Me? I wanna see a Young Justice : TAS!

It'll give more development on Robin and be Waner Bros. answer to X-men : Evolution.

You can have them come up with an origin for Superboy and Impulse in the first episode and have Bruce send Tim to Happy Harbour as a transfer student with his Alvin Draper identity but is actually assigned to investigate an agency called 'The Agenda'. Finally he, Impulse and Superboy have to team-up and take them down.

And then you can add Wondergirl, Arrowett and Secret in the upcoming episodes.

But anyway, That's my incessant rambling. How about you?

I would love to see:

- Aztek: TAS. The series could follow the adventures of Curt Falconer as he attempts to create an identity and become a hero to face off against the Shadow God. Not only that but the series could easily incorporate Lex Luthor and villains from both the STAS and BTAS.

- Blue Beetle: TAS - a more lighthearted animated series following the crime fighting adventures of the Blue Beetle.

- Nightwing: TAS - following the adventures of Dick Grayson in his new home of Bludhaven. The city would probably have to change names but it would be great to see DG get his own show and other members of the Bat-Family could easily appear in the series or DG could run the series almost completely without any guest stars. A lot of possibilities here.

All of these series would be based in the current DCU Animated continuity.

Howdy,

I want The Books of Magic: TAS, featuring the mystics of the DCU (Spectre, Dr. Occult, Phantom Stranger, Zatanna, John Constantine, Swamp Thing, Dr. Fate, Zatanna, the Sandman, Etrigan the Demon, Tim Hunter, and Zatanna) in some seriously weird, push-the-envelope animation. It could even take the Neil Gaiman mini as the starting point and proceed from there.

Think of it as an Animated Age version of Vertigo.

I second that idea for a "Nightwing" animated series. Although I do not read comics, I am a huge fan of Dick Grayson when he was Robin on "B:TAS" as Robin and later Nightwing on "TNBA."

i only know him from his guest spot but he seemed really cool

why would they have to change the city name? anyway, this will probably never happen because the tone of nightwing is almost as dark as batman and KWB wouldn't want any part of that. if it proposed to CN, than it might be a possibility but then i won't be able to see it because my cable carrier doesn't have CN included in the package.

I'd like to see an Elseworlds:TAS

imagine it

we'd get great stories like Flashpoint and Kingdom Come animated

of course we might also get garbage like Act of God......

I'd do Young Justice with Robin, Supergirl, Impulse, and maybe an extra member or two. Fits in better with TAS continuity, and there's not as many characters to introduce/pull out of nowhere.

Titans: Nightwing, Arsenal, Donna Troy, Jessie Quick, StarFire and Cyborg.

Anarky:TAS. Yeah!

Well from the looks of things were are getting a titans series. but without nightwing. Robins leading. Which makes sense consider Nighty isnt a teen.
I want a "nightwing:TAS" . And "The Legion"

MY VERY OWN ANIMATED SERIES?!?!?!! Why Thank You RockItShipper!!! Hopefully it'll be better than my shortlived-ongoing series (dead after 8 issues)

Nightwing:TAS. Defiantly Nightwing. Especially since it looks like he might not be in Titans.

Poor Nightwing. :(

I also want to see a young justice cartoon. Heck, I think they should make a YJ cartoon instead of a titans cartoon, especialy if they are intent on using the tim drake robin as leader of the titAns. It makes better sense that he leads the YJ team,just like he does in the comics.

My choices:

- A "Shazam!" Animated Series done right. Figure the Animated format might work well for the Capt. Marvel family (and throw in WHIZ radio, Dr. Sivana, Mr. Mind, etc. etc.). Keep the traditional names ("Mary Marvel"/"Capt. Marvel Jr."--*NOT* "CM3"). If it's in the same universe as the rest of the Animated shows, I'd hope it would be written so that Superman doesn't cast a shadow over the value/importance/presence of Capt. Marvel the way he does in the post-Crisis DCU...

- A "Wonder Woman" Animated Series. Get Phil Jimenez/George Perez to work on the show somehow. Figure Wondy's due a turn after Bats and Supes...

- A "Flash" Animated Series. Would probably have to come up with a new origin for Impulse (vs. the current one being slightly convoluted). Set it in Central City (with Keystone City being in a seperate dimension---allowing for an Animated Series take on the old "Flash of Two Worlds" story :-) Probably a new look for the Rogues Gallery (Mirror Master, Heat Wave, Captain Cold, Dr. Alchemy/Mr. Element) to match the one given to the Weather Wizard on the Superman Animated Series. Supporting characters: Flash's gf/wife Linda from the comics, Impulse, Max Mercury, the reformed Pied Piper...

- A "Teen Titans" Series (as has been mentioned)

Would much rather not see yet another Bat-series, as entertaining as a Nightwing series might be...figure other characters deserve to take the limelight...

Isn't Supergirl a tad older than Robin? I mean I thought Supergirl's age was in par with Batgirl.

Beside I think there is a way of introducing Superboy and Impulse in the first episode and not cause any confusion, Like say The Agenda CREATED Superboy to be used as a living weapon and of course Superboy rebels but they find someway of controling him and Robin and Impulse have to set him free. Or something like that junk :)

If you're talking core DCU:

- Nightwing: The Dark Knight of Bludhaven, a city that makes Gotham look like Smallville with its corrupt cops, gigantic crime bosses, and countless mercenaries.

- Plastic-Man: No Bad Luck Hula, no Baby Plas, no Penny. Just the mallable maverick and his sidekick Woozy Winks taking on strange villians while finding humor in just about everything. I see it as a Freakazoid-like show in the tradition of Batman.

- Young Justice: Robin, slightly older than he was in Batman. Impulse (totally revised origin, because, apparently Barry Allen doesn't exist in the DC Animated continuity). Superboy, a cloned version of the Man of Steel (Supes didn't die on the animated series, but they could possibly craft a storyline with Luthor, still holding files with Superman's DNA, making a younger version who's body can't break down like the Bizarro clone did). Three heroes just getting started. Oh, the hilarity.

- Legion of Super Heroes: I don't know, when I see the Legion, I think heritage, honor, and legacy. The Superman producers only grazed the concept, as they did with the New Gods, but they certainly understand the mythos behind the Legion.

- The Flash: Yeah, he's a major part of Justice League, but that's not to say that he can't work on his own. Outside of Spider-Man, Superman, and Batman, The Flash has the best supporting cast and the best rogue's gallery. Plus, aspects seen in the books like the Speed Force could be seen in detail.

- Green Lantern: Sorry Hal purists. Sorry John fanatics. Guy Gardner fans should sit in the back of the room for this. The current Green Lantern Kyle Rayner should be the hero of this series. He's more creative with the ring.

Beyond the core DCU:

- Sandman and the Endless: With characters like Morpheus, Death, Destiny, and Matthew the Raven, you could say that this series is a dream come true. And will never been seen on a Kids' WB (though HBO would be more than nice).

- Gen13: Superpowered, angst-ridden teens. MTV would eat this up.

- Hardware: The Milestone hero they should have animated first. Think Steel . . . without the Superman inspiration . . . without the lightheartedness . . . with a Tony Stark/Lex Luthor hybrid as the main enemy . . . with a take no crap from no one attitude. He came first, you know, and went head to head with Mr. Irons in the Worlds Collide crossover.

- Crimson: A teenage-turned-vampire on a quest to save the world from the sinister power of the mother of all vampires, Lisseth and the notorious Senator Van Fleet alongside a crazed Navajo vampire, the first demon, wolven warriors, and angelic knights.

Superman: The Hunted: Superman animated series covering the period between Legacy and JL, in which Superman has to try and be a hero while basically being an outlaw on the run from General Hardcastle and the Special Crimes Unit.

Sandman(the vertigo one): a mature show , i just dream of this one.

Watchmen: mini series , very mature........that would be a hit!

Planetary: this would be awesome!

Swamp thing: all the alan moore run , in animation......god-like stuff!

JSA: make Geofff Johnns write it , and it would be a hit!

Preacher: this would be a good one for late , LATE night.

Battlechasers: get an anime studio to do this , and it would be a hit!

Dc finest: an animated show depicting dc`s greatest stories...nah , this will never happen........

yeah, i'm a big fan of kyle rayner. hal jordan was too perfect. john stewart, while revamped as the no-nonsense bad-ass for the JL series, never really did anything for me. i really don't know enough about guy gardner. however, i really like the kyle rayner character, and would love to see him have his own show. being an artist, he is very creative with his use of the ring. he also is very spider-man-like in that he uses humor during battle and deals with his own angst and fears of rejection and failure.

also, a flash series would be cool.

Well, I'd say...

Lobo: The Animated Series - Let's face it: people like anti-heroes, and Lobo's a big-time anti-hero. I would have the show start just after the "Superman" episode with him in it (I don't know the name; the one with The Collector in it) ends.

Justice League Beyond - I really see this one coming soon. After all, didn't you guys say that their are already a bunch of unused "Batman: Beyond" scripts with them in it? They could start there.


And one that's really off-the-wall:

Angel and the Ape - The old comic was great, the new miniseries was great, and a show would add to both. Granted, it would probably have to be on Adult Swim, but still...

I would love to see the JSA, hey captain marvel & hawkman are in the JSA!

A GL series featuring either Hal or Kyle would be good enuff for me!

A superman animated movie showing what happened to him between "legacy" & "JL" would be aewsome!

I hope at least 3 of these get animated.
1.Teen Titans-we may actually be getting this show.I really hoping. I would have Nightwing, The JL,Static Shock, and Spoiler guest star on this show.
2.Nightwing-I would love him to have a solo show. I would have the bat-familly,the teen titans,the JL,and Huntress guest star. in the series. It would follow Dick as his own man more than TNBA ever did.
3.Catwoman-I liked the idea of the scraped Animated series.
4.Justice League Unlimited-This one would be really fun.
5.Wonder Woman-
