That's kinda what i wanted fomr these animated films, ones that are difficult for the casual fans.
I'm gonna have to completely rework that cast list.

Few Casual Fans are really checking these Animated ones out anyways.

Ah very true indeed. The silverage wasn't for everyone though, as pointed out with your comparison with your father and hardcore/casual fans. I must say though, i thoroughly enjoyed the romp it took us on, especially with how they dealt with batman and the flash.
As much as I like ollie, i just felt that there were too many characters used that hardcore fans ( i don't really use that term often ) knew about, but the rest of the world would be left scratching their heads. New frontier had everyone in there that everyone knew. The flash, Hal Jordan ( best book out on the market now is GL ), supes ( for the 10 - 15 minutes he was there before gettin knocked out ), aquaman ( lol 3 seconds! ) bats, etc.
Martian Manhunter was freaking awesome, i have to admit. And working him into it made it that much more awesome.
But thus far, the Dibneys, Tim Drakes dad, and boomerang would probably leave fans thumping the ground like a pack of angry gorillas, not for any detrimental effects of the plot in its whole, but the lack of understanding on who these people are and why they were so important to the story.
sorry, G. Been busy with school.

The way is uses lesser known characters was part of the appeal thou, these DTV movies largely are meant more for hard core fans then casual ones, look at New Frontier, my Dad didn't get it at all.

I liked the comics but i dont think i want to see it in a movie format. It was cool for a read, but as cool as the atom is, i don't think people would be able to decipher the relationship between Ray and his ex-wife ( not to mention the dibneys, probably a handful of kids will know who he is, besides seeing him in a cameo in batman: B&B).
Rag Morales based them on real people, it'd be a trip if all those actors/actresses really filled in the roles.
And the rape scene i don't think people are quite ok with that. ( not to mention the use of doctor light. we know he went through many variations, but i've asked one of my students, and they have no inkling on who that is )

Well Sadly Ricardo Montalban has died, there were other adjustments I wanted ot make anyways so I'll be editing the initial post soon.
But regardless I must express my anger over that development, and I can think of only one adequate way to do so.
KHHHAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was thinking Infinite Crisis when I posted
Identity Crisis would be a pretty odd pick to market to a casual audience as a one-off movie.
Still got my fingers crossed, waiting for Judas Contract to get green-lit

There was no Superboy in Identity Crisis?

I don't think we have to worry about Kingdom Come. I read somewhere that Bruce Timm said the only way they would touch it is if they could get the animation to look exactly like Alex Ross's painting of that story and they don't think it can be done.
I'd love to see Kingdom Come but if they made it animated they have to waive that dumb ass 75 minute rule just for this film.
The Dark Knight Returns: In my opinion a movie version of that is every fan boys dream. Whether it's live action or animated. I guess Tim Burton wanted to do a live action version of DKR back in 89 but the studio told him no.
But it Timm and company were to animate this one, once again need to kiss that dumbass 75 minute rule goodbye.
I'd love to see a back to back actually Dark Knight Returns and the Dark Knight Strikes Again. I loved both those stories.
I would love to see the JSA. Preferably a period piece during WWII or predating WWII even. But a golden age story would be nice to see.

oh, my bad i meant to say 90

identity crisis would be perfect actually; if they could get all the characters in there in a way that wasnt retarded, like new frontier, and if they increased the time frame to a good 75 minutes

I don't think they'd use something so continuity heavy and that features such a large cast (the entire DCU)
It would just look like a 75 minute cluster%#$& and viewers that don't know the story won't know wtf is going on
Not to mention the fact that 2 of the stars are Superboys and Superboy is kind of off limits right now
I'd root for Kingdom Come, if only just to see those awesome Alex Ross character designs animated, but that would be hard enough to adapt to a 2 hour feature let alone 75 minutes

Identity Crisis would be amazing. I don't think they would have the nerve to do it however.
There is no worse death than the end of hope.

If they put a crap load of money into it, made it at least 2 hours, and put it in theaters, maybe then Kingdom Come would work. But as a small 75 minute DTV movie? No.

Sly = The MAN

Please, may they never touch Kingdom Come! At least not in animation
I don't mean to impose, but I am the OCEAN.

Justice League will turn out fine I just mean it's taking them awhile to do it.
I'm referring to Wonder Woman and Flash and Green Lantern about the Origin films.
Superman/Doomsday has no redeeming value what so ever.
Let's put a smile on that face Hehehahahaha!

"I mean cause the WB is having enough trouble getting a Regular Justice League films done, a story like this they've never risk giving the Budget to do in Live Action, but in Animation it'd be fairly easy."
The only reason they are having a hard time doing a live-action Justice League movie is because the people behind it have no idea what they are doing. They're using second-rate actors where they should be using people with more acting chops and who would fit the parts.
"Superman/Doomsday was terrible, for more reasons then just how they trimmed it down, they made Plot changes, that actualy wates screen time, liek thier lame Jimmy subplot."
Superman/Doomsday isn't as bad as it could actually be. Just because they cut out a lot doesn't mean it is awful. But, I DO agree about the Jimmy Olsen subplot.
"If they Solos films their doing where at least Adaptations of specific Story-lines/Novels and not just Origin stories, I wouldn't be so Upset but when they announce, this whole DTV series it was presumable based on them bring classic comic stories to life, and that's why I'm so pissed about them Delaying an possibly even Abandoning Judas Contract for a lame Wonder Woman origin story film."
Superman/Doomsday isn't an origin story. It IS an adaptation of a specific storyline. It's just not adapted well.
"Death in The Family has the Iconic Moment of Death of Jason Todd which I'd love to see in a Comic Films someday, but the rest of the story around is horrible, Joker going to the middle east and becoming Iran's Ambassador to the UN is unbearable absurd."
You just said the same thing here that I already said. Although you said the whole storyline of Joker going to Iran is aburd which I don't agree with. Just the part about him becoming ambassador.

I mean cause the WB is having enough trouble getting a Regular Justice League films done, a story like this they've never risk giving the Budget to do in Live Action, but in Animation it'd be fairly easy.
Superman/Doomsday was terrible, for more reasons then just how they trimmed it down, they made Plot changes, that actualy wates screen time, liek thier lame Jimmy subplot.
Identity Crisis, might be able to fit in the 75 Minute Time Limit, since it's only a 7 Volume Comic, they'd give them just over10 Minutes for each part, however I still find the 75 Minute time limit their using ridiculous.
If they Solos films their doing where at least Adaptations of specific Story-lines/Novels and not just Origin stories, I wouldn't be so Upset but when they announce, this whole DTV series it was presumable based on them bring classic comic stories to life, and that's why I'm so pissed about them Delaying an possibly even Abandoning Judas Contract for a lame Wonder Woman origin story film.

The Dark Knight Returns would make a Great Animated Film, so would Kingdom Come, or Our World's At War, of Whatever Happened to The Man of Tomorrow. But those I would hate to see compressed to fit a 75 Minute Time Limit, Identity Crisis might just be barley able to fit.
Let's put a smile on that face Hehehahahaha!

"I feel these should be for stories that for one reason or another could Never be done in Live Action."
This reasoning does not make sense to me. You said that you don't want anymore "solo stories" which I can understand, however, how is this being an emsemble film mean that it could not be done in live action? Have you not seen X-Men? Fantastic Four? Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles? A live-action superhero movie doesn't have to be relugated to just solo superheroes. Either is interchangeable. "A Death In The Family" would make for a good animated PG-13 Batman film. So would "Knightfall" and "The Death of Superman". "Superman/Doomsday" was a half-assed attempt to bring that story to life. Yes, the actual comics storyline may have a very rich plot but it could have been adapted well into a movie. I'm not saying that "Superman/Doomsday" was terrible, but it was nothing spectacular either. I'd probably give it a C+. A good attempt, but needed more work put into it.

I don't want any more of them being Solo Stories, I feel these should be for stories that for one reason or another could Never be done in Live Action.
