Toadmaster Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 I'm mixed between whether this belongs here or the NGD but I figure if you people don't know which ones are good you've picked an odd genre to play. Its hard to miss the big studio movies (The Hulk, Spiderman etc) but I see alot of supers series DVD's at Walmart and such, I'm wondering which ones are worth getting. I really liked the Batman Animated Series and have the 1st 2 collections (I think its up to 4 now), also like Justice League. I have a 6 year old who likes both of the above and would like to get some more variety for him (and it doesn't hurt that I like them too ). I've seen a fantastic 4 series and just saw an Iron Man DVD is coming out next year, just wondering whats out there that is of similar quality to Batman and Justice League.

wrestlinggeek Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 Re: Good animated supers flicks? The Batman- New series, not in standard DCAU continuity. Some DVDs available. Ultimate Avengers- A cross between classic Avengers and The Ultimates. Lots of action. The Incredibles- Disney/Pixar. Not comics characters, but great movie. Solid family entertainment. Need any more? If it doesn't have to be animated, I recommend Sky High from Disney. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamLeisemann Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 Re: Good animated supers flicks? I recall Iron Man was good. If you can find the Spiderman animated series, I would reccomend that too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kal Oridon Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 Re: Good animated supers flicks?

Killer Shrike Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 Re: Good animated supers flicks? Batman Beyond seasons 1 and 2 are available in DVD and are awesome. Season 3 should be out soon. Done by the same team as the JLU and Batman / Superman (Bruce Timm et al), and my favorite series of theirs.

Spence Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 Re: Good animated supers flicks? I liked animated "Teen Titans" in addition to the already mentioned ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandi Posted December 7, 2006 Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 Re: Good animated supers flicks? Is Ben 10 on DVD yet? I admit I find Ben an irritating personality, but the basic premise of the show is cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ebon Posted December 7, 2006 Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 Re: Good animated supers flicks? Superman: The Animated Series (Parts of Justice League/Justice League Unlimited stem directly from events in the last season of this series. Batman: The Animated Series (Remember, there are multiple volumes to this, not 'seasons' per se because of the bizarre way modern animated shows do seasons). Teen Titans: Complete Season 1 and 2 Justice League/Justice League Unlimited. JLU Season 1 of this that just came out and is technically JLU season 1 and 2. The ending episode, Epilogue, is an effective closure to Batman: TAS, JL, and Batman Beyond. Batman Beyond season 1 and 2. X-Men Evolution Seasons 1 and 3 are available from Amazon. Season 2 as far as I know continues to still be available only in the four individual disc sets. The Batman Seasons 1 and 2: this is the new Batman series currently airing. Ben 10 Season 1 will be available on Feb 6, I think. Ultimate Avengers 1 and 2 are good, but probably not so good for a young child. They have a more adult tone to them. Static Shock was on DVD, but I'm uncertain if they are still in print. Excellent series, and writer/creator Dwayne McDuffie went on to write a lot of JL stuff. There are two JLA crossovers in his series, and you see him all grown up in two of the JL episodes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toadmaster Posted December 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2006 Re: Good animated supers flicks? Thanks, I have some of those listed (love Samauri Jack), but hadn't even heard of a few. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alverant Posted December 10, 2006 Report Share Posted December 10, 2006 Re: Good animated supers flicks? I didn't like the series much, but The Tick had some interesting ideas about what happens in society when superheroes become commonplace. (A superhero bar with a sidekick area out back for example.)
