Superman/Batman: Public Enemies (The Art of the Title Sequence)
The saying goes “don’t judge a book by its cover” but we can judge a movie by its title sequence, right?
“Six Feet Under” might be the first title sequence I noted, followed by “Carnivàle” which provided more discussion for JA and me than you’d have thought possible. Of course there’s a lot of attention paid to opening title sequences, now (“True Blood”, “Dexter”, etc.), but I think animated films (apart from Pixar’s) get short shrift.
(I also appreciate the title card-only: “LOST”, “Vampire Diaries”, etc.)
Nationalistic propaganda is terribly appropriate, too, when you’re talking Superman and Batman. (Plus! Tim Daly!)
