Justice League: Doom

[madmarva]

Really enjoyed JL: Doom. It's an old-school plot — a fusion of Mark Waid's Bable and Alex Ross' Justice mini series — but with some really great work by the late Dwayne McDuffie to give each character their own little action sequence against a villain. It's got equal parts action and character with each of the heroes getting standout moments. It's a super-hero team-up done incredibly well. Warners would be lucky to get as good a script for a JLA movie if the stars should ever align for them to make one.

I think this one will please the kids as well as older fans.

The voice cast is fantastic, bringing back favorites like Tim Daly, Kevin Conroy, Susan Esienberg, Michael Rosenbaum among others. And Nathan Fillion really did a nice job with Hal Jordan, whose arc had a good bit of emotion.

The special features are much like the ones on other DC Blu-Rays, but there is a really fine tribute to Dwayne McDuffie, who passed away last year.

The preview for Superman vs. the Elite, which comes out the summer, looks very good. It's based on Adventures of Superman 775.

Yeah, I liked it too.

I didn't care for the look of Bane 1 Bit. Fail.
.... Also Superman's "S" Bothered me.


However, this cartoon was Fantastic.
Loved the intro Battle with the Royal Flush Gang ....., and the Interaction with Flash and Batman.


These Voices should never change imo.

[Earth 2 Chris]

Yeah, Bane looked way too effeminate. Superman's eyes bothered me a bit more than his "S". But other than that, I really enjoyed it.

Agreed on the voice casting.

Did you notice several of the villains had their belly buttons showing, with the oddest one being Bane.

I think marva's first post nails it.

This movie was all about "the battles"... I hated the action in the GL
animated movie... but my one criticism I had for DOOM actually worked
in its favor regarding the fight scenes....summed up in that DOOM
was alarmingly simple in plot, but the characterizations down to the
way they played into the battle styles was great.

[MIB41]

Yeah. I've heard a lot of good things about this. I think I'll pick it up tomorrow. Great reviews.

Mine had the same problem. I went to grab a copy on Wednesday and they said they were sold out. The Target employee said they only got like 6 copies. The DC higher ups claimed that most of their dvd's didn't make enough money quick enough to do sequels to WW or a Batgirl story are now not sending enough copies? Or is it Target not ordering enough? Luckily I had another Target fairly closeby and found one. Overall, I enjoyed it,

I always buy mine the day of release at Best Buy or the FYE at the mall. I actually sometimes debate whether to buy a physical copy every time but since it was Legion of Doom related it had to go in my permanent collection.
