[Movies] The DC Cinematic Universe - The David Zazlav Dumpster Fire.

Wasn't sure where to post this, finally decided on here:

Kevin Conroy releases new recording of "Am I Blue?"
I love that episode so much. Though this version of the song seems a little more upbeat than the one from the episode.

Also, I just posted this in the comments from that link, but wanted to share it here if anyone hadn't ever heard of it:

Here's a little behind-the-scenes story I love telling about this episode. They discuss it on the Justice League Unlimited DVD set, in one of the special features:

In the script, they had a scene written involving Joker. For time and budget reasons, it never made it past the script stage.

It's early in the episode, just after Diana is transformed. Joker, Harley, and a gang of thugs are in a van across the street from a bank. Joker's all, "Okay kids, we're all set. I have some lovely stuff set aside if Bats shows up. I think we're in for a GREAT heist!"

Then Batman walks by on the sidewalk, cradling Wonder Pig, saying softly, "It'll be all right. I'll get to the bottom of this and we'll get you back to normal."

Joker pauses.
"Okay gang, pack it up. We're leaving!"
"But Mr. J!"
"Nope nope nope, we're out! I can't top that!"

“The main thing we learned [on Batman v Superman] is that people don’t like to see their heroes deconstructed,” said producer Deborah Snyder.
My hopes are not high. This still smells like "we didn't do anything wrong, you just didn't get what we were doing."

You didn't DECONSTRUCT Batman and Superman, you PORTRAYED THEM INCORRECTLY.

Mass Effect 3's ending was a well-thought out allegory for the impotence of your choices, and gave three distinct endings. It was the culmination of the whoel series, but fans didn't understand. ARTISTIC VISION!
 
Uh, you can't DE-construct a hero until you actually construct him. I am glad they finally got the message but it's too late for me, I have no interest in their movie verse. Maybe when they inevitably reboot it the next wave will be more worthwhile.
 
Meanwhile, Marvel-Disney is making huge bank doing RE-constructions of the heroes, acknowledging the problems while still maintaining the essence of their characters in the modern world, letting them be superheroes, instead of mopey persons of mass destruction.
 
Ok, seriously, who the hell is Steppenwolf?

My guess is that they're going to reveal, at the end of the movie, that Steppenwolf was just a pawn for some big bad behind-the-scenes villain. Sort of like how Thanos was revealed to be the mastermind at the end of the first Avengers movie. So this naturally suggests they're going for Darkseid.

Steppenwolf is Darkseid's military leader.

Yeah, he's a Darkseid lackey. He was in a few episodes of Superman The Animated Series as kind of a middle man between Darkseid and crime boss Bruno Manheim.

But yeah, sounds like they're trying to treat Darkseid like Thanos here and build him up throughout the movies.

Of course, that's going with the assumption these movies will continue to succeed enough to even get there.

I hope they don't. I want them to fail and fail hard so that Snyder is off and we can maybe get them to start treating these characters like the ones I love and grew up on.

The relevant sequence from Superman: American Alien 3 -

Clark Kent gets picked up by a yacht after his Cessna crashes in the ocean. It is Bruce Wayne's yacht, celebrating Bruce Wayne's birthday, though Bruce never attends such things.. so the party guests assume Clark IS Bruce Wayne, and the plane crash was just an overly-theatrical entrance. At first he tries to tell them he's not Wayne, but one of the guests, Barbara Gordon, convinces him it would be fun to pretend, and so......

Might've been the neurotoxin.

Also, I love this sequence so much.
