DC Showcase: Blue Beetle

4 reviews
7/10

DC & WB is back with the golden age style.

As a big fan of Golden age WB & Hanna Barbera fan, the way they made it the goofy sound effects and the classic cartoon style instantly threw me into 1980's when I as a child used to enjoy them. A big thanks to DC & WB to bringing back my nostalgia, it would be great if you guys bring back all the classic characters like Space ghost, Captain planet, Bird man, Thundercat's and the list goes on let the Classic see the modern era light.

I really hate the dumb*ss cartoons I see now a days in the mad box s*it.

Decent

It's nice to see the Charlton Comics characters like Blue Beetle, The Question, Captain Atom and Nightshade appearing in the style of a late 1960s Saturday morning superhero cartoon.

DC Animation hits another home run

Alright, am I crazy or is this the best DC Showcase short they've made so far? Thanks to the Steve Ditko connection this is actually a really funny, self-aware send-up of 60s Spider-Man, among other low-budget superhero programs of the time. How often do I honestly get to say "man, I'm really enjoying these deliberate animation errors."

It's even funnier if you picture all the Charlton Comics characters as their Watchmen counterparts.

an amazing work of animation

Thanks to those who made this, from the sounds and drawings to the voices and engineers who recorded it. What a fantastic piece of re-interpreted fiction to put back into the cultural milieu for another generation to see it fresh.

The goofy factor adds so much to the humor and playfulness of it, and the music tops it all off. Wonderful playing by the band and mixing as well. I agree with the other user who reviewed, being an '80s baby myself, this brings back many fond memories of watching things on tv during that time, some that were perhaps a generation before our own and this really folds it all back into a perfect circle, ready to be re-imagined once again when needed.

Tom kenny, the ice king squarepants, of course, always amazing! Ha!!

Thank you all!!
