Why not Plastic Man?

Nothing has happened to The Flash... they are just teaming batman up with certain B/C list character from the DC Universe. Give them a little more face-time they otherwise would not receive.

 

[Mister J]

Grodd is more of a Flash villain, but I have no complaints about seeing Eel early on. He would seem to fit right in with this show.

Flash is schedule to appear at some point.

 

[Superwoman Prime]

Plastic is worthy of some toon spotlight. The general viewing public has no clue who the character is.

I know but mabye Flash will make a cameo. I'm not saying I don't like Plastic Man. He's in my top 10 favorite dc heroes but mabye there should a villian like queen bee or one of Plas's villians. If not at least have Woozy

 

[Hush]

Wow another DC hero show where the main plot is turning everyone into primates.

Or that he predates Mr. Fantastic. AAMOF Stan Lee credits PM as his "inspiration" fo Mr. Fantastic.

It's like a running joke when Grodd's around. Reminds me of the old syndicated SuperFriends. He either wants to turn everyone into gorillas or take over Gorilla City ...every ****ing time. t:

When Flash appears later on, if he makes a 'If I can just speed up my molecules fast enough' joke, I'm going to fall out laughing.

I know its just I saw this in JLU like 3 years ago. lol It was funny then i guess it will be hilarious now.

How many people want to bet that there will be tons of kids and parents going, "Look! It's Mr. Fantastic! But different!"

Of course, apparently everyone here realizes that Plastic Man was actually first, so thankfully, we can avoid that.

That's what I'm wondering myself . It would make more sense to have Flash guest star with his Rogues Gallery Villain.

I'd have to agree with what others have been saying that the show is trying to pump up lesser known characters.



Can't wait for the ep tonight.

 

[The Manly Torch]

Wow. Is Plastic Man really this ******ed?

 

[terry78]

Plastic Man: Are you seeing what I'm seeing,because I'm seeing gorillas, riding pterodactyls...with harpoons....carrying a boat.

Batman: It's Gorilla Grodd.

Plastic Man: IT'S MESSED UP IS WHAT IT IS!


LOL.

 

[WOLVERINE25TH]

Plas is bein' pretty funny. I don't find him nearly this amusin' in the books. Maybe Cartoon Network should start airin' blocks of the old DC shows after each one's appearance on this one (minus Blue Beetle 'cause he was too lame to ever get one).

 

[SHADOWBAT69]

I'm lovin' this show! Seriously. I was abit suprised at just how good this episode was. I think it was way better than the first. Definitely a great follow up. I am, once again, very impressed with the animation. Especially with the fireworks in the opening segment. Thats another thing Im really enjoying. The James Bond style openings. It was a cool treat (haha) to see Fire appear and lend a hand. The plot was very "Saturday morning" but it fits with the show and also with Grodd as the villain. Thought Plastic Man was hilarious. I actually laughed out loud at afew of his lines. Batmans characterization is excellent. hes the serious crimefighter and also shows some humor. Not overdone, imo, but just right. Enough for the viewer to get a chuckle. It was cool to see the Batplane in this, very neat design. I also like how they are able to throw the bckstory of the secondary hero in these episodes so that the viewer can learn who they are. It never ruins the flow of the show and they fit it in pretty well. Overall Id rank this episode an 8. Im very much looking forward to next friday.

 

[DOG LIPS]

I am officially loving this show. I really liked Plas, I didn't find him annoying at all. He had some great scenes. I like the animation, the style, and even the dialogue has been great.

 

[Ceb-Man]

I love this show. I cannot wait to see more. Plastic Man is awesome. Man, how long it has been since is saw the Batplane, not Batwing. I love Batman on this show and seeing also Kite-Man, Gentleman's Ghost, and Fire too.

 

[:-}]

i just saw it

meh

i still dont know what to think of this series

 

[signalman]

This episode was a BLAST. FUN! FUN! FUN!

We get to see: Plastic Man, Fire, Gentleman Ghost, Kite Man, Grood, and Dinosaur Island.

B+

 

[SoulManX]

Eel "stole" this ep the shovel scene was great

 

[Captain Planet!]

I love Plastic Man. Tom Kenny was born to play Plastic Man.

Maybe some positive reaction will lead Plas getting his own show (I didn't think that unaired pilot was that bad).
