Cartoon Network in 2004 Looks like they have a lot of neat stuff in the works for 2004, here are two items I'm the most interested in:Justice League Unlimited The heroes of the Justice League return in August with a new series, Justice League Unlimited, which incorporates a bold new look and a much larger scope. Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman and Green Lantern continue to lead the universe’s most powerful superheroes in an effort to stop criminal plots and alien threats that endanger the universe. Now, in Justice League Unlimited, they are joined by an even greater collection of heroes some of whom are well-known, like Supergirl, Green Arrow and the Atom, as well as some that are less familiar, like Booster Gold, Hawk & Dove, Elongated Man, The Question, Mister Miracle, Big Barda and Zatanna. Each half-hour will tell a power-packed story, combining some of the original heroes with new ones as they band together to battle alien invasions, powerful sorcerers, vast shadowy conspiracies and even ancient gods. They're dropping Flash, Hawkgirl, and Martian Manhunter - but were gaining a whole bunch of new heroes. I particularly interested in seeing how they handle The Question, a character I find fasinating and who has never been animated before. The episodes will be 30 minute self-contained stories. Which will be a nice change from the two-parters they did for the first two seasons. Curious to see how this turns out. The Venture Brothers Dimwitted brothers Hank and Dean Venture, their scientist father and his bodyguard, Brock, live on a spacious ranch with a high-tech laboratory. Their adventures take them to exotic locales around the world, from the deepest, darkest rainforests to the most dangerous urban jungles. It’s a dangerous world out there – full of zombie mummies, crazed alligators, street toughs and peculiar super-villains with a score to settle. The Venture Brothers will premiere on Sunday, August 1. I saw a sneak peak episode of this about a year ago and it almost made me wet my pants. Extremely funny. It's a complete send-up of the old Johnny Quest cartoons. I can't wait for it to premiere on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim. Plus, we'll finally get new episodes of Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law and Sealab 2021, which fight for the title of second funniest show on Adult Swim after The Venture Brothers. IMHO. posted by Brendan | 3:03 PM | permanent link |
