I'll likely wait for Netflix since I didn't think the trailers looked good, and the reviews reinforced that notion). But... This looks lousy too. I love The Incredibles, but I'm not sure that animation style works here. Also, that cheesy, Disney-like narration (with giant floating ring) just made this seem all wrong. No dialogue/voices from the cast were heard... I have a feeling this is going to be lousy too. I will give it a chance, but it's telling that I haven't cared for any of the animated DC stuff since Justice League/JL Unlimited ended. Everything since has been geared more towards the kiddies, and I think it's great that there's stuff for them too, but I do miss the more sophisticated stuff from Justice League, not to mention all the way back to Batman: TAS and Superman: TAS. Alas, the new Green Lantern doesn't appear to be in that mold.
