Wonder Woman in animation general discussion

[I'm a Fish]

I thought Bloodlines had some good animation (at times).

I wish they would stop bringing in "star" actors and actresses for their animated movies. Some of them aren't that good (as said above, voice acting isn't as easy as some might assume), and often I find them more distracting than anything.

Like I like Rosario Dawson as an actress. But she wasn't very good as Wonder Woman. Her lines always sounded forced to me. And I would never think while watching, "There's Wonder Woman." I would just think, "That's Rosario Dawson."

Also, I have to say the actual animation for the last several movies hasn't been that great. Good, quality animation isn't cheap, and maybe they'd have more money in the budget for it if it wasn't being spent on "big names" for the voice cast?

I honestly think a Wonder Woman or Superman or Justice League DTV movie with gorgeous, eye-popping animation will draw more attention (and sales) than any "all star cast" of voice actors.

I definitely thought the voice acting in Bloodlines was weaker compared to some of the stuff we got in the earlier DCAU. Vanessa at one point shouted "answer me, dammit!" and my reaction was "really? They didn't get any other takes of that line reading?" It's like some of them took a Dramamine before recording, including Dawson (who I otherwise really like as an actress). The best of the new bunch was whoever did Dr. Cyber, and Cree Summer doing Hippolyta and Medusa because she's a voice acting veteran.

I've think Vanessa Marshall and Lucy Lawless are probably my favorite Diana voices after Eisenberg.

Sorry but that scene in the comic is SUPREME!, here is mmm kinda soft and I see it includes The Batman.

An anime styled Wonder Woman series with animated fight scenes as good as Avatar/TLOK would be the dream.

I thought Bloodlines was one of Dawson's strongest performances as Diana, although to each their own...

I thought she got better as the film went on, but it wasn't consistent, IMO.

Bloodlines is probably Dawson's best performance as Wonder Woman. I chalk that up mainly to the material. In all the other movies Diana's role was little more than Superman's girlfriend and getting her ass kicked, so she didn't exactly have much to work with.

But even then, I still don't think she's a good Diana. Listening to her deliver lines, you can imagine her thinking to herself, "I need to use my Serious Voice." I remember feeling that way even when she voiced Artemis in the 2009 movie.

She did okay as Batgirl in Lego Batman. Maybe she should stick to less formal, down-to-earth characters as opposed to immortal warrior demi-gods?

Wait..., in the comic, did Diana let those women kill all those men in front of her? Who wrote that comic, Zack Snyder?

[Gaius]

I liked the white and gold costume for the aged Diana in Red Son.

I thought she was good in Death/Reign as well. I liked that scene of her and Lois talking to each other.

My favorite part is when the ponytail finally comes undone...

not in front of her, she was napping

[Sebastianne]

I did not see the movie, but in the comic it shows more deeply Diana's disbelief in the American away also they do not even mention Batman.
