Batman and Superman to be on Saturday Night block

[Killtacular]

Batman and Superman will be from 2 am to 3 am as part of the Saturday Night block, starting on the 23rd of February..

Batman will also air at 7:30 PM on Sundays.

[The Penguin]

I'd say something but I have to go do a happy dance! :D

[Batman 80]

Excellent.

[James Harvey]

Although I wish Superman was on at a different time, it's cool to see it back on the air. I like how CN is putting alot more action shows on the network now. I very welcome change...

[Cyclops]

Any idea as to what episode they're starting from? :confused:

[James Harvey]

Likely from episode #1. Batman Beyond is kicking off with "Rebirth" in it's new Saturday 10pm slot. It's likely that Batman and Superman will do the same.

[The Game]

7:30 on Sunday? That really sucks, I wish they went with the originally planned 11:00 time slot.

[Poison Carley]

Remember when it was supposed to return this summer? Oh how about this month? I'll beleive it when I see it. Like why would Batman Beyond get a better time slot? Well Saturday at 10 PM isn't like that great I guess. 2 would be better just getting home drunk. :)

Are they two different Batman episodes or are they going to repeat the same one, like they do with JL?

[Killtacular]

Sundays are all TBA. I guess they're jumbling the order up for that slot.

[Cassandra]

All right!
Man, if this is just something that fizzles out (like the last time it was supposed to air) I'll just cry! :(

[The Penguin]

Ok, so the Saturday night Batman will probably start with #1.
So does the Sunday evening one go with #2 or is it completely different? :confused:
If I'm gonna start a tape I'll need to get this figured out.

I'm really digging this Saturday night block on CN, since it's like an action version of Adult Swim. I think it'd be cool if they played ROTJ uncut on that as a special treat. Also, if it were ever possible, wouldn't it be cool if the BTAS/STAS/TNBA team went back and did a more mature Batman show? I think it'd rule.

[James Harvey]

I'm guessing they'll be starting from the first episode for all those Saturday series, except for Justice League. I think this is just a great move for Cartoon Network. I realy like how they cut back a bit on Scooby. Thought if you read the newspage - you'd see that more Scooby is coming....

[Tim Drake]

finally I can finish taping Superman and Batman!!

[Killtacular]

Scooby's new arrival is only in the same place it's always been, noon on weekdays, and during late night weekdays. There will be a Scooby cartoon o-lio in Feb, but that's about it.

WA-HOO! The withdrawl systems were starting to get to me. I think 3 of the voices cleared out. :D

I getting really ticked off with CN's "it's gonna be on, gonna be on, gonna be on, oops, not gonna be on, push it back another month or 5." I certainly hope they don't put us through this again.

Hey, now... I just noticed something. Sunday night, out in my hometown of Nowhere, JL was on at 8:30...Bats is going to be on at 7:30...if they plop Supes between them (sorry, Samauri Jack fans), and tack BB at the end, we got ourselves a two-hour Bats/Supes block in "possible future" chronological order.

NICE. :)

Just an idea. Very convenient for most pre-college scholars.

Peace and Rock 'n' Roll
The Guitar Slayer :cool:

gRRRRR......do not threaten the great Samauri Jack!!!!Sorry, man, except for a few gems here and there, I wasn't all that impressed with the Superman cartoon. Of course "The Late Mr. Kent" was great, but in comparison, I'd rather have Jack, thanks!

Now that would be nice. Who knows, maybe CN will do that someday in the near future. I think it'd be a great idea to do something along those lines. It's also be nice for them to do it in that order. A little "progression" sorta theme. And Sundays would be a good time.

[The Penguin]

I agree that it sounds like a good idea. They could even put on "Jack" after the two hours is over. :)

[James Harvey]

I'd really like to see this WB theme block. Heck, after ZETA and STATIC run there course on KWB, they could come over to CN and have a 4 hour block of nothing but these shows. It'd be awesome!!

[DerekPowers]

this reminds me of the saturday night midnight run from like 2 years ago. anyone remember that, all toonami all night? but this is way better!!!! YESS, CN really came through with this one, no wonder its my favorite network! peace.

[James Harvey]

I rememebr that block for two reasons:

It had Voltron and ThunderCats. Two of the best 80s show back on TV! Midnight Run was awesome, and this is a great successor to it. CN has really gone the whole nine yards with this.

[Livewire]

I would be REALLY, SUPER, HUGELY happy if Superman were on at a better time. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to tape the ones I don't have with commercials.(That stinks! :( )

[Caped Crusader]

Why does does CN give Batman and Superman these odd timeslots?!! Who's going to be watching them at that time?! I know one way they can make more time for them...STOP SHOWING SO MUCH OF THAT DBZ JUNK!!! I guess I can't complain to much though,at least their airing Batman at 7:30 on Sundays,but you'd think they would have some better time for S:TAS.

[Sugar Daddy]

This has been asked before, but i see no clear answer, so lets say the saturday ep is batman episode #1. will the sunday ep be batman episode #2 or a repeat of #1?

The schedule says "TBA" and the second Saturday lists "Christmas with The Joker" which is episode #2 so I'm guessing it will either be a repeat or random episodes in no particular order.

Wouldn't it be cool if Sunday was used for TNBA? I could get behind that.

[Sugar Daddy]

this is going to be interesting to get on tape

[The Penguin]

I know. I did the Bat-math and if you keep the commericals in it would take seven 8-hour video tapes and then you'd have one episode left. :eek:

109 half-hour episodes divided by 2 is 54.5 hours. Now that's a lotta Batman :D

No. The Sunday episodes are starting from scratch. When the hsow first airs on Febuary 10th, it will be episode #1, followed by episode #2 the next week. The Saturday slot will likely be random episodes, though, given the late night slot.
