Dana Delany and Tim Daly will reprise their roles from Superman: The Animated Series with an all-new DVD movie from Warner Bros. Animation later this year.

In Superman: Brainiac Attacks, the Man of Steel faces a combined threat from his two biggest foes, Lex Luthor and Brainiac. But perhaps even more daunting will be getting in touch with his feelings for Lois.

Raph's Girl note: Yay!! Tim Daly is back as Supes! :D

Now this is quite encouraging news, Daly has'nt graced the VA duties of Superman since the animated series ended with the immortal "Legacy", I already see compliants that its' not George (whos' been in the trenches voicing Superman ever since), but meh, I always felt Daly, or this series for that matter, ever got the same amount of dues that Batman and JLU have been getting, so a movie that restores us to the classic days of this series is always welcome.

My only nitpick is that Braniac has been a little overdone latley in both JLU and hes' appearing in Smallville. Lets' have the final showdown with Darksied already, and have Lois uncover Clarks' secret.

[Doppleganger]

Wait...didn't they already do Lex and Braniac in JLU?

[Duke]

I'm confused. Is this going to take place somewhere after the merger of Lex & Braniac or is it going to take place between Superman & JLU?

Between it looks like.

[Turtledude2k3]

no matter what, i'll be watching it..

[Duke]

Between it looks like.Yeah that's what i thought and it's kind of makes it disappointing. I mean JLU already had such a huge brianiac/lex teamup that i'm just not sure we need another one. But i'm a huge fan of Superman TAS so i'll definitely get this when it comes out. Now that i think of it, I guess this will work the same way Mystery of Batwoman did.

I always felt Daly, or this series for that matter, ever got the same amount of dues that Batman and JLU have been getting, so a movie that restores us to the classic days of this series is always welcome.I totally agree w/ Superman TAS not getting enough respect.

[Doppleganger]

I kind of feel that they are overusing Braniac. I mean Darkseid, Lex Luthor, and let's not forget Richie (Static Shock). :roll:

[malignant]

I loved Superman TAS....along with Batman TAS and JLA. I wish theyll were more toons just like them, but we'll probably never see it again...

I'll be picking this up, for sure.

[ZariusTwo]

Well...screw that, the film's pants according to most reviews. :cry:

When S: TAS Luthor is reduced to this, it's no wonder the World's Finest website is going on hiatus... (not that I'm not glad, if you can't stand change in the industry, get out of it. For good.)

[Raph's Girl]

Just got word that this film will be airing on Cartoon Network on June 17th...before they release it on DVD on June 20th.

[Jester]

Yeah...taped it watched it...wasn't impressed. The fact that they couldn't land Clancy Brown or Corey Burton to reprise their roles as Lex and Brainiac was one strike against it. (I also think they re-cast Mercy) The other major strike against it is that it seems to throw the established Superman: The Animated Series continuity right out the window. That and a lack luster story make it an ok movie for people not really fans of the series but a real bomb for die hard fans (I'm kinda in the middle, so I kinda enjoyed it...but not much)

[ZariusTwo]

So I watched Braniac Attacks a few horus ago on torrents...and it's just as bad as people make it out to be. Action set peices were as good as you can easily make them (The Batman writer's main strength seems to be this), but as for the nonsensical plot and decisions to use the animation and characters of Superman: TAS..Batman and Robin just got a vindication.


Batman and Robin

[Shadow_Ranger]

I love the DCAU more than you guys will ever know, but I'm sorry this was one of the worst ideas to come out of the WB (Minus Batman and Robin.) So who greenlighted this suck fest? That person has a date with my foot!

Why is it Super-man, the man of steel*Or whatever his title is* has, in my opinion, by far the lamest arch nemsis. I mean really how threatening is some panzy in a suit? Any super hero or even normal person could kick his ass. Yet he is supposed to be threatening.

The whole point of modern day Luthor is he's supposed to be untouchable by the law unless he really screws up (displayed in Loeb's Superman/Batman comic), so noone really can do to him what should be done. Not to mention Luthor has access to various amounts of Kryptonite and devices.

And yeah, any one person can kick his a**, then have his families murdered, and his existence taken off record.

Golden Age and Silver Age "Mad Scientest" Luthor was a much deadlier and more direct opponent, it's a shame "Infinite S*ite" had to restore Luthor to his "corrupt buisnesman" version again because of Alex's interferance.

[Raph's Girl]

Saw some of it today...I didn't see the beginning but I'll DL the entire thing later cuz Im interested as to why Lois Lane was dying....anyways.... Whoever they got to voice Lex Luthor...they should never use him again...just aint the same without Clancy Brown...

One of my fave scenes:
Random guy: "Look up in the Sky!"
Female firefighter: "It's Superman!"
Lex Luthor: "Yay!" :lol:

And upon seeing that scene on Youtube:

Lex Luthor: "Im so happy! No wait!...Im sad!"
Mercy: "Sir?"

Lex Luthor: "Altho you can't beat ring side! Mercy! Make me some popcorn!" :lol:

Ah well that does make him cooler. Superman just needs to kill his ass. Lets see him kill someones family when he isnt alive to give the order.
