Robot Chicken: DC Comics Special

It was hilarious for the Robot Chicken crew doing this amazing special on the DC Characters. Using Aquaman (Basically 70's Version) as the main character and how useless he is to the team, it was very creative to have him being pushed too far.

What the DC Special does a bit better than the Star Wars specials is offer a more cohesive riff on the subject matter. Somehow it feels less random, and that actually makes things feel more . . . well, special. Outside of that, this is precisely the Robot Chicken sense of humor you either love or hate. If you're looking for more of Superman and Batman, they're not M.I.A., but it's spread to a much more diverse cast. And that's a positive.

It's a little less lowbrow than Robot Chicken usually is too. There's a really unfunny segment where "The Nerd" becomes Green Lantern, but I think they only made it because they had the toys from the 2011 Green Lantern cartoon at their disposal. Other than that, all the gags here are really thought-out and specific to the characters they're poking fun at. Many of the jokes have unexpected payoffs later, which made it feel like it was treated with more care, and truly a special, as opposed to an episode of television.

This was fun. I would still recommend it as DC parody content, it's more than just regular Robot Chicken.
