Rhinox's new Classics toy looks so good! If he and Waspernator sell well maybe we'll get more Beast Wars Classics. Cheetor in particular needs a re-do.

If Cosmos gets a re-do then so does Cheetor. Also if Hasbro's game for it a new TM2 Megatron would be aces as well.

At their tradeshow this weekend, Disney has confirmed there are no hand-animation projects in the works.

I'll be immensely disappointed if the old art style is really gone. There's very few formats as enriching and entertaining as classic Disney animation.

R.i.p traditional Disney animation.
Now for the funeral music.

Started Tron Uprising again never finished it while it was on air. Man I forgot how much I love this show I also started batman the brave and the bold as well man this show is good.

Well...they are still hand drawn, on tablets, but yeah. You never know though, they could have something in a few years.

It also doesn't surprise me that the new Star Wars show is CG. Clone Wars was.

Watched the trailers for Wander over Yander.

This artstyle seems familiar.
>Craig Mc Cracken.
Oh this gun be good.
>Lauren Faust.
This is gonna be milked for all it's worth isn't it? Wel l it is Disney, they'll put a rock on sale and they'll still make money.

Watching Brave and the Bold over on Netflix. I'm kind of disappointed that it only has up to half of season 2, but eh.
I love the Joe Chill episode with the Spectre.

Love me some Spectre.

I love the morality aspect it plays, despite being a kid's show. Spectre is awesome.

He was excellent in Kingdom Come, and he had a feature in Shazam and Superman: Return of Black Adam animated feature. Also on Netflix!

From what I've been told, Kingdom Come was all around awesome.
And I really need to watch that.

You really do.

Watched Flashpoint Paradox. Pretty decent DC animated movie but in some place i just ask myself why would they do that. Also since they made this movie does that mean that they are going to use the new 52 looks for their next movies?

I'll say yes to that. Although I have mixed feelings about the New 52 as a whole DC knows how to do a animated feature. I'm personally hoping they've learned from their mistakes and will iron out some of the winkles in the overall story for JL:War.

The only real problem I had with Flashpoint as an animated movie was that it made certain characters so one note and pointless that their inclusion was just padding (Notably, Hal Jordan in the alt. universe).

I'm interested in War, but I just hope they get the time to tell the story.

One, love the sig. Two, I hope so. I love the New 52 Universe. Except where they made almost every major female character into a hormone driven slut who's only desire is to bend over for anything with a pulse.

I didn't know DC hired Frank Miller to write for every woman in the New 52.

Apparently they did (Also nice one /)(\ ). Catwoman, Wonder Woman, Starfire (But in fairness she wasn't that chaste before the jump), every major female character in DC Comics as become this charactiture (I hope I spelled that right) of a hormone driven slut-monkey.

Catwoman is the worst offender. She near date-raped Batman for Christ's Sake. I miss Knights End 90's Purple Suit Catwoman. The strong independant woman who didn't need anyone. This new one they seem to be putting into every fiction (Arkham City/DC Universe Online)? Yea.. She can die now.

Not every character... I think Barbara Gordon turned out alright. I wouldn't know, though, since I haven't read anything from the New 52 other than the first few Action Comics.

This is what happens when fans grow up and write for their favorite characters.

Frank Miller is the worst offender and easily the best example. He sees his childhood crush as the "Epitome of beauty," thus turning her into a stripper with superpowers. He sees his favorite hero as the "Epitome of awesome," making them infallible titans, and, because they're his favorite, they insert themselves into the shoes of the hero, thus they make their boyhood crush bend ass over backwards to bed the hero.
It's clear that when Frank writes Batman, this is EXACTLY how he views it, allowing himself to live vicariously through the ultra badass who women are tossing their panties at.

I'd love to see characters return to their stronger days, when their being an independent woman didn't mean they were secretly craving a strong man to bed them. :I

As for Barbara, I was never a big Batgirl fan, but from what I've been told by other comic readers, they actually found her to be a better character as Oracle and found others like Stephanie to be better under the Batgirl mantle.

She did. As did Batwoman, Katana, Black Canary, Huntress, Power Girl, Supergirl and probably a bunch of others I don't read.

"Every major female character in DC Comics" is a massive exaggeration.

>Power Girl
I'm not a big DC comics reader, but don't even try to lie with that. Isn't her entire gimmick that her breasts are drawn larger with every appearance? :lol

This, all of this.

Really now. Power Girl is your example? The woman who is, and always been, a walking sexjoke? In the comics she's already held Snow Globes in front of her chest, water melons, and two basketballs. (No really, basketballs). I'll give you the rest, but Power Girl? No, she's always been a joke.

Yes it is. You should see her picture on the DCUOnline loading page. It's like she's trying to steal basketballs in her one-piece.

So, have you ever actually READ a Power Girl comic in your life? I suggest picking one up before completely judging a book by its cover.

The boob thing is constantly treated as massive tongue-in-cheek joke. It hasn't even COME UP writingwise in the New 52, so if anything it's been toned down. The character herself is an incredibly intelligent woman who's the head of her own company. So a considerably stronger written character than Catwoman has EVER been as far as I'm concerned. So yeah, she's not the "hormone driven slut-monkey" you're making every DC character out to be.

Doesnt make it any less right. You can make a strong female character without being built like something from a Miller WetDream.

Again, tongue-in-cheek jokes. Just because readers slobber over it doesn't mean the quality of her stories are dominated by it.

I know this isn't what you're discussing but I need to step in to this from another angle. I HATE this argument, I'm sorry but I do. Every male in the DC universe is gorgeous, he is ripped as fuck, parades around in a skin tight outfit, he is usually charismatic, heroic, moral paladin, has a fantastic job or career, his faults are usually he cares too much or wants to save everyone. It may not be as deliberately sexualised (but that is largely because comic writers still seem to be under the assumption that the majority of readers are males) but they are still fantasy figures, they are still exploited and made into an unrealistic perfection that no man can ever imitate. I don't understand why people complain so much about Power Girl's boob window, which was a joke WAY before New 52 when... all the men are just as bad and not played as a joke at all, because for some reason no one cares when it is done to men.

Hal Jordan annoyed me, not just because he was pointless, but as a HUGE GL fan I was disappointed that his story was so brief because it was so fascinating. What a cool concept, Hal Jordan, ace pilot - DOESN'T get the Ring but instead gets the alien spaceship instead. That could be a whole story in itself, here it was barely a blip.

Agreed

Power Girl is geniunely fun and interesting character on her own, and she has also had some really good books and stories.

The boob thing is only a running gag, not her defining character trait.

Beware the Batman Episode 4 has one of favrioute moments of the series:

Batman: Computer, last known location of Humpty Dumpty
Computer: A wall

Batman totally got sassed by his own computer.:lol

That's the first episode of the show i watched completely, every other time something happened that made me stop watching. I liked it

Wow Beware 5 was bad.

I dunno what was more dumb in this episode 'Humphrey Dumpler', the laser guns suddenly appearing after bullets were used in all the other episodes, or Gordon taking unknown cell calls next to a bomb he has yet to know what is detonated by.

Why are any of these things a problem, you may ask? Well we're supposed to think Batman is this real weirdo, in his costume fighting criminals and we're supposed to think it's so crazy that these statues are turning up but apparently a normal day in Gotham is for it never be daytime, for the streets to be permanently devoid of life, for people to wander around with laser guns and for people to be born there looking like fairytale characters, honestly Batman may well be the most normal thing in this show.

The other problem is the tone of the show is all over the map, guns are a no no apparently but you can rip someone's soul out on screen, commit suicide, strap people to bombs, have Batman reading about murdered women. Etc etc

The action scenes are certainly getting better, but the gangly limbs still make everything look worryingly clunky, and I dunno, the aim for the head and hope no one is inside didn't feel very Batman like - nor did using the guns.

"Never sneak up on an old spy while he's making a sandwich."

The Batman's Alfred sassed the shit out of Bruce every episode.

Still not sure how I feel about RWBY. If anything I wish the episodes were longer to be able to form more of an opinion on the characters before it suddenly cutting out. I guess what I dislike the most is how terribly cliché it is that Ruby and Weiss don't get along for now.

Jaune's future team is what's interesting me the most right now.

I do love all of the weapons they came up with though.

It's so weaboo generic that I can't even enjoy the action.

Yeah... Yeah that's what I was thinking. Just couldn't think of a better way to put it.

You know, I want to see a cartoon based on Batman, Incorporated. Every episode could focus on one Batman/Batgirl/Batwoman/Batboy operating in their assigned country, with a crossover happening during a worldwide crisis. I want this mainly because of Nightrunner.

That sounds good, they could make it a web-series or something like that.

ONLY if Stephanie Brown gets a supporting role. That girl deserves more respect.

Add Cassandra Cain and you've got a deal.
