First look at Superman (with returning VAs George Newborn and Dana Delany)

The season will contain at least eight episodes worth of crossovers with other heroes, including The Flash against Weather Wizard.

It's official... Jimmy Olsen is really... Archie Andrews! Lois is a fricken toothpick.

Looks like it'll be good. "Fanboy..." :lol:

I wish they woulda shown the rest of the JL, but it still looks good.

[Spawn Guy]

Nice Mettalo design. Love how Clark gets to diss Bruce for once. Metropolis looks really...simple compared to Gotham but that's based on five seconds of stuff that's not junk yard/warehouse. Should be interesting.

[Spike Spiegel]

History repeats itself...Superman and Batman crossovers, and an eventual Justice League...

Was an animation overhaul really that necessary??

Anyway, this new season of The Batman looks pretty cool.

I will say not being a fan of JLA, and Batman being just about my only favorite DC character, I can't say I'm thrilled. I really think last season turned the entire show around from being they way it was, even since episode one. While the first 2 seasons where enjoyable, once they added Batgirl, things slipped fast. plus a lot of the storylines were pretty corny and pointless.

That said, I really wish they didn't try to make this JLA 2 featuring the Batman. I mean, they should just kept that seperate rom the other show, and just let Batman finish his own program off...

Comics Continuum has some new news on The Batman.

Season 5 starts Sept 22nd at 11:30am (with LOSH at 11am).

"Four-time Emmy Award winner The Batman will focus its new season on the introduction of Batman's Justice League peers. Expect amped-up action and heightened stakes as Superman, Green Lantern, The Flash, Green Arrow, Martian Manhunter and several others work in concert with Batman -- and even more of his amazing technological wonders -- to defend Gotham from a seemingly never-ending roster of super villains. The usual suspects return with nefarious new schemes and more sophisticated gadgetry as the Joker, Penguin, Harley Quinn and Mr. Freeze are joined in their quest to rid Gotham of any nocturnal winged creatures by the likes of Sinestro, Scarface, Mirror Master, Metallo, Clayface and even Lex Luthor, who enlists Poison Ivy and her enchanting spores to turn Superman against Batman in the two-part season premiere."

All seasons got an Emmy? That's rediculous, I really feel that seasons 1 and 4 of TMNT should have gotten some sort of recognition, especially now that I know of this ****...

I dunno where the 4th one came from...but the series won an Annie for Best New Animated Television Show 2004.

And in 2006 it won several Daytime Emmys: Outstanding Achievement In Sound Editing and another for Outstanding Special Class Animated Program.

John Larroquette (who recently joined the cast of Boston Legal) will be in an upcoming ep of The Batman voicing Flash villian Mirror Master.

"He uses mirrors in a way that I don't think has been used in animation so far," The Batman producer Alan Burnett said. "There's a point in which you wonder if Gotham's going to survive this guy.

"He's a supercilous sort of guy, very snobby. He's got a great costume that they've made for him for the show."

It's never revealed which version of The Flash is used, but Burnett said it's Barry Allen.

"It's a young Flash, and I grew up on Barry Allen," Burnett said. "We never take the mask off him, so all you Wally West fans can pretend it's Wally West."

The Flash episode is written by The Batman veteran Steve Melching, who also wrote for the second season of Legion of Super Heroes.

More voice casts announced for Season 5 as well as a further list of the villians:

Miguel Ferrer, who is starring in NBC's new Bionic Woman series, is providing the voice of Sinestro in the upcoming season of Kids' WB!'s The Batman.

Ferrer is coming off a six-year stint on Crossing Jordan, and his dozens of credits include the never-aired Justice League of America pilot. In Bionic Woman, he is playing Jonas.

Sinestro will be squaring off with Green Lantern, who is Hal Jordan in The Batman.

Sinestro is one of many new and returning villains for the fifth season of The Batman.

"The Superman/Batman two-part openerhas more villains that I can hold in my brain," producer Alan Burnett said. "You'll see Clayface, Black Mask, Bane, Mr. Freeze, Metallo, Lex Luthor, Mercy and Poison Ivy. It's a villain smorgasbord."

Other returning villains include Joker, Penguin, Harley Quinn, Ventriloquist/Scarface and Hugo Strange.

Among the new villains are Phosphorous, in a episode written by The Batman veteran Joseph Kuhr, and The Wraith, a rather obscure villain from the 1980s.

"He was in one issue, but it was a heck of an issue," Burnett said. "The was the anti-Batman. He supported the crooks like Batman supported the good people."

Yay for the use of random villians nobody even remembers..... :roll:

[Spawn Guy]

I know who Phosphorous is, but I've never heard of the Wraith...sounds like the Spook.

[Drtooth]

And in 2006 it won several Daytime Emmys: Outstanding Achievement In Sound Editing and another for Outstanding Special Class Animated Program.

Sound editing folks... in case you think something else should have one something, or you're not a fan of the show. It might have mostly technical emmys...

This sounds pretty damn cool! Amazing. 3 years ago I didn't even really like that series... about 2 years ago, i hated it. now this sounds great. may even be better than last season.... even though I'm still warey about the JL crossovers taking over the show, this sounds like a reason to wake up saturday morning.

[Time Mistress]

Dang this season sounds awesome! I so want to watch! But what the heck am I going to do when TMNT starts up again in January with TLS? My VCR won't let me switch channels and that's when I'm away at my Kung Fu class. It'll be even worse if both channels decide to air the shows at the same time! Why must I be forced to choose! I must have my TMNT! But why must I sacrifice the other best cartoon on Saturday morning? It's not fair!

[QUOTE=Time Mistress;555648] It'll be even worse if both channels decide to air the shows at the same time! /QUOTE]

TMNT is on at 9:30 and 10am. The Batman is on at 10:30.
