What the DC Special does a bit better than the Star Wars specials is offer a more cohesive riff on the subject matter. Somehow it feels less random, and that actually makes things feel more . . . well, special. Outside of that, this is precisely the Robot Chicken sense of humor you either love or hate. If you're looking for more of Superman and Batman, they're not M.I.A., but it's spread to a much more diverse cast. And that's a positive.
