight Time and Legacy again.

    Are your dVD boxsets in mint condition?

    Dvds are meant to be watched and enjoyed. They aren't investments and you shouldn't really worry about what kind of condition they are in, as long as they play. Personally, I can't stand that 4-foldout accordion case that the BTAS sets came in. I threw them away after fumbling with them a few...

    Best season Of JLU 1 2 or 3 which one?

    Is this even a question? Seasons one and three had some good episodes, but season 2 goes down as the best thing Timm & Co. have ever done. Season 2 by a mile. Not even close.

    Best "Superman: The Animated Series" Episode, Poll #2

    This is another tough poll to choose from. The only ones I didn't like were Blast From the Past, Livewire and Action Figures. The rest are all solid gold in my book. Ended up going with Ghost in the Machine probably because of the heavy influence this one had on JLU. So many great STAS...

    Best "Superman: The Animated Series" Episode, Poll #1

    If it keeps going in order and in 9 episode brackets, Late Mr. Kent will indeed go head to head with both parts of Apokolypse Now. Really hope it can beat that episode so it can get into the finals.

    Best "Superman: The Animated Series" Episode, Poll #1

    Gotta say that even though the episode I picked isn't winning, I am so happy to see such a great turnout for the Superman polls. This show really deserves the attention.

    Was The Batman a hit or a flop?

    The Batman is the show the network execs always wanted. It's a Batman show for the 6-10 year old, toy buying crowd. It's been successful enough to get a 4th season and I think overall it will be thought of as a commercial, if not an artistic, success. Not my cup of tea, but it still does have...
