The summer's biggest movie stars, Batman and Iron Man launch new animated shows this fall. Here's a roundup of recent news bits about the shows:
Newsarama chats with Michael Jelenic, series editor and producer of 'Batman: The Brave and the Bold' who talks about creating athe fun new take on everyone's favorite Dark Knight Detective. Here's an excerpt:
NRAMA: Batman is still the Dark Knight, the World’s Greatest Detective, right?
MJ: He’s Batman. Everything you know about Batman is still true. He’s not going to be a loner so much, but all the other things that make him Batman are still there.
NRAMA: But the essence of the comic book was team ups.
MJ: What we also thought is let’s take him out of Gotham. Team him up with different people. That’s what a lot of the last two seasons of The Batman were about. Now if we just wanted to do team ups, we probably would be doing the same stories.

Thanks to Jim Harvey for the submission.
Looking forward to both. Batman's review this past week sounded pretty good and the clip looked just as good. Family friendly yes but far from the goofyness of Superfriends IMO.
Why do the Canucks get first shot at these shows
I did some searching and found that they have Batman listed, in several sites, to show on Nov. 14th at 7:30 on a Friday. Iron Man will be on Nickelodeon in early 2009.
I'm looking forward to the Iron Man series but the Batman series . . . . . I'll have to wait and see. So far it sounds kind of like Superfriends, which wasn't that bad- when I was 10.
