Stop it now!
The official commercial was bad enough, but fine it makes sense, not everyone is on the internet or going to comic book stores to know about this initiative.
But these trailers need to stop. They are genuinely bad and reek of 90s promotion with their beats and sound effects.
Head below the jump to see more of these…ugh…trailers.The commercial wasn’t my favorite but fine it worked.
But then these other things started popping up. These….sneak peeks.
Color me excited to see Grifter as a part of the DC Universe. But man, I hate this so much. (You can actually here it with very overused music here at Newsarama. )
Stormwatch is another one I look forward too. But ugh…
And Scott! Man, I’m looking forward to your Static Book too, but this trailer is just the bleh. Its like a barfed up version of the 90s.
Look, I’m not a huge fan of motion comics, and hell I don’t even expect these to be. Also, I’m not a massive wizard at iMovie, Adobe Premiere or Final Cut, but for such a large campaign this looks and feels like someone at Warner Bros handed an intern a bunch of books and said, “Here. Make a movie out of this.”
Look you got a lot of good momentum behind this DC, just keep it going and stop making crummy promos. Get someone who knows how to make it a little more visually appealing on these or stop making them.
They are just not good.
But then again, it got me to devote a whole post to it. So mission accomplished too.
