I'm just curious of what the consensus is on "Young Justice" since it started back up. Everything from characterization to continuity is always tight whenever Greg Weisman is involved. Personally, I like the cameos (like Bette Kane and Barbera Gordon in "Home Front") they manage to sneak into most episodes... and Aquaman has a beard in this one too. Take note DC.

Come and read some Thoughts of a Platypus

Love it. They might be trying to bring Teen Titans in the comics close to this one. I also love the characterization.

New details on upcoming DC Comics-related animation programming, including details on the next animated Batman series Beware the Batman, have been revealed.

Sam Register confirmed the title of the next animated Batman series, due in 2013. Register, executive vice president for creative affairs at Warner Bros. Animation, closed the MIP Junior conference in Cannes, France on Sunday, October 2nd, 2011, with a keynote address on upcoming Warner Bros. Animation plans. MIP Junior is an intensive two-day conference agenda of debates, interactive workshops, pitching and matchmaking sessions that update executives and consumers on the latest developments in kids’ entertainment. With a new Batman theatrical feature slated for next year, Register says it was synergy to bring about a new Batman animated series.

The next Batman animated series, debuting in 2013, is titled Beware the Batman. According to Register, the CGI animated series will spotlight a classic-looking Batman teaming up with a gun-toting Alfred Pennyworth and a female ninja sidekick. Beware the Batman is executive-produced by Glen Murakami, and will explore the mythology’s more obscure villains, such as Professor Pyg, but also won't shy away from featuring some of the more well-known Batman foes. In the series, Batman will team up with a younger female sidekick named Katana. During the keynote, Register added that Katana will fill the sidekick role, but won't be a replacement for Robin.

Register also revealed new details about the forthcoming DC Nation block during his keynote address. Highlights include Aardman Animation creating new claymation Batman shorts, Plastic Man animated shorts, and the creator behind My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic working on a series of animated shorts teaming Wonder Girl, Batgirl, Supergirl called Super Best Friends Forever. Additionally, there is also a series of Doom Patrol animated shorts in production. The block will also host a series of behind-the-scenes videos, special interviews, and much more. DC Nation, slated to run for at least three years on Cartoon Network, will debut in Spring 2012 with Young Justice and Green Lantern: The Animated Series.

So this will be like Brave and the Bold? Cheesy and Kid-Friendly? (though it has gotten more mature with it's content as it went on)

Personally, I'm much more interested in that Green Lantern Animated Series.

Um, no.

(and thats ignoring the ninja sidekick)

All seems to lean toward another campy series. Or one that goes with the "batman doesnt care about guns" from the really older comics.

Oh God Bat baby.

Not quite feelin' up to another light or campy series.

We had The Batman which was Batman "light", (and got lighter in the later seasons) and B:TBaTB its time to make another just regular Batman take. Yknow, serious.

Although TBH, Theres so MUCH Batman. what about a Superman series? I understand everyone loves Batman, but some other Heroes (even the main ones) could use shows too.

I'm not the hugest fan of CGI animation, but we shall see with the new Batman series.

Everything else has me a lot more excited though.

Word. I love Flash.

I FINALLY got around to seeing Emerald Knights. I absolutely loved it. I liked how it was basically a collection of backstories for different Lanterns.

Jason Isaacs as Sinestro was absolutely glorious.

Mogo as usual, always knows how to be awesome.  I still always wonder how big his battery must be. Although given his size, im gonna guess he IS his own power battery. His planet exterior is the shell, and his core is well, a green energy core.

Arisa was also uber adorable. I liked the backstory behind the guy who trained Kilowog.

There were references and nods to known characters up the wazoo, I spotted a dozen Lanterns I recognized, and even Atrocitus payed a visit. Along with his prophecies. Even Blackest Night was referenced, ("So I guess this is the Blackest Night everyone talks about") Which makes me think how awesome an animated Blackest Night would be.

It's shown in Brave and the Bold. He's also the main ring distributor, so he has more power than a typical GL.

Anyone that size is gonna have more juice than the standard GL.

Size never matters when it comes to a GL. Only Willpower. Mogo's partner was Bzzd, an alien insect the size of a fly. He defeated the alien despot Mongul singlehandedly. Mongul, a guy who bested Superman and the entire Justice League in battle once.

Mogo's just crazy powerful because his planetary omniscience turns him into sort of a Gaia conscience, giving him amazing willpower. He mostly doesn't even USE his ring for anything, just the powers he already has.

New Batman looks weird. Though I am interested in the whole, seeing some obscure villains thing. Though still, not sure if want it.

Rest of the line-up seems good.

I like it, but the artstyle for the world around him is awful. Very, veeeeeery simplistic, it's like they're in a cubist world.

Still, the characters look like less-detailed versions of The Incredibles, and they animate pretty well...

Also, the guardians banging on the window was HILARIOUS, given what stuck-up assholes who never move from their seats they are in the comic.

Yeah I lol'd at the Guardians knocking on the window.

yeah it looks good, but there is something which feels missing. probably like you said, the environments.

Im quite surprised to see Red lanterns other than Atrocitus with any semblance of coherence, much less "questioning" the killing of anyone.

Quite honestly, I prefer the portrayal of them as vengeance-led terrorists than as beasts whose only objective is to wreak [parasitic bomb], and who can't open their mouths without spewing blood all over the place.

To use a quote from an ACTUAL Batman:

"This is the single DUMBEST plan I've ever heard."

I'll stick with "Batman: Year One" and "The Dark Knight Rises", thank you very much. You can keep that thing for yourself.

Yeah yeah, I know, not judge a book by its cover, etc, etc.

As for comics, I've been meaning to since DC did their reboot, but haven't gotten around to it yet. Besides, how many Batman titles does DC have in publication right now that got rebooted? Like, a dozen?

DC is MADE out of ideas that look incredibly stupid in paper, but more amazing than anything when you actually give them a chance.

People like Batman because he's realistic, grim and dark. But regular Batman takes out time abnormalities on a daily basis, fights alien gods and cosmic overlords, outsmarts the devil and everything, and does this more brilliantly than ten Time Lords put together. He is honestly DC's most unrealistic superhero, because his superpower is being a [tornado fang]ing mastermind God.

Also, there's:
- Batman (very good)
- Detective Comics (horrible, amazing artist tries to write but fails)
- Batman: The Dark Knight (horrible, yet another amazing artist tries to write, but again, fails)
- Batman & Robin (very good, it's an adventurous Batman with slice-of-life situations about his family and friends)

And the Bat-spinoffs:
- Nightwing (decent, Dick Grayson and his delicious ass)
- Batgirl (awful)
- Batwoman ([tornado fang]ing AMAZING, and one of the greatest artworks that ever graced a comic book)
- Batwing (very good, a Batman in Africa trying to deal with problems you would find in a troubled country)
