Howdy,

Toon Zone News has just discovered that, in response to widespread fan dissatisfaction, Warner Bros. animation has hired superstar writer Frank Miller to rescript select episodes of their animated show The Batman (http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&ned=us&q=frank+miller+batman&btnG=Search+News). They have sent over a sample from the first episode's reworking:


BATMAN: Alfred. The Batmobile is ready?

ALFRED: Quite so, sir. And you may find THIS device useful.

BATMAN: New batarang?

ALFRED: No, no sir -- far more useful. It is called a Batwave. Because you should never leave your Bat-CAVE without your Bat-WAVE.

(BATMAN stares at ALFRED for a moment, and then launches himself at him with a roar to beat him up mercilessly.)

BATMAN: RAAAAARRRR!!!!!

SFX: WHUDD!! WHUDD!! WHAK!!! WHUDD!!!! SMAK!! KRAK!!!! WHUDD!!!

BATMAN: (V.O.) I keep on him until the sounds are wet. Nobody puns on my damn show.

Other rumored plot changes involve re-introducing Detective Yin in a scene where she prances around in her underwear for the first 5 minutes of the episode and changing Mr. Freeze to be a former prostitute.

You heard it here first, true believers!

I'd totally buy the DVD.

Choosing Streaky rather than Ace? That's smooth.
