DC Animated Movie Review: ***^Superman/Batman: Apocalypse (2010)

I really enjoyed this Batman/Superman movie.  It is a sequel to Public Enemies.  In Public Enemies Batman (Kevin Conroy) and Superman (Tim Daly) stopped a meteor.  In this movie we learn that it was actually a spaceship from Krypton and Superman's cousin, Kara (Sumer Glau) was inside.   She has some difficulty adjusting to her powers as she is no longer n Krypton.  Wonder Woman (Susan Eisenberg) takes her to home of the Amazons where she can train.  However Darkseid (Andre Braugher) learns of this, and sends his minions to kidnap her.  The Amazons and the minions have quite a battle, but while they battle Kara is kidnapped and her friend killed.

Superman recruits Big Barda, (Julianne Grossman) Darkseid's former underling to take him to the Darkseid world, Apokolips.  Darkseid tries to capture Wonder Woman as an alternative, but fails, and Superman takes Kara home to the farm to meet his folks, and Darkseid is there.  He has incredible power in his eyes; more than Superman.

I liked the cusi showing up.  I thought she was a good addition, and trying to find her place.  

DC Movie Review: Wonder Woman 1984

 This is a very enjoyable music, but sometimes it is a bit too much.  Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot) works in the Smithsonian, where coworker Barbara (Kristin Wiig) has received delivery of a special stone.  She wishes to be like Wonder Woman and begins to get her powers.  However Maxwell Lord (Pedro Pascal) has been stufying rocks, and steals it when he sees it.  It grants wishes.  Wonder woman had wished that her love would come back, and Lord wishes to actually be the stone.  Steve Trevor (Chris Pine) does come back, her boyfriend from forty years before.  Lord needs more and more people to ask him for wishes, as this increases his power.  He finally goes big time, but Wonder Woman knows something has to change or the whole world will be destroyed. 

Lots of neat action.  A great fight between Barbara and Wonder Woman.  But nothing works as long as people as asking for wishes.  Lord has to remember his son and who he is or the world is lost.  

Movie Review: ***^Batman vs Superman (2016)

This movie is a bit confusing.  It seems like they are trying to spend most of the movie explaining why Batman (Ben Affleck) and Superman (Henry Cavill)  have it for each other.  In the end it is blackmail by the part of Lex Luthor (Jessie Eisenberg) that gets them to fight.  It was Luthor manipulating things all along.  Lois Lane (Amy Adams) and Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot) also play significant parts.  Senator Finch (Holly Hunter), along with a committee gets blown up by Luthor.  Luthor is a really bad man through this entire movie.  He summons a terrible monster using technology from Krypton.  He also develops a weapon to kill Superman.  Big fight at the end, first between Batman and Superman, and then against the monster.
