James Woods was so perfect as Owlman, which made Batman’s vocal situation all the more dissatisfying. Where was the grit and the bass? Unacceptable! Ultraman’s New Jersey accent made both of us giggle, as did the sight of ’70s-era Black Lightning.

The Wonder Woman movie was excellent, and we both wondered why Keri Russell didn’t make a return appearance for this film. And as much as I liked the New Frontier film, the Darwyn Cooke comic is SO much better — definitely a must-own.

YAY! Our darling J. You never have to apologize for rambling. It’s good stuff.

My favorite scene: Wonder Woman takes her elbow straight in between Superwoman’s shoulder blades with the added flare of “SUBMIT!” If they would have added a “bitch” on the end of that, I might have done a little dance. But like you said, PG-13…or something.

I’ve watched all the DC animated, and Wonder Woman is the best one. New Frontier is a close second, but I really loved that book. At times, the Wondy animated really moved me. Like I get a little choked up when she does some really kick ass shit. Does that make me…a girl? Tee hee. Whatevs.

Me and E. shared eyes when we first heard Bats speak. It was kinda like…not working.

Allow me a moment to complain about the choice of VA for Batman. I mean, there were some good lines Bats had, but the deliverance left far too much to be desired. I just tried to imagine Conroy’s voice whenever Batman opened his mouth. It helped. James Woods on the other hand had me picking up my jaw and mopping up my drool whenever Owlman spoke. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: whenever I read Owlman from now on, I’ll hear James Woods.

Being the nitpick I can be, there were a number of aspects I missed seeing about the Syndicate. Such as the blatant sexuality between Superwoman and Owlman. Superwoman was all over it, but Owlman’s characterization, to me, came across as much more cold and stiff than I’m used to seeing. But I digress. It’s only PG-13. And I can get my weird Superwoman/Owlman fix in the comics. Let me also mention that Ultraman’s new outfit had me laughing, sniggering, and eventually slightly scowling each time he appeared.

Hands down, some of the best scenes, and I hope to not spoil anyone who hasn’t seen it yet, was when SW flew into the invisible jet with Diana at the controls, and when WW socked SW a good one in the jaw for talking smack. Excellent. Pure win, if I do say so myself.

There were other aspects that I won’t go into that I both loved and was disappointed in, but overall it was a great movie. One that I look forward to watching again soon.

On another note, to date I will stand by the opinion that the WW movie has been the best out of the recent bout of animated DC direct-to-DVD movies. Granted, I haven’t seen Green Lantern, New Frontier, or Doomsday yet. And we will have to see how Under the Hood turns out as well.

Sorry for rambling your eyes out. ^_^’
