Robot Chicken: DC Comics Special (2012 TV Movie) User Reviews

Exactly what you'd expect.

What the DC Special does a bit better than the Star Wars specials is offer a more cohesive riff on the subject matter. Somehow it feels less random, and that actually makes things feel more . . . well, special. Outside of that, this is precisely the Robot Chicken sense of humor you either love or hate. If you're looking for more of Superman and Batman, they're not M.I.A., but it's spread to a much more diverse cast. And that's a positive.

This was funnier than Robot Chicken usually is.

It's a little less lowbrow than Robot Chicken usually is too. There's a really unfunny segment where "The Nerd" becomes Green Lantern, but I think they only made it because they had the toys from the 2011 Green Lantern cartoon at their disposal. Other than that, all the gags here are really thought-out and specific to the characters they're poking fun at. Many of the jokes have unexpected payoffs later, which made it feel like it was treated with more care, and truly a special, as opposed to an episode of television.

This was fun. I would still recommend it as DC parody content, it's more than just regular Robot Chicken.

One of the greatest parody specials

It was hilarious for the Robot Chicken crew doing this amazing special on the DC Characters. Using Aquaman (Basically 70's Version) as the main character and how useless he is to the team, it was very creative to have him being pushed too far.

Not another job well done

"Robot Chicken: DC Comics Special" is a 23-minute television short film that was used as an appetizer for season 6 of "Robot Chicken" 3 years ago. There is obviously some Star Wars stuff, but here director Seth Green takes a journey into the world of superheroes. Apart from his usual voice cast, he gets help from Neil Patrick Harris, Megan Fox, Alfred Molina and Aaron Paul in this Emmy nominated special. The humor is basically the same as usual for "Robot Chicken" and from my perspective that means bad. There are really not that many funny scenes in here and the animation isn't my cup of tea either. sad to see they decided to make 2 more specials, maybe more to come, with this first one already being a failure. Sorry, but humor along the lines of Two-Face taking releasing a turd in the bathroom is simply not enough these days. Not recommended, even if I admit it was nice to see all these superheroes and supervillains united in one movie.
