I also forgot to mention...generaly, in animation, feature movies dictate the direction of animation. So if Michael Bay's latest transformers is a hit, you can pretty much bet there will be a spin off series loosely based or tied to a feature movie (and that resulted in Prime...which I enjoyed way more than the movies). Same thing happened with DC and Marvel properties.

No....I DID!

But in all seriousness, isn't this all just very...traditional at this point? New series gets mentioned, art styles and directions are scrutinized, lines are drawn in the sand....We've seen this in every legacy franchise.

Its part of being in a fandom and having opinions and personal taste.

I miss GI Joe: Renegades .-.

Psst: I like Sigma 6.

Looks like all of Marvel's 90's cartoons have been pulled from Netflix. :(

At least they left Wolverine & The X Men, which was a pretty decent show. Shame they never got to make another season.

Right has they introduced the Age of Apocalypse to.

For example the new Avengers show. They tried too much to make it look like the Movie.

I said it too.

Right? I loved that show.

I KNOW RIGHT?!?

Does anybody remember the episode of Johnny bravo where he turns into a woman? I love that one. :P

Tonight was the last episode of Transformers: Prime. At least until their DTV adventure.

Had a lot of ups & downs but I'm really gonna miss this series.

Although I might've liked it even more if Hasbro hadn't blown the surprise a week in advance

Ah man i missed it!? To the internet!

It was like "Here you go, something you've wanted to see in our animation for years! Aww... to late it's cancelled. Oh well :D"

Update! Sorry folks! All the info I put up was right...except the prime replacement part! This new show is the replacement for rescue bots, not prime. Phew! Totally makes more sense.

Man, I really wanted to like the new Avengers show but I don't know, it's just so dumb. Granted it's no United They Stand, but they did THREE FREAKING BRAINWASHED episodes in a row. THREE episodes of the same set up and that's the best they can come up with! *Sigh* Spectacular Spiderman fans use to bug me, but I'm starting to understand how they feel...

The Avengers in that one seem to be incredibly unlucky, or the writers have a mind control fetish.

I was ready to embrace the new series. Now, though… I'm going to miss this show's feel. Maybe the new show will do something unexpec—

… I HAVE TO WAIT FOR MORE INFO!?

:(

Alright, I'm interested to see where this goes.

Really? That's dumb.

A block of Kaijudo episodes just finished downloading so I've been digging in again, gotta say I'm still loving this. All the creatures are really awesome, I'm still blown away with what it gets away with (Nigel got ran over!) and I love how much effort is put into the actual Duelling, the relationship between creature and human and also the ramifications of Duelling from both sides. Plus all the monster clashes are just so good.

I never thought a show like this could be so thought out, intelligent and thought provoking, while also providing genuine tension and stakes with enough to please both kids and adults in the audience. I honestly think Kaijudo is my new favourite cartoon.

Knockout was the best part of the TF: Prime finale.

I laughed :lol

Thank you for reminding me I need to download and watch the last 3 episodes.

Anyone been watching Beware the Batman? It's good, too bad it only has D-list villains. The action sequences are great and I like the amount of grittiness it has at times.

I've only seen the first two episodes but I'm digging it, feels like a solid throwback to TAS while still being firmly its own series. Not a fan of the animation but then Green Lanterns grew on me so maybe this will as well.

That's another show I need to check out and catch up on, I'm so behind on everything right now :(

Did anyone else find it jarring when Batman came out in the open to fight those two "artists" in the third episode?

I thought the newest Beware episode was the weakest, Anarchy was rubbish with none of that twisted nature or hidden depth that made our first two Rogues so fascinating. And without an interesting villain it just made you notice how horribly this is animated. I'm hoping this is a rare misstep and not the shape of the series to come.

It started? Meh. Since they cancelled Young Justice I haven't been caring enough to check CN for much of anything.

I saw an episode of the show, i liked it but the animation style is still bugging me.

I dig the animation style, the designs however are not all there. Anarky looks great in Arkham Origins, in this show however he looks really dumb. Batman is super skinny for not being Batman Beyond as well. His costume is kinda bland in general.

Kinda torn about that. It's good that they're switching things up, but it doesn't feel like a batman show without Joker, Riddler ETC.

Still, they're doing a MUCH better job of doing an inexperienced Bruce Wayne then the Batman could hope to accomplish.

Don't be mean to The Batman, it was a better show than most people will give it credit for. It's not TAS but it was still solid. I really enjoyed all the character designs in The Batman, they were very unique and fresh.

True, but it was still a very disjointed show and could never decide what it wanted to be, and which crowds it was trying to please.

I've gone into length about The Batman multiple times in this thread, so I'll avoid repeating myself again.

In terms of Batman shows, I'd probably say Beyond > TAS > The Batman > Brave and The Bold.

I can't hate on that list. Mine would be slightly different. TAS > Beyond > Brave and the Bold > The Batman

Awe, but Brave and the bold was a fun show!

Fun and ended before it's time. Like every other damn show on Cartoon Network, except Clone Wars for some reason.

Undeniably and I enjoyed it thoroughly but Beyond took the tone I loved from TAS and moved it into a setting and made it about things which appeal and relate to me much, much better.

The Batman may have been weaker as a story, but it was just so damn original and visually striking that I think in many ways this show actually holds up the best out of any of them.

But all Brave and The Bold was, was fun. It didn't push the boundaries of kids entertainment (unless we include that Birds of Prey song), it didn't take Batman in some brave new direction (excuse the pun), unless you wanna commend the series for basically blending JLU with camp Batman rather than modern gritty Batman or really have anything to it that gives it lasting appeal, beyond maybe making the campy Batman of old bearable unlike the near unreadable comics it was inspired by.

True, but at least they ended it on a high note, and not setting up a god damned fourth season we'll never see.

I hate Cartoon Network .-.

So episode 3 of Beware.

Man I'm loving this show and how competent the villains are. Anarchy might not be the Joker, but he presents a threat that I can take seriously all the same.
