Public Enemies sequel?[edit]

The article states that Superman/Batman: Apocalypse is a sequel to Superman/Batman: Public Enemies. Is this explicitely stated anywhere or is this simply assumed at this point? --RedKnight (talk) 21:27, 8 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Aside from the same voice actors appearing from Public Enemies, and the events of Public Enemies being mentioned at the beginning, Bruce Timm confirmed it in this interview.-5- (talk) 02:28, 9 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Reviews[edit]

Want to add more reviews but not sure if Pajiba is a notable enough source. The review makes some good points, like how the Batman/Superman film is more about Supergirl and Darkseid than the two heroes of the title. Want to get a second opinion before I include it though. -- Horkana (talk) 23:20, 9 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You can try asking at Wikipedia:WikiProject Films.-5- (talk) 01:38, 10 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Consensus is decided by those who show up, what's your opinion? For a direct to video animated film there is not going to be a huge selection of reviews anyhow, may as well make the most of what is available but there are other editors like you active on the article who might disagree so it's your opinion I'm interested in most. -- Horkana (talk) 02:58, 10 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, go ahead.-5- (talk) 03:10, 10 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to point out that IMDB has listed 22 reviews, with reviews that scale wildly, yet only 2 sites, of questionable credentials, where picked. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1673430/externalreviews —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.194.4.7 (talk) 21:25, 12 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Then go ahead and add some. Just make sure they are properly referenced. If you need help with that, go here.-5- (talk) 23:54, 12 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in Superman/Batman: Apocalypse[edit]

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Superman/Batman: Apocalypse's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "the-numbers":

From Superman/Batman: Public Enemies: "Superman/Batman: Public Enemies - DVD Sales". The Numbers. Nash Information Services. Retrieved 2010-05-21.
From Superman: Doomsday: Superman - Doomsday - DVD Sales - The Numbers. Retrieved 2010-03-27.
From Batman: Gotham Knight: Batman: Gotham Knight - DVD Sales - The Numbers. Retrieved 2010-03-27.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 00:51, 21 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Silly bot. None of those are right, the correct options are either Superman Batman Apocalypse or the page listing the weekly totals for Superman Batman Apocalypse

Any orphan references are almost always vandalism or really badly misguided edits and in most cases it is better not to mess about and instead to WP:REVERT the changes. AnomieBOT helps make vandalism easier to spot but I haven't seen a case yet where filling in the missing references was the right thing to do. -- Horkana (talk) 03:47, 21 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

And of course in this case it was my own badly misguided edit that triggered the bot, a malformed reference which has been fixed. Thanks. -- Horkana (talk) 03:49, 21 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

IGN review[edit]

The review from IGN previously included a quote "Despite a misleading title, this coming-of-age tale is well told." but unfortunately is is no longer clear where this quote comes from, and where the 7 out of 10 rating comes from. I checked the history and the edit summary from when it was added, and it was even more confusing until I did a web search for the exact quote, and I turned up a slightly different version of the IGN review that included a breakdown of the ratings (story 7, video 8, audio 8, extras) which for whatever reason I cannot see when I look at the normal link. I think IGN may have changed the way pages are formatted and this information was lost in the shuffle or maybe it just something about my setup. In any case I've added this explanation just in case anyone else is wondering why the review might not seem to match what is in the link. -- 109.77.237.131 (talk) 03:56, 14 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
