Joker
(2019)

Decent movie, good acting, not really a masterpiece.
Technically there's nothing wrong with this movie. Phoenix's acting deserves all the praise, beautiful photography, etc.

From beginning to end, the movie is crowded with cinematic old clichés and rather cheap tear jerkers showing the downfall into madness of a very unfortunate man, which ultimately seems like a starved up pale attempt to pair itself as a film to brilliant pieces like The Shining, Taxi Driver or Cruise.

This movie really doesn't show any version I've known of The Joker, none. Since creator's Jerry Robinson's 1951 version up to Alan Moore's work for DC Comics in 1988, The Joker character developed in a certain direction that could have been amazing to explore in a more artistic way than previous DC films, instead this movie looks like the last assignment of an art student did before graduating, with enough money to hire DeNiro and Phoenix, but that's far from being such a breakthrough art film.

Swamp Thing
(2019)

Cancelling this show is a huge mistake.
The series delivered by DC Universe have been by far my favourite incarnation of the characters they have chosen to portrait. High quality cinematography, good acting, interesting stories, but Swamp Thing is the absolute best of them all.

This is an incredibly well crafted version of the character. Not only that, this series introduces some of the best characters DC has to offer like Phantom Stranger and Madame Xanadu.

I really hope executives at Warner and DC Comics get their collective heads off their behinds and bring this amazing series back.

Lucifer
(2016)

Had to change my rating since Netflix took over.
Though the series was already highly entertaining the change gave a surprising boost that made the show just amazing.

Lucy
(2014)

Highly entertaining and visually beautiful.
With beautiful scenery, exciting action and outstanding acting, the film is just an amazing ride from beginning to end.

Luc Besson's refined work is very satisfying, unless you're an arrogant know-it-all jerk, that is. ;p

Titans
(2018)

Outstanding and beautifully dark.
This series is just amazing, a great adaptation of the team created by Wolfman and Pérez.

As a DC Comics fan for the past 40 years, Titans is an absolute treat.

Aquaman
(2018)

Most accomplished DC movie yet.
This is an incredibly fun film, very faithful to the source material and very well performed by all actors involved. Photography and visuals are beautiful and though it's full of cheesy dialogue and a very poor choice for some of the songs chosen for the film, overall it's a very entertaining film.

Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox
(2013)

Superohero Gold!
This was awesome! Some of the details in the story are different that its comic book counterpart, but overall is an amazing adaptation.

I have to recognize my opinion may be a little bias as I'm a huge DC Comics fan and the Flashpoint event was the biggest thing since 1985 in terms of continuity as it rebooted everything from a new start point for all of DC characters. It has a lot of action and most cameos of characters I've seen so far. All the battles are epic, characters are well portrayed and animation's very interesting with obvious anime influence.

A lot of fun, totally worth it and if you're new to superhero animation this is a good starting point.
