Appeared in Crazy Cartoon Cast of AniMat: The Return of the King (of the Hill) (2023). What an entrance for the new regime at D.C. Studios. This first installment and introduction to the new D.C.
The DC
universe is promising and a welcome show. The story takes care of the characters and the animation is top notch. Speaking of animation, the new “Tomorrow-verse” animation looked very cheap and flat, no life in the animation style or stories. AU of great stories like: “Under the Red Hood”, “Justice League: Dark” and “Superman: Doomsday” set the standard for quality comic book animation.
The art style is fun, vivid and well drawn
I collected all the animated movies from that time period and was not interested in the Tomorrow-verse, due to the lazy writing and lazy animated art. But Creature Commandos is a return to form for quality animation. I already care about the characters and the story is interesting. James Gunn is starting this universe off right and making his next projects highly anticipated.
The new Superman movie is definitely on my watch list
Back to the show, it’s only 2 episodes but the anticipation and connection to the characters is there. Looking for something different to add to your watch list? Check out what movies and TV shows are coming to streaming this month.
