Studio Mir is doing the upcoming Knightfall trilogy, and it looks both great and comic-accurate, despite intermixing styles from drastically different 90s artists. Absolute Batman also flips its look based on the artists. The one Absolute comic without a consistent style. Main artist and producer Nick Dragotta wants Trigger to do Absolute Batman, who are a realistic get based on the astronomical sales that rival core Jump titles in America. I say ship it to Korea. This show will be as big as AoT or JJK as long as it´s treated as a AAA production. It´s the one comic in my lifetime to be basically guaranteed to be on the reading list of English-speaking jump readers. The plot till at least issue 50 was laid out a year ago and sales are climbing, which never happens.
I hate the 00s Kypto cartoon, the CG film and Gunn´s shitty dog that is poisoning his Superman line, so let´s see what that Joker anime will be about. Suicide Squad ISEKAI was a work of... contrasts and no one watched it. |

The problem I have with most comic-baseed adaptions in general is they just feel so.. generic and vague. Not sure how to describe it but it's like the new Joker anime is supposed to be about Joker avenging Batman's death. Ok, but it worked with The Man Who Killed Batman in BTAS because we knew all the characters like Batman and Joker and Rupert Thorn already and had that existing dynamic. Unless this is based on an existing continuity like a past cartoon or movie there's no real introduction or attachment to the characters for me. That's why I skipped Suicide Squad. It's obviously taking cues from the movies with it's cast and designs but at the same time it's not the movies which already contradict each other due to different directors so we didn't really know anything about the characters or their origins or what that version of the character is like for me to care. Oh, Harley Quinn in fantasy land. Cool... but which one? All the Harleys are different and you can't just plaster their charicterization and origin on every piece of media. Stand-alone stories of vague interpretations of characters don't work for me I guess. |

Wow, someone's really salty about the world's cutest and strongest dog.

Honestly was expecting a sequel for Suicide Squad: Isekai than an anime about The Joker, who was also in that, but okay.
Absolute Batman getting a cartoon just makes me think of Robert Kirkman's comment about wanting to match the comic-to-animation production line of Japan. |

That would be difficult since Krypto debuted in 1955, over nine years before Underdog premiered. Also, Krypto was not part of an anthropomorphic cartoon world. |

Count me in on wishing they'd stop with this massive Krypto push. He was inoffensive enough in Superman (which admittedly is a step up from what I expected) but even though I loved the movie I really didn't come out of it being like, "Yes this character needs two new TV shows and to be in another movie next year."

Comic Krypto is fine as a background character, outside of Morrison´s N52 Sabertooth ghost. All his adaptations but Superman 2025, including Supergirl 2026, are failures and even Gunn´s Superman underperformed outside of America. Jeff the Land Shark, he is not, and DC has been hit with an animal epidemic under Gunn & Safran. I just can´t anymore.
A 9.8 graded Absolute Batman 1, the highest score, is currently worth 500$ with the price climbing. Variant covers can go for 2000$. The issue is from October 2024 and has over 10 reprint runs. That original print run single issue, about 200k exist, will one day put kids through college. A solid book but Absolute Wonder Woman is better. The rest of the line is ok with Batman now being expanded with minis and oneshots under Snyder. |

It's like, the only way this can get worse is if My Adventures with Superman was forced to include the dog. And it's already dealing with its own issues like the uninspired villain designs. It doesn't need more. |

DC is probably just looking for their own Jeff the Land Shark since he got huge with Marvel Rivals. As for the rest of the stuff I can't say I'm interested. I'm not a fan that the only two flavors of DC stuff out there is kiddy fluff like My Adventures With Superman/Green Lantern/Krypto/Starfire and the edgy grimdark slop that apparently is going to be Absolute. universe that they're doing now going off how the comics are I miss when we had a nice balance like the DCAU, Brave and the Bold, and Green Lantern. Granted it's probably hard when everything is only allowed to have 8 episodes a season max and get axed after 3 seasons. We really took 65/26 episode seasons for granted. Even anime is mostly only 12 episode cours now. |

I hope Sentai doesn't do the English dub again.

It's already been confirmed that Absolute Batman will be fully CG animation. Apparently a 360° view of Batman's model for the show was shown off to attendees as well. I belive the Joker show is the only one that actually got described as "anime". |

Absolute Batman being confirmed CG caused a lot of groaning, but I’m hoping for more Dorohedoro style CG than Beware the Batman.
…We’re probably getting Beware the Batman. |

Not seeing the negative here. Beware the Batman’s CG was fine compared to some other CG animated works from that era.
Brave & The Bold and Green Lantern were disparaged in their times the former for being nothing like BTAS (as any adaptation will be hit with) and Green Lantern for being CG (also unsurprising).
As overrated as Jeff is that’s actually a good thing. |

So was The Batman but Hindsight is always 20/20. If people knew just how bad DC animation would become with the faux-anime Superman cartoon and other modern DC works I'm sure people have a new found appreciation for those shows now. As little interest as I have in a Joker anime or an Absolute Batman cartoon at least they're something different than the usual kiddy stuff. The real losers here are fans of the OG Teen Titans since the new Starfire cartoon looks like it's based on Go and Go continues to do well and rub it in the faces of the old cartoon fans constantly like the recent promo bragging about their episode count being higher than the OG I can appreciate the snark at least.
