Yeah, Under the Red Hood is amazing. I've read the comics, and it's a pretty good adaptation. The more I think about it, I think Under the Red Hood and Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker Uncut (the edited version is a travesty) are my two favorite animated Batman movies. Return of the Joker, among many other things it does well, has a pretty awesome play on words by the Joker in a scene where he says, "Eye on the other hand." For anyone familiar with that scene, I think it's some brilliant writing.
I'd actually rank Return of the Joker and Under the Red Hood over Nolan's Batman Begins and Dark Knight Rises. The Dark Knight provides some stiff competition though. Ledger killed it as the Joker, so damn good.
Year One is great too. It's pretty much a page for page perfect adaptation of the comic.
Justice League: Doom and Justice Crisis on Two Earths are also great Batman movies, even though they got Justice League in the title. They're really all about his stories, that just happen to involve the League. You stick Batman in any DC story though, and it's hard for him not to shine brighter than the other characters. He's DC's coolest hero.

Got em in the mail. Haven't watched either yet. But I really like the case Spawn comes in. Everything should be in a hard metal bound case like it, lol.
Also, in other western animation news, I'm gonna be pre-ordering the Legend of Korra book 1 DVD soon. And I already own all three seasons of Avatar.

I watched Superman Unbound recently. It was ok. I love me some John Noble, but Brainiac was severely underused in this movie. I got past the different art style (I feel that all DCAU videos should be Timm style, lol)
It was also rather short and not a lot happened. I was hoping for more. But it wasn't too bad. I liked JL Doom better. And even though I didn't like the art, I liked Superman vs The Elite better too.

Yes, but the strength of South Park's writing is so much greater than that of Family Guy. Few other shows could have done something like that and pulled it off.

I guess I'll spoil this too since Mr Popo did, though honestly I find the idea of spoilering Family Guy a bit silly.

Macfarlane stated a couple years ago that he wanted to stop doing the show. The fanbase obviously does not want him to. So he decided to start giving fans the middle finger. I would not be surprised if in the Christmas episode where "Stewie tries to get the only thing he wants for Christmas" he dies off aswell.
