My Adventures With Superman

Bingo. That’s Lex.

The one black(?) guy in the original cast getting raceswapped(?) to white is kind of weird. He also looks like he grew up rich here when Luthor was always self made and slightly older than superman. I'm pretty cool with most of the redesigns but I'm not sure about this one.

I'd rather introduce my kids to the character with this show than with say, Man of Steel

Or you could introduce them to the character via the DCAU series, which doesn't neuter the main cast to appeal to modern sensibilities.

Because Deathstroke really only works with the Titans, he isn't even a good Bat villain

Deathstroke works for any street level guy thanks to his mercenary nature, if anything him being a villain for the Titans is ridiculous because half of them could just bumrush him because they have actual superpowers.

Lex was always white, he was just designed after Telly Savalas' Blofield in STAS which gave him a more Mediterranean look which politically obsessed retards took as him being black for some reason.

It wasn't being politically obsessed so much as him really looking like a lightskinned black guy and nobody knowing who telly savals was. Seriously if you didn't know he was supposed to be greekish, you'd think he was black.

Big nose, thick lips, bald and every other rich black guy was wearing that look back then. He's not drawn like a white guy in that show.

That can be said of practically every human villain against God, Lex being the most obvious.

Deathstroke works for the Teen Titans in terms of knowing how to manipulate a bunch of teenagers and use their emotional immaturity against them. He spends the series tapping into Robin's anger, absolutely destroying Beast Boy's emotional state via Terra, then of course you have the Trigon arc of the show where he pretty much mind raped Raven. He is fantastic at wrecking a group of Teens unable to see through his bullshit due to age.

When moved up to actual heroes he seems absolutely worthless outside of being a better than average mercenary. No one on the Justice League would fall for his shit, and only Batman would "struggle" to deal with him in combat. He has no worth outside of picking on the lows of the super community, yet he is treated like he can go toe-to-toe with the JL solo.

Deathstroke and LiveWire fans upon seeing their designs:

This whole series seems to be coping with the fact they cant do a Jonathan Kent series because he isnt popular enough to justify it (oddly enough turn him gay didnt make him a cultural icon)

It looks and sounds incredibly generic.

We already got a kino animated series for Superman:

Its funny how this show, made for children, treats Superman and its cast with maturity and respect while the show, made for adults or at least late teens, treats all of its cast with inmaturity and derespect (especially towards red hairs and pretty looking women).

Making a new STAS season set between its finale and the beginning of Justice League would have been far more preferably and a proper way to appeal to nostalgia.

This is one of my favorite scenes of batman "fighting" superman.


There's no kryptonite, there's no plan. Batman just throws everything he's got and superman gets mildly annoyed before immediately neutralizing him.

Supes is kinda a goofy asshole in this, but I do like how they actually gave him a lot of character development in the sequels


As for this cartoon... I think it looks cute.

Honestly, it goes to show that Batman couldnt beat Superman without having a very strong plan and resources.
Another thing that highlights that is the storyline "Hush" where Supes gets controlled by Poison Ivy by mixing her green stuff with glowing green stuff and Batman focuses more on escaping rather than direct confrontation, knowing that he and Catwoman dont stand a chance. And yet Batman does let Catwoman know that Clark is fighting Ivy's control on the simple reason that, if he wasnt, he could and would easily annihilated them both before they could even react.

"Thats because deep down Clark is a good man. Deep down, Im not."

I wonder what Bruce Timm and the rest of the JLU crew think of Injustice, it being basically the full retard version of the Justice Lords plot.

Yeah, while I wont act like an evil JL plot never existed before the Justice Lords, it feels like they did something that with the concept is way better than whatever they did with Injustice which centers around Superman far too much.

I'm don't like the voice being used for Clark Kent. It has a whiny edge to it that almost makes me want to put my fist through my TV.

It's Zack Quaid, whiny losers are his bread & butter. No idea why they'd use him of all people for Clark when there's almost certainly a better fit out there.
