With the sneak peek revealed at San Diego comic con, I thought I'd make a thread for discussion

Looks interesting. I think they're using the John Trujillo version of Black Condor but I'm not so sure given his skin tone.

guess Red Tornado's destiny is to be killed at Kara's hands.tongue

Uh, another "But what if the members of the Justice League were evil" thing. This is becoming as tired and overdone as Zombie Survival anything.

I don't know why DC has this obsession with that one particular twist. At this point it's so overdone it's... boring.

I suppose I could give it some slack as it looks like the story will be focusing more on Nazi rule than superheroes going evil.

I somehow doubt the story will focus that closely on people being stripped of their rights and humanity and shipped off to die deaths that can't be properly expressed in words other than the occasional few shots to remind us that yes, Nazis be evil

I mean, it doesn't look bad. The animation seems nice. Voice acting seems fine. Direction looks good. It looks like it'll be at the very least decent.

It's just... I can't muster enthusiasm for the concept.

They oughta do the Crime Syndicate of America again if they're just going to do evil Justice League.

The main Justice League dudes are off-world fighting the bad guys and not afraid of anythinging so when Ultraman and Owlman et al try to roll up on their turf Ray and whoever else wants to chip in can fight them. What if the Nazis won is played out.

You fell victim to one of the classic blunders!

Outside of the evil Justice League bit, the Freedom Fighters being a super hero group fighting in a world where the Nazi's won WWII is the concept for which the group was created, back in the 70's. In that respect, yeah, it's not an original idea.

I heard someone mention Black Condor. Who are the rest of the Freedom Fighters? Uncle Sam? Dollman? The Human Bomb? Firebrand?

I recognized Phantom Lady but no one else in the trailer besides Black Condor. I'm not even sure which Condor they're using. I think it might be the third one, but the skin tone makes me unsure.

So, I was able to watch this yesterday, since Teletoon aired the entire thing.

....the part that confuses me the most is that this is supposed to be a prequel to Crisis On Earth X, but Ollie and Barry clearly did not recognize Ray (nor did he recognize them), even though he meets them in this animated movie.

What's up with that?
