DC's really been knockin' it out the park with their animated movies. I wish their box office films were this good.

Five Things We're Most Excited About in 'Justice League: Throne of Atlantis'
@justthatkid: don't forget aqualad, wonder girl, matter muncher lad, lighting lad and most of legion LOLOL so true their names are dumb just they are classic so we can forgive them lol.
Hope the next movie they decide to do is based on a good story rather than another one of Johns' brainfarts.
They did. That's why they're making Throne of Atlantis. The fans loved it.
Wot? They are remaking it already? Is this admitting the one thats not even out yet is crap and based on a crap story like JL War was?

"Massive Collateral Damage and an Epic Battle"
Oh, so when Superman does it the movie sucks, but when it's anyone else then it's a reason to get excited?
This is different, it's being caused by the bad guys, and in the story it's clear the heroes care about the people who are being hurt, and try to prevent it.
My memory might at times be a bit hazy, but I seem to remember it being Zod and his cohorts that brought a planet-levelling machine with them and decided it was a good idea to use it?
@outside_85: After all of that Superman and Zod basically leveled a city.
@outside_85: After all of that Superman and Zod basically leveled a city.
And like I am sure we have discussed before, Superman really didn't have any means to get Zod out of the city, since he would just come straight back or head somewhere else to kill more people as he said he would.
@outside_85: If Zod's only motive is to kill Superman, then why would he care? also we saw Superman has no trouble grabbing him and moving him from one place to another.
However it's all pointless since this isn't real life, it's a movie and the writer could put this in the script.
@outside_85: If Zod's only motive is to kill Superman, then why would he care?
Which it wasn't, if anything he priority list was to kill humans in front of Clark first, then kill him.
@outside_85: Yeah, but to do that he has to get through Clark, who could take the fight elsewhere. If Zod tries to fly back then he's vulnerable for an attack from behind.
@captainmarvel4ever: So excited for TOA

As we saw in the movie, all he had to do was punch Clark around and the collateral damage would mount up.
Anyways we are derailing the thread.
@outside_85: Then Clark would punch him back, and knock him into buildings. Again, there is no defending it because it's not real life, the entire sequence was a conscious decision by Goyer and Snyder.
@captainmarvel4ever: So excited for TOA
Same here, DC animation has yet to disappoint for me. Plus the story this movie is based on was very well received, and good stories usually make for better films.
@outside_85: ...the entire sequence was a conscious decision by Goyer and Snyder.
The choice being between depicting such a fight as real as possible, or go for an idealized kid-friendly version where all the damage results in a few scrapes and bruises.
@outside_85: The Avengers movie had an entire alien invasion in New York, and yet they kept the damage to a minimum (compared to this film) and showed the heroes saving people's lives during the invasion. It could have been so so so easy to take the fight to a canyon or some other deserted place and have a big epic fight there, and we would have gotten a better film because of it. Instead we got destruction/disaster porn.
@captainmarvel4ever: They had an army of redshirts armed with fisher price toys, the only real heavy they had was the flying whale. MoS had two Kryptonians.
That last comment is so stupid it's not worth responding to beyond this.
@outside_85: It doesn't change the fact that it was a battle with powerful aliens, and characters like Thor and the Hulk who can do major damage. You can't just keep denying that the film went overboard with destruction, and it brought the film down a notch. Even Michael Bay doesn't have as much destruction in his films, and that is saying something.
@starlord17: They may not do that since they already made an animated movie with the Crime Syndicate. Although I would love for them to do a Forever Evil film (of course I would like Trinity War first).
@justthatkid: Thanks, I just had to be sure I wasn't the only one who saw that. And you're DCUO does need to hurry up and make him a Legends character already, and add water powers to the game while they're at it!
I tought it was garth till i saw him put on the mask/helmet.
And shazam reminded me of mikey(tmnt) when he named arthur and the team in j.l war.
Wonder-woman's 'by the gods' is it gonna be a catchphrase for surprise or a trademark sentence?
Loved arthur's mom BTW.
And is blackmanta meant to be significant in this story?

Cyborg calling in reinforcements is one of the highlights of the story.
I'm really really hoping they don't cut that out, it's the main reason I'm looking forward to this.
Yahoo another movie coming out soon. My net speed is so bad right now that it refuses 2 play videos. This happens on weekends only though. Cant wait 2 watch this 2morrow. What are your ideas on a swamp thing/animal man movie and a flash movie? Just 2 make it clear,refuse paradox wasn't really his movie(did i spell that right.??)
@bellaardila92: Well they already cast Jason Momoa as Aquaman, IIRC.
If they include the "I AM YOUR KING!!!!" scene in this film I would be the happiest Aquaman fan alive, heck, I even had the scan of that scene as my Facebook avatar.
All I want is the "I AM YOUR KING!" scene
@scavengerfist: Holly Shit Khal Drogo is Aquaman?
@bellaardila92: Yep, it was posted here a few months ago.
@bellaardila92: Here's the link. I dunno if they confirmed it yet.
