Must See: MARVEL/DC

Marvel/DCTHE PREMISE: Action figures Superman, Batman and Spider-Man meet in a bar. And in comedic fashion, talk about the successes and failures of their respective movie franchises. Action figure Wolverine is also there, he blames the Man Of Steel for taking away the director of the X-Men movies. But nothing is what it seems. Somewhere, the super villains of both universes are plotting against them. Can our heroes finally work together and save the day?

I was just checking out the "I'm a Marvel... I'm a DC" parody by ItsJustSomeRandomGuy when I accidentally discovered this webseries in his YouTube channel. What started out as Marvel and DC action figures talking crap about each other ended up being one of the best Marvel/DC team-up story I have ever seen. And even though this story is both unofficial and out of continuity, the sheer pleasure you'll get from the heroes "comic awareness" (ala Deadpool) is worth the time and effort. And while this is performed using Marvel and DC action figures, the voice acting is superb. ItsJustSomeRandomGuy and JustSomeRandomGal does a great job of providing each character with their own unique voice. What amazes me most though, is that Harley and Joker sounds exactly like their animated DCU voices. Now that's impressive. Go check it out!
