Abandon All Reason and Bear Witness to the Justice League of Animals
It’s good to know that insanity still exists in the world of cartoons.
That was just…there are so few words. A toilet joke? Aquaman as a baboon? Lex Luthor as a liger? That is just brilliant. And I know a certain someone who is going to love Wonder Wombat.
This isn’t going to be a full series, but instead just another bunch of cartoon shorts aired alongside the DC Nation cartoon block. Like those Super Best Friends Forever cartoons that were so good. I definitely like where DC’s head is at with all these cartoon shorts.
Hell Comes to All Batmen
This rather awesome look at the loneliness and prestige of the Batcave is going to be a poster on sale for $50 on Aug. 30 from Mondo. I think it looks absolutely fantastic, and if I lived in more than just an empty bachelor pad that doesn’t get many visitors I would totally buy it. Love both the detail and the emptiness conveyed in this picture. You can follow MondoNews on Twitter to get up to the minute updates on the sale if you’re interested in buying a poster.
Bat Man of Shanghai Proves that Batman Works in Any Setting
Did you ever imagine Batman as a vigilante in early 20th century China? Well somebody did!
That delightful bit of insanity comes from the DC Nation animation block because…I have no idea. Somebody with the power to make cartoons thought of it, made it and aired it. I don’t think it has anything to do with anything. But wasn’t it still pretty awesome?
How Dark Knight Rises Should Have Ended
This greatness of ‘How It Should Have Ended…’ is back, baby!
Love the animation, love…most of the jokes. These people continue to produce some of the best stuff on the Internet. But if I’m being completely honest, I think they’ve lost touch with their original mantra. These videos usually now just make fun of various parts of the movie rather than focusing on creating an ‘alternate’ ending to show how a movie really should have ended.
And they are obsessed with their Superman and Batman sitting in a cafe gag! It’s like they spend more time coming up with jokes for those scenes than on actually riffing the movie. If you watch that video, when they finally get to the end of Dark Knight Rises and show what should have happened when Alfred was looking on Bruce and Selina…they just fall back on their Superman character rather than telling us how the movie really should have ended
Oh well, that’s just my pathetic two cents. Still a great web series.
