The new Batman series The Brave and the Bold is pretty great. It's a (mostly) not serious take on the character with more emphasis on comedy than drama. Although there are some serious episodes like the recent "Chill of the Night" which involved Batman tracking down the man who murdered his parents. One of the things I like about the show is the writers mix and match attitude towards continuity. So you'll have old school design Green Arrow next to the most recent Blue Beetle. They also give shout outs to the old school shows as Kevin Conroy (B:TAS & JL/U Batman) guest starred recently as the Batman of Zur En Ahr and in the aforementioned Chill of the Night episode Adam West played Thomas Wayne.

I loved that the three parts that make up Batman's personality are; Intelligence, Aggression and... Stoner.

I don't watch the show but what's the deal with Ben 10 and the constant new series? It seems like every other season it's a new "series."

Episode posted:For whoever cares, CN ordered an additional 20 episodes of Generator Rex. If I was 10 I'd probably be all over Generator Rex. It's got well animated action, monstrous villains and just a little bit of an edge. Now it doesn't really do anything for me, which is fine since it's audience IS 10 year old boys. Unlike shows such as Adventure Time and Flapjack which are trying to throw in some more stuff for the older set.

haveblue posted:Those backgrounds are fantastic but I almost made a record-scratching sound out loud when I got down to the character designs. I really, really hope they look better in motion. Those character designs are basically inspired by really old school anime/manga. They have a real Tezuka/Ishinomori(Cyborg 009/Kamen Rider) look.

OMG JC a Bomb! posted:Between, "Dude, how in the H are we going to fix this S?" and "You're the one who threw me too hard, you hole!", it's like they're trying to set a record for complaint letters to standards and practices. The first episode also had them stealing the magic keyboard from a wizard while he was taking a piss. The show was very strange but funny. As for the segue into Adult Swim, that would kind of make sense as they're supposed to be starting an hour earlier sometime eventually.

The Steak Justice posted:So I keep seeing this "FireBreather" movie being advertised on cartoon network. It doesn't look good at all, but the thing I can't get past is that the kid is half dragon. Yeah, that bothered me about the commercial as well. They make a big deal about his dad being like 60 feet tall.

Getting away from censorship for a minute, it seems that CN is doing a one hour special showing of Young Justice on the 26th. The look for the various heroes looks more like the recent DTV movie versions than the old DCAU ones. The commercial for it was also downplaying any characters other than Robin, Impulse and Aqualad.

A kind of weird bit of Young Justice was that Speedy had this whole introductory bit but apparently he's not a regular character on the show. Also, the female characters kind of get the short end of the stick as Miss Martian is only in the last two minutes of the show and Artemis doesn't show up at all.

So for that Firebreather movie did they ever even kind of explain the mechanics of how a giant monster and a regular sized human woman had a kid?

The problem with Megas was that it had an interesting premise but was hamstrung by the main character being a dick who never learned or grew.

Tonight's episode of Batman was pretty great up until the very end where they ended up doing this ultra cop out ending. The premise of the episode is Batman getting bitten by a vampire and after slightly toying with a "Red Rain" adaptation they switch it up a bit and have Vampirebatman versus the JLI in the Satellite. The whole thing was pretty fun/funny until the very end where the whole thing turned out to be a hallucination after Batman got bitten in the very beginning of the episode. Also another sucky part was apparently they don't have Jeremy Shada as flashback Robin anymore.

The weird thing is that the show already had an "out" in that Jason Blood was supposed to be developing a cure so they could have just dosed everyone with it. Also they apparently had some crazy restrictions like the fact that they couldn't actually show anyone being bitten so it had to do a cutaway every time it happened.

The Flintstones wasn't really a "kids" show to begin with (they did a goddamn cigarette commercial.) It may seem tame as poo poo to people today but then a lot of TV was back then.

I actually like the last reboot of Masters of the Universe. Mainly because Skeletor was a tremendous DICK. Also was fun was watching them dance around the fact that Teela was conceived through pre-marital sex.

I wonder if that story arc where they replace one of the main characters is still as insane as it was years ago when it first aired. From what I remember they replaced the actress but used "magic" to make everyone see the original person.
