Movie Talk - Direct to DVD Superman Movies Part 1

Well, it's that time. By now, I've already have seen Man of Steel twice. I just saw again it with  some friends on Sunday, so my review for that is going to wait for a minute. Tonight's post is going to look at the direct-to-DVD movies that were done by Warner Bros. Premiere and that  primarily involve Superman. Now, I won't be looking at the Superman/Batman movies nor the newest one, Superman Unbound. I haven't seen Public Enemies nor Unbound yet, so those will come at a later date.  With that being said, let's dig into these movies a bit.

Background
I've pretty much have seen a majority of these DC movies. I own Justice League: New Frontier and that's about it. I've seen most of the rest through the Internet, TV, or by renting them. I've enjoyed DC's line up of these movies for the most part. One I really want to see is that Wonder Woman movie because I heard it was pretty good. I like that most of these movies have been somewhat adapted from the comics. For example, I really enjoyed JL: New Frontier. It got me to buy the first volume to DC: New Frontier.

As I said earlier, I've seen most of the Superman ones. I saw Superman: Doomsday on YouTube a long time ago. When All-Star Superman and Superman/Shazam: the Return of Black Adam came out, I rented them through Redbox. Superman Vs. the Elite was another online one. I think it was Daily Motion or something. Anyway, I've recently watched all except for Superman: Doomsday on Netflix. Still, I remember enough of Superman: Doomsday to talk about it.

R.I.P. Dwayne McDuffie

I just found out a few minutes ago that writer Dwayne McDuffie passed away Monday evening. I have to admit, I'm still shocked. If you don't know who he is, this link should show you.

I guess I'm sad because the guy was a good writer, he was a black writer, and I've seen and read some of his stuff. From what I can tell, there aren't many of us brothers out there writing comics, so this dude was one of a kind. McDuffie also has written for such TV shows as Static Shock and Justice League Unlimited, two shows I loved to watch. He also wrote the upcoming direct to DVD adaptation of All-Star Superman, so you know I'm watching that. All in all, we lost a great writer. My prayers go out to his family.
