Batman's Return to CN?

**Supermon** · 05-03-2001, 07:50 PM

Our news page here reports that BTAS will return to the Cartoon Network on May 7. How come the Cartoon Network schedule doesnt show that? Is there another place to look that I dont know about?

With the new Toonami restructuring, I just found out the return of Batman has been put on hold...crud.

"Yesterday we reported that Batman will be returning May 7th to Cartoon Network. That is no more. Since Toonami will be cut back by an hour beginning next week, by Jamie Kellner, Batman has been shifted to the backburner, and will likely now rotate with Superman: The Animated Series. The episode Second Chance was scheduled to air Monday. The earliest Batman could possibly return to the network will be July. We'll keep you posted on this. And BTW - You're not the only one upset, either."

RAAAAAAGH! Dang nabbit.. Superman has had enough time. I want Batman back!!!!!!!!!!! Jamie sounds like a meanie, big-head pants putz..

I was really looking forward to Batman's return.....I just got CN a few months ago and I have hardly been able to see a Batman ep on it.....this SUX!!!!

I think the whole reason that their showing Superman again has to do with rating. From my understanding Superman has been doing better than Batman has in the past, not to say that Batman has ever gotten bad ratings for CN, Superman's just doing better right now.

Personally I wouldn't mind them running Batman, say at 11:30 at night since the time would fit in with the general mood of the show and they do have all 109 ep's.

i agree

**Flying Grayson** · 05-23-2001, 08:23 AM

No immeadiate batman return.
Not till July.
THIS SUCKS!!!!!

**James Harvey** · 05-23-2001, 08:50 AM

You have Jamie Kellner to thank for that, who cut back the Toonami hours. If he didn't, Batman would be on at 4pm (ET) right now...

That guy just sucked the hope for Batman out of me for a while

The people at these companies are out to get us.
Their probably gonna replace Batman Beyond with Poke'mon(now I have to wash my hands for typing that).

**James Harvey** · 05-23-2001, 11:13 AM

They're not out to get us. Why does everyone think it's a conspiracy or they'r eout t get us Batfans. Kellner thinks cartoons means kiddie stuff, and Batman is not kiddie stuff, hence why it's not on for now. I hear that BATMAN may return outside of TOONAMI, and I'll keep you updated on it. All we can do is hope...

**Flying Grayson** · 05-23-2001, 12:53 PM

Okay.
I'll try to be less paranoid.

Still, I just don't get how something called Cartoon Network would put someone in charge that wasn't a fan of cartoons. If he thinks their kiddie stuff, he's obviously not a fan!
