Set to debut this fall on Cartoon Network:

A kids' cartoon doesn't need to be (and arguably shouldn't be, in certain respects) all dark and brooding, but by the same token, if the retro music is any indication, this show seems to be trying for a deliberately campy tone, which I'd argue is pandering way more toward the nostalgic adults in the audience than to their children. Plastic Man and the new Blue Beetle are GREAT choices for a kids' cartoon (and I'd love to see the new Blue Beetle's hot Hispanic MILF mom from the comics on the show), but including a Silver Age-style Green Arrow on that lineup seems about as out-of-place and self-indulgent as a baby-boomer DJ playing a Warren Zevon song under the pretense that "it's what the young people want to hear."

Still, it looks light-years better than the total piece-of-shit that was "The Batman" cartoon, so I'm cautiously optimistic.

        I suspect it might have been an intentional comment upon the inherent hypocrisy of the autocrat ... [Spoilers] · CrazySugarFreakBoy! · Mon Jul 28, 2008 at 09:29:59 pm EDT

  - Well, I obviously saw some flaws, but it's still quite good in my mind. (no text) · Visionary · Mon Jul 28, 2008 at 12:48:44 am EDT
- It was good, though I liked "Begins" better (no text) · killer shrike · Sat Jul 26, 2008 at 02:31:55 pm EDT
  - Begins had some emotion to it that this one was missing, thanks to the Bruce/Alfred relationship. (no text) · Visionary · Mon Jul 28, 2008 at 12:50:12 am EDT

    - The more I see of this, the more I like it. There is room for multiple Batmen in this world. (no text) · Nats · Mon Jul 28, 2008 at 03:55:58 pm EDT
