Warner Bros. Premieres "DC Hero Zone" Online

[James Harvey]

Warner Bros. has launched the all-new KidsWB.com (http://www.kidswb.com/) website, featuring a host of features and videos. The site also includes a section that fans of DC Animation may find interesting - DC Hero Zone (http://dcherozone.kidswb.com/).

The site features games, character bios, events, and, most importantly, complete episodes from some of the most highly acclaimed of the past decade. Series like Batman Beyond, Batman: The Animated Series, Static Shock, among others, are currently available, and many more episodes are set to be added on a regular basis in the near future.

An online exclusive Plastic Man is slated to premiere later this year on the site.

Cool. Needs to see me some Static.

[ShadowStar]

Oooh, excellent. :D

[Andrew T. Hingson]

Well this explains why none of the DC shows went to CN Video or Toonami Jetstream.

An online-exclusive Plastic Man series? Cool. Hope it isn't Flash animated.

[veemonjosh]

Woah, both Static AND Zeta.

Awesome! :D

[Toddman]

Well that (http://dcherozone.kidswb.com/secret-files) settles it. Teen Titans' Robin is officially Tim Drake (and officially Robin III at that!). I'm sure glad we can finally put this controversial issue behind us...

I hope this gives possiblity to static and zeta on dvd.

[GLKEL]

Love that they mention Hal Jordan and Barry Allen (the best Flash and GL).

That was something that was NEVER mentioned on the shows. They gave Wally Barry's origin, job, city, and never hinted that he was Kid Flash.

Same with Stewart. They never mentioned him being Hal's replacement.

So I guess Kid Flash on Teen Titans was....Bart Allen? I was really hoping it was Wally West.

[ozymandias]

looks like I was right about tim being teen titans' robin also bart allen acts a lot like wally

[Caswin]

I don't think this is really that "official." It also has things like Joker being a weak hand-to-hand combatant, when we know that isn't true.

I assumed that to because they're both voiced by the same voice actor i also assumed the show was based on the 1980's Teen Titans comic series so that means they would have used Dick as Robin too.

I know you're being sarcastic, but I felt that I had to point out that that site says the Joker is taller than Batman, which is clearly not the case.

How many episodes does that site provide access to? So far I've spotted "Two-Face part 1", "The Cat and the Claw part 1", "Be a Clown", "Child's Play", "Meltdown" and "Splicers"?

[frostedone]

That website seems to have the bios of the comic book characters mixed up with the cartoon versions.

[A.J]

Nice site!!!! Love it...yeah, its a mixed of the DCAU and comics but I dont see anything wrong with that...very cool!

Exactly, its kind of fun to make fun of it but I hope no one is actually taking it seriously.

Marvel also has a similar equivalent to this so its cool for DC to have one. Not that it matters since I already have the DVDs.

[GLKEL]

Same here. Also, wasn't there an episode set in the future with Robin as Nightwing? Wouldn't that mean that Robin WAS Dick Grayson?

And I always considered Teen Titans to be in semi continuity with The Batman, so it would make sense that Kid Flash on Teen Titans was Wally West cuz the Flash on The Batman was Barry Allen.

Not to mention that they had Speedy aka Roy Harper (there is no other Speedy that I'm aware of) appear on Teen Titans, who is the same age as Dick Grayson and Wally West, I frankly don't see how it's possible for Robin on TT to be Tim Drake. Everything that we know about him according to the show suggests that he's Dick Grayson according to the comics. Unless, of course, they're throwing us a curveball like they did with the Flash on the JL/JLU show and combining the 2; Flash on the JLU show had the name and likeness of Wally West but his origin, city, job, the fact that he was never a sidekick/Kid Flash/ the first Flash, etc were that of Barry Allen, or even like the Green Lantern on Superman TAS; he was Kyle Rayner in name and he had his job as an artist, but his appearance, origin, the enemy he fought, him being a member of the GL Corps, etc, were all Hal Jordan's. It seems like whenever there are characters that have multiple versions of themselves appearing on these shows they always tend to mix all the versions together. Weird. :sad:

[The Flash]

Very smart of Warner Brothers. Easy way for them to rehash old stock art and bring in new kids to the world of DC Comics in animation. It reminds me of the old DC Kids websites from back in the day.

[Harvey Two Face]

Oh yay! This looks linteresting, I shall investigate.

[Rick Jones]

Flash on the JLU show had the name and likeness of Wally West but his origin, city, job, the fact that he was never a sidekick/Kid Flash/ the first Flash, etc were that of Barry Allen I like that the show creators never spelled any of that stuff out so that fans could always make their own hypotheses as to character back stories.

Me personally, I'll always think of TT as being in a strange continuity with The DCAU due to the little easter eggs thrown at the fans ( Same voice actor for Flash and Kid Flash, same vo and design for Speedy on JLU and TT, the Kid Flash costume in Flash and Substance, etc).

I love that Marvel and DC are using these sites to attract kids to the funny books, especially now when some of the books made specifically for them are actually good (The DCAU related books were usually always good). And its always great to have access to the old shows.

[Raidon Makoto]

Wow, the high score system sucks. I got the overall High Score twice on Batman vs Mr Freeze and I didn't get put up.

Where do I get a half of an hour of my life back? XD

[Harvey Two Face]

This is clearly not fair, yesterday I watched Two Face pts 1 and 2, but now I'm being told on the website that video content is only available in the US, now where am I gonna get my daily fix of internet Batman?

Damn! I can't access the video section anymore either. :( Oh well, I have the DVDs.
