DC and Marvel Animation
So it is a thread about fans of DC and Marvel Animation or people who watch it.
http://img3.imageshack.us/img3/7489/presentationb.jpg I watched Batman TAS (+new adventure), Superman TAS, Batman Beyond, Static Choc, Project Zeta when I was small; it was cool. Well I don't watch every episode of course ha! I don't like Project Zeta so much. I was bit bored about animes and mangas, so I begin to watch Justice League Of America! I watched 2 seasons now, and this serie is amazing. Every episodes are good, no one is bad in my opinion (alway a story in 2 part). Characters are very cool, with strong females characters like WonderWoman and HawkGirl. Batman is very funny sometimes :heh:. The last episode of Justice League is awesome, focused on Hawkgirl. I will watch Justice League Unlimited soon! It's nice to discover something new, different from animes/mangas. America have a lot of good cartoons (France do sh*t animation). Well new super heroes cartoons are a bit irritating with this childish design, like Teen Titans, Legion of Super Heroes, The Batman... It looks like anime/manga... They should do another kickass DC serie again! http://img3.imageshack.us/img3/3222/marvelanimation.jpg About Marvel animation, I watched Spider-man (I don't speak about first series because I don't watch it :D), X-men (1992), X-men evolution, Wolverine and the x-men. I love Spider-man and X-men (1992). X-men Evolution was a bit disappointing, Rogue (ultra sexy :D) and Gambit were amazing in 1992 serie. Currently I'm watching Spectacular Spider-man. The chara design is a bit "strange", look "kiddie", but it's a very good show in my opinion. The "smallville" of Spider-man? :heh: There are fights, romance, friendship. Oh and the OP is always in my head :D. |

Growing up, I leaned towards A-list DC animation more so than Marvel, visually and narratively I found them to be a bit more hit and miss. X-Men is excellent of course.
But for me you can't beat the triumvirate of Batman, Superman and Justice League. Great cartoons but also really good television in general. |

True but still Superman the series back int he 90's was awesome
I grew up with Batman and Superman as well as Spider-man TAS and X-men I love the 90's cartoons, they're not so restricted to rules as cartoons are now You should also check Spider-man Unlimited D: which I didn't see in your list up yet However back on topic, yes Justice League is very amazing as a cartoon, as expected lol There is good interaction with characters and good focus XD I love it and boo that it ended Marvel seems to be leaning more to anime style now, the last series I followed was the new FF4 series which was very anime-wise but it was so kiddish >.>; I wish they would remake more in the old style |
No I didn't watch Spider-man Unlimited, is it good? Because I saw a website which say it's very bad :heh:. There is a Spider-man 3D too, I watch one episode, I stop it... So ugly!
At begining I prefer Marvel, but after watching a lot of DC animation, I prefer DC. Characters/plot seems more "mature" no? About Justice League, yeah there are some interaction like Batman x WonderWoman and HawkGirl x Green Lantern :D. Quote:
I prefer the old style too, characters seems more mature! I like Superman but I prefer Batman. |
My all time favourite will always be Spyder-man, the animated series. :D

I co-sign with everything mentioned above plus X-Men and X-Men: Evolution.
I heard from MARVEL fans that the Spectacular Spiderman cartoon from last year was surprisingly good, despite the more kiddie animation. Any truth to this? Quote:
Spoiler:
And did anyone have access to Wolverine and the X-Men series? It was only on digital cable so I couldn't see it. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...enanimated.jpg |
It's a good show. The chara design is kiddie, but the story is really interesting, and comedy is fun. You should try an episode.
When I saw screeshots of Spectacular Spider-man, I didn't want to watch it, but I try an episode, and it was very good! You should try it! Spectacular, Spectacular Spider-man! Spectacular, Spectacular Spider-man! PS: Mary Jane is cool *___*, black cat too. |
Coincidentally I recently started watching Justice League on and off as well, I'm on the last season of Unlimited. I grew up with Batman: TAS and I read somewhere that Justice League continued that Batman's story so I checked it out, and it is indeed very good.
My all time favorite was Spider-Man: TAS, though, and probably always will be. I remember rushing home from second grade to catch the latest episodes, lol. It is a damn shame it had to end where it did, they could have continued the story but for economic reasons I believe it had to be cancelled. |
I also watched Batman TAS, X-Men and Spiderman in the 90s as a kid, great shows, especially Batman which I now own on DVD. Justice League is pretty good too, one of my favorite episodes has to be the 2 parter called “Injustice for All” where Lex assembles a group of villains but doesn't include the Joker who shows up anyway. I love the interaction between Lex and the Joker in these episodes as well as how the rest of the villains are creeped out/afraid of the Joker.
I also like X-Men Evolution and Batman Beyond, especially the awesome movie Return of the Joker. I will also admit that I like Teen Titans (It helps if you can overlook the clumsy attempts at anime style expressions.) I haven't really watched any of the most recent shows, just from the ads I find the new Ironman show visually unappealing, I haven't watched anything Batman related past Batman Beyond and I haven't watched a Spiderman show since the 90s. |
About Wolverine and the X-men, well it's not a bad show, but I don't really like the chara design. Look at this Rogue, she's not sexy at all! It's like Spectacular Spider-man, a little bit "kiddie", but it's entertaining...
My favourite hero was Spider-man but more I watch Batman' show more I like him (I have the tape: Mask of the Phantasm in my home :D)... But Spider-man is funny :heh: and Felicia is hot. Spider-man show (90' serie) was good but I didn't like clone arc... If you like Spider-man, you should try Spectacular Spider-man, very funny and entertaining show. About Justice League, my best episode is "Star-Crossed": treason, love, fight, friendship, sadness, there is everything in that episode. A show which bring together heros of DC is great, Marvel should do it. But I don't know if it can be as good as Justice League. Yeah "return of joker" was really good, I love Batman Beyond! Terry is cool :D. Teen Titans, I watch 3-4 episodes and I don't like it; but perhaps it's a good show... Well and these heros are not very charismatic in my opinion (I hate Robin :heh:)... |

Supes is also weak to magic and can be knocked out by beings such as Mister Miracle, Darkseid, and -insert Forever People name- @Albafica: The only thing I hated about Terry Mcguiness is definitely he's no Bruce Wayne. Biologically he's Bruce's son but he doesn't inherit his father's genius. |
Quote:
About the biological thing between Terry and Bruce, yeah... I don't really like this revelation :rolleyes:. |
Does anyone think those studios will have the guts to faithfully animate frame-by-frame, scene-by-scene from the edgier comics where we have gore and sexual themes going on anytime soon ?
I, for one, suggest they have a Batman episode based on the timeless "Killing Joke" to test drive audience reception before proceeding. PS :- Blackest Night is an instant classic in my book now with Dick "Batman" Grayson up aganist his Parents with the Drakes joining in the fun. Oh the hilarity. |
No I don't think they can do it. Look at X-men 1992, Wolverine can't kill an human :heh:. There is a lot of censure in USA no?
About "killing joke, I don't know if the audience would be good enough... But I really want to see this comics animated. Why not in a movie or OAV? |
Marvel cartoons animation at times doesn't feel like it doing what it needs to do, but after seeing the HULK VS and Wolverine and the X-men and their projects they're improving.
But still since the old 80's re-run of the blue Batman and Super Friends, pretty much DC's animation style has grown and evolved on me through the years. |

It's okay for DCAU or Marvel Animation to put gore and sex(or implied sex) on Direct-to-DVD's. But mainstream doesn't sound good. What about the kids who'd watch them? They are too young for sensitive issues and themes like violence, sex, poltics and what else. Maybe 8 years from now they can search for that kind of material but definitely not when they are twelve year olds. P.S. Ohhh the Graysons are back from the dead :) I hope Dick's will is as strong as Bruce Wayne :) |

Blue Batman haha :D, nostalgic. I have a tape about it in my home!
Oh and there is a new Batman telecasted in France: "Batman l'alliance des héros", "Batman the brave and the bold" in America. Someone watch it? It seems funny... I want to watch WonderWoman 2009, I will try to get it! |
