Finally. A trailer for the new Batman cartoon
Minor grip. I wish it was done in a different animation style. It looks like all the other direct to video DC animated movies they make

I can't say the trailer wowed me. It feels like a story that's been done many times already, from Year One to Mask of the Phantasm to Begins to the first couple of seasons of The Batman and so on.
Also, though I get why they're doing it, it is kind of jarring to see a 1940s setting with gender and racial equality. It feels kind of dishonest.
Interesting choice to give Alfred an Oliver Hardy-esque appearance like he originally had in the comics, before they redesigned him to match the thin, balding actor who played him in the '43 serial. I think this is the first time we've ever seen Alfred depicted that way onscreen. But otherwise he seems to be a pretty standard Alfred, rather than the comical bumbler he started out as.

It's funny how you and I agree so much when it comes to Man Of Steel, yet disagree a lot when it comes to The Batman. Which is a good thing, by the way.
Lady Gaga just released this duet:
This has to be connected with Joker, right? Die with a Smile? A duet? Just a few months before the movie comes out?

DC have walked back and revealed the DC universes destroyed in Crisis were duplicates of the ones we're all familiar with all along. The originals are all fine
Did “Crisis on Infinite Earths” Destroy All of DC’s Animated Universes? | DC
Did “Crisis on Infinite Earths” Destroy All of DC’s Animated Universes? | DC
"Maybe"
It is so bizarre to me that anyone would actually think that fictional universes have some kind of actual shared reality somewhere, so that if one story depicts their "destruction," it means they're somehow "really" destroyed. Do they not understand that this is all made up? What one story does need not be binding on what another story does, even if they pretend to share a continuity. They can always just pretend something different.
It's basically gaslighting kids.
Maybe they shouldn't learn history from a cartoon show?
So in other words
A wankish explanation for all the made up crap we did which fans did not like.
Fans, I mean die hard fans take this kind of stuff to heart almost literally.
Huh? Was there really that much backlash? It’s not even an official explanation. Just one guy saying “that’s the ticket “.
Probably a very loud minority of vocal fans. Small but noticeable
Strange they haven’t revealed what next years animated movies are yet. That’s been a tradition of mine collecting them since Doomsday in 2007
One shouldn't generalize. I'm a pretty die-hard fan about a number of fictional universes, but I still understand that they're just made up and that one iteration of them doesn't have to be bound by what others have done.
Heck, there have been multiple different adaptations of Crisis already -- the Smallville "Season 11" comics did one, the Arrowverse did one, now there are these movies, and they're all incompatible with each other's versions of the "destruction of the multiverse." And that's not even mentioning the multiverse stories in Titans and the feature film The Flash, which also take distinct tacks. It should be obvious that they aren't bound by each other.
Are there going to be any more? At most, they'll be in the new unified continuity that Gunn talks about, and maybe it'll take time to get them sorted out and underway.
Don’t tell me Gunn has ruined those as well? They had nothing to do with his new universe.
That's the whole point, as I understand it -- Gunn wants all DC screen productions going forward to be in a shared universe, animation included. Though I'm not sure if that applies to the DVD movies, so don't take my word for it.
Oddly I enjoyed the DC animated Aquaman movie more than the live action one.
Well that would be depressing. Something that has been going since 2007 and ends with the three dullest movies of them all.
Let’s hope these Gunn ones are good, and we get a Sinestro Corps War movie out of it.
