Hear that? That's my soul screaming.

Post by Stretch_Dude » Mon Dec 12, 2005 11:24 pm

Who here A) likes "Teen Titans;" B) hates "Smallville;" and C) hates "The Batman"?

If you said yes to all three, guess what? Warner Bros. hates you.

"Teen Titans" has been cancelled, Cyborg's appearing on "Smallville," and "The Batman" gets Robin. Considering the WB's past with the Bat-Embargo* and Aqua-Embargo**, I doubt this is a coincidence. >:(

* "Justice League Unlimited" being forbidden to use Batman's villains and supporting cast because of "The Batman"
** "JLU" being forbidden to use any Aquaman characters because of Aquaman's appearance on "Smallville" and his subsequent spinoff

Whuzza..?

I heard about Teen Titans being cancelled... Which makes no sense, seeing as it's supposed to be pretty popular, and they even have a line of toys out.. (I really only catch about 20 minutes of it before leaving for the bus some mornings, so I'm not too familiar with it)

But... How does Cyborg fit in with Smallville..? This is that liveaction "family channel" Superman you're referring to, right? O_o; That... makes no sense whatsoever.
Wuzzuh? You mean she frequents the Pit?

Which is why so many people, myself included, are extremely pissed off.

I "tolerate" The Batman, but I don't go out of my way to watch it.

This news saddens me.  Especially Cyborg in Smallsville.  I... wha...  How would they even do that?!

Jeez, and Teen Titans did a lot to improve Robin's credibility in my opinion. If The Batman is set in the Batman Begins canon, then I think Robin SHOULD NOT be in it. Cyborg in Smallville is an extremely odd choice.
Before continuing, it may be in your best interest, dear reader, to stop and ponder this. Picture it in your mind's eye. An evil one-eyed midget named Cheatum swam across the Gulf of Mexico wearing a shark fin on his back and then planted a bomb on a boat. Think about that. Let that sink in. Now. Wouldn't you want to buy a wrestling show after seeing this?

The Batman is set in its own canon as far as I know.

It is, though it would be better if it didn't exist in the first place. Not a good show, that is.
