I thought that proof of concept was really interested - save I did not at all like either the hair or body design for their Not-Quite-Nic-Cage version of Kal-El. But its a far more creative and imaginative use of the Fair Use/Transformative fan work concept than we have seen since I think that Park Bench movie from right around the time the Murderverse erupted from the Cult Leader in 2013?
That and this very short van Viersen Golden Age homage comic are some of my favorite fan works, although I know a lot of people were very fond of that agricultural workers movie, also from around the middle of the past decade
That and also loving Telos would make you one of DiDio’s unicorns!
It’s absolutely bat-crap cray cray and fabulous for that very reason. Some of the most run story-time read alongs I ever participated in those years and something that I thought was so enjoyable that I own the collection.
It features villainous team-ups, a BAMF Superman, a kid and dog for absolutely no real reason, and as you can see, a veritable team of supermen team up, and so much Neal Adams Being Neal Adams that if you loved Batman Odyssey, you should at least check this out. As
@moro stated, if you appreciate Adams on art, the art is really ‘absolutely fantastic.’
@millernumber1 I also, from the exchange you had with @moro (and BTW, since I think I missed saying it elsewhere, happy belated B-Day, big guy), but from all the various tweet pronouncements Gunn has made and his referencing of All Star (and i suspect he’s going to be taking some concepts from Waid’s limited series with Yu (even though the Cult Leader and Goyer already did steal a few things from that for MoS, what I think Gunn might take is the stuff beforehand, the search for identity - in a different way: How Clark becomes a Hero and Why Actually Does He Make The Choice To Help Humanity.
All that said, I personally still have nearly NO faith in a take by Gunn, particularly if he’s not going to a leveling influence of a different director, because it will be solely his voice, by and large. And there’s nothing in his specific public comments or his past work that makes me feel good about this aspect of it.
The nice thing about owning those Adventures TV episodes via iTunes purchase, even if you paid more, is that if you own stuff from Apple (e.g. music or individual episodes) and they get remastered, you will get THAT. I own some digital DC via iBook and I don’t think they remaster the books when DC remasters them from the printed omnibuses like they do in DCUI, but then again, DC doesn’t/didn’t provide those to Crapazom or CMX either, so they don’t have the remastered files. Whereas with the video, if the owners provide it to Apple for sale, and you own the same thing, they will give you the higher quality file the next time you go to download it or watch it, etc.
In my case, I no longer see the need to own some physical stuff. I’d rather pay, for example, $200 for that Flash and Superman statute racing we both own, for display in my apartment, versus pay $200 for a fancy 4K SteelBook of DVDs, for example, particularly if the main purpose of either outlay is for display and public enjoyment.
