The Spectre clip 1

[Trelau]

Wow. that was creepy. goodbye PG13 i believe.
what exactly is the plot for the spectre? because i can see it working as a compilation of horror short-stories, but not as a movie.

I liked this but thought Public Enemy was better. The evil versions of the Marvels was interesting. Read about how some people thought that Owlman owned Bats but they are forgetting that he had a broken rib during that fight thanks to the evil Wonderwoman. Aquaman actually holding his own against a evil Marvel was pretty awesome. All in all it was pretty decent.

At least he's in it...even if it is as an afterthought....jerks. 

Actually he gave a very good showing of himself and I liked him even form his just few lines.

got the movie and liked it.of the marvels was that captain marvel or black adam? couldnt tell. about the owlman/batman fight, owlman seemed to have the advantage being fully armored and enhanced too.strength wise he resisted wonderwomans strength on the plane due to his armor.liked how they did the batman/superwoman fight.she was just toying with batman. showed he couldnt over-power her so he used his wits to out think and trick her. bet you liked the aquaman fight huh benton.i liked how he was portrayed.i also like his classic look too.

Ok one thing. After Batman (also known as punching bag man) tells him the Shazamoids are stronger than him, he gets a great expression on his face and says "That remains to be seen." happy?

[Previsionary]

I kinda found it refreshing to see Batman knocked around in this movie. He's touted as the ultimate hero/fighter in most interpretations where a team is involved, so I was surprised that his superiors (strength wise) really made him work for his wins. With that said, even I thought he could have made better showings. He was the only hero consistently being thrown around.

[steamteck]

Actually his being thrown around was logical in all the cases even if we're not used to it It made sense he couldn't keep up with Johnny Quick. Superwoman has super strength and reflexes and Owlman was pretty Batman himself in powered armor.

Have only seen the first 25 min's or so, but would be great to see the real Captain Marvel come in & mop the floor w/ his doppleganger & his clan.

This was kinda just...Eh. I love the premis of all of these animated features, but in the end i always feel like i am dragged out through this leangthly story, and then cut to a quick finish with little closure. I liked the voice cast up to the martian man hunter. It wasn't too terrible, but not great.

Aside from the obvious spelling errors, the film was only 70-75 minutes long...

I agree with him as that seems to apply to a lot of these animated hero movies.
It's not the movie itself is too long, but the plot seems to be slowly going somewhere and then suddenly there's a fight and its over. Brave New World was going well getting into the formation of the JLA but then you realize it's 3/4ths over and and the rest is just a fight with aliens. Public Enemies had a cool story with president Luthor slowly going then some crap with toyman, fight, end. I have a lot of trouble staying awake during most of these movies which shouldn't be the case with movies about super-heroes. The last really good full-length superhero cartoon I saw was the Justice League (limited) movie/double episode about the Hawk people. I don't want to fanboyishly say that only Bruce Timm is good at making good animated DC movies, buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut...

I liked this movie more than New Frontier.  Batman got beaten around a bit, but man was he ever cold (that whole Flash thing....wow!).  There seemed to be some pointless sub plots (ie MM's fling), but it wasn't too distracting for me.  What is distracting is getting used to the new voices.  I guess the voice acting in JLA was so good that it's hard to accept someone else taking over lead roles. 

Anyway, for me this was a pretty solid movie that's better if you remember it's just alternate realities and has nothing to do with things seen in previous JLA movies or Timmverse.

Why "It doesn't matter." MAJOR SPOILERS

Post by Dwayne McDuffie
At the very end of Crisis on Two Earths, Owlman realizes the horrible truth: as soon as he arrives on Earth Prime and makes any decision at all, Earth Prime split into two Not Quite Earth Primes, one where he made the decision, and one where he didn't. In other words, by making a decision on Earth Prime, he spawned an entirely new multiverse. Earth Prime can't be destroyed through an act of will. Not in the present. Owlman literally cannot win.

Batman saved our multiversal tree, but there's at least one other one. Once an outsider travels to Earth Prime, it's no longer Earth Prime. (this is also why there aren't an infinite number of Batmen and Owlmen - and every possible variation of same - already there waiting for them).

I'm sorry for the typo, i also didn't mean the actual film was long. I meant that it seemed much longer than it actually was. And while I'm here i will also apologize for spelling premise wrong...What can i say, i'm human.

Bought it.  Dig it.  Excellent action sequences.  Liked Mark Harmon VA work on Supes.  Maybe a tad disappointed with William Baldwin as the voice of Batman.  Batman's look was also a bit disappointing.  But both are minor criticisms (I liked Batman ok).   Owlman took the whole show though! 

A few quick questions if you please though:

1.  Who is the winged girl who kills the Jester?  Hawkgirl was my first thought.  But why does she have a flaming sword.  A mace or a spear would be more appropriate.

2.  Who is the girl that WW tangles with on the docks who is dressed like Hippolyta?  Is that CS's version of Donna Troy perhaps?

3.  Still wondering who the three "Made Men" are.  It's clear they are some version of Captain Marvel.  But why three?  And they are all different ages:  One adolescent looking, one prime age adult, one middle aged adult.  Are they maybe three different age versions of Captain Marvel?  Odd.

[JeyNyce]

The 3 made men:

1 - Captain Marvel jr
2 - Captain Marvel
3- This Guy

2.  Who is the girl that WW tangles with on the docks who is dressed like Hippolyta?  Is that CS's version of Donna Troy perhaps?

2. That was CS's version of Wonder Woman. Superwoman in this one is Mary Marvel.

[Trelau]

are you sure? she looks old to be mary marvel. I was under the assumption that the armor girl was in fact evil donna troy, it would make more sense (her being a lieutenant...i can't see a crime syndicate without evil wonderwoman in it)

Confirmed by Dwayne McDuffie.

[Trelau]

well that's sure interesting. i wonder if there are other mis-recognised characters...is there a list of who's supposed to be who? or maybe they keep that for the collector's version of the dvd

[catwhowalksbyhimself]

wikipedia has a list of who's who.

I had my friends over for grilled hot dogs, chicken, hamburgers, and all the stuff that goes along with those items last night.  We do this every now and then.  We watched Planet Hulk, which I thought was dreadful, and the JLA story, which I thought was very good.  What really blew my mind was the Spectre story.  I thought it was awesome!

Batman didn't work for me in two ways.  The voice was off.  He sounded like an old man.  I was also bothered that Batman would stay behind to work on the satellite.  That seemed to be highly out of character.  I wouldn't say I'm a Lobo fan, but I think he is a fun, campy encapsulation of what the '90s was all about.  He must not be very tough on Earth-3.
