This new DC universe, how many times are they going to redo it?

That JJ-sculpt looks great. I doubt that Hot Toys could surpass that, same for the Punisher's headsculpt that was released a couple of weeks ago.

I don't go as deep as the rest of you with Superman, but I always preferred him as just a standard human character that could still use his mind to **** with Superman. Going beyond that is silly to me.

I prefer genius businessman Lex Luthor. I do like the green armor that he throws on every now and then, but I don't like it to be the norm. It's fine for the one time every couple years he wants to throw down with Superman in a rare fist fight. However, Lex Luthor with an "S" on his chest is ****ing ridiculous.

Right? Superman TAS / JL / JLU Lex Luthor was perfect.

Clancy Brown animated Lex IS Lex Luthor. My favorite of any tv or movie incarnation by a huge margin.

Yeah fisticuffs with Supes should be limited. He's supposed to have an intellect to match Supe's strength. I always loved that contrast.

That's my best knowledge of him. I still can't believe I didn't peg Clancy Brown's voice.

 

[GeneralZodLives]

The voice-casting from the Batman and Superman animated shows was perfection. It's a testament to how well they were cast that I STILL think of the animated characters when I hear one of the actors on a different tv show or movie.

I never knew until re-watching and just randomly looking this up.

You have to give it up to Andrea Romano, voice director. She did a ton for the series.

There can be only one.......

version of lex and it's the normal human, evil super genius lex... rest is just garbage in my opinion. degrades the character if you ask me having all that stupid extra fluff.

 

[Kibagami]

Clancy Brown is a god damn mother f|_|cking bad @$$. His voice, presence commands respect. If he ran for US president this past election, I would have voted for him.

In case you're wondering, this is what a $700 PF looks like.

I still don't get why we had TWO live action Superman movies after STAS/JLU that still hasn't adapted Clancy Brown's Lex.

I don't either. He is the epitome of what Lex should be. The closest one we've gotten is Lex Luthor Senior in Smallville

I feel like they look back to research, the DCAU is way overlooked! Cause, really it's a great / classic example of comic books to media that works.

I'll probably say something polarizing but I think the cartoons are quintessential DC, even more so than some of the overrated books like Miller's TDKR. Don't get me wrong- I love TDKR, but how many times does it have to be the "gold standard" in these new Batman movies? It was reference to death in Nolan's TDKR and BvS. Enough already.

It's just a great story but to some degree, it's not really definitive of Batman; it's a what if he grew old and what not.

I absolutely agree that TDKR is overrated. It's an interesting story in which Miller threw Batman fans a bone with him defeating Superman (with a lot of help that included a nuke and Kryptonite), and now those fans have circle ****** themselves over it to the point that Batman is now a super genius that can defeat anyone in the DC Universe.

The DCAU has done a better job with stories and characterization than the TV shows and films without question.

I'd always hoped that WB would bring in someone like Bruce Timm or Paul Dini to shepherd the live action DC films. It has to start with people who understand the core of these characters. As long as you have that everything else should fall into place.

 

[Kibagami]

TV shows has done pretty decent job so far. I feel like flash is pretty good. Also, arrow but they dump too much Batman baggage on him. Supergirl is fun but to girly of a show for me to enjoy but I still watch it.
