Black Panther (2010)
Good series too bad they wanted to play politics in the end.
Art style was great but the animation style leaves something to be desired. The voice casting did a great job. Actors provided a living feel to all the characters. I was impressed with the selection of the villains. This story is definitely adult oriented. Storyline has such depth and complexity. I enjoyed how the story did not become a predictable, canned retelling of the origin of the Black Panther. The strong African nation that resolves it's own destiny is excellent. Unfortunately to end the story with such one sided politics shows poor judgment for a story that should have remained non-partisan. Still would recommend watching 98% of the movie.
Green Lantern: First Flight (2009)
Good story but nothing out of this world
Basically the retelling the origin of Hal Jordan. It is great to see a character that I grew up reading about on the screen, but Hal Jordan's character seems a bit generic or two dimensional. Sinestro's character is much better developed. Some discrepancies:
When the flight simulator lands Jordan next to Abin-sur, then the ship explodes and Jordan is seen floating above an empty crater but no flight simulator. Then it magically reappears when he comes back to the base.
Also if the dead lantern's ring's are drained of power how do they come back to Oa?
Why did the guardians not use telepathy on Jordan to prove his innocence guilt? Overall a good movie, not a great one but pretty good.
Batman: The Brave and the Bold (2008)
This is the kind of show that nearly destroyed the Batman mythos
The campy writing of this series with the impossible tools, cars, and action sequences make this show deserving of only one season. There is a proper way to portray the Batman in a kid friendly way that does not bring the horrible Batman of the 1960's back.
The characters are two-dimensional and unbelievable.
If you want this type of writing watch the Power Rangers. This type of writing is what nearly destroyed the Batman mythos.
DC should shelve this garbage and hopefully it will be just an ugly blemish.
Children deserve good writing, otherwise garbage in and garbage out.
