Recently watched;

Batman: Under The Red Hood

and

Batman/Superman: Apocalypse

Before, I wouldn't have given this type of animated film the time of day but after finishing both, I am left blown away. The voice acting and story lines are better than some Hollywood "blockbusters".

I really couldn't recommend these films enough !

Any other fans here, could you guys recommend me some similar !?
 
I personally didn't like Apocolypse, I can't remember which one the Red Hood was, these days the animated films always seem to be about moving locations constantly and involving dozens of different heroes which just seems boring.

There have been some great ones, I find the write in another hero and go to planet x/y/z for a final showdown to be , too easy, too boring and very weak story lines, because theres basically no limit of variations on that theme, get 4 different super heroes and go to any planet to fight any big boss guy, meh.

Its well done, I like the style, the voice acting as you said is often superb, but that one I thought story wise was very very weak. Other ones theres far more investigation, plot twists with Batman involved, builing a character, good or bad, or working out whose behind a new crime wave. Hmm, was the red hood Robin returned one? That was far better but still not amongst the best.

But I do agree, far FAR better than many if not all hollywood blockbusters of late. The expendables is an embarassing pension scheme for a bunch of way past it actors, horrific start to finish, a LOT of the animated films that come out are story/acting wise leagues ahead of that rubbish.
 
Red Hood is a Robin based episode, where Batman assumes he had been killed by the Joker but returned with a vengeance.

I want to watch more now.

They look amazing in 1080p too.

Apocalypse is voice acted by the same chap who did Arkham Asylum.
 
anyone got a list of the good ones? I watched red hood and enjoyed it also watched a series of like 6 mini episodes of batman in one film which was enjoyable (not sure what it was called)... then watched superman doomsday which was a bit boring (doomsday killed within 5 minutes) and then watched green latern which was boring.

+1

They are amazing :D :o

Especially Batman: Under The Red Hood, storyline was really good and plus the music was damn good, really suited the film I thought.

Seen Batman/Superman: Apocalypse as well, but wasn't too keen on that tbh (still enjoyable to watch though :D), one thing which I thought was just plain stupid was batman being able to take on the doomsday clones :eek:

Mask of Phantasm and the Mr Freeze ones are brilliant from the Animated Series Batman

Will have to see them :D :o
 
As a side note, i loved the recent Wonder Woman film. If the live action film follows the plot from this then it would be a cracking film.

Plus Wonder Woman herself is serious eye candy :D
 
The one thing that surprised me, especially with recent outings by superman, is that he is now voiced by Mark Harmon, and there is something about that, that I find rather disturbing..

Wonder Woman :eek:, lol :p

I might try to watch it :p

As a side note :p

The Batman vs Dracula: The Animated Movie was really good as well.

Going to be a good weekend for me :p :D :o
 
bewarned you think these batman films are good?

You will open a can of worms on the dc franchise... its massive, goes from anyware from the Flash to Aquaman:)

All goes back to Batman animatied series, and superman animated series... gets even better when justice league starts.

Theres tons of amazing DC superhero animated shows, far exceeding any films remember in the world of animation there are no limits or budgets so writers/producers can show what they actually want :)

Sadly in todays recession most decent animated shows die before catching on ie batman the brave and the bold is canned, although a new darker batman animated show is apparantly in the works will see. Theres a new teen titans sorta show coming also with superboy and others....can of worms but its the best can ive ever opened :)

There not just good, there amazing :D :p

Lol yeah I know, will get around to watching them sometime as well, but first the batman ones :D

I would happily pay to see these in the cinema TBPH :D :o

Yeah :(, it was really good as well

Batman: Dead End is a fantastic fan film - Batman v Predator v Aliens


If I remember rightly (it's been a few years and I've drunk a lot since then...) Batman Beyond: The Movie is the first 2/3 epsiodes of the series combined. Unless you mean Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker (which is excellent).

Other DC animated films worth watching that haven't been mentioned are Batman: Mask of the Phantasm, Justice League: New Frontier, Superman/Batman: Public Enemies, Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths and Superman: Brainiac Attacks.

Seems like DC are working on Emerald Knights, All Star Superman and most excitingly Batman: Year One.

As for the animated shows, the original Batman is easily the best, although The Batman and Brave and the Bold are worth watching. Batman Beyond is also very good.

Both Justice League series are superb, and take great storylines from the comics.

The Superman series is also pretty good - hardly my favourite character but they do it well. And Lobo is in it.

:eek: I have actually seen batman: dead end, lol, seen it like years ago, must have forgotten about it :o. It is really good for a fan made film.

Yeah I think it is the first 3 episodes combined, o well, will watch it again anyway :D

Don't think I have seen Batman: Reurn of the Joker either, so will get that as well :D

Cool, can't wait for that, especially the Batman: Year One :D

Yeah, I am also looking for the original and The Batman and Brave and the Bold as well.

Yup, also loved the Superman animated series, just thought that Superman seemed too weak in it.

Also the Spiderman original animated series was awesome, especially the ones with venom and Green Goblin and the Iron Man animated series was pretty decent.

Watched Superman/Batman Public Enemies last night :D, it was pretty good, but no where as good as Batman: Under the Red Hood or the Dracula Batman film IMO.

For me my favourite super heroes have to be Superman, Iron Man, Spiderman and of course Batman :D :o
