SUPERMAN DOOMSDAY :(

Posted by JohnnyUtah Sep. 19, 2007 @ 11:30 AM EDT

What the hell happened.

I'm not a huge cartoon buff, but if you want to look to a series that did it right, its Batman: The Animated Series along with Superman the animated series as a close second. I also enjoyed the Batman animated movies. I'm only clumping in batman here because it's all from the same team. I'll also throw in some Batman Beyond and Justice League..although those two are more flawed, but still have their gems.

The two men credited most with these shows success are Paul Dini and Bruce Timm. Ever since Dini left you can clearly see the shows drifting off into an abyss of shit...but always just barely hanging on with the occasional good episodes.

This brings us to Superman Doomsday.

I mentioned in an earlier post, one of the few comics I've read was the Death of Superman along with some of the comics that followed afterwards with the multiple supermen.

SO it was with interest that I heard about this new movie based on that storyline and directed by Bruce Timm....and what a fucking letdown.

I'm tired so I'll just list off what I liked and didn't like.

Disliked:
The story - seriously what a fucking hackjob...I wont ruin it for you but it's worthless and
has almost nothing to do with the death of superman story besides doomsday.
Supermans cheekbones - WHY. WHY RUIN A PERFECTLY GOOD DESIGN.
Lois Lane voiced by Anne Heche - worst acting job in a cartoon I've seen in a LONG TIME
Any other attempts at real character development which is laughable
Superman gets "killed" in 8 minutes flat.
Shoddy animation compared to the rest of the movies

Liked:
The music score is acceptable

So whatever, thanks warner bros animation. You made a movie with the writing and acting of a third rate saturday morning cartoon and a few gratuitous kills to earn you a PG-13 rating.

Speaking of animation, I'm 99% done tankmen 2. I'll be releasing it right after madness day.

*Sniff Sniff* OH NOES! never speak wrongly of superman! *slaps JohnnyUtah with own penis* and WHAAAAAAAAAA?!?! TANKMEN 2?! like... a serious one?! (using the term "serious" as loosly as physically possible) or another piss take?


Sep. 19, 2007 | 11:41 AM RubberNinja says:

I never liked Superman honestly.. Only DC hero I really liked was "The Flash"..

Ironic, maybe?


Sep. 19, 2007 | 11:45 AM snake23 says:

weeeeeee Tankman 2 nearly coming :D


Sep. 19, 2007 | 12:02 PM ChaostheHedgehog117 says:

Superman just sucks in general, don't be surprised.


Sep. 19, 2007 | 12:05 PM spite-skater says:

The whole idea of a super hero dieing just sounds lame to me...So I really didn't imagine it would was going to be any good.

Anyway, can't wait for TM :)

A 28 year old guy who watches superman cartoons-priceless


Sep. 19, 2007 | 12:39 PM Sonucais says:

Could you add a subs option for Tankmen 2 plx?

Sep. 19, 2007 | 12:52 PM JohnnyUtah responds:

i'm asking in all seriousness here, but do you have a hearing problem (yes im being completely serious dont take it any other way), or do you just like reading subtitles

ill try and add them if enough people really wanted them...it is time consuming though


Sep. 19, 2007 | 12:49 PM Therman says:

omfg tankmen 2!!!!!11 :D that rocks! hope you didn't forget the dick jokes :P

Sep. 19, 2007 | 12:50 PM JohnnyUtah responds:

there's one and only one. just for you.


Sep. 19, 2007 | 12:58 PM FENRISONION says:

SWEET DUDE YOU ROCK AND I LOVE TANKMEN W00t FOR YOU!!!!


Sep. 19, 2007 | 1:07 PM Catoblepas says:

Also, consider the non-english speaking people who might miss some of the dialogue if spoken only.

Sep. 19, 2007 | 1:25 PM JohnnyUtah responds:

i guess ill add em in then.

consider it a one day delay


Sep. 19, 2007 | 2:31 PM ibhenowflee says:

Ah yes, TANKMEN 2! Another one for my favorites list. >:3


Sep. 19, 2007 | 2:33 PM IammeoramI says:

Throw a green rock at it. :D


Sep. 19, 2007 | 2:55 PM Afro-Ninja says:

I WANT TANKMEN DIRECTOR'S COMMENTARY TOO :(

Sep. 20, 2007 | 12:15 AM JohnnyUtah responds:

ill put my "commentary" here on my user page


Sep. 19, 2007 | 3:18 PM tlgmedia says:

Goddamn Warner Brothers, they used to have the best cartoons and now look at them. My childhood is personally offended.

Batman: The Animated Series was the fucking shit.


Sep. 19, 2007 | 3:25 PM JakFro5t says:

(havnt seen it) How the fuck do you kill superman,its impossible,he only dies from like criptonyte and you cant inject him with anything cuase hes impervius (spelling sucks cuase my fingers all slashed to hell)

i remember seeing a thing about wen the origenal superman died,big blow to people of that time since he was sposed to be invincible,big depression so thanks warner brothers your goin to kill 1/3 of the US lol

Oh pwn tank men 2? lol ive had that part "hey captian your lookin mighty handsome today" "thanks steve i feel handsome..today" lol pls grace us with your cock jokes! *bows down*


Sep. 19, 2007 | 3:50 PM KupaMan says:

At least the cover is badass.

I was really hoping this would be good, too. DC has a much better animation studio doing their stuff than Marvel, too. It's sad to hear they didn't stand for the job.

Sep. 20, 2007 | 2:03 AM JohnnyUtah responds:

haha atleast there's that.


Sep. 19, 2007 | 4:28 PM Sonucais says:

Oh! No, no, no, no! I don't have any problem of theses (luckily). The only problem I have is I'm a Spanish NG user and I wasn't able to understand the previous episodes. People says those were funny as hell but I never was able to understand most of the history/jokes so I would like to at last read it (also helps to learn pronunciation). So yeah, thank you very much if you make a little transparent icon to active them ^_^


Sep. 19, 2007 | 4:43 PM JonBro says:

Haha, can't wait to see Tankmen 2 =)

Oh, and just thinking here... Another reason to add subtitles would be for all those with broken speakers wanting to watch this. It's happened to me before.

Sep. 20, 2007 | 12:14 AM JohnnyUtah responds:

jesus BROKEN SPEAKERS?

i spent alot of time trying to find the right music and dont even get me started on tracking down the sound effects...god dammit.


Sep. 19, 2007 | 4:44 PM AbsintheClock says:

I thought Batman was going down the tubes after they did the "New adventures of Batman and Robin." All the way up to the fourth season it was going great. Although that's what happens when you ship all your animation work overseas. From what I've seen of Superman Doomsday it was kind of like the same deal where they would sacrifice animation quality and cover it up by making it "darker." Seemed pretty hackneyed to me so I'm not going to spend money on it.


Sep. 20, 2007 | 12:52 AM Bug says:

i was talking to a friend about this the other night and i told him that i didn't think this was gonna be any good based strictly on the assumption that it was "new" and that they've fallen so far since batman and superman adventures.

that being said ill take heed your warning and stay far away from this.

Sep. 20, 2007 | 2:01 AM JohnnyUtah responds:

i dunno, maybe im being too hard on it, but i was just expecting higher standards from them. they put out a very pedestrian movie.

WHEN WILL TANKMEN 2 BE RELEASHED?!

Sep. 20, 2007 | 2:28 PM JohnnyUtah responds:

monday..probably


Sep. 20, 2007 | 5:34 PM The-Commissar says:

Yay! Tankmen2!


Sep. 20, 2007 | 7:42 PM Masterswordman says:

Yay, TANKMANS.


Sep. 20, 2007 | 8:17 PM PlatinumX9 says:

you still plan on making a madness cartoon? don't dissapoint teh KRINK3LZ!
also i can't wait for TM 2. how long is it compared to the other one? and will there be a third one?

Sep. 20, 2007 | 11:47 PM JohnnyUtah responds:

\...no, around 5 minutes, and yes. in that order.


Sep. 20, 2007 | 11:02 PM The-Donkey says:

I don't even see the need for Marvel and DC to make movies out of all the old comics. Its like they're so desperate for money that they'll just take old loved things and beat them in a ditch.

Oh, and took long enough for Tankmen. Better be worth it.

Sep. 20, 2007 | 11:48 PM JohnnyUtah responds:

it probably wont be, and im not just saying that to be coy.


Sep. 21, 2007 | 4:16 AM ZekeySpaceyLizard says:

so once again Batman comes out on top.

Return of the Joker = oh my yes

Sep. 21, 2007 | 8:12 AM JohnnyUtah responds:

robin getting his balls electricuted off - awesome

Sep. 21, 2007 | 7:00 PM McFooFa says:

Just watched it today.

I have no idea why this doesn't take place in the DC Animated Universe, it could've been so much better if it had.

And yeah, his cheekbones annoyed the fuck out of me.

It was alright, not total shit, but not that great.

I hope Timm decides to start making movies that take place in the DCAU. :/


Sep. 21, 2007 | 11:47 PM RaNcIdPsYcHoJoSh says:

What do you expect, Utah? I mean it was made by Glen Murakami, the same guy behind that fucking retarded and uber gay Teen Titans cartoon. Have you ever seen that shit? It looks like it was drawn by a bunch of first graders with no fingers or eyes and then inked and shaded into homosexual faux-anime crap.

A lot of cartoons do this nowadays and Glen Murakami is one of the founders of this despicable turn for animation, and one day I hope to rip out his liver and eat it raw.

Ta ^-^

Sep. 22, 2007 | 12:14 AM JohnnyUtah responds:

there's something very insidious about the "kids" animation industry. I wouldn't be very pleased if I was stuck on one of these shows.


Sep. 22, 2007 | 2:34 AM ShortMonkey says:

Hell yeah! Looking forward to Tankmen 2!


Sep. 22, 2007 | 5:52 PM MCU says:

I hate those shitty kids versions of superhero cartoons. They just kill it off. It's all about the old classic stuff I've seen dvds and re-runs of, and the old comic collections from the libary. Anyway, good luck with Tankmen 2, you've got an auto 5.


Sep. 23, 2007 | 12:12 AM Seamonky says:

I can wait to give Tankmen 2 a five and a great review. I'm gonna like tomorrow. :D

Sep. 23, 2007 | 1:26 AM JohnnyUtah responds:

it might be tuesday..yikes


Sep. 23, 2007 | 6:49 PM MacUser says:

hey johnny! I'm working on a preloader for my next flash and it stars a tankman! I was wondering if I could use your voice for it? All I need for you to say is "Lets go blast some commies!" if you can, or if you can't thanks anyways!


Sep. 24, 2007 | 3:12 PM Adzy-2k6 says:

Ive almost always hated superman >_<. nyway, TANKMEN 2, I cant wait, its awesome :p


Sep. 24, 2007 | 4:04 PM Milamber24 says:

Never been a fan of comic book stuff.

Anyway, I can has TANKMEN 2 tommorows?

Sep. 25, 2007 | 8:38 AM JohnnyUtah responds:

maybe


Sep. 24, 2007 | 4:47 PM Triphophiptop says:

Finally! Ever consider doing another "Cogs" of War animation? I heard some suits came down on you, but a follow up would be sick.

Sep. 25, 2007 | 8:38 AM JohnnyUtah responds:

im never doing another gears flash ever again.


Sep. 24, 2007 | 8:15 PM The-Donkey says:

I'm dissapointed Johnny.


Sep. 25, 2007 | 4:40 AM BillSkelton says:

Ever since Superman had a homosexual relationship with Squid Dude I stopped reading the series.

"Only Dancers who consider it illegal to hunt cows for sport should be allowed in Youth Discos," said James from accounts and he should know, he is a Dancer.

Ever wonder why your life is crap? Maybe some medication from a puddle will help ease the pain, make sure you boil it first, worms dont help depression unless you are from France or another place where insects in your blood stream are considered to be less spooky than the average doctor.

Why was The Simpons shit for 10 years? I thought it was pretty good actually, people said they jumped the shark when Almond Tamzarian turned up, I agree, that was horrible but Why judge the next 10 years on a single episode? Nobody can hold a grudge for that long, well, maybe God.

Only a hundred or so years out of last century are commented about at wikipedia.org who is writing these articles about moustache combs, could these peoples lives be possibly worse than our own? Are we less for it from reading them? At least they are researching stuff and gaining intelligence, we just sit there naked covered in cheese flavouring hitting "Random Article" until something we can jack off to comes on the screen.

In 40000 years you will be dead. Does that scare you? Probably not, as you come from Generation X, you fuck. I wasn't even alive in the 80s. Can you imagine that? Being a feotus when Nirvana was famous? Its so mind bogglingly scary to imagine that there are people younger than you, even for me and I'm 15. I look at 6 year olds and wonder what it will be like growing up, being a teenager when MySpace is so cemented in society that they have one made for them by there school.

What your probably wondering now is why I'm typing this.

RELEZE TANKEMS OLOL


Sep. 25, 2007 | 4:09 PM PlatinumX9 says:

when the hell are you releasing TM 2?


Sep. 25, 2007 | 6:06 PM Gutterfly says:

tankmen 2.


Sep. 25, 2007 | 9:41 PM deadspread83 says:

I agree about the Batman series. Also, the movie they made for that series (Mask of the Phantasm) although homoerotically titled was fucking sweet. I was worried the superman movie would suck...I'm just sorry you had to waist your money for me to find out...


Sep. 25, 2007 | 10:28 PM Milamber24 says:

I am very sad that I could not enjoy Tankmen today. I do hope upon my return home tomorrow I shall have the pleasure of watching it.

Still <3

Sep. 26, 2007 | 4:08 PM Unkle-Krakerz says:

Well, to tell you the truth, I thought it was gonna be a great high-qaulity movie cuz of it's Great looking chamercial. But if Lois' voice is just that bad, maybe I shouldn't watch it ): I can't stand bad voice acting. The emblem looked cool with the hint of blood drippin' off the emblem and it reminded me of that movie Drive-Thru with the burger and the ketchup acting as blood, it just made me wanna stare at that cover for 20 minutes.

Well other than that I hope to see TANKMEN 2.

Sep. 26, 2007 | 4:11 PM Unkle-Krakerz says:

Okay, man my last post, this is incredible, I posted my last post, checked your flash page and TANKMEN 2 was right there Under Judgement!

Now that's what I call just what the doctor ordered.

What about that list of music in TANKMEN 2?

Sep. 26, 2007 | 4:41 PM Gamemeister128bit says:

How does this not take place in the DCAU? Did Warner Bros. forget they had a fanbase? If this movie wasn't rooted in that continuity, the least they could have done was be faithful to the comic. I would kill for an animated JLI.

Or, more accurately, I would kill for an animated Blue Beetle and Booster Gold.

Man...I was gonna netflex it...
