Does that mean we have to design ninja masks that can fit on a raptor. Oh, bother...
But worth the effort in the end.

Especially when we see balding, overweight fans of our masterpiece costumed up as their heroes at conventions.

Wait, this is supposed to convince me to proceed with the design..?

Very Happy

Well, Iv been downloading this series and enjoying it immensely.
Todays episode, Fall of the Blue Beetle was another cracker.
My 7 yr old sone adores the wisecracking Blue beetle and for a 70s era DC fan it was great to see the return to a Finger/Infantino era Batman...In this medium, A lighter take on batman is very welcome and timed perfectly.
The manner in which they ackowledge the history of the Beetle, Ted Cord and the 40s era Beetle was a nice touch.
The last ep with Kamandi!!!!!! I had forgotten about the Jack Kirby character completly and it brought back wonderful memories from when I was about 8 or 9. ands getting a stack of comics from the local store .
This is a cartoon show thouroughly enjoyed by my son and myself.
Beautiful model design and layout too.....

Twas a great episode, I was pleased to see references back to Dan Garret and an appearance by Jarvis Kord as well. And it was a better end Ted Kord met in this episode than the one he got in the comics. Very Happy

Oh, this is definitely the animated series of the moment. Batman really has been done rather proud by the animation genre.

Agreed. You can really tell it's made by people who love the DCU and Batman. Smile

Absolutely. It's one of those handful of shows where I actually actively look forward to each new episode.

Just watched th elatest one this eveninhg with Mini Liam..
Journey to the centre of the Bat.
Pre credits we see the Elongated Man, Ralph Dibney and Plastic man in a comedic turn which was great...they had a dig at the fact that no one could remember Dibneys name...
Then the main show had Aquaman in full on heroic, brash but dim mode which was great and the Atom....
a really good show and I havnt seen a bad one so far...

Loving it. Really loving it.....

I still can't forgive the comics for killing off Sue Dibney.

Indeed, I'm definitely not a fan of that storyline either.

Good episode, I'd have been happier to see the Ray Palmer Atom but Choi was a good foil for "Outrageous!" Aquaman. Smile

Mine as well, I'll miss the show when it goes on break. Shame Marvel hasn't attempted a series with a Silver Age flair as well.

Marvel currently don't posses the creative imagination or the nerve to attempt such a hybrid - which is a shame.

But then again, perhaps we should just at least partly put the success of this down to that strange old indefinable Batman magic.

Indeed. It certainly doesn't help that (most of the time) Marvel seems to prefer to reimagine it's Silver Age roots in a modern context.
