I got to watch this yesterday. It was damn nice to have the most iconic voice actors back voicing most of these characters, but I gotta say I didn't care much for it overall. It's worth watching once, but it's the first of the DC animated movies that I didn't like much.
It was an improvement over the story arc on which it was based, though.

i thought it was just ok. it was a giant fight between batman/superman and everyone else. not much of a story, but they stuck to what little source material they had to begin with. the mcguinness art designs looked good though.

So what you're saying is if I liked the story arc in the comics I am going to really like the movie then

There's not much story here to be honest! Just a couple of long fights with Bats/Supes against C-list heroes. Definitely the worst DC Animated feature so far. It's only 60 minutes long as well, so feels more like a two-part TV episode than a film. Never mind - anyone know what's next?

crisis on two earths is next.

and this isn't the worst DC animated at all. anyone remember wonder woman?

First, Wonder Woman was awesome.

Second, this was a great movie. It's more action oriented then the other movies, but that isn't a bad thing.

They improved the storyline by having the story make more sense (in the comic, Luther blames Superman for the kryptonite meteor coming to earth, in the movie Superman is framed for murder and the meteor is used as the reason).

Third, it has Powergirl.

My only complaint was Captain Marvel's outfit. For some reason, DC went with the flap look (which was dropped by the creators themselves), which looks awful in animated form.

Yeah, Wonder Woman was great.

And the original story wasn't totally inconsequential - it was the out they used to get Luthor out of the White House, which was pretty significant even if they never really exploited the idea for its full storytelling potential.

Gotta step in here and add my voice to those of the Wonder Woman boosters. That was terrific, period. As for the new DVD, I was just glad to see that the animation designers fixed Ed McGuiness's tendency to draw all of his characters too short and squat.

And if I had one real complaint, it's that the thing is too short. It could have used another twenty minutes easy, and the inclusion of characters like Lady Shiva and cat-Man in all-too-brief appearances left me wanting more. (Yeah, right, like I'll ever get to see Shiva given her proper due on screen...)

Boy, Batman thinks of everything.

have not picked this up yet but plan too if nothing else to see all the fighting supes and bats due with everyone . and espically finaly seeing lady shiva animated if only briefly and i also though the wonder woman dvd did some good to the character for the dvds can only try and improve by each new title

I finished watching it last night and I loved it. It's a very faithful adaption to the first 6 issues of Superman/Batman comics as you could make into a movie without the inner monologues from both characters etc.

It's great seeing Powergirl in all her glory (My girlfriend who doesn't know about PG or her famous chest made a comment when watching it saying "Wow, she has Buoyant breasts doesn't she?? I had to pause the movie to laugh my ass off).

Everyone looked fantastic and the fights were great!! And I was very pleased they kept that great line from the comics by Hiro when asked if his Robot will work by Superman (*Does Power Girl have big b.......).

But best of all is the bringing back of the holy Trinity of voices (Kevin Conroy/Tim Daly/Clancy Brown) to play Batman, Superman and Lex Luthor. I can't tell you how much I hated the guys who did Lex & Superman's voices in the Superman: Doomsday movie!!

Yeah it was a bit short but at least the just over an hour length was well used up!! Well done DC!!

I just got done watching it. It was great. Sure there was a few changes from the comics, but I didn't mind them. Would I have loved an extra 30 min of fights? Yes, the whole bat and super family breaking into the white house to try to save Bats and Supes that would have been epic. But I did not feel like I was missing anything with them not being in the movie. I was very happy with that buy.

No what worries me is the preview for Crisis on Two Earths, first the name is stupid, secondly the voice talent they got is just weird. But what really blew my mind is this.

Billy Baldwin is Batman
James Woods is Owl man

That means that James Woods is the reverse Billy Baldwin.

"No what worries me is the preview for Crisis on Two Earths, first the name is stupid, secondly the voice talent they got is just weird. But what really blew my mind is this."

What's wrong with the title? Calling it Crisis on Earth-Two would make no sense to anyone outside comic readers (and even then, that story's over 30 years old by now), even if that's the obvious story they're using as the basis.

SPOILER: Owlman isn't AU Bruce Wayne...

Well because for one thing it isn't earth 2. It is Earth 3. So that point really doesn't work. I mean using the Crisis title for anything in DC needs to be bigger then the Justice League vs the Crime Society of America.

Hell use that as the title, don't make people think that they are dumbing down Crisis on infinite earths

Yeah he is Thomas Wayne Jr. But thats basically just six of one and half a dozen of the other
