The fallout from Waynetech/The Wayne Foundation being seized and dismantled and caught in miles of red tape due to the association with a known vigilante would be fun, as would the way Dick and Tim's lives would be ruined.

Why are so many newer cartoons using the 11-13 minute story standard? Is it a data-driven thing, with actual metrics indicating target audiences prefer it to full half-hour episodes? Is everyone just aping a couple of successful shows that used that format early on? Is it easier/more enjoyable for the creative talent? For the technical workflow stuff (e.g. getting more episodes fully produced more quickly)? I have no complaints about it, but I don't understand if it's just a style trend, or a response to actual real feedback/research.

It's probably data driven with regards to kid's attention spans. It also let's them spread a normal half hour's worth of content over 2 days instead of 1. Some shows will do double new episodes, but usually it is one new and one repeat if they double up at all. And if you do this once a week you can either have a normal season of material last longer than normal, or you can cut the content down but keep the season length generally the same.

There was a near-constant stream of new Adventure Time episodes every week for well over a year because by just showing 11 minutes a week, you could effectively double the amount of time a show was on the air. Also it meant the other show paired with it in that timeslot got viewership too, whether it was Regular Show or Gumball or whatever.

Makes me wonder, when was the 11-minute format first invented? Stuff from Nick's launch in '91 was in that format, like Rugrats, and they continues to pump out a lot, I want to say that's when the format caught on and the then current and upcoming animation channels started ordering stuff in that format.

There's also something to be said on an artistic level for shorter runtimes necessitating less filler and tighter boarding/writing. A lot of older kids' cartoons just had nothing to say for 21 minutes, but ran to the time because that was how long they had to be.

Kind of puts to light how Animaniacs was basically an animated variety show. Something like The Centurions, though, has to have the requisite Danger Scene with the leads once or twice to pad the run time.

Three Shorts (ABA) has been used extensively all over. Two Shorts (or AB) was mostly just Nickelodeon (Doug, Spongebob, and Rugrats) and then later Cartoon Network. Also, 80's My Little Pony 'n' Friends did it, because it rotated the second half between several different "'n' Friends" shows.

I remember watching Garfield as a child in that reluctant "no other cartoons are on" way that I put up with so many bad shows. Why couldn't everything be Darkwing Duck?

Even if they screw up showing the joker stache, the most important thing is to censor this like something from the 60s as far as language goes. That would be above and beyond DC, but it'd be the most impressive thing they could pull if they avoided any swears.

While some of the lines mooks have in the Arkham games are loving garbage and uninspired, especially the ones they yell during combat. (IT'S THE FREAKIN BAT!!), a ton of the incidental conversations they have among themselves are amazing. Except the ones where they talk about how bad they wanna rape (insert any of the female characters here). It helps that most of it is Joe DiMaggio talking to another Joe DiMaggio.

"First Arkham Asylum... Then Arkham City... What's next, Arkham WORLD?!" I was always kind of disappointed they didn't make any comments about that time Batman wore his goofy purple gloves. Or how about the time he had rubber bat-nipples. Ooh or how about the fabric cowl with the purple painted-on bat eyebrows!!! FilthyImp fucked around with this message at 06:21 on Sep 18, 2016 |

I guess Ultimate Spider-Man is done, so they are rebooting it again with a new series based on the adventures of a young Peter Parker called Marvel's Spider-Man.

Specifically, Ultimate Spider-man will be done in early January with a two parter called "Graduation Day" and then (probably on August or something after the movie comes out) we get Spider-man with Kevin Shinick as story editor. Cautiously optimistic. Also USM did a round 2 at Spider-verse and that was fun, did a re-imagining of Spider-Gwen where she's from Miles' universe since he spent most of the season with Peter.

I really wonder if this is going to be like the "start" of a new animated universe like Ultimate was or if it'll be its own thing or if the Avengers Assemble are just going to pretend they have never, ever met Spider-man before in their lives. The current animated universe is simply bad, there's nothing that makes it unique and their unified art style is trash, so I kinda hope this breaks from it and, just, something good comes out. I wanna see a Spider-man cartoon and fully enjoy it instead of going "well, that was neat, it was an acceptable action cartoon I cannot really talk about much online because who the gently caress else is going to give it a shot after two seasons of trash and one of being kinda okay in some episodes" I'm guessing Man of Action won't be involved since they're handling the new Ben 10 cartoon. Also Hulk: Where Monsters Dwell is a thing. Magic adventure with Doctor Strange, Hulk and Banner are separated and all that. CBR posted:Dan Slott, who is working on the series, was then brought up on stage. Lane and Wacker said the show will “pull a lot from Dan’s run” on Spider-Man.
