Originally that was Peter Jackson's plan with the The Hobbit but WB wanted a trilogy to milk that cashcow.

What didn't you like about it? If you say the end..can you still contrast the two? Because when I made a statement about the change at the end I couldn't actually remember how the book ended.

I liked the Watchmen movie and thought the ending was an improvement over the graphic novel, but ultimately the problem with it was that it was released at least a decade too soon.
The graphic novel is considered a classic because it deconstructed over half a century of material and gave the industry a fresh look at how to approach the subject. But in 2009 we hadn't even seen an ensemble superhero movie yet, so what was the movie deconstructing? Joel Schumacher's Batman? I think this is why it felt flat. Sure, comic book nerds recognized the tropes it was playing with, but regular movie goers couldn't see any depth to it. It was deconstructing a movie genre was still being constructed. In another decade -- after at least two Avengers movies and a JLU movie -- a Watchmen type movie will resonate more with the general public. The last one was just made *way* too early.

This movie gon suck... the Avengers belong together.
Batman, Supes and Wonder Woman do NOT... no kidding, I cant wait for the trailers, its going to be so bad you will puke, those are stand alone characters, mixing them together will be a joke. Might as well call Adam West out of retirement. PS - isn't it time to stop subbing in an emoticon for a superhero name, or anything else for that matter, c'mon mods fix that crap... if I wanted to use an emoticon, I would, please fix that. |

The various Justice League incarnations on Cartoon Network were the best comic-based animated series ever done, so they can work as a group. Of course that's no guarantee it'll be the same in Hollywood. It's a miracle the avengers was a success.

I've been enjoying the Batman 75 Celebration short clips depicting the various styles of his look as well as illustrated in the more popular cartoon series runs. Only 2 shorts have been released so far .

Justice League and Justice League Unlimited on Cartoon Network were too legit to quit.
.. And pretty much every DC Animated flick featuring the a Justice League is pretty good. |

That's what DC does well - TV, and animated direct-to-video movies. They should stick to it, because with the exception of Nolan's Batman series, every superhero movie they've churned out since the Clinton administration has been utter crap.

Not true. Watchmen was decent in parts and Man of Steel was great.
