Adult Swim already has a cartoon series based on the toys I've bought. It's called "Robot Chicken."  |

BTAS, particularly the first series, was a work of art disguised as a kids action/adventure show. Sure, it was ostensibly a kids cartoon, but there was a ton of high conceptualizing going on in the development of that show. We're unlikely to see that again given how hands on corporate are nowadays at WB and Disney. That said, if this show is fun and smart, I'm all for it. Ultimately, the goal should be to get kids so enamored with superheroes that they seek out the comics. At that point, it's up to DC to provide comics that would appeal to the same group of kids. You fail to see the intended purpose of Cartoon Network-it's not to get kids so excited they go out and buy comics, it's to get them so excited about super-heroes they go out and buy toys. The last few DC series on Cartoon Network (GL: Animated Series, Young Justice, the last Batman series) were cancelled not because of ratings or lack of interest in the show, but because they did not materialize the expected toy sales. You can bet there will be a new action series line tied to this and it's sales will determine how long this series lasts, not ratings, not comic sales or anything else. -M Yeah, I'm baffled by their continued attempts to work together. Still, if it can stay on DC can use it to get kids into the movies and live action shows (and test market which characters have enough interest to get their own movies/shows). |
