Robin Joins The Batman This Fall!
Superboy and Legion of Superheroes Coming to Kids WB!


FINALLY, DC's next animated project has been officially announced! It's Superboy and the Legion of Super-heroes! Look for some of your favorite Teen Titans creators to be working on that one!

KIDS' WB! ON THE CW ANNOUNCES 2006-2007 "TOO BIG FOR YOUR TV" SATURDAY MORNING PROGRAMMING SCHEDULE
Released by The CW

KIDS' WB! ON THE CW ANNOUNCES 2006-2007 "TOO BIG FOR YOUR TV" SATURDAY MORNING PROGRAMMING SCHEDULE

Current hit Kids' WB! series returning to the fall schedule include THE BATMAN, with Robin joining the Caped Crusader in his crime-fighting exploits, LOONATICS UNLEASHED, XIAOLIN SHOWDOWN, all produced by Warner Bros. Animation, and JOHNNY TEST, produced this season by Cookie Jar Entertainment Inc.

LEGION OF SUPER HEROES, 11:00-11:30 am: In the year of "Superman Returns" at Warner Bros., Kids' WB! is proud to present a new series developed especially for the "Too Big For Your TV" block by Warner Bros. Animation, inspired by the DC Comics legend. One thousand years from now, a group of teenage super heroes travel back in time to recruit the greatest hero of all, Superman, and enlist him their fight against evil in the 31st Century. While their intentions were good, their time travel skills were not, and Lightning Lad, Saturn Girl, Brainiac 5, Phantom Girl, Bouncing Boy and Timber Wolf end up going too far back into the past, accidentally retrieving the young Superboy instead. Together, this unlikely Legion of Super Heroes bands together to defend the rights of all free worlds and uphold the laws of the newly formed United Planets. That is, if they don't kill each other first. LEGION OF SUPER HEROES combines humor with high-stakes, grand-scale super heroics to create the ultimate sci-fi, super hero fantasy for kids of all ages. Each episode of this fast-paced, character-driven action comedy will pit Superboy and the Legion against otherworldly threats and adversaries who challenge the team on both super heroic and emotional levels. The series is executive produced by Sander Schwartz, and produced by Linda Steiner and James Tucker for Warner Bros. Animation. Look for some of the Teen Titans staff to be working on Legion of Superheroes!

THE BATMAN, 11:30 am-12:00 Noon: THE BATMAN features the most complex and intriguing character in comic book history in action-packed super heroic adventures, melding the renowned character's extraordinary physical prowess and super-sleuthing skills with a new range of experimental Bat-gadgets and an amped-up Batmobile. The series premiered in fall 2004 and picked up Batman's story in his mid-20s, when he's just finding his way as a protector, defender and Caped Crusader, while balancing his public persona as billionaire bachelor Bruce Wayne. In the upcoming third season, the Dark Knight continues his relentless quest to rid Gotham City of its supervillains, but he's not alone. Robin joins the team, and the fabled Dynamic Duo is also occasionally joined by Batgirl. Harley Quinn, Black Mask, Killer Moth, the Everywhere Man and a brand-new Clayface join the rogues' gallery of villains, led by the Joker, Penguin and Riddler, who ceaselessly torment Batman and Gotham City. THE BATMAN is based upon the DC Comics characters and is executive produced by Sander Schwartz and Alan Burnett for Warner Bros. Animation. Duane Capizzi and Mike Goguen serve as supervising producers, and Linda Steiner and Jeff Matsuda are producers.


So from my view of things--Good news: Killer Moth is being done for The Batman. Bad news: No Umbra/Shadow Lass.

This should be an interesting fall.

Oh. *sighs*

You know, I don't really have anything big to gripe about as far as Robin being on "The Batman," but this show isn't called "Batman and Robin". Just something for me to ponder about.

I'm not too good at keeping them straight... Which Robin would this be?

Eh, I don't watch The Batman. Oh well.

Since this is the Year "Three" Batman, I'm pretty sure it will be the Dick Grayson model since that falls under the timeline. Of course whether he'll be the Teen Titans version, is anyone's guess.

Just beware that with Robin, comes Bat-angst!

His costume is more or less identical to the Tim Drake version, though- complete with green mask and long tights. Then again our Robin was supposedly an amalgam, maybe that's what they're going for here.

Et voila.

No! What happened to the hair? Come on, it's taken me years to get used to Robin's TT look, and now they've done THIS to him?

Oh well, as long as he's on the show I'll be happy.

*dies laughing* True, true.

I'm not saying for sure that I'm going to watch this, because I'm afraid that it'll get really good and then they'll take it off the air again.

Cloaked: The Batman has improved on itself. It has been heading to niche territory for a while now.

But seeing that design, while they've kept him young, he's not proportioned properly. Barrel chest, tiny legs. I'll be surprised his legs won't collapse when he goes out to fight by his massive chest and essentially implode on himself.

Yeesh.

Edit: I suspect Murakami involved there. He does great monsters, people aren't his strong suit. Look at his Raven and Slade designs.
