DC Showcase: Adam Strange

It's just a short movie and that's the only thing I don't like as a Dc fan about them. It's just a normal plot with normal scenes. Nothing so interesting .

I love what they did on this one, it felt like a big improvement from the Phantom Stranger. I hope DC continues to release these, I'm glad that they're becoming more frequent. I'm not really familiar with Adam Strange, other than his appearance from the 52 comic event, but I really liked the aesthetic of this short, especially the Dead Space vibes. It would be cool to get a rated R animated like this; I'm sure it wouldn't make money though, so I doubt it.

DC Showcase is an area of DC animation that creates animated shorts to introduce audiences to characters too obscure to get their own film. Adam Strange, from what I've heard, is a much different character than this short. You don't even get a good idea of who the character is. Instead of showing who Adam Strange is in his prime, where audiences can get a good idea of who he normally is, they decide to show him as a drunk, miserable person who nobody likes. The rest of the characters aren't given much either. Most of them come off as A-holes. The positives is the animation. It's not amazing, but it was clean. The action was overly violent and almost indiscernible.

The plot is pretty good there is action i Don't like that ending is unknown because he could easily be in another place and die from old age which would be very sad yeah soo I kinda recommend it for a watch its not long soo yeah thats all.

While Adam Strange's character could have been better presented, at least the story has a beginning, an ending, and an end. Is the character's story respected? No. But it is what always happens; a character is taken and stripped of everything that identifies it to try to satisfy a certain target audience.
