The next-to-last season of Justice League was Cadmus-heavy, and I think they probably wanted to avoid that. As far as the funeral, JL did the hero-laden version in the season 2 episode "Hereafter," and I could see where they might feel repetitive doing it again.Tom Fosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13796424725228769265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13848504.post-15813361010585079062007-10-23T14:29:00.000-05:002007-10-23T14:29:00.000-05:00Nice to see I wasn't the only one to enjoy it.

The only part that really bugged me was Lex shooting Mercy as it just felt like it was there to further prove its PG-13 rating (which was confirmed by the commentary track).<BR/><BR/>You pretty much said everything I say to justify the movie to my pessimistic friends. If a die-hard Superman fan can enjoy it for what it is, then is it really all that bad?<BR/><BR/>On a final note, I still think they could have worked Cadmus in somehow. Wasn't the project in Timm's previous cartoons? If so, it would have been familiar enough to work in Superman/Doomsday, even if it wasn't analogous.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13848504.post-81074066258769482242007-10-23T11:17:00.000-05:002007-10-23T11:17:00.000-05:00Yeah, there are no other superheroes in it. There ...Yeah, there are no other superheroes in it. There are a couple of scenes where cameos would be nice (the funeral especially), but I can understand why they'd leave them out. It would have required explanation beyond what the movie was trying to accomplish if they included other superheroes. <BR/><BR/>As far as rentals: dude, Netflix.Tom Fosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13796424725228769265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13848504.post-5208748970450792812007-10-23T10:51:00.000-05:002007-10-23T10:51:00.000-05:00Makes sense, though.

In a story about Superman, without the context of the era from which the original comics came, any appearance by the Justice League (especially the Giffen era, which was lacking a lot of the characters that people consider mainstays - Batman, Flash, Wonder Woman, etc.) would be confusing at best. <BR/><BR/>That aside, though, I really want to see this. However, it doesn't seem that any video place acquired rental copies - at least not in my area. I don't know if I'll like it enough to buy it, but I can't rent it either. Bah.<BR/><BR/>-MMatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05910006954704396801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13848504.post-67743628817513321342007-10-23T09:28:00.000-05:002007-10-23T09:28:00.000-05:00So I can only assume that Booster, Beetle, Ice, Fi...So I can only assume that Booster, Beetle, Ice, Fire and Guy aren't in it?<BR/><BR/>Well, boo.SallyPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05592635194271250605noreply@blogger.com
