Josh Reviews Justice League Dark
From Batman: The Animated Series, which launched in 1995, all the way through the final episode of Justice League Unlimited in 2006, Bruce Timm and a team of extraordinary writers and artists crafted an interlocking universe based on characters from DC comics. This was long before t
Josh Reviews the Animated Adaptation of Batman: The Killing Joke
Released in 1988, Batman: The Killing Joke by Alan Moore and Brian Bolland is widely considered a masterpiece, one of the greatest Batman/Joker stories ever told. And yet, over the last few years I have noticed something of a critical re-approximation of the work, with many finding fa
Catching Up With DC Animation: Bad Blood and Justice League vs Teen Titans
OK, quick summary: I fell in love with Batman: The Animated Series when it first premiered back in the nineties. Bruce Timm and Paul Dini forever defined Batman and so many of his supporting characters for me. I believe that Kevin Conroy is the best actor to ever portray Batman on
Josh Reviews Justice League: Gods and Monsters
For many years, Bruce Timm was the mastermind behind Warner Brothers’ Animation’s wonderful DC Universe superhero shows. But in the past few years he has stepped away from the currently-running line of direct-to-DVD/blu-ray movies, to what I feel is the detriment of the
News Around the Net!
This trailer for SPECTRE is pretty great: I am tremendously excited for the reintroduction of S.P.E.C.T.R.E. and Blofeld to the Bond films — for the first time in four decades!! — and I really hope they don’t blow it. This new trailer looks large-scale, and I am th
Catching Up! Josh Reviews Powers Season One, Star Wars The Clone Wars “Bad Batch”, and Batman vs Robin
On my desk I keep a list of the various movies and TV shows that I’ve watched that I intend to write about here on the site. Lately that list has been growing very long! I have fallen somewhat behind on my blogging. So I’m going to try a new format here and post some
Josh Reviews Justice League: Throne of Atlantis
I had read that DC was planning on creating a new continuity amongst some of their animated films (while still continuing to release some one-shot, stand-on-their-own films like Assault on Arkham) that would parallel the newly-relaunched “New 52” DC Universe in the comics.
Batman: Assault on Arkham
I have soured recently on the DC Animated direct-to-DVD/blu-ray releases, and I’m afraid their latest release, Batman: Assault on Arkham, does little to change my general impression that this line of animated films has lost its way. This film had a few things going for it off th
Josh Reviews Son of Batman
Well, I have just about given up on these direct-to-DVD DCU animated films. There have been some great ones over the years (Batman: Under the Red Hood is probably my favorite), but the series has been very hit and miss. Since Bruce Timm’s departure as mastermind of the serie
Josh Reviews Justice League: War
I am thrilled that DC’s series of Direct-to-DVD animated films exists, and I always look forward to the newest release. That being said, there’s no question that this series has been very hit-and-miss. There have been a few spectacular films (like Batman: Under the Red
