It's the longest...by one minute

This is the sixth "Robot Chicken" extra long episode overall and the title should tell you which DC Comic special it is. Anyway, this was incredible because it has an actual story with it. The first couple of segments are separate, but then it all becomes one big segment. It basically features Batman and Superman having a rivalry. It's certainly more entertaining than "Batman Vs. Superman: Dawn Of Justice". Batman is told by Superman he can travel back in time.

He ends up using a treadmill which was in fact from the comics. I love how Brianiac tells the audience this. Interestingly enough, he's just talking to a brick wall at first. He then appears to genuinely be talking to the audience. He ends up bringing a bunch of superheroes from other Universes. You who are fans of DC Comics should get most of the references.

I knew Negative Wonder Woman would show up eventually. It's resolved by Batman the janitor simply unplugging it. Another great gag is the guy with the rock meeting the guy with the paper and the guy with the scissors. The Flash joke was great too. It really is one joke after another. It can be hard to review a sketch special thing, but this works out wonderfully for a review. ****

"Robot Chicken DC Comics Special 3: Magical Friendship" is the 3rd and most recent entry to the series of "Robot Chicken" meets superheroes and it lets the first one look Oscar-worthy. the second was already pretty forgettable and so is this one here. The stories on the superheroes have gotten completely absurd by now, but not in a funny way, just a super-embarrassing way. If I was the copyright owner of these superhero characters, I'd certainly not give Seth Green permission anymore to use them. We will see if the Emmys are going to nominate or even awards this little 23-minute movie again like they did with the first two, but i hope not. They should not encourage Green to make further installments of this crappy series. Adam West, Weird Al, Alfred Molina and Jonathan Banks aren't cutting the cake either, sadly. Not recommended.
