Batman Beyond has been on for who knows how long. I'm getting tired of it. I wanna see good ol' Bats and Supes. I don't think I would get tired of seeing them every night at 6:30. How about you?

I wouldn't mind seeing Bats or Supes back on Toonami....that hamster show, previews alone, are really scaring me! I think the only way Bats/Supes would get back on Toonami would be for them to take BB's place, since I don't think there are any available time slots.

They are on Toonami: Toonami Rising Sun at 2 and 2:30 AM Saturdays. In fact, June 23rd is the last day Batman will air outside of Toonami. Why they don't air them very often is beyond my knowledge. BTAS is the 2nd greatest cartoon of all time according to Toon Zone and Wizard and STAS placed 21st on Wizard's list.
Batman Beyond runs in some good time slots, and it was considered the 6th greatest cartoon of all time by Wizard and 8th by Toon Zone. Still, we all know BTAS is better.
I want them to start showing them on toonami again!
Yea Duncanzits they show Batman and Superman on The Rising Sun, but that's only once a week. There's episodes I haven't seen in years and I'd have a lot better chance of seeing the ones I want if they showed Batman everyday.
I don't know WHY they are bringing in that Hamster show instead of putting Batman or Superman back up...
Oh well...Batman Beyond's pretty cool, but I'd take the old Batman over that one in a heartbeat.
Personally, I want them to run through all of BB just once so I can get all the episodes on tape. Then, I would LOVE to see the old Batman and Superman episodes, especially since I have not seen many of the B:TAS episodes that I hear so much good stuff about.

I definitely would want to see S:TAS and B:TAS back on Toonami. When I heard that Toonami was reverting back to three hours this month, I thought that was the perfect oppurtunity for them to make their return there. ~Sigh~ But that wasn't to be the case. For now, all they have are the 2:00 and 2:30a.m. timeslots.

Batman Beyond has been running through in chronological order on Saturday nights. I think now that they've extended Toonami, they should air BTAS and switch off with STAS, but I actually like it without Toonami. They cut their series up on Toonami, and I still have to tape some TNBA episodes, I don't want them all messed up, although some STAS episodes I have are. I guess the DVD's are the only hope for anyone who wants to collect the episodes.

I would love to see B:TAS and S:TAS make a return to Toonami but I don't see it happening any time soon. I think now would be the perfect time to bring on of the DC Animated shows on the air while we are awaiting new eps of JL:TAS. As long as they don't make the change before I can tape "Ascension" and they start B:TAS with TNBA I would be a very happy person.

As long as Batman is on Toonami (Beyond, Justice League, or any other version), I'm happy.

I like the idea of a block, although I doubt it would ever happen.
As far as Hamtaro goes, since it is not geared towards teenagers and adults, I won't insult the show. Those hamsters are cute. I would feel horrible if I said something bad about them.

yea sorry about that, its just that cn's desire to compete with new shows is a buzzkill for me knowing they will problably kick bb out of its timeslot soon too

Hehe, true enough but batfans have been yanked around for years now, so you'd have to understand our eagerness to have negative feelings towards whatever is in our way (years ago Pokemon, nowadays Hamtaro and Power Puff Girls....etc). :)
Batman Beyond is being played in order on Saturdays and on Weekdays too. The weekday slot is back to season one. I think they're like six or so episodes into it. (I have to remember to tape "Out of The Past" this circle around. I'm such an idiot. :p)
But ya know, I was thinking too, we've only got three seasons of Batman Beyond. I mean how long could you rerun them over and over. With Batman/Superman you've got a lot more episodes to throw around. :)
In the weekday slot, "Meltdown" (episode 7) ran last Fri. "Heroes" is on today.
Running all 52 BB episodes once every Sat.? That'd take a whole year!

Methinks me have an idea:
A day dedicated to our favorite heroes...a marathon. 24 hours of Bats and Supes...or even jsut Bats.

I think Batman Beyond is jsut fine. But they should air Batman Beyond, Batman:TAS, Batman:TDK, and Superman in intervals.

I like BB better than STAS, but STAS should still be re-aired. Besides, do you have a list of where I can find Toon Zone's and Wizard's lists for greatest 25/50/100 cartoons of all time? Thanks.

Tis a shame as BB has been my DC Animated fix for a while now - that being my daily DC Animated fix. I've always enjoyed this show and really wished that WB had continued it into the fourth season. Now we must once again see BB go back to obscurity - along with STAS and BTAS - airing only once a week until CN decides that the late night time slots are to valuable to them.
I really wish BTAS and STAS would be given the midnight run time slot - for the longest time BTAS was there and I think that the two shows would pull in great numbers for CN. Maybe they could even expand the block by half an hour and have STAS, BTAS and BB on for an hour and a half every week night (I know, wishful thinking).

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
*huff huff*
Well, that's my first reaction. However, I've checked CN's schedule and they're still running BB every Sat. 9:30 (central time), and still in order, so I'll still get a chance to record them all...just at a much slower pace.

:mad: I don't see why BTAS can't just take up a useless slot like Loony Tunes or the many Powerpuff Girl marathons. Who wants to see hours of bugs bunny every single weekend anyway?

Welcome to the board, Two-Face!
Many people like to watch Bugs Bunny. The annual June Bugs marathon constantly brings in extremely high ratings. Bugs Bunny is an animation icon on a whole different level than Batman.
Anywho, I say both series should air Mon - Thurs (not Fri becuase of CCF) in prime time. It doesn't even have to be Toonami - just air them! These shows were made for prime time. Besides, there's already nothing good on TV - these would totally give me something to watch!
YYYEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
I'm so happy now.
Now, after BB is run through, run Bat/Supes!!
Plus, whoever wanted to record "Ascension", it's on this Monday.

I’m with you. I don’t think Toonami has to be the only one to air them. In fact, I liked it better when Batman wasn’t apart of Toonami. At least we got to see his intro. instead of the Toonami ones.

Exactly. While the Toonami intros are usually well done, I like seeing the original intro. I love the music in the original Superman intro and I like hearing it. And even though that intro is 99% episode clips (save for one image of him flying over Metropolis), I like that intro. But these shows back to back on weekday nights. Why not?

I would love it to be back on. First I hate to stay up and watch Superman at 2 Am and wait for Sundays to watch Batman where i live. I say they show it back on Toonami!

I just want to join in and say that they do need to re-air BTAS and STAS during toonami or just air them in the evenings period.
