Superman: That's ridiculous. I'd be the first one to suffer from...

President Luthor: SUPERMAN DID IT DEFYING ALL LOGIC! THERE IS NO LIMIT TO HIS MADNESS! AS PRESIDENT I AM ORDERING ALL SUPERHEROES AND SELECT VILLAINS TO BRING HIM and Batman DOWN!

Yup. That was Loeb's writing at its best right there

So the action is the same and done by the same people.

Oh, that is odd, I wonder why the action in MoS was so epic and awe inspiring while Unbound was repetitive and flat.

Also I thought Public Enemies had awesome fight scenes but I wasn't really impressed with much else, it was better than Apocalypse though which was only worth watching for the Darkseid fight right at the end.

Watched more of The Batman. It's a weird experience, it's heavily censored in that way that so many shows from the last decade are and yet in other senses it feels like a real call back to the 90s.

Bruce's tragic backstory is here in full glory, along with the constant questions of his mental state and the show doesn't pull any punches or soften it in any way, it just has to find new ways to present it to get past censors.

The villains are damn twisted as well, the show gets really dark and really allows the villains to get away with more than you'd think would be allowed, whether it be Bane breaking Bruce to pieces, Penguin unleashing his birds to feast upon Alfred or Man Bat flying around draining the blood of animals or whatever else.

I checked out the first episode of that Kaijudo show after my interest was peaked by this thread (it took ages to download) and I was pleasantly surprised. I'll be the first to say that I hate the modern trend of Western Cartoons trying to emulate anime, it rarely works and usually comes across feeling like one of 4kids abortions they call dubs but Kaijudo really worked very well, at least the first episode did thanks to some solid art direction, really cool monsters and great animation.

Sooooo now it looks like Simpsons is crossing over with Futurama

What next? American Dad?

I am absolutely smitten with Kaijudo! The characters in this are so good and I love the dialogue and chemistry. It's rare a show has me roaring with laughter but this is just fantastic.

I didn't know this was a sequel.

More like a remake. Though honestly, I thought the original Duel Masters had some pretty horrid and nonsensical dialogue

Wait, this is a remake of that YuGiOh knock off anime? But there are like no similarities between the two shows...
