Sam Liu is getting darker and darker on the road of destroying the classics.

Friends who are familiar with DC animation should know director Sam Liu very well. Many of his works at that time, such as "Batman Year One", "Batman and Superman Public Enemy", "Justice League Crisis on Two Earths" and "Justice League War of Gods and Demons" are very classic.

But the last few Sam Liu works can be said to have ruined many classic comics. First, the first half of the story was forcibly added to "The Deadly Joke". Let the master sleep with Batgirl Barbara, and the two masters and apprentices of different generations get together. Doesn't Sam Liu think it's funny, isn't this a disgusting comic fan? "The Deadly Joke" only scored 6.8, and the director was to blame.

The original work "Batman and Harley Quinn" is not a classic, but it is still okay.

Immediately after, "Reign of Superman" collapsed. The last movie "Death of Superman" was pretty good. Sam Liu and Jake La Torrena co-directed the new version of "The Death of Superman", which is more tragic than the 2007 one, and Zhenglian is no longer just a background board. But wait until the next "Reign of Superman" is a bit terrible. The decisive battle between Hei Chao and Mechanical Chao makes people want to yawn, and the battle of the cloak is not fierce at all.

As soon as Suicide Squad Severe Punishment came out, I thought that Sam Liu was back. The ironic ending takes the story of Suicide Squad to new heights. Hearing that he is going to direct "Red Son" is still a little bit looking forward to.

The result is that the classic "Red Son" is not compressed farts. There is no reflection in the original work, and the United States has become an existence standing on the highest point of morality. Hong Zichao is outrageous to be hacked. Even Red Son's Batman is extremely dissatisfying. There is no classic twist at the end. I don't quite understand how DCAM got to this point.

What happened to Sam Liu recently, the more classic works are adapted, the more shit. On the contrary, the original story can still be shot well. Why do you have to cut out the story and forcibly make changes to the original. You can shoot a two-hour high-definition re-enactment of "Red Son" and it will get rave reviews. A good hand is so sloppy that Sam Liu better play less DC classics in the future.
