Now, I understand how Futurama applies to what they're talking about. But, what reason is there for anyone with a brain to not realize that Superman/Doomsday is NOT a reboot of any sort? JEEZ! Fricken' idiots... >_<

I think they mean the fact that there's not a real Superman cartoon on the air. I mean, yeah, the Legion cartoon is Superman, but only because they couldnt use the name Superboy.

Its just a way of them saying "Hey, we can profit off of a cartoon with this cat?"

IE, The Batman.

And realizing Futurama shouldn't have been cancelled, thats obvious.

It's Bruce Timm, TZ blow him for attention, it's HIM they mean when they say "revival", since he's done s*it following JLU's cancelation
