    I wouldn't mind picking up one of the Violator figures. To me that works pretty good in Kubricks form. The rest I'll pass on, I'm not a Kubricks fan, I only have two: Apocalypse & Juggernaut.

    Transformers movie!

    On a side rant, wtf is up with the companies not letting them use their vehicle? VW won't let them use the "bug" design for Bumblebee, instead they have to go with a different convertible design (Chevy Camaro). Did the same thing happen to Optimus, did Mack not let them use their truck so they went with a Peterbilt design instead? :huh: From what I've heard Megatron's going to be a tank. I'm just waiting for them to announce that Soundwave will be an iPod :rolleyes:

    Timm has some comments on how things came to be on the Kids WB in the World's Finest Part 1 commentary. Kids WB approached them about streamlining BTAS and bringing to to their network. So I don't think BTAS was cancelled, as the contract was probable up with Fox and moved over to KWB.

    Good to see I'm not the only one that watches those extras :D

    I forgot to put that they switched networks :P Not sure on the specs with the contract with Fox but The WB was just getting started and they wanted Bats/Sups on their own new kid's network and not a rival network (and because WB holds the license for the two superheroes). B:TAS finished up in Sept '95, Timm and crew had been getting Superman:TAS ready and it started in Sept '96 on Kid's WB. Batman went thru some re-tooling during the time of S:TAS, specifically WB wanted the show to appeal to a younger age-range. So they tweaked some of the characters (new younger Robin), brought in some anime artist to help with a new-fresh-hip look, did more action/fighting scenes (less intricate plots, lol :rolleyes:). Then in 1997 after the "World's Finest" episodes, Batman returned as Batman:The New Batman Adventures (also called Batman Gotham Knights). And episodes of Superman:TAS were broadcast alongside episodes of Batman Gotham Knights and reruns of Batman: the Animated Series under the title The New Batman/Superman Adventures which ran till the first part of 2000. WB was still wanting a younger-hipper audience and Batman Beyond came about in 1999 and finished it's run on Kid's WB at the end of 2001.

    Cartoon Network got the syndication rights to air reruns of Batman:TAS. I can't remember if they got the syndication rights to S:TAS, B:TNBA and Batman Beyond as well; I think they did after how well B:TAS did and how much it help Toonami's ratings. They later signed up Timm's crew to create Justice League which started on Cartoon Network in 2001.

    You can look at it like B:TAS was cancelled in '95, B:TNBA & S:TAS was cancelled in '00, Batman Beyond was cancelled in '01 and JLU was cancelled in '06 or, as Timm says in most all of his interviews, that his animated world ran for 14 years straight. It's all a matter of how you word it ;)

    Donster, you're missing the most obvious example of all.

    Batman TAS was cancelled after 3 seasons and came back 2 years later to do a fourth. :D

    Ah, not exactly cancelled. Batman:TAS ran for 3 seasons, then Superman:TAS started the next season and ran for two seasons until the "World Finest" episode/movie ran. Then Batman:TNBA started back up and both Bats and Sups were on together with the "Batman/Superman Adventures" (they alternated between S:TAS and B:TNBA episodes). So it was never really cancelled, it was just that Batman & Superman were considered combined projects that all together ran from 1992-2000. Batman Beyond started in 1999 and ran till 2001, then Jutice League started later in 2001 and ran till this year. Not too bad for an animated world to run from '92 till '06, plus with the two spin-offs of The Zeta Project and Static Shock :D

    but I'll be cruising around the con trying to take in a second year of this. So if you see a bald guy with a Batman bag(Lurch pull out the pic) and a pretty red head, come up and introduce yourself.

    You know you love this picture :P
