Cartoon news

As we mentioned in a previous post, there's a rumor going around that Warner Brothers is actively developing a new Batman animated series. We didn't post about the subsequent rumors that it was going to be called Batman Wired, telling stories in an alternate universe that focused on a very young Batman and his use of high-tech gadgets, because it sounded horrible and a blatant excuse to create toys with lots of accessories.

Fortunately, if the rumors are to be believed this time around, the Batman Wired concept has been scrapped, to be replaced by a show simply called The Batman, which sounds like it has more of a Legends of the Dark Knight kind of feel. Whew!

Meanwhile, MTV (in part due to the success of its Spider-Man cartoon) has ordered up an animated series based on Blade. Marvel's keeping its dance card full, though - they've got a long list of projects in development.
