Say, isn't there a trailer or a teaser trailer of the Death of Superman straight to DVD cartoon? A friend told me he saw it when we were talking on the phone but I never got around to looking for it, confirming it was out there and then I forgot about it...

In non related news at all I picked up the third and final season of Harvey Birdman Attorney at Law today. What, Apache Chief and Black Vulcan of Super Friends are in it, joint counts lol!

Found it and while I'm at work I can't have the volume blasted it looks really good. The same style as New Frontier too. Can't wait to see what the Teen Titans Judas Contract one looks like since that will have my homeboy Nightwing lol! In case anyone else hasn't seen the Death of Superman Trailer -

i really enjoyed the story and that pic is prob as close as you're going to get to the art in the actual book. with today's "american anime" trend and whatnot.

07-25-2007, 05:08 PM

Oh man, that looks great! Straight out of the comic. COOKE is the truth. I am so looking forward to this. New Frontier has got to be DC's best comic of the past few years. It came out around the time that everyone was paying attention to Identity Crisis, but New Frontier wipes its ass with Crisis. There's just no way that this can be bad.

This is why me and Zephy are gonna be the two people to repopulate this planet.

New Frontier is my favorite DC story of all time. I still have the original six-issue run and I'm dying to buy Absolute New Frontier. I just can't help but wonder what would have been if this were to have been translated completely. Just imagine, a mini-series of the sort to show off each issue animated.

Even the 70 minute movie will kick all sorts of ass. I just can't wait to see Batman and the Martain Manhunter's first meeting in motion.

Batman: I've been watching you, Mister Jones. I know all about you. Except where you come from. My instincts tell me you're to be trusted, but make no mistake--

It took a seventy-thousand dollar sliver of meteor to stop the one in Metropolis. With you, all I need is a penny for a book of matches.

^^^^ I'm led to believe that Kevin Conroy will NOT be involved in this, correct?

Doogie Howser as Barry is dope. But, we'll have to wait and see. Wally isn't in New Frontier. This story takes place in the Silver Age, so yeah.

Noooooooooooooooo. His voice is good for certain characters but not the bat. Unless its a younger Batman, never picked up the book. Might download it

It is a younger a Batman. This is basically a Year One of the sorts for the DCU.

And the TPBs are available. This is one of those works you have to own. Fuck that downloading shit.

Bruce Timm is actually working on this as well. It's just using Darwyn's designs from the story. Plus, this isn't the first time Darwyn has done animated stuff. He was on staff for the last season of Batman TAS(the crappy one on Kids WB) and he did the intro art for Batman Beyond.

TPBs, shucks, gotta get the Absolute Edition... That's next on my hitlist. After seeing that picture, I am newly motivated to upgrade myself.

The story is more about the transition from the Golden Age to the Silver Age. So in that way it is kind of a Year One-ish because we do get to see how Hal, J'onn, and others start out. But I believe Batman, Superman, and WW were all active for some time before the story begins. Nonetheless, they are still younger than their prime despite the fact that in real life they debuted in the Golden Age.

I kind of look at Robinson/Smith's The Golden Age, The New Frontier, and Kingdom Come as sort of related. Each of those stories is like the definitive DC saga for its respective era: the Golden Age, the Silver Age, and the modern age. And if anything deserves to be called "epic," it's definitely The New Frontier. Unlike that bullshit Crisis bullshit, trying shove the EPICNESS down our throats with every other Claremontesque rambling page.

And not only do I got faith in Timm to deliver the goods, but COOKE himself is personally involved in this project. So even though it's a 70 minute adaptation of a 400 page body of work, I'm sure it will stand on its own merits as an eternal testament to human achievement.

I think I got kind of giddy trying to explain it. It's New Frontier. Everyone should have read this. And yeah, Batman, Supes, and WW were active already.

Funny that you bump this now. I was just reading all about this project. When I didn't know much about it, I was excited. Now, I'm VERY excited. I'm sure it's no surprise to anybody that, to me, this story takes place in the quintessential era of superhero comics, and it's going to be great to finally have Barry and Hal in the DCAU (yes, I realize Hal has appeared in Justice League for about four seconds, but that hardly counts).

The character designs are jaw-droppingly good. They look like they walked right out of the comic. Very classic.

I'm just glad Hall freaking Jordan is being shown as the GL, after the disaster that was John Stewart I'm glad there showing the real Lantern and not some random black dude that was only including to seem diverse or whatever the lame BS reason was.

Will you stfu about this already? It's like as if your mom was raped by some black dude that shoved his cock up your mom's ass and said the oath and his name just so happened to be John Stewart.

Embryo

01-19-2008, 08:43 PM

Nah, I just hate seeing the race card played for no good reason. It also defies the logic and purpose of a team that is supposed to assemble the very best DC heroes when u have someone who isnt even considered the strongest GL. His skin color got him a pass which is a really shitty reason since changes should be built for the integrity of a story and not for some political agenda.

01-19-2008, 08:47 PM

It also defies the logic

Something comic books never followed. You lost when you mentioned logic.

Embryo

01-19-2008, 08:59 PM

Well this case is very different, I mean you would think that when selecting a GL member u would go with the baddest and most powerful lantern there is (Jordan or Kyle)...so u really have to question exaclty why John was chosen considering there r at least 4 more lanterns above him in rank and power. Ive always hated the race card and I dont think it should ever determine the creative direction of a story.

01-19-2008, 09:04 PM

Embryo

01-19-2008, 09:23 PM

So then just use Kyle, every fan already mentioned he was a good enough alternative and as I've said already out of all the lanters that could have been brought up it just so happens to be a black guy. Timm Bruce even admitted the reason he chose John was because he was black and Timm Bruce has a pattern of giving shit about fan imput and just doinh whatever the hell he wants regardless if it makes sense or not.

goodm0urning

01-19-2008, 09:26 PM

I would much rather have John than Kyle, and I'm glad they chose to put John in JL when they could have easily gone with Kyle (whom they introduced in Superman: TAS years earlier).

Embryo

01-19-2008, 09:32 PM

...but that doesnt make sense though, Why would a team that is supposed to represent the best of the best intentionally chose a weaker member? Hal Jordan defines what a GL is and so does Kyle to a lesser extent, I just hate seeing skin color factor in with a creative decision. Then again thats just a list of changes Bruce Timm made for no good reason.....

01-19-2008, 09:40 PM

Kyle doesn't define shit, hence why Hal is back and Kyle is in space.

Embryo

01-19-2008, 09:47 PM

And why John is in midcard limbo were he belongs, Kyle and Jordan were the shits...they were what being a GL is all about. However what this basically comes down to is my lack of respect for the decision behind Johns inclusion and if it wasnt for Timm Bruce officially admitting the reaosn behind Johns push was due to him being black then I might have been okay with it.

goodm0urning

01-19-2008, 09:52 PM

John has been around longer than Kyle. John is cooler than Kyle. John isn't vehemently disliked by a sizable chunk of the fanbase. And yes, John is more socially significant than Kyle. John is all around a better choice than Kyle.

Embryo

01-19-2008, 10:00 PM

John hasn't made as big of a impact as Kyle, John is a virtual unknown while Kyle and Jordan r generally associated as being the GL by a vast wealth of fans both hardcore and casual. Not to mention John is a weakling compared to Jordan and Kyle so his inclusion has little to do with his power which basically defeats the enire purpose of gathering the most powerful heros into a single unite. Like I said, if there was some valid reason for his inclusion I might have tollerated it but since Bruce Timm basically admitted he's only there because he's black....well that just sounds really lame.

goodm0urning

01-19-2008, 10:17 PM

Bullshit. Kyle is a post-Crisis character. John's got easily two more decades under his belt. Two decades is a long time to rack up readers, particularly since he was introduced in the hugely successful and enduringly popular GL run by Denny O'Neil and Neal Adams.

Yeah, Bruce Timm stated that they wanted a diverse group of heroes, which is ONE of the reasons why they chose John. So what? That doesn't even come close to explaining the huge hair you have up your ass about it.

Embryo

01-19-2008, 10:36 PM

Well first off, even in spite of John's nearly 2 decade head start, he's hardly at Kyle level of fame. Kyle much like Jordan defined what a GL character is, so its only natural GL is typically associated with being Jordan or Kyle. Kyle rejected Godhood for crying out loud, he had a run as freaking Ion. What memerable story arc or mini-series or comic did John ever have......the one were he was brutally beaten up by supergirl lol.

Second off, I don't appreciate when creators take liberties with timeless characters and story for either there personal or polical agenda's. It doesnt make a lick of sense fo have a weak GL member when u have 2 vastly more powerful GL's that can fill the spot for whats supposed to be a team of the worlds most powerful hero's. The only thing Johns got going for him is that he's black, which is why he will never be as remembered or as adored as Jordan and Kyle. Johns whole placment contradicts the premise of the JL which in turn makes JL=auto fuckup.

goodm0urning

01-19-2008, 10:45 PM

John is better because Kyle blows. End of story, GGPO.

Embryo

01-19-2008, 10:59 PM

meh, John is a forgettable midcard while Kyle and Jordan will always be timless. Doesnt matter though John is a jobber in the comics which is all that really matters. and im so happy he isnt in this movie. Oh and by the way as far as Lantern ranking go is something like this: Hal Jordan, Kyle, Senistro, Guy Gardner, Allen Scott then....hmmmm debatable at this point.

Embryo

01-20-2008, 12:13 AM

Well he's a lot more timeless then midcard jobber John "why the fuck am I here"Stewart. Did John ever become Ion, did he ever have the run Kyle did..no he didn't. So no matter wat u guys thnk Kyle and Jordan well always be GL...timeless classics.

01-20-2008, 12:19 AM

You do realize those moves were done to make Kyle more popular, right? And it still didn't work. Hal was brought back because the fans hated Kyle.

goodm0urning

01-20-2008, 06:22 AM

Embryo: face it, at this point the only reason you're bagging on John so hard is because he was put in the JL show instead of one of the white Lanterns. Now, I admit that I lost all sense of what is and what isn't in good taste a long time ago, but if I were you, I'd stop repeating this shit before it gets out of hand.

Embryo

01-20-2008, 05:06 PM

Again, the only point I'm making is that John's inclusion was done for a very lame reason and I hate seeing the race/gender card played when it comes to the creative direction of a story. In this case, John's inclusion underminds the concept of gathering a team of what's supposed to be the most powerful hero's when u include a member whom is considerably weaker then the alternative (being jordan and Kyle). If there was some reasonable story driven explanation as to why Jordan or Kyle wasn't avaible I could have accepted it, but much like Hawkgirl's inclusion it was done for the sake of diversity which sounds really silly and wonky if u ask me.
