#Kamandi Alert!

The Good News: Kamandi appears in Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths - Part Two (2024) PG-13 1h 34m.

More Good News: He is voiced by Will Friedle, who previously voiced Terry McGinnis in Batman Beyond.

Even more Good News (though not related to Kamandi): Terry McGinnis / Batman also appears in Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths - Part Two.

This is it for Good News: Kamandi & Terry will be back for Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths - Part Three later this year. 


 The Bad News: As you can see (👆), this version of Kamandi is a little on the Big Head, weird face, and A Little Scrawny side. Even worse, he's kind of whiny. He even cries when an ally is gunned down...while the fight is still ongoing. And instead of a regular old All American pistol, he carries some kind of funky laser pistol. This is not Jack Kirby's Kamandi. 

But the Worst  Bad News: he does almost nothing in the short bit of screen time he has. In face, anybody else could have done what he does. Even Bert or Ernie.

So yes, if you're a true Kamandi fan (moi), you have to see it, so I hope you have the streaming platform formerly known as HBO Max. Just don't expect to enjoy it very much.

Just sayin', sir.
