It looks good, but do we need this again?
We had the live action movie and the motion comic, isn't that enough?

I'm not opposed to the concept, but it should bring something to the table.
I was cautiously optimistic on the announcement, but this particular "CGI trying to look like classic animation" style just does nothing for me. Everything I've seen in this style is either so slavishly on-model that it's soulless, or its scenes going into dedicated spectacle that feel overly produced. I miss the consistent effect of the effort of detailed hand animation. I think watchmen deserves it, and it would mesh with the story, but alas here we are.
Aside from visual style, an adaption to a different medium is served well by having its own complimentary voice to the source material. It's a tricky act, but that's why people who make good adaptions are so talented.
I hope this is good, but I figure it will be forgotten within 6 months of release.
I completely agree. If you're not doing something in the realm of Arcane or Spiderverse, don't bother.
Reminds me of the "the medium is the message" phrase, and hope that the creators are going for something unique either to the story or the presentation, but the cynic in me thinks that they may just be doing this to set up a Doomsday Clock movie.
The live action movie, especially director's cut, is amazing! I loved the serie too.
Thanks for the link! I'm excited for this. I love most of the DC animated movies. I personally think that their animated movies are way better than their live action movies.
I don't miss a dc animated movie.
That can't be said for the big budget live action stuff.
I wish they had just continued the TV series instead, at least that one was original.
I would love a continuation of the TV series, but as I understand the creator (of the TV series, Damon Lindlehof) doesn't have a good idea for what to do next.
Someday I hope he, or someone does, but for now I respect the current decision.
Do we at least get the squid this time?
- These are DC's 5th and 6th direct-to-video movies to be animated completely in CGI (other than the LEGO movies). The first four were Batman Ninja, Batman and Superman: Battle of the Super Sons, and Justice League x RWBY: Super Heroes and Huntsmen parts 1 and 2.
- These are DC's first direct-to-video animated movie(s) to be presented in the 2.39:1 aspect ratio, all previous ones were presented in 1.78:1.
