And in happier news, Zoinks!

The latest SMRT-TV is out, featuring my first Zoinks! of the new season! Watch me hate on two out of three new WB shows!

(FYI, SMRT-TV has switched to alternating bi-weekly columns, so Zoinks! will appear every month, which will make me a little less stressed, deadline-wise).

I miss Batman Beyond. :(

Terry has crossed over with Static Shock once, and with JLU twice. In fact, last year's season finale of JLU was, as far as I'm concerned, really the series finale of Batman Beyond.

Haven't watched JLU and don't have a TV to do so now. Just miss batman beyond. Actually, I miss Xmen Evolution too.

Yes, with them canceling the live action BB, and with Neal Stephenson on board!, we probably won't be getting much more Terry or old Bruce.

An excellently written review.

I felt much the same about the first two shows, and the poor animation stopped me from ever getting to Johnny Test.

The WB keeps shooting themselves in the head with their programming choices.

And I'm worried that their only good show -- The Batman -- will end up focusing too much on Batgirl (what makes the new Bats stand out is that he's basically a solo hero -- the JLU one gives us the Bats who has other heroes around). Although I'm genuinely intrigued by the new Poison Ivy concept.

Hmm, I may have to tape The Batman, and see how it is going.

Season 1 reruns air on weekdays on most WB stations, too.

Season 1 had a surprisingly strong arc, leading to the origin of Clayface, that's well worth following. It also features one of the best intepretations of The Riddler (voiced by Robert Englund).
