The DCU Animation Thread.

most of the JSA has been pushed to the side when it comes to animate series for the exception of Wildcat...Ill take some Dr. Mid-Nite, Alan Scott, or Jay Garrick....even though we saw them in JLU id like to see Mr. Terrific and Stargirl again

Don't forget Atom Smasher either...

and yes I am serious about him starring too.

Agreed. Add me to the Hourman list as well...

The Jay Garrick Flash has shown up briefly in BATMAN: BRAVE AND THE BOLD.

It is still a fun show. A bit hit-or-miss, but as the show isn't meant to be taken seriously, I don't get uptight about it. Personally, I love that Batman INSISTS on calling his Bat-Brass Knuckles, "The Hammers of Justice".

...And don't forget...they're "unisex..."

That cracked me up.

That cracked me up.

Yeah, it was one of those great brilliant lines. Right next to, "Your hotness was distracting me."

 

[Max Shrek]

It felt like watching Superman get beaten down by... some random new uber-character-monstrosity just to build up the threat.

That's Doomsday for ya.

Man, that latest ep of Brave and the Bold was Kirbytastic.

Agreed.

 

[Dread]

This week's episode with a full Kamandi treatment was actually quite solid. It worked with a lot of what Kirby invented as well as created a good way for Batman to enter it, and was overall a better episode than I was expecting. The Miracle Man bit at the beginning was also amusing.

 

[BlackLantern]

a little Mr. Miracle goes a long way

 

[Dread]

It's amazing no one has thought to do a marriage joke with him before. It's old in sitcoms but new for DC superheroes. Miracle and Barda are C-List enough that you can do that without diminishing them. There are moments of imaginative brilliance that those who dismiss BATMAN: BRAVE AND THE BOLD as "kiddie" will miss out on.

Well this bit of news kinda sucks :

Well this bit of news kinda sucks :

I really hate CN

 

[RogueDK]

I really hate CN

Yeah, as if taking off the Brave & The Bold reruns in the morning wasn't enough...

..now they want to push back the latest eps? I was looking rather forward to OMAC.

 

[Anubis]

F**k!

 

[Metamorpho1977]

Looks like they're doing to Batman B&B what they did to JLU.

Yea networks suits are the biggest overpaid bunch of moneky**** I have ever seen

Heh. Yeah these are the same geniuses that have taken all the music off of Mtv...and keep putting more and more live action shows on cartoon network...

 

[Sam Fisher]

Well, after all these are the same people who greenlit the craptastic "Shaggy and Scooby Doo: Get A Clue!".

 

[Dread]

I think it is beyond obvious now that the execs who run CARTOON NETWORK these days, or at least for the last five years, are at best incompetent. It's no surprise they are stalling on BATMAN BRAVE AND THE BOLD's last four episodes of the season.

But, there's always reliable Canada.

 

[NightBeetle]

After watching those live-action shows,Cartoon Network really is becoming a equivalent to MTV and MTV2

 

[Panthro]

Any good alternative channels to pitch superhero cartoons to beyond CN?

 

[Anubis]

Nick toons and one of those Disney channels seem to be doing pretty good.

Sure is. I am getting soooo OD'ed on most of the live action crap too...from any channel!

Maybe Boomerang will stay pure...I hope.

Casting news about SUPERMAN/BATMAN: PUBLIC ENEMIES from the Comics Continuum website (which is usually very reliable, albeit a smaller reporting site than CBR or Newsarama):

http://www.comicscontinuum.com/stories/0906/27/index.htm

* The voice cast of Superman/Batman: Public Enemies will include Kevin Conroy as Batman, Tim Daly as Superman and Clancy Brown as Lex Luthor.

Yeah, they're going for the crowd pleaser status. Which is...not a bad thing. At least it will allow Tim Daly to reprise his role as Superman in something better than BRAINIAC ATTACKS, and Conroy to do likewise in something better than GOTHAM KNIGHTS or a video game. I would imagine if Lois Lane shows up, Dana Delaney is likely recast while they are at it.
