  The Batman Superman Movie: World's Finest 1997

  ★★★★ Watched by Jason Tucker 05 Aug 2022

  Possibly the high point of Superman: The Animated Series, and I'm kind of surprised it wasn't part of both series rather than just three episodes of Superman. Too bad this was after the crappy Joker redesign, but Mark Hamill is in rare form, and arguably the interplay between him and Clancy Brown's Luthor is better than anything that Daly and Conroy do as Clark and Bruce. The absolute high point, of course, is the fight between Harley and Mercy. Nothing tops that.

  Watched for the Scavenger Hunt #56 - Watch a murder mystery

  Rian Johnson has finally made a movie that I not only liked, but absolutely adored. Masquerading as a traditional whodunnit, this is really more the Scream of mystery films, a pastiche of tropes, but done in a way that really works. Every character is an absolute stereotype, practically Christie-like in their introductions and alibis, which sounds like it would get tiresome, but again, it works. Perhaps because of the…
