[espanolbot]

...And other cartoon news!
Interview with the creator of the Black Lightning short and with Lauren Faust, creator of Super Best Friends Forever and MLP: FiM,

Speculation on Static joining the cast of the show from this interview over on World's Finest, which also has interesting stuff about the Joker redesign

And some clips from the new Ultimate Spider-Man cartoon, which is being written (at least partially) by Paul Dini, and apparently covers a teenage Spider-Man, Luke Cage, White Tiger and Iron Fist being trained as SHIELD agents,

For that, a cover from the actually kind of cool 2009 BL series,

...okay Ultimate Spider-man. You may have come at the price of Spectacular Spider-man, but that one clip with Thundra actually had some cool stylistic things in it. I'll give it a shot.


Also, EXCITEMENT BEYOND WORDS for DC shorts. Seriously. Every new thing I see about this just makes my day. Can't wait!

That. Is one of the best. Things. Ever! lol

And really looking forward to the Black Lightning animated shorts.

wait... superbestfriends is short? :( i thought it was a full length show :(

[majingojira]

Maybe if the buzz from a short is particularly good, it'll be made into a full length show.

All the DC Nation cartoons are shorts

[dewinged]

The BL-and-Thunder-and-Lightning stuff looks cool.

The Spider Man Clips are also fun, and I was excited about it, then I found out the Nova in this probably isn't Richard Rider, which is what I was looking forward to most. :(

...... okay I MIGHT like Ultimate Spider-Man if they have some supporting heroes too, cause the way Teen Titans got away with that is that you had a time of crazy heroes bouncing their personalities off of each other... and had some serious scenes too...

DC shorts... DC's way of saying sorry for the major over haul...

[icon_uk]

As I understand it, Ultimate Spider-Man has Iron Fist, Power Man, Nova and White Tiger as "backing heroes".

[pyrotwilight]

I'm wondering how what appears to be Black Vulcan will fit in here. Him being Black Lightning's brother perhaps for the sake of the story?

[biod]

Spidey's voice is trying way too hard to be totally radical and witty. It's grating. I'm also unsure if the villain exposition was handled well.
Sooo, I'll give it a shot but can we have Spectacular Spider-Man back anyway?

[marco]

I cannot wait for the DC shorts~! Having Lauren Faust handle it is already awesome, but on top of that, Donna is in it! ;u;

[eyz]

More awaiting these new DC cartoon shorts than DC's actual comics :P

Yay! Black Lightning! Awesome news!!! :D

[gerardotejada]

As a Deep Fan of the Ultimates series (the Ultimate Spiderman was better than the real one) I am happy with the new show,

So they are introducing a gay character into a kids´s show, bravo for them, but a dangerous move, like in a suicide way

[cypherfdp]

Ultimate Spider-Man could be good, but it makes me sad because it came at the price of Spectacular.

I adore SBFF and I would have watched the hell out of the original pitch for Black Lightening!
