Been a while since I stopped by, but just a few random thoughts on recent DC releases and future projects.


 * Watched Justice League vs. Teen Titans and thought it was solid... a step in the right direction for recent DCAU movies. Was glad they went with a more classic Starfire than the New 52 version and Kari Wahlgren was good, I liked Blue Beetle and Beast Boy, Jerry O'Connell was better as Superman (perhaps he got more into the role since they patterened Superman like the classic version) and it was good that they tried to give some lesser known characters the spotlight. It dragged in a few spots, but overall, a better effort than what I've recently seen.


 * I am intrigued about what they will do with the planned Justice League Dark film. At the very least, it's good to see them taking a chance by using characters who aren't among the most popular, even if they are using Batman as a lure. But it sounds like the storyline won't center on him.


 * The trailers for the upcoming Wonder Woman live action film have me excited, even with the issues the DC Cinematic Universe films are having as of late. I've always thought the DCAU version of Wonder Woman is one of the more underrated films in that collection and still holds up. But given the disappointment that was Batman v Superman and that Suicide Squad sounds like it's a mess (haven't seen it yet to judge), I'm worried that the studio will panic again and meddle too much with the live action Wonder Woman film.


 * Finally, I kind of get a Young Justice vibe off the Rebirth Titans comic. Or maybe I just keep hearing Jason Spisak's voice every time I read Wally West. And in the latest comic, without spoiling too much, they did mention Psimon, who was prominent in YJ.
