Born in the 70s

I bought and watched Superman: Doomsday last night, and it's pretty darn good.  It moves very quickly, the voice-acting is really good, and there's a terrific cameo thrown in there.  My only real complaint is Superman's character design - the cheekbones are drawn really strangely.  The DVD is packed full of extras, including a look at the upcoming Justice League: The New Frontier.

My wingman at the office is taking a 2-week-and-change vacation at the end of the week.  The additional workload's not going to be any real problem, but she's a lot of fun to work with, and things will become even more boring.  Tomorrow, I'm slated to be part of a focus group (which I'm hoping doesn't become the plural form of moron) for a new online initiative the company is launching.  Whee!

I think DC's taking a good tack - the death of Superman is something everybody knows, and it's the sort of thing that even reasonably casual fans can get an easy handle on. With the preview material on that disc, you get some immediate advertising for the next project. I'd never even heard of New Frontier until I saw an article on the animated movies, and I'm now champing at the bit for it.

I hoping to be able to pick up the DVD tomorrow (well, in a few hours time now) - if it's out here, that is. I'm looking forward to being able to see the previews for New Frontier, and all the rest of the bonus material as well.

That said, I will be picking up Heroes on DVD tomorrow, so that might be taking priority for a short while :p

I've held off on buying Heroes, and I'm almost proud of myself for doing so. I do expect my resolve to fail when the new season starts up next week.

Oh, I know. I think it was easily the best thing on TV this season. Certainly the only new show of the 2006-2007 season that hooked me for every episode.
