Got this yesterday and watched it today.

Very well done adaptation. the parts that were left out were fine filler for the comic but would not have added much to the overall narritive of the mivue. Dwayne McDuffie (RIP big guy)focused on the main plot running through the mini series and it turned out very well.

I am impressed with how well they adapted Quitley's (sp?) art for this. some of it looks lifter from the pages.

Voice casting was very good. Andrea Romero does an amazing job of finding people that embody these characters as they appear in this, and all the other animation projects she has done for DC.

Anyone else get this?

Good to know... this is the first DC animated film I haven't bought when it first came out... I'll try to pick it up this week... after my credit card cycle ends...

I talked a little about this over on the Completely Comics podcast. I loved the comic, but I don't feel like it translated well over to the animated feature.

I agree that the voice actors were fantastic.. and the animation was incredible.

Got it for Sam. It really depressed him that "Superman died".

We watched the shorts earlier tonight on Netflix. Loved both the Supes/Shazam one and the Spectre one, as I hadn't seen either one of them before this.

the Spectre one was great. You really got that early seventies Dirty Harry feel mixed with Mysticism with it.

I wish that the Green Arrow was the Green Arrow of the comics. This was the Ollie I grew up with and liked, not the self loathing man-ho they do now.

How old is Sam again Ric?

I need to grab the shorts DVD. I've seen most of them, but still need to see a few.

He's five. Maybe a bit young for the Spectre, but I explained a bit about it and he was good with it.
