Toonami Legacy: "Batman vs Superman" January, 2002

This is a pretty good marathon I have to say. And jammed packed with Toonami promos and commericals.

I've gotten to watch a few episodes, but I've been stuck babysitting my baby cousin all week, so you know.

Yeah, I've been watching part of it. Jim Harvey revealed who the winner was on the news page...I knew I shouldn't have read it! Anyway, you've got to tune into the last two episodes of the marathon!

Yes, I got my cable back just in time!

I've been watching and recording some of the ones that I've missed (though it's only been about two). I was kinda disappointed that Superman won, but it was to be expected I suppose. I like both shows, to be honest, and picking one between the other would have been a tough choice for me.

The character promos for Tenchi are good, too. Though a little on the short side.

Legacy!!!

I never got to see this episode. I've only heard.... legends....

I am also disapppointed that Superman won. Batman rules. I think Smallville's success had something to do with the viewer turnout.

There were Toonami ads, like, everywhere!

In the entire marathon, there must have been only about 25 non-Toonami ads! And there were often cases where there were three Outlaw Star ads back to back to back! And a lot of DBZ ads and Tenchi character profiles and ads. Maybe this was Toonami's big break from its slumber, perhaps it is being revitalized. At any rate, there will be new shows in the spring, such as DB and DBZ, and this should revitalize Toonami somewhat.

as I've said before, I'm fairly certain that it was kids wanting to play the game as Superman who has superpowers (even if the game did say he had lost them) rather than "wimpy" Batman.

I didn't get to see it

Aww...Don't worry, I'm sure Cartoon Network will reshow the episodes that were played. They kind of just played random episodes, except for the last two.

BTW, I too was surprised that Superman won. It's not that I think Superman can't beat Batman, but I thought Batman was more popular...

**mbaker** · 01-27-2002, 07:57 PM

It's official. Superman is the winner of Toonami's "Batman Vs. Superman" contest. Here are the results.

Batman - 46%
Superman - 54%

What are your thoughts?

**RogueMartian** · 01-27-2002, 08:18 PM

rigged

**JohnCrichton** · 01-27-2002, 09:14 PM

I think it's a well documented fact that Batman could beat Superman, but yeah... I was quite surprised myself.

I didn't think Superman was popular.

I'm glad he won tho, that way I got to see Legacy!

I doubt that it's rigged, I'm just surprised Superman won. I always thought Batman was more popular...

**batboy2001** · 01-27-2002, 09:50 PM

I dunno if this one is rigged, but that last one I think it was most probaly rigged (the one where outlaw star won).

I voted for "Batman" in the poll you're talking about, but I guess "Outlaw Star" is just more popular with Toonami fans.

54 to 46 is Flawless? I thought 100 to 0 was flawless...

One more thing...the eps aired YESTERDAY..so it's not like this is breaking news..

One more thing..kids played as Superman, cause he's got superpowers....that's why he won

One more thing...Do I remind you of Uncle?

*thwak*

I dunno, I would think batman fans outnumber OS ones... Well, I can at least say there are probaly more Superman fans than OS ones.
