Watchmen & Crisis On Infinite Earths Animated Movies Announced
|
I'm pretty sure watchmen as an R rated animated watchmen movie was announced in 2017 and after a quick google searc i'm right it was even called "faithful", so by the time it releases it will have been 7 years since the original announcemnt and release: https://www.cbr.com/watchmen-r-rated-animated-movie/
I wonder what direction they'll go with Crisis on infinite earths, an adaptation of the comic with liberties taken like their other direct to movies? Or will they actually go out and have team ups from the different DC cartoons, now that would get me excited as hell, I don't care if they can't get the VAs back, I'll take that over a generic adaptation, what makes crisis cool is seeing the different characters you've loved in a mission together. if you don't know them it can be a fun story but not nerdgasm fun. I mean, it would just have more impact to have DCAU Supergirl die instead of a "new" supergirl for this movie. Have superboy from the failed legion of superhero cartoon set up as Superboy Prime instead of a generic superboy. Those would give you some emotion since you actually watched them before and they had a story. They're shows have been dead for years, no reason not to do something creative with them. |
The Crisis movie will be part of the recent DC animated movie universe that began with Superman: Man of Tomorrow, Supergirl featured in a recent movie about the Legion so I expect if they're being faithful, they'll kill off the version from that film

Anyone remember when the live-action movie came out and all people could talk about was Manhattan's dong?

Didn’t even know there was much of a “verse” with these animated film.

The first three are so good, especially the Long Halloween. I would’ve loved to see more comic adaption movies rather than another reset but oh well

Spoilers for the third Crisis movie

Much as I loved the 90s Marvel kiddie comics that adapted and expanded upon the 90s FOX X-Men/Spider-man cartoons, the final issue of the X-Men tie-in went with the whole "universe-reset" angle and suggested that event's aftermath somehow created 1963's "The X-Men #1". Com'on, man! If comic book brass wants to get serious about all this (ridiculous) Earth-Twenty-O-Zillion indexing, then they need to just assign every new print or media project a number from the beginning and say "this is what you are, deal with it. You'll only be able to introduce new earths inside your respective storytelling when we tell you what it is." And, if not, then let's not even bother. |
So the Tomorrowverse is just the rebooted earth from the previous DC animated nu52 movies and it only had basically 6 stories told of that universe before it reset and now everything is only one universe going forward again.
It feels comic accurate to reboot every 5 years, again while cool to see some cameos it would've been better to just have what I preivously wrote, the actual heroes from previous cartoons show up: Spoiler:
I understand the difficulty of making Crisis on infinte earths in live action with a TV budget but animation shouldn't have had that problem. I stopped looking forward to these movies so long ago, hell DC animatino just doesn't excite me, the best years are long past gone, even the same creative teams can't come up with something better. |
Here's some screencaps:

Also for TT: https://x.com/wil77073/status/1813302561853825035 Never understood why anyone at DC/WB would want to "kill" their whole Multiverse concept to the point where it discourages drawing from it in future storylines (not the first time they'd done this either). A multi-verse reserve pile seems to work REALLY well for TMNT, MCU, Spider-verse, etc. these days. And DC more-or-less invented the idea way back as a means to explain all their buy-ups of previously unrelated IPs like Captain Marvel/Shazam. It's like their distinct contribution to comic book history. |
Part one was great
Part two was eh Part three was good |
It's obvious the universes don't stay erased (for B:TAS to make sense, Batman Beyond still happens which is 40+ years later).
Also the next DC animated movies are standalone again, with Batman Aztec, a sequel to the Batman Ninja movie, etc. So they're making more standalone universes in movies again. This is not even counting the cartoons like the upcoming Batman Caped Crusader or the already airing My Adventures with Superman or the Harley-Quinn show. |

For Teen Titans, that ending almost makes sense as the original finale’s last shot is Beast Boy running into a light answering an emergency call from Robin. But then there is the Trouble in Tokyo DTV movie and the crossovers with the TT Go! reality. At best, just consider this DTV project a casserole of cameos to get easy publicity, which has worked. |
YT probably does this more justice than the actual movie:

That first batman cartoon is meant to be part of the Superfriends continuity right? So are the Ruby Spears Superman cartoons?
