AMV Spotlight of the Week

This weeks AMV Spotlight is on YouTuber xthehuntressx.  Xthehuntressx takes the song “Fighter” performed by Christina Aguilera and edits it around scenes from Justice League.  These cut scenes are very clean and crisp, which makes the AMV so much nicer to view.  At one point I began to wonder if xthehuntressx used Black Canary to emulate Ms. Aguilera, when Black Canary is using her sonic scream I just pictured Aguilera hit her high notes.  The one fault I have for the AMV is that it has side borders. If the video image would have fit the YouTube screen it would have been more attractive. One of the great things about this video is that you get to see a verity of DC heroes.  Some you will know and others that are less known unless you read DC Comics.  Great job xthehuntressx.  Thanks to YouTube for the video and you can find it on their site or check it out below:

Justice League Doomed?

ICv2 is reporting that Warner Bros. Animation has Justice League Doom on slate for a early 2012 release.  The DC animated movies have been really well done.  If your library hasn’t been picking these up you should consider them for you animated collection.  However, these movies are not children shows.  They do tackle more complex issues and themes, so these should be placed in you Young Adult section or if you have a separated out anime/animation collection place them there.  Doom is based of the Graphic Novel JLA: Tower of Babel, were super villains have discovered Batman’s contingency plans on how to take out superheroes that go rogue.
