DC Animated Features issue...

This is not a review of the movies that DC has put out over the last couple years. It's just something weird I've noticed as I have collected and watched them.

Every time I watch these flicks I fall asleep. Every single time. I'll get the newest one on bluray and pop it into the machine. About half way through the flick I drop into a deep sleep. I'm usually not tired when I start the movie and I do find them interesting enough to keep my attention but each time I find myself dozing off and having to come back to it at a later time.

Like I said... I think the movies are good and I look forward to each new release. Only one has gotten a bad review from me and that's the first one, Superman Doomsday. It was pretty horrible and it made me question the brand as a whole the first time out of the gate but since then they have delivered pretty quality story and animation.

Could it be that it's due to my knowledge of the source material? The movies are based on comic book story lines that I am familiar with and most are ones I own in paper form from the get go. Could it be that I grow tired due to the fact I know how it's going to end? I don't know.

It's a little annoying though and I made attempts to get over it on the latest venture into the world of the animated DCU as I sat down to view the Batman: Under the Red Hood. I sat up on the couch avoiding the dreaded lay down position, I had a snack and a beverage with me, and I watched it in the middle of the day so I wasn't in the least bit tired. But as the movie went on and the snack was finished I found my eye lids growing heavy. I readjusted the sitting position and focused on the screen more. And then I woke up.

Somewhere in there I nodded off and missed half the movie. When I did awake I went back and finished the movie and have since come to the conclusion that it was really well done and I had liked it a lot but still... in the end I once again fell asleep.

I can't figure it out.

I just don't know.

Maybe I have that weird sleeping disease... Narco-Sleepy...
