Batman: Year One is out, aka Commissioner Gordon: Year One

General Discussion
1

Comic Book Resources had a thread that stated the following 3 animated movies-

ALL-STAR SUPERMAN - Spring 2011

GREEN LANTERN: EMERALD KNIGHTS - Summer 2011

BATMAN: YEAR ONE - Fall 2011

The Emerald Knights movie is said to be a prequel to the GL movie.
I’m calling it a RUMOR ATM until I can find some solid info, tho…this seems to confirm All-Star Supes
SDCC 2010 ? BATMAN: UNDER THE RED HOOD Panel

Furthermore, here is a list of the supposed shorts to be featured with the movie-
Superman/Captain Marvel
Lobo
Catwoman
Gotham by Gaslight (look it up on Wiki)
Booster Gold & Blue Beetle

Man I am pretty sure nobody was clamoring for Lobo

Booster Pimp on the other hand

lol i want all star batman for its pure hilarity.

4

DCAU, if you fuck up All-Star Superman, I will never forgive you.

5

no not fixed. hilarity!

6

I’d have to agree with you on that. Then again they could actually make it more plausible than the comci

7

I hope Grant Morrison writes the storyline for All Star Superman.The entire comic storyline was GREAT!!!

8

You mean script right? IIRC, Dwayne McDuffie will be writing the script for the animated adaptation. Oh and here are the voice cast-
Denton, Hendricks, LaPaglia lend voices to ‘All-Star Superman’ (exclusive)
DEM SUPER-LIPS!

all-star batman & robin was pretty much the most genius shit ever, frank miller turns batman and co into sin city, and with jim lee penciling? yes please.

lets have some more lemonade, green lantern.

…Where in the blankety blank is my Judas Contract???

11

it’s only bad if you can’t take it as a joke, which it clearly was. or he is obviously unable to write anything beyond sin city. i mean ffs superman was just standing around bending steel.

Retarded story and retarded artwork are two characteristics that do not describe Sin City. ASBAR is unintentionally funny at times, but other than that, it has no redeeming value. Aside from the shit that flat-out doesn’t make sense, it’s needlessly slow and boring.

13

Only redeeming factor I can think of is that it’s a nice Jim Lee artbook.

14

Its redeeming value is that it highlights how Frank Miller has run out of insightful things to say about superheroes, and how his interests are now elsewhere. This will enable us to more effectively avoid his mainstream work-for-hire stuff in the future.

15

i’m not going to say the story was great, it wasn’t (but i did find it humorous). plus you can’t really complain about art when rob liefeld still gets work.

16

Nah I still think the art is it’s one redeeming value <3

17

I personally find Jim Lee to be an updated version of Rob Liefeld who at least understands basic anatomy, but retains many of the other issues.

18

at least he understands basic anatomy though, lol. anyways i’ll leave it alone, a lot of people hate it and i found it hilarious.

i am looking forward to batman: year one.

19

I was gonna say something similar, and expected to catch shit for it. At least it’s not that unpopular an opinion.

Also wanted to say that a Year One animated feature would be kind of redundant with Batman Begins in recent memory.

I found All-Star Batman & Robin immensely enjoyable. But yes, it was entirely due to the unintentional humour.

I think between that and The Dark Knight Strikes Again, I fear Miller’s Batman/superhero stories are way to…uh…high brow for me to enjoy properly now. I would be very okay with him retiring from superhero comics forever - he’s done enough good already. Now he’s just fucking around because he can.

I don’t know how an All-Star Superman movie would work. I think it’d just seem oddball and cheesy. I really think that was one story that really took full advantage of the comic book medium - I don’t think it works any other way.

That didn’t stop me from enjoying the Watchmen movie though. It’s not like the movie versions have anything to do with the comic book versions anyway - they are and will remain separate entities.
