When Morrison restarted the JLA, he began with a story pitting the League against a group of attacking “White” Martians.
JUSTICE LEAGUE ALIEN INVASION SERIES
Of course, the Morrison JLA isn’t quite the one that shows up in “Secret Origins”, but most of that we’ll deal with as the series progresses. At that point it was like, “Well, you’ve got to bow to the inevitable.” Grant’s version came out and then people really wanted to see an animated Justice League.
At the same time that got us interested in doing the show, it got the fans rabid…. Part of it was there had been a resurgence of the Justice League in the comics in the very recent past… which got a lot of fan reaction and, obviously, sales spikes. Timm explains the revival’s effect on the show: Morrison’s version was a return to the JLA being a single team comprised of the biggest heroes in the DC Universe with none of the dead weight that had been cluttering up the book: Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, the Flash, Green Lantern, Martian Manhunter, and Aquaman. However, as the decade progressed, DC Comics started something of a back-to-basic movement, led by a now-legendary new take on the JLA under the guidance of Grant Morrison. So even though B:TAS head honcho Bruce Timm was getting constant requests from fans to do the Justice League in animated form, he didn’t see the point. However, as the grim era of comics took hold in the early 1990s, this version of the JLA appeared painfully out-of-place, and when Batman: The Animated Series hit the air, it’s arguable that the JLA was at a nadir, visibility wise. However, DC had varied from that model – with a great deal of success – in the mid-to-late 1980s, making the JLA into a team comprised of less well-known heroes with more of a lighter tone. In the spirit of trying to keep things simple, the basic concept is that they’re the “big guns” of the DC Universe, brought together to deal with the threats that they can’t handle on their own. These guys you should know: Batman, Superman, Flashīackground: Although they weren’t DC’s first major superhero team – that honour goes to the Justice Society of America, formed during World War II – the Justice League of America (I’ll try to refer to the comics version as “the JLA” to separate them from the cartoon) has a long and storied history. Other debuting characters: Snapper Carr, John Stewart, Hawkgirl Spotlight Characters: J’onn J’onzz, Wonder Woman (both making their DCAU debuts) I run the images through a batch encoder with Irfanview to get rid of black borders on the image, rename the files, and conform them to jpg.Ħ.Summary: As a powerful alien force invades the Earth, both covertly and overtly, the Earth’s greatest heroes must come together to defeat the threat, joined by a Martian exile with prior experience against the invaders and an Amazon princess who is determined to explore man’s world.
and bring down the number of stills to my 60-65 golden number.ĥ. I go through the folder again (immediately)looking at the frames on large preview and try and remove frames that replicate a certain lighting style or framing. I’m then left with usually around 80-100 really interesting frames. I view all the frames as a slideshow and I remove any frame that there are doubles of (someone might be blinking in first frame and normal in second) or remove any that seem less interesting this time around.Ĥ. So the next step is to edit, usually there might be a week or 2 between the first grab and this edit stage. This usually leaves me with around 200-250 frames per film. Depending on mood I could spend a few hours just doing the grabbingģ. I watch through the movies on VLC, usually between 3x and 4x speed while listening to podcasts, grabbing any frame that interests me. i try to keep a mix of styles.genres/directors and DP’s so I dont get bored while working.Ģ. Make a to do pile, its a combination of recommendations, stuff Ive been enjoying myself, stuff I want to rewatch…. Hi Arturo, Ive considered having a donate button, but I feel bad for asking for money, maybe I’ll post an amazon wishlist so people can contribute in that way sending me movies I want to feature on the site.ġ.
