Static Shock was too kiddy, and had too many “parallel” problems instead of actually addressing a real-life problem, unlike the comic.

i remember i used to talk to dwayne mcduffie the creator as a kid online…dude was supernice (r.i.p), i used to ask him bout why he knocked off the mom and he told me that was one of his biggest mistakes. I think they tried to make that like a steriotypical hood family…tryin to make it real world issue in a way…comic is too hood to every truthfully be animated.
Watching that clip of Batman talking to Waller was just too funny if only because you forget that Batman keeps tabs on like everybody and is capable of seeing you anytime he wants.
@Maxx: For what its worth the show was pretty good. I keep forgetting the voice actors was like a who’s who of black actors and actresses.
Uh, dn, you do know the poll is there for fun right? The thread is just discussion on the DCAU, the poll is there just to kill time.
Yeah Superman was actually starting grow a pair. You could tell he really wanted to bust Bruce across the face for that.
Yeah, I mean, normally Supes is an INSANELY boring hero. OP as hell, but completely goody two shoes. When he gets pissed off though, THEN it’s on. Last thing you want to be is on the other side of a pissed off Clark who doesn’t give a fuck.
Dissagree 
But yeah near the end Supes was getting pretty awesome, the Super/Captain Marvel fight was great.
Let me just say this first, fuck Superman.
He has every power. He can shoot lasers from his eyes, with those same eyes he can see through walls. Super strength? Check. Super speed? Check. Flight? Check. Ice breath? Are you shitting me? He’s got all of that and needs ice breath too?
Now, lets talk about all of his conflicts. Oh wait, the all end the same way. He over powers his opposition in any possible way. Most frequently just by out punching them. Boring.
Now let’s bring up Clark Kent, that is Superman’s alter ego, it’s not the other way around. Clark is a bitch-made scrub. He’s easily intimidated and strays from conflict. He never puts himself out there to get the girl. He’s constantly stepped on at his own job, even though in all actuality he can do damn well whatever he wants at any time. Clark Kent is Superman’s critique on the entire human race. Superman views most humans to be like Clark Kent, stupid, weak, incompetent, and incapable of defending themselves. Superman is the exact opposite of Clark. Also, with all of those powers, why does any other character in DCU even need to exist outside of Batman?
Again, fuck Superman.
They even white-washed that: typical hood family has no FATHER, hence the kids turning to gangsta rappers and local street criminals as role models, and starting a life in and out of the system in their early teens. How Static was compromised for television pissed me off because I basically WAS Virgil as a teen. The black kid in the hood who “talked white”, liked comics, video games, and had comic book and video game characters (Ryu and Ken, of course) as idols, and sat at home reading while my friends were out stealling cars. I picked up that first issue of Static (limited edition cover, woot!) and was like “Damn, this guy’s just like me!! Except for getting his butt kicked by a thugged-out white guy…and the cool powers. And the dreads.” I bonded nearly instantly with that series. The tv adaptation was like a slap in the face…like it was made for people that live in perfect worlds that could never fathom actual real-life issues. Crazy places where everyone is a special snowflake, and everybody loves everybody, and nobody has to worry about actual real-life issues…because they didn’t grow up in surroundings that made such things an issue.
You left out invulnerability, time travel, microscopic vision, and telescopic vision.
And he can see souls, he can erase memory with a kiss, he can cause the earth to reverse it’s course of rotation without fucking up everything in the process, he can make instant diamonds (already perfectly cut and polished)…it’s like he’s God or something.
Wait, what?
JLU introduced me to superman as a dick.
Hating on capt marvel was just hilarious
i really do not know why batman is content with saving darkseid, the only way to stop him was to kill him. Him being so dejected when supes kill darkseid in jl was lolz
i was really liking young justice too
anyways since i’m a superman fanboy. Superman tas=batman tas>jlu>jl>batman beyond
Superman has been a dick forever. And Clark Kent is not Superman’s stand-up impression of the human race. Despite all his power he still has conflicts, and there are people that can routinely whoop his ass or hurt him in the comic world so yeah.
Okay…he can STILL see souls (did it to Connor to let him know he wasn’t just a construct during a pep talk on the Kent Farm after SB recovered from his little Lex-out bout of insanity), and the diamond thing…yeah, I’m pretty sure. Since it’s not combat-related, they no doubt let him keep that one.
We all can agree Superman’s best power is to spin at incredible speeds in a circle until it accomplishes something.
That or Super Weaving.
Just DC’s way of saying “Ay, you know he’s still broken, right? We’ll just save that shit for a fight where only he can win to reveal all the stuff you thought was removed, has been returned.” Let Lois turn evil and try to destroy the world because of something she was told before she gained the power that let her wreck shop. Kiss of forgetfulness. Then an instant diamond to make up. And fuck a lump of coal: supes might just grab and compress AIR molecules to form the diamond.
I love in the first movie when he spins and drills through the fucking sidewalk to to Lex’s lair. I bet Supes drill could pierce the heavens.
Yeah…I’m told that he regularly does. When the simple act of relieving stress can drill a hole some 4000 meters deep through concrete, your only safe disposal method is to fire it off straight up. A sock ain’t gonna cut it. Heaven help any plane overhead at the moment.
