    Superman was good, also Lanterns, Peacemaker, and Creature Commandos. I did bail about a third of the way into Supergirl, which just felt like a rejected Guardians of the Galaxy script.

      Supergirl is a very good comic with beautiful art. I don’t know how they turned that into such an ugly and crappy movie.

          Gunn read the script. He saw how they mangled the story from the start and did nothing. The comic series the movie is based on is in my personal top 5.

            I didn’t even care that there was a poorly-behaved dog in danger. You’ll have to take my word for it, but that is an extremely strong indictment of a movie’s pacing and writing.

            I read that there was a lot of head butting between the director and Gunn.

          I agree. For DC standards it was good. Felt like the Moonknight case where it was so hyped for no reason. Barely any action or plot. Wish they make these drama type series with characters more suited.

      There are some other animated shows worth a look. The adventures with Superman was really fun and I loved the Suicide Squad Iseki. That was so absurd in the perfect way.

        i think thier animated series do much better, because they can cover more villians/heros comprehensively than the movies, or live actions.
