Robot Chicken (DC Comics Special)

Not really worth $10...
I love DC. I buy all the stuff they put out, so I had to check this out.

I was shocked to find the "RC/DC Special" is only 23 minutes long! I had assumed they were going to throw in all their old DC comics sketches, but NOPE... It's just the main 23 minute episode.

Sure, they got two commentaries (with the creators and with the actors) and lots of behind the scenes stuff... but it's still not worth it. If they had thrown in all the other DC jokes they had done before it would have been good, but they didn't.

I feel bad for spending $10 on the DVD, so speading $15 for the bluray is ridiculous. If you ever find it in the $5 bin of your local retailer, it's totally worth the $5, until then... I'd give this a pass.

Wish it was longer
As much as I appreciated the new material, they should have added the previous DC Comics parodies that they did. This "Special" was too short to really get any real yuks out of.

The in-joke in Bane reappearing to 'break the Bat' in multiple Batman skits is priceless. And so is Aquaman's early floundering (excuse the pun) with his fellow Justice League-ers and later...you'll find out!

In a manner of speaking, Robot Chicken's DC Comics Special is not as funny or memorable as any of the three Star Wars Specials they've aired in years previous (which...
