I've been a casual fan of DC animation since the original Batman animated series and I can hardly keep up with what's going on because I missed a few movies. I didn't even know about the first Crisis movie until I saw the second one had recently dropped. WB really needs a new marketing team.
It's kinda crazy how people originally said the CW's Crisis on Infinite Earths was so underwhelming and bad yet here we are 4 years later. Because I have seen tons of people come around and say "Hey CW's Crisis on Infinite Earths wasn't so bad. We were way too harsh on it." With the animated movies along with The Flash movie (because it also has cameos, deals with the multiverse and was supposedly the launching pad for James Gunn DC's universe) it really puts into perspective on how to execute a multiverse destroying story that involves dozens of cameos to pay homage to everything that came before.
Crisis on infinite earths is vastly becoming an overused adaption this shouldn't be a universe “endgame” there are plenty of crisis’ that are better to adapt into movies or shows like infinite crisis, final crisis, identity crisis, heroes in crisis. Worldly to Universal threats are just fine when you start to go multiversal you seem to lose the plot very easily.
COIE has its value, though. But it's a functional story, and they still haven't shown how they're going to fulfill those functions: Reboot everything, and go from an infinitude to a unity. The problem is, the writers are somewhat afraid of what that means, and let's be honest: It was only possible in the comics because Marv Wolfman, George Perez, and Jeanette Kahn had no idea the full extent of what they were doing; in fact, one of the big mistakes was letting each team operate independently in deciding what the new world would look like. (So, you get things like Donna Troy's many origins, or two Black Canaries, or everything about Hawkman.)
Tomorrowverse is pretty much a grade A mess of a franchise. The animation and design are just so bland. The stories & plot are typical lazy writing at its worst. The characters are wooden & so unlikeable. Is times like this I missed the days when DC animated movies (Pre Flashpoint) were actually good and enjoyable to watch.
It's kinda funny, they have Batwing show up for like 2 seconds in the beginning with the Batfamily, and then he's gone for the rest of the movie. At least John Stewart got a badass moment, unlike in the DCAMU where he dies before finishing his GL oath and trying to punch Darkseid. Yeah, he wouldn't beat Darkseid, but you could've let him try.
the problem for me is that they didnt get more movies, the crisis movies as of now are good but due to james gunn wanting to have the animated projects be tied to the dcu they had to rush this 100% there should be a batman beyond movie, an earth 2 batman movie and a kingdom come superman movie at the very least
Both of these first two films felt like 80% unnecessary filler. There’s zero reason for this to have been split up into 3 movies from just a story standpoint if they had just taken the filler out.
Ever listen to the graphic audio version? It’s pretty good, my favorite adaptation of crisis. If you don’t like it I will accept blame for disappointing you a third time.
Honestly Batman has a point about him sending children out to fight crime. Yeah he may not be lonely, but the kids childhood is still a bit messed up with the crime fighting. I mean you would think that Batman would like to push these kids away from crime fighting and the cost of it all.
The only Batman that was against sending kids out on dangerous missions every night, rare for me to hear him say that but kinda realistic when you think about it
as someone thats watched all the dc animated stuff including just watching part 3 today, i this is like god tier content compared to what other offerings there are out there in the last 3 years. I feel like this is overly critical, idk why you want the animated shows to rehash every single character when as a DC fan you already know where they come from so its like pointless exposition anyway
I’m relieved in knowing it’s not just me….as someone who may not be familiar with the comics and just watching for entertainment this just feels like unless you’re familiar with COIE you’ll be Stuck or bored with the movie a lot of times..then to start the 2nd film, the narration 1 character while switching to other things happening “maybe” at the same time really confused me….and not to compare a movie to tv series, I’d take X-Men ‘97 Episode(1&2) > JL Crisis(1&2)
I like the way it tied into the rest of the Tomorrowverse by showing where Supergirl was before Legion of Superheroes and the reveal that Psycho Pirate was the one controlling Aquaman in Justice Society WW2. Also revealing that Psycho Pirate was disguised in the Blue Beetle showcase was cool. But as a movie, it wasn’t great and didn’t feel like a complete film. The Batman parts felt unnecessary and it needed a stronger conclusion.
Five months later and I just found out that all my favourite DC shows growing up as a kid just got eliminated because DCC felt like they needed to reset something
The Batman disrespect is crazy. I Genuinely hardly see this version of Batman as the Bat due to his extreme arrogance and lack of awareness. Instead of seeing the potential in a family, in a sidekick, instead of acknowledging that fostering Dick evidently turned out good, he insults Dick. Gets mad at him. And seemingly belittles my boy. Like B, how much evidence do you need to admit you were wrong? Project Robin should be a go after seeing the Bat-family being plausible, and effective. I also feel as if it’s pretty disrespectful to Dick, making it seem like he’s incapable due to him being a kid, which in Dc has been proven false time and time again. Bad movie. Bad verse. Bad Batman. Bad writing. Bad animation. Bad voice acting. Bad everything.
@@Rengokuo4o6 No he ain’t G. If this was Irl then he’d have a point. But this is a comic book verse, we’ve seen 10 year olds take down groups of gunmen and perform feats of mental fortitude No grown man could Irl. Within the context of the Dcu, he’s more than wrong. He’s being arrogant to the case studies in-front of him. He’s looking at living proof that he is wrong on his stance, and he still won’t concede. That’s pure idiocy from this version of Batman.
@@silver______ In the comic books, they all die. All of them or they blame Batman for not being a good father. Need i remind you of Jason or Damien? Even Dick and Tim. Barbara Gordon got her back blown out by Joker. Stephanie Brown, they all had worse stuff done to them or die. This is in the comics so the point still stands. Even if it is just a comic book not real life, the principle still stands. What Bruce is doing is essentially....i am sorry to say this but it is Human trafficking and Child labour. No, whether they wanted it or not is immaterial. Believe me, i have no problem with the issue of suspending my disbelief, but it is very disingenuous not to point out that the kids are essentially in danger on these missions even with their skills. I love Robin but it's just facts.
@@Rengokuo4o6 Dick considers Batman a great father. He’s stated so multiple times even recently. Jasons death is nobody but the fans fault, so it’s kinda silly bringing him up as if he’s some kind of case study proving your stance. He’s not. Do keep in mind by Irl standard 13 year old Jason Todd was 100% Superhuman based on feats. Which proves Kid sidekicks can be effective, and further creates a distinction between kids irl and kids in Dc. Which also lessens any appeal to Irl logic as it pertains to these kids. What happened to Barbara was due to her connection to Jim not Batman. And Batman didn’t recruit her, she became Batgirl on her own, Batman couldn’t stop her so *eventually* he equipped her to better ensure her safety. As is the case with Dick, Tim, Damian, Stephanie and basically every family member aside from Jason. Plus, she was an adult when Joker shot her. Dick has never died in main continuity, and the only instances of him almost being killed are when he’s an adult and solo. Tim has never been killed in main continuity. In fact he’s considered in verse to be a massive success, and due to Batmans tutelage has become one of the greatest detectives alive. Damian sacrificed himself. His death had nothing to do with the fact he was a kid. Human Trafficking is the recruitment, transportation, transfer, harbouring or receipt of people through force, fraud or deception, with the aim of exploiting them for profit. Batman has made it clear he does what he does to better his children. Not profit. Which has been proven to work considering Nightwing in main continuity is considered the best vigilante and leader in Dc, which he credits to Batman. And make no mistake, he isn’t trafficking these kids, by definition he isn’t, tbh saying so is quite ridiculous and moronic. Dick, Jason, Tim and Damian are legally his kids, and know full well what they’re doing. And it’s also not Child labor, since child labour is the exploitation of children through any form of work that interferes with their ability to attend regular school, or is mentally, physically, socially and morally harmful. Batman ensures all the robins attend school. Have friends. Take time off. Sit out missions too dangerous. Are physically healthy, in better condition than 100% of the real world. He even teaches them healing techniques that allow them to heal exponentially faster. Mentally strong, with every member of the Family being genus’s with iron clad willpower and ensures they learn to control their physical energy (ki) and emotions. As for “morally harmful” the Batfamily are some of the most morally righteous heroes in Dc. What they want isn’t immaterial. These “Kids” are Super-geniuses with a greater control over their minds than any human alive Irl. I’d argue due to those facts that what they want is more relevant and valid than what any adult with a below 150 iq wants. And as I said earlier, as has been confirmed, most these characters would’ve became vigilantes with or without Batman. Batman just provides the proper equipment, training and supervision and ensure they develop properly mentally so they don’t turn out as he did. Which is proven to work in Dc. When talking about these kids, conventional concepts, rules and limitations as it pertain to raising these kids are thrown out the window purely due to how capable and competent these characters are.
My issue is.. it's NOT good. It's like someone took Regular Meatball and Spaghetti, some some Chicken Alfredo, and they said "you guys like these right? well"... *Proceeds to mix them in a big pot* "ok.. have at it!.." then they say "what?! Not really sure about it? ok.. wait till I get the salmon patties mixed in there.. you'll love it!" and we are like "wut?"
I’m excited for part 3. Not because I think it’ll be good, but because I heard that it’ll Kevin Conroy’s last performance as the animated Batman one last time.
It’s depressing that DC animation was the 1 thing DC had over marvel, and now Marvel is coming out with Bangers in their animation department. James Gunn has so much pressure on him, cause it’s up to him to bring interest back into DC.
This is slightly off topic but it kinda bugs that everything has to be a crisis event yes it's based on the comic but still. Also damn this was a short universe
I think they lowkey undersell this line of animated movies once James Gunn signed on and said he was making changes. Once that happened, all these animated Tomorrowverse projects just became place holders til Gunn's regime begins proper. This is why we get the lackluster writing and the inconsistant animation. Theres no heart in it at all.
It was always planned to be a 10 movie series (including Long Haloween pt1 and 2, that makes crisis part 3 the 10th film). It was meant to be a relatively self-contained and focused series, it wasn't supposed to be a protracted and unending series like how flashpoint went on until they figured it needed a reboot. This was so they could see how a story told that way could work, and if it's more attractive to viewers, given that you don't have to watch 10, 12, 20 movies to be entirely caught up the way you do with a broader universe. It's also worth noting that they knew something was happening with management when the Tomorrowverse first started getting developed. They knew there would be another reboot, so instead of planning another long continuity, they built something that would begin and end within a set number of stories. They've been pretty open about this since the beginning.
It’s the constant back and forth flashbacks. Wasn’t at all what the trailers were showing. I was expecting our Earth 1 heroes to grow and recruit from other earths into this massive defence.
I’m glad this universe is ending with part 3. Because it really goes back to what you said four weeks ago in the downfall of DC animation too many animated movies are connected to the DC universe instead of being a standalone thing I mean when was the last time we got a solo flash movie after flashpoint Paradox like I just miss having solo DC movies, I mean, yeah sure Jensen Ackles is great as Batman but I just feel like his performance is really flat like he didn’t care. I mean he did but he had no direction which honestly kind of sucks because Jensen Ackles really loves Batman.
Icl instead of Justice League warworld they should'be made a normal Justice League movie and continue the universe for another 10 or so movies before crisis on infinite earths
Heck the original comics had the best solution for crisis set up. Crisis on earth 2, crisis on earth 3, crisis on earth x, earth-A, earth-S, earth-4 Etc.. those crossovers were the set up that made crisis so important. It’s why the comic was called crisis on infinite earths, because that was only way to conclude such sagas. Also minor point but I do miss the silver age crime syndicate. They were the bad guys but they understood the importance of keeping the earth at least somewhat stable. It’s why their deaths actually felt tragic. Heck before dying ultraman looks exactly like Superman in terms of spirit and would later be resurrected to stop a Superman worse than he ever was.
Another banger video. 💪🏿 DC Animation honestly needs a better marketing team ‘cause I didn’t even know it existed until you started talking about it 😂. But now with James Gunn’s new universe coming up they better be more cohesive and consistent with releasing their animated movies.
These days cartoon graphics and movement are disgusting and boring like this cartoon. Compare it to Justice League, Justice League Unlimited, Superman/Batman Apokolips 2010, First JLU Crises of Infinite Earth 2010, Wonder Woman 2009, It can never beat them. 2012 is the Last best year cartoons had proper graphics and movement.
We have had 2 adaptations of Crisis, now, in the CW and now this animated movie. And in both instances it always looks like the writers would rather write something else. Part 2 seems a bit more on track, though.
i'm tired of DC changing the storyline/plots/characters. i was ready for this but after the first part, i'm not wasting my money on anymore until this universe is rebooted, AGAIN.
Part 2 was ESPECIALLY boring and I don't feel anything happened but it was a full feature length movie. Yikes. The only thing I can recall was part 1 when the flash accelerated time to build the towers wih his wife.
I didn’t like the new 52 DC universe at all. My favorite was the Superman Batman public enemies/Batman UTRH/ Superman Batman Apocalypse era of the animated films. when I saw the tommorow verse trailers I didn’t even give them a chance. Good to hear they’re ending it
The DC Tomorrowverse feels less like a consistent shared universe of movies and more like overly long episodes of a TV show. The weirdest thing about this universe is that Wonder Woman isn’t a founding member of the Earth 1 Justice League. Supposedly she doesn’t even exist, it’s only Earth 2 Wonder Woman in the JSA. The only good movie is Batman: The Long Halloween.
I'm just going out on a limb here and talking about the bat family, it goes without saying the Dick Grayson Robin and Helena Wayne Huntress are from Earth 2, now the Damian Wayne Robin that's a bit more difficult to place because the Earth One Batman has not met Talia yet, so the Damian Wayne is from another Earth as well maybe from before flash fixed the universe i dont know, Barbara Gordon Batgirl was in the crisis comics, I don't remember what her role was...
I had a middling opinion of the first part, but holy shit ---- Spoiling only the very opening of the film here ---- When the second part opens with killing commissioner Gordon and an extended batfamily shows up and Barbera absolutely doesn't have anything to say about it blew my mind, sure, I can make sense of it to a degree, THIS batman was the only one who saw who it was before joker blew up his corpse. THIS batman probably doesn't know Batgirl is his Gordon's daughter because he's our precious loner batman now for whatever reason, even though he could tell Huntress's mom just by looking at her whatever.... Point is, if you are killing off that gordon and not doing anything with it what was the point? It could have been part of the whole message about family and accepting the risks of their insane duty in gotham. I would watch a movie actually focused on this batman having to accept that he's wrong to reject their way but this movie, even as a trilogy is unlikely to do that concept any justice.
I always thought it was a weird choice that The Specter punished Constantine and not The Flash 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 bro got sent to hell off the strength of making a suggestion
To me, I think the only genuinely great films in the Tomorrowverse have been Superman: Man of Tomorrow and Batman: The Long Halloween (more so Part 1 than Part 2). Otherwise, everything else has been very average or lackluster, and these two parts of Crisis so far have been no different. They definitely should’ve have built up this universe way more before choosing to do “Crisis.” It’s a crucial DC story for a reason, so it just hurts to see them do it this poorly.
I went into this movie not watching any other movie after dark apocolypse war. When i watched these movies they made no sense i spent 3 hours watching them and just dont get it.
I dont think you should get your hopes up for part 3 because given how parts 1 and 2 were written, i doubt the 3rd film can fix it. Heck, the Tomorroverse was a complete from the very start.
I just can't really process what's even happening in these movies with all the time jumping in part 1 and the multiple backstories in part 2. It's really hard to process the actual plot. I wanted to give this a chance after liking the DCAMU so much and being disappointed with how it ended, but it just never captured me and now it's ending in a very jumbled way. It's a shame.
Crisis On Infinite Earths was created almost 40 years ago to clean up the bloated DC comics and to have a unified continuity with a single universe. Since then we had numerous reboots. The Crisis movie disrespected it.
How are they going to do a Crisis and not include the Timmverse in it or other iterations of DC cartoons? They needed to answer those questions before the pen hit the paper.
I’m 99% sure they rushed tomorrow verse crisis event because it’s gonna reboot into James Gunn DCU animation universe.
That is a good point actually
Its obvious they went with that way. They want the next animated ones tied to Gunn DCU
Cmon they had their chance. JG DVU isn't to blame. The scary thing is it did exactly what the DCEU did, that Jeff Wamester guy is the Zack Snyder of the DC animated universe
No, this universe was a mess from the beginning. Honestly, this just feels like more of the same.
You forget what DC is best at.
They're the best at making a few mistakes, and instead of fixing them, they reboot the whole universe. Prime Earth has been rebooted a good 7 times in the past 20-ish years.

COIE has its value, though. But it's a functional story, and they still haven't shown how they're going to fulfill those functions: Reboot everything, and go from an infinitude to a unity. The problem is, the writers are somewhat afraid of what that means, and let's be honest: It was only possible in the comics because Marv Wolfman, George Perez, and Jeanette Kahn had no idea the full extent of what they were doing; in fact, one of the big mistakes was letting each team operate independently in deciding what the new world would look like. (So, you get things like Donna Troy's many origins, or two Black Canaries, or everything about Hawkman.)
Tomorrowverse is pretty much a grade A mess of a franchise. The animation and design are just so bland. The stories & plot are typical lazy writing at its worst. The characters are wooden & so unlikeable. Is times like this I missed the days when DC animated movies (Pre Flashpoint) were actually good and enjoyable to watch.
It's kinda funny, they have Batwing show up for like 2 seconds in the beginning with the Batfamily, and then he's gone for the rest of the movie. At least John Stewart got a badass moment, unlike in the DCAMU where he dies before finishing his GL oath and trying to punch Darkseid. Yeah, he wouldn't beat Darkseid, but you could've let him try.
Keep up the good work bro. Love the DC content you do. Plus you really see all the ish for exactly what it is. 👊🏿
Batman Beyond was the highlight for me even tho he barely had any lines lol
7:56 that is all the evidence i need to watch this
the problem for me is that they didnt get more movies, the crisis movies as of now are good but due to james gunn wanting to have the animated projects be tied to the dcu they had to rush this
100% there should be a batman beyond movie, an earth 2 batman movie and a kingdom come superman movie at the very least
Both of these first two films felt like 80% unnecessary filler. There’s zero reason for this to have been split up into 3 movies from just a story standpoint if they had just taken the filler out.
This is twice now there have been underwhelming adaptations of DC's greatest crossover story.
Ever listen to the graphic audio version? It’s pretty good, my favorite adaptation of crisis. If you don’t like it I will accept blame for disappointing you a third time.
Honestly Batman has a point about him sending children out to fight crime. Yeah he may not be lonely, but the kids childhood is still a bit messed up with the crime fighting. I mean you would think that Batman would like to push these kids away from crime fighting and the cost of it all.
He tries but half of these kids still try to fight criminals on their own even when batman advises them not to at first
yeah ... your right. I had no idea part 2 was out
I was so disappointed when there wasnt much for terry
The only Batman that was against sending kids out on dangerous missions every night, rare for me to hear him say that but kinda realistic when you think about it
The Constantine showcase was really good
This crisis was a decent concept but marketing and timing was off the charts
as someone thats watched all the dc animated stuff including just watching part 3 today, i this is like god tier content compared to what other offerings there are out there in the last 3 years. I feel like this is overly critical, idk why you want the animated shows to rehash every single character when as a DC fan you already know where they come from so its like pointless exposition anyway
I’m relieved in knowing it’s not just me….as someone who may not be familiar with the comics and just watching for entertainment this just feels like unless you’re familiar with COIE you’ll be Stuck or bored with the movie a lot of times..then to start the 2nd film, the narration 1 character while switching to other things happening “maybe” at the same time really confused me….and not to compare a movie to tv series, I’d take X-Men ‘97 Episode(1&2) > JL Crisis(1&2)
I like the way it tied into the rest of the Tomorrowverse by showing where Supergirl was before Legion of Superheroes and the reveal that Psycho Pirate was the one controlling Aquaman in Justice Society WW2. Also revealing that Psycho Pirate was disguised in the Blue Beetle showcase was cool. But as a movie, it wasn’t great and didn’t feel like a complete film. The Batman parts felt unnecessary and it needed a stronger conclusion.
Five months later and I just found out that all my favourite DC shows growing up as a kid just got eliminated because DCC felt like they needed to reset something
The Batman disrespect is crazy.
I Genuinely hardly see this version of Batman as the Bat due to his extreme arrogance and lack of awareness.
Instead of seeing the potential in a family, in a sidekick, instead of acknowledging that fostering Dick evidently turned out good, he insults Dick.
Gets mad at him.
And seemingly belittles my boy.
Like B, how much evidence do you need to admit you were wrong? Project Robin should be a go after seeing the Bat-family being plausible, and effective.
I also feel as if it’s pretty disrespectful to Dick, making it seem like he’s incapable due to him being a kid, which in Dc has been proven false time and time again.
Bad movie.
Bad verse.
Bad Batman.
Bad writing.
Bad animation.
Bad voice acting.
Bad everything.
He shouldn't be taking kids in and making them fight a war. That's the truth. He's kinda right.
@@Rengokuo4o6 No he ain’t G.
If this was Irl then he’d have a point.
But this is a comic book verse, we’ve seen 10 year olds take down groups of gunmen and perform feats of mental fortitude No grown man could Irl.
Within the context of the Dcu, he’s more than wrong. He’s being arrogant to the case studies in-front of him.
He’s looking at living proof that he is wrong on his stance, and he still won’t concede.
That’s pure idiocy from this version of Batman.
@@silver______ In the comic books, they all die. All of them or they blame Batman for not being a good father. Need i remind you of Jason or Damien? Even Dick and Tim. Barbara Gordon got her back blown out by Joker. Stephanie Brown, they all had worse stuff done to them or die. This is in the comics so the point still stands. Even if it is just a comic book not real life, the principle still stands. What Bruce is doing is essentially....i am sorry to say this but it is Human trafficking and Child labour. No, whether they wanted it or not is immaterial. Believe me, i have no problem with the issue of suspending my disbelief, but it is very disingenuous not to point out that the kids are essentially in danger on these missions even with their skills. I love Robin but it's just facts.
@@Rengokuo4o6 Dick considers Batman a great father. He’s stated so multiple times even recently.
Jasons death is nobody but the fans fault, so it’s kinda silly bringing him up as if he’s some kind of case study proving your stance.
He’s not.
Do keep in mind by Irl standard 13 year old Jason Todd was 100% Superhuman based on feats.
Which proves Kid sidekicks can be effective, and further creates a distinction between kids irl and kids in Dc.
Which also lessens any appeal to Irl logic as it pertains to these kids.
What happened to Barbara was due to her connection to Jim not Batman.
And Batman didn’t recruit her, she became Batgirl on her own, Batman couldn’t stop her so *eventually* he equipped her to better ensure her safety.
As is the case with Dick, Tim, Damian, Stephanie and basically every family member aside from Jason.
Plus, she was an adult when Joker shot her.
Dick has never died in main continuity, and the only instances of him almost being killed are when he’s an adult and solo.
Tim has never been killed in main continuity.
In fact he’s considered in verse to be a massive success, and due to Batmans tutelage has become one of the greatest detectives alive.
Damian sacrificed himself.
His death had nothing to do with the fact he was a kid.
Human Trafficking is the recruitment, transportation, transfer, harbouring or receipt of people through force, fraud or deception, with the aim of exploiting them for profit.
Batman has made it clear he does what he does to better his children.
Not profit.
Which has been proven to work considering Nightwing in main continuity is considered the best vigilante and leader in Dc, which he credits to Batman.
And make no mistake, he isn’t trafficking these kids, by definition he isn’t, tbh saying so is quite ridiculous and moronic. Dick, Jason, Tim and Damian are legally his kids, and know full well what they’re doing.
And it’s also not Child labor, since child labour is the exploitation of children through any form of work that interferes with their ability to attend regular school, or is mentally, physically, socially and morally harmful.
Batman ensures all the robins attend school.
Have friends.
Take time off.
Sit out missions too dangerous.
Are physically healthy, in better condition than 100% of the real world. He even teaches them healing techniques that allow them to heal exponentially faster.
Mentally strong, with every member of the Family being genus’s with iron clad willpower and ensures they learn to control their physical energy (ki) and emotions.
As for “morally harmful” the Batfamily are some of the most morally righteous heroes in Dc.
What they want isn’t immaterial. These “Kids” are Super-geniuses with a greater control over their minds than any human alive Irl.
I’d argue due to those facts that what they want is more relevant and valid than what any adult with a below 150 iq wants.
And as I said earlier, as has been confirmed, most these characters would’ve became vigilantes with or without Batman.
Batman just provides the proper equipment, training and supervision and ensure they develop properly mentally so they don’t turn out as he did.
Which is proven to work in Dc.
When talking about these kids, conventional concepts, rules and limitations as it pertain to raising these kids are thrown out the window purely due to how capable and competent these characters are.
because this batman doesnt practice child labor it doesnt make him bad
The animation is putting me to sleep, I watched a preview on yt and it felt so slow and lifeless. You can feel the terrible budget
My issue is.. it's NOT good. It's like someone took Regular Meatball and Spaghetti, some some Chicken Alfredo, and they said "you guys like these right? well"... *Proceeds to mix them in a big pot* "ok.. have at it!.." then they say "what?! Not really sure about it? ok.. wait till I get the salmon patties mixed in there.. you'll love it!" and we are like "wut?"
I’m excited for part 3. Not because I think it’ll be good, but because I heard that it’ll Kevin Conroy’s last performance as the animated Batman one last time.
It’s depressing that DC animation was the 1 thing DC had over marvel, and now Marvel is coming out with Bangers in their animation department. James Gunn has so much pressure on him, cause it’s up to him to bring interest back into DC.
i didnt even know the tomorrow verse was a thing until stumbling into a trailer of crisis in infinite earths
This is slightly off topic but it kinda bugs that everything has to be a crisis event yes it's based on the comic but still.
Also damn this was a short universe
I actively avoid these Tomorrowverse movies, they look too ugly, sound terrible and move awkwardly. Glad it's gone
I think they lowkey undersell this line of animated movies once James Gunn signed on and said he was making changes. Once that happened, all these animated Tomorrowverse projects just became place holders til Gunn's regime begins proper. This is why we get the lackluster writing and the inconsistant animation.
Theres no heart in it at all.
I'm always happy to see batman beyond
It was always planned to be a 10 movie series (including Long Haloween pt1 and 2, that makes crisis part 3 the 10th film). It was meant to be a relatively self-contained and focused series, it wasn't supposed to be a protracted and unending series like how flashpoint went on until they figured it needed a reboot. This was so they could see how a story told that way could work, and if it's more attractive to viewers, given that you don't have to watch 10, 12, 20 movies to be entirely caught up the way you do with a broader universe.
It's also worth noting that they knew something was happening with management when the Tomorrowverse first started getting developed. They knew there would be another reboot, so instead of planning another long continuity, they built something that would begin and end within a set number of stories. They've been pretty open about this since the beginning.
It’s the constant back and forth flashbacks. Wasn’t at all what the trailers were showing. I was expecting our Earth 1 heroes to grow and recruit from other earths into this massive defence.
I noticed that some of these movies like Green Lantern: Beware My Power aren't on HBO Max anymore. Does anyone know why?
Tomorrow verse just feels lifeless.....i only watch it because I guess out of loyalty but id take new 52 movies anyday.
As much as I love it, it saddens me that almost 40 years later and the best adaptation of crisis is still the graphic audio version.
DCAMU was like a 7 or 8 this
tomorrowverse is barely a 5
I’m glad this universe is ending with part 3. Because it really goes back to what you said four weeks ago in the downfall of DC animation too many animated movies are connected to the DC universe instead of being a standalone thing I mean when was the last time we got a solo flash movie after flashpoint Paradox like I just miss having solo DC movies, I mean, yeah sure Jensen Ackles is great as Batman but I just feel like his performance is really flat like he didn’t care. I mean he did but he had no direction which honestly kind of sucks because Jensen Ackles really loves Batman.
I only watched, like 4 movies of the Tomorrowverse, and that was it.
Learning about the issues of this seties made me completely check out of it.
We’re is part 2 I didn’t even know it was out and can’t find it on Max
Icl instead of Justice League warworld they should'be made a normal Justice League movie and continue the universe for another 10 or so movies before crisis on infinite earths
Heck the original comics had the best solution for crisis set up.
Crisis on earth 2, crisis on earth 3, crisis on earth x, earth-A, earth-S, earth-4 Etc.. those crossovers were the set up that made crisis so important.
It’s why the comic was called crisis on infinite earths, because that was only way to conclude such sagas.
Also minor point but I do miss the silver age crime syndicate. They were the bad guys but they understood the importance of keeping the earth at least somewhat stable. It’s why their deaths actually felt tragic. Heck before dying ultraman looks exactly like Superman in terms of spirit and would later be resurrected to stop a Superman worse than he ever was.
Another banger video. 💪🏿 DC Animation honestly needs a better marketing team ‘cause I didn’t even know it existed until you started talking about it 😂. But now with James Gunn’s new universe coming up they better be more cohesive and consistent with releasing their animated movies.
These days cartoon graphics and movement are disgusting and boring like this cartoon. Compare it to Justice League, Justice League Unlimited, Superman/Batman Apokolips 2010, First JLU Crises of Infinite Earth 2010, Wonder Woman 2009, It can never beat them.
2012 is the Last best year cartoons had proper graphics and movement.
Flashpoint Paradox deserves a shout out too
@@Kalel2.0yeah it looks really good.
We have had 2 adaptations of Crisis, now, in the CW and now this animated movie. And in both instances it always looks like the writers would rather write something else. Part 2 seems a bit more on track, though.
how did supergirl killed the monitor? i have some guess but i want to hear yours?
WB needs to do a "Dark Metal Knights" animated series for adults/teens.
If dcau and the movies are going to be one continiuty like Gunn said, thats why there is a crisis. The movies and animation are one.
I'm not surprised that Warner Bros. and DC are getting crappy with their products lately.
I have no idea what is going on in these 2 films so far and when ya keep checking the watch when watching the films, that's a sign
In the DCAMU, Batman should’ve used that detective brain of his to think “Cyborg could unknowingly be a mole.” Bc that ended way too fast.
Too often, cameos these days feel to me like they're barely even easter eggs
i'm tired of DC changing the storyline/plots/characters.
i was ready for this but after the first part, i'm not wasting my money on anymore until this universe is rebooted, AGAIN.
COIE makes me miss Snyder. The whole Martha Joke and the Mustache thing is funnier.
Didnt like the animation style. I know its shallow
Reminds me of early Archer style of animation
I always thought the tomorrow verse had the archer animators and artist work on it or something.
You are right. I didn't even know.
Part 2 was ESPECIALLY boring and I don't feel anything happened but it was a full feature length movie. Yikes. The only thing I can recall was part 1 when the flash accelerated time to build the towers wih his wife.
Just finished Pt 2 & 3 and found this video. Just gonna say: most of these comments made me say “ Damn. I thought it was just me.”
It’s cuz James Gunn DCU is the one there going all out for
I didn’t like the new 52 DC universe at all. My favorite was the Superman Batman public enemies/Batman UTRH/ Superman Batman Apocalypse era of the animated films. when I saw the tommorow verse trailers I didn’t even give them a chance. Good to hear they’re ending it
The DC Tomorrowverse feels less like a consistent shared universe of movies and more like overly long episodes of a TV show. The weirdest thing about this universe is that Wonder Woman isn’t a founding member of the Earth 1 Justice League. Supposedly she doesn’t even exist, it’s only Earth 2 Wonder Woman in the JSA. The only good movie is Batman: The Long Halloween.
I'm just going out on a limb here and talking about the bat family, it goes without saying the Dick Grayson Robin and Helena Wayne Huntress are from Earth 2, now the Damian Wayne Robin that's a bit more difficult to place because the Earth One Batman has not met Talia yet, so the Damian Wayne is from another Earth as well maybe from before flash fixed the universe i dont know, Barbara Gordon Batgirl was in the crisis comics, I don't remember what her role was...
The Superman and the Batman Halloween and part 1 is the only really good one's how
I heard Terry doesn’t even get that big of a role
Yep you're right
He got 2 lines and he mostly just stood there
Bro has got some well rounded takes
Man I just want the bloody universe to reset again, because this continuity stinks.
I had a middling opinion of the first part, but holy shit
---- Spoiling only the very opening of the film here ----
When the second part opens with killing commissioner Gordon and an extended batfamily shows up and Barbera absolutely doesn't have anything to say about it blew my mind, sure, I can make sense of it to a degree, THIS batman was the only one who saw who it was before joker blew up his corpse. THIS batman probably doesn't know Batgirl is his Gordon's daughter because he's our precious loner batman now for whatever reason, even though he could tell Huntress's mom just by looking at her whatever.... Point is, if you are killing off that gordon and not doing anything with it what was the point? It could have been part of the whole message about family and accepting the risks of their insane duty in gotham. I would watch a movie actually focused on this batman having to accept that he's wrong to reject their way but this movie, even as a trilogy is unlikely to do that concept any justice.
No spoilers does aquaman , martian manhunter , cyborg and green lantern show up
Part 2 should have been better than part 1 because it's a part 2
one thing i want to know is : Justice League Crisis on Two Earths and Crisis on Infinite Earths linked ?
I always thought it was a weird choice that The Specter punished Constantine and not The Flash 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 bro got sent to hell off the strength of making a suggestion
You are about to find out why he is punished in part 3
Justice league Criss on two Earths was infinitely better than this movie.
I didn’t like how quickly the crime syndicate died.
On the comic was worst
They're rushing to reboot to James Gunn's Animated movie universe
Dug part one. Part 2 was a bit of a let down. But it’s possible 3 can land it
Thanks
To me, I think the only genuinely great films in the Tomorrowverse have been Superman: Man of Tomorrow and Batman: The Long Halloween (more so Part 1 than Part 2). Otherwise, everything else has been very average or lackluster, and these two parts of Crisis so far have been no different. They definitely should’ve have built up this universe way more before choosing to do “Crisis.” It’s a crucial DC story for a reason, so it just hurts to see them do it this poorly.
I went into this movie not watching any other movie after dark apocolypse war. When i watched these movies they made no sense i spent 3 hours watching them and just dont get it.
I dont think you should get your hopes up for part 3 because given how parts 1 and 2 were written, i doubt the 3rd film can fix it. Heck, the Tomorroverse was a complete from the very start.
I just can't really process what's even happening in these movies with all the time jumping in part 1 and the multiple backstories in part 2. It's really hard to process the actual plot. I wanted to give this a chance after liking the DCAMU so much and being disappointed with how it ended, but it just never captured me and now it's ending in a very jumbled way. It's a shame.
Long halloween and part 1 (just the flash scenes) were the only good things to come out of the tomorrowverse.
Damn I didn't know it came out...
I’m watching it as we speak. It appears to be a failed attempt of the movie “Everything Everywhere All At Once”.
Crisis On Infinite Earths was created almost 40 years ago to clean up the bloated DC comics and to have a unified continuity with a single universe. Since then we had numerous reboots. The Crisis movie disrespected it.
Graphicaudio has a far superior adaptation of this story. FAR superior
How are they going to do a Crisis and not include the Timmverse in it or other iterations of DC cartoons? They needed to answer those questions before the pen hit the paper.
They will
These crisis movies honestly should be a celebration of all things DC animated, but it seems like its just a big mess
