The only acceptable DC toys are from DC direct, but they release very few throughout the year. Larfleeze is getting a new one next month and Vibe this summer!

They are doing sets for Injustice that I hope expands into New52 etc.

They aren't going to take responsibility for it brah. I fear for Beware The Batmans toy line if it indeed comes to fruition.

I don't think they will even do one. Right now they have loads of TDKR figures still on shelves, they also have the crappy power attack line then they have 2 Target exclusive Batman lines and thats not even counting the Batman Unlimited line which are like $15-$20 a piece.
Mattel says 'more info in 2014' and thats the exact same thing they said about a Green Lantern line.
 
Mattel toys are so crap. They have like 5 points of articulation or something ridiculous like that. I know that's why I'm always hesitant to buy them, as opposed to any of the Marvel toys, where even the $10 varieties all have moveable elbows, knees, hands, etc.

DC really needs to dump Mattel and go with another company.

Sad to see this show go. It was a great representation of the GL universe, especially after what the GL movie did to damage that.
 
Ending was pretty good. I liked that even though Aya got redemption, she didn't get away with what she did. Even if the star she absorbed were for uninhabited systems she still caused death and damage to the universe.

Sucks that this show ends there. So much untapped potential. ugh, we didn't even get a Sinestro Corps arc. Siiiiiiiiiiiigh

Yeah, I was really hoping for that to happen.
 
That non ending was horrible.
CN should just go offair and let some other entity give fans the shows they will enjoy and see through.
 
Dammit, finally saw the finale. I'll miss Young Justice and even more so with Green Lantern, both I'm pulling hope for. :finale wink:
 
Liked the ending.

one thing i hate about this show is sudden power ups and down one episode a gl can barely hold on its own against man hunter next episode he is breaking 10's of them with ease
 
That was a great ass ending, surprised at just how emotional it made me.

From Kilowog's hug to the Blue Ring chasing after him. Just bittersweet enough to be satisfying.

Hard to imagine putting out shows of this quality gets you cancelled, apparently regardless of what soulless media conglomerate is making decisions.
 
Was very sad to see this and YJ end. Terrific shows, both of them.

When this show was first announced, I was skeptical but due to my changed opinion for the CG clone wars, I figured I'd give it a shot. I was pleasantly surprised and was happy with the great stories they provided.

I'll admit, I liked YJ a bit better than Green Lantern but I believe that's because I have a bias for 2D animation versus CG. I am hopeful that the new Batman show coming this summer will temper my skepticism and be just as awesome.

Teen Titans Go on the other hand worries me to no end. I loved the original show this is based on but I want some actual storylines from a super hero show, not just goofy shorts. Extremely worried about what it's going to look like when it airs.
 
I find it hilarious how CN completely betrayed all Teen Titans fans with the new show. The shorts brought hope and demand for a return to the original series, and instead we are getting a show with animation that looks to be worse than even the shorts, with no sort of plot or action at all. (instead they are essentially 20 minute versions of the shorts)

Yeah it blows my mind.

Between Clone wars ending, YJ ending and GL ending. My Saturday morning tv watching has really gone to shit. Atleast there is Ninja Turtles still.
 
Just finished watching it. An interesting way to end the threat I gotta say.

Gonna miss this show, it was fun while it lasted.

Oh and I just saw this during Scarred, which I'm sure was brought up already:

I just meant for 3.75 inch. I don't buy too many large scale figures anymore.
I just want an average Batman,etc that can fit with the Marvel Universe figures.

Good news! DC Direct/DC Collectibles has been making super articulated DC figures in scale! So far they've announced the Injustice and Green Lantern lines.

Bad news: They're 3¾". Hasbro makes their Marvel (and GI Joe) figures in 1:18 scale (6' = 4"), so they're a quarter of an inch taller on average.

I did not like the ending for the GL season.
Razer, or whatever his name is, just goes off to find his waifu to some far off land of nowhere where based on nothing. Just a really dumb reason to dump the character for the second season.
Then there was that whole virus thing, which was just stupid since it made it clear that green female hologram was still linked to the manhunters, so she could have done something else there, but nope... cheap death.

They need to bring Paul Dini back or the guys who wrote Justice League and JLU. Bruce Timm by himself is mediocrity.
 
See if they make enough characters and are a good quality like that I will buy them anyway even if they are smaller.
I might buy all of the Injustice sets and hopefully soon they do Batman sets like the Green Lantern ones.
I really think DC should drop Mattel when the contract expires and expand DC Direct.

Dini isn't doing too hot with Ultimate Spider-Man.

I don't think Dini is all that involved in Ultimate Spiderman working as just a creative consultant (because of his Tiny Toons experience?). It's mostly Man Of Action in charge of the theme/style, which seems to be the reason it's hated so much.
That style seems to have no middle ground. I know a lot of people who love it and a lot who hate it.

I personally haven't seen that show, though its fanbase/dissenters reminds of how Brave and the Bold series was. I really hated that whole Silver Age feel the series had.

It's hard to take criticism like this seriously when you can't even name a main character of the show who has been the main focus for the last few episodes. Just saying...

I would say this show ended better and more satisfying than Young Justice did, everything felt good and wrapped up, yet they left plenty of room for continuation. I'd say the only flaw was the arc seemed to drag a bit. If I could choose one of the shows to come back, it'd be this one.

Yeah the hate is similar. But Batman fans mellowed out as the show got going and got better. Plus, it seems like a lot of Marvel fans just can't stand the idea of silly, comedic portrayals of its "cool, mature characters" as Super Hero Squad and the upcoming Phineas and Ferb Mission Marvel have been lambasted to hell and back for idiotic "childish" reasons.

USM is legitimately awful though. I was a big defender of the show during its first season because I felt that there was nothing wrong with having a sillier show that wasn't meant to be taken seriously and I was optimistic that the show would improve by the next season, but the quality has really gotten worse going into Season 2. I probably would've stopped watching it if I didn't have it set to record on my DVR.

Hard to remember a character's name when they're so shallow and forgettable =P

But really, i just couldn't be bothered to check up how her name is spelt, so i just named her by her appearance.

Of course it ended better, because it wrapped up the entire storyline in a neat little package where everyone was separated to be stored away for later use no matter how nonsensical it came off. The entire series was like this, and i think this is why it made it drag along. Nearly every episode set up a problem that they had to fix by the end of the episode, which took away from the importance of the over-arcing storyline. They went to the other side of the universe to save the GLs from that part of the galaxy, yet they met... only one GL? They were trying to find out who was doing all the killing, and even when one of the killers' members joined the group, they didn't know anything about them. The only things they learned about the Red Lanterns was from lollygagging around.
It just felt so generic. You had the "save the planet by winning a contest" episode, the "learn to work together" episode, the "misunderstanding, get put into jail" episode, and so on. Little or nothing to do with the premise of the "important" mission they were on. It was like watching a not-as-good version of Stargate SG1 or Star Trek:TNG.
They sorta fixed that in the last half of the season, but the stories still meandered. Once Aya became a bitter stereotypical dumped female, she had no clue what she was doing. She went from one plan to the next after being foiled by those cursed green menances. The entire series felt aimless, so of course it seemed to drag on. There was no goal aside from "stopping the red menance," "stopping the giant robot menance," "stopping the bitter psycho female" and you only knew of how they'd attain that goal maybe 2 or 3 episodes before the final episode of these story arcs.

Young Justice had a lot more world building than that. The story arcs seemed to start off vague and it would build up to where they'd discover something was going on. They'd then push into finding out exactly what was going on and then worked at dismantling whatever plans were at work. The over arcing storyline progressed with nearly every episode, without hampering on your enjoyment of every episode by itself.
Considering the nature of the show, that meant that each episode left something unexplained that would be solved later. So of course the last episode didn't wrap up the storyline in one neat little package, because the over arcing storyline still wasn't finished. Only the goal for the superheroes had been completed.
Sadly, the show being canceled meant that you'll never have a satisfying ending.

Also, i don't think that that Marvel fans don't appreciate the comedic protrayals of the characters. Characters like Spider-Man has been and is popular because of that tongue n cheek attitude. I think the problem is that the series just takes it too far that isn't consistent with the character or his series.
One more thing, even 4chan liked that stupid Marvel babies show. I liked it and i still think it's stupid. It was fun, but stupid.
 
USM isn't something like Batman BatB though. In fact, saying them in the same sentence feels like an insult :P

the comparison that was made was about the audience/haters, not the shows themselves.
Some people really love the humor, while others hate it because it's rated G Deadpool, starring spider-man, Show.
Again, i don't know much about it aside from people talking about it and gifs i've seen online, as i don't have the channel and use Netscape 4.7, so i can't even browse youtube.

Man, I was so excited for USM because it was sounding like Brave and the Bold :-(

I think Young Justice was all over the place. I'm a man of simple tastes though. I'd rather have something straight forward at the risk of being "safe" than something that's a convoluted mess.

Now Motorcity, there's a show that follows Action Team Cartoon 101 with by the book plots. A lot of fun though.
 
USM is Family Guy for kids and people with even less brain cells that enjoy FG. And the toyline is awful, even though I bought a couple. Nova is supposed to be like no more than fourteen but his toy is the same sculpt as Captain America.
 
SMGO is kind of like a Kickstarter for cancelled shows. I think part of the funding comes from the fans and the rest comes from SMGO folk.

Lots of people are super excited about it and there's reasoning with the legal people (WB in YJ and GLTAS' case) and everything.

I hope I'll be able to donate.
