Disney rumored to buy Time Warner (and thus DC and Cartoon Network?)

So Time Warner is the parent company to DC comics, Cartoon Network, and all those WB/Hanna-Barbera properties like Scooby Doo, Flintstones, Jetsons, Bugs Bunny, Tom and Jerry, etc.

If Disney buys Time Warner, they will officially own the entire DC comics, and all those classic cartoon characters like Looney Tunes, Tom and Jerry, Scooby Doo, etc.

How will you feel about this? The merging of the DC and Marvel universes in both comics and the movies? Disney having Mickey Mouse and Bugs Bunny under one roof? Flintstones, Jetsons, and Scooby Doo officially being Disney characters?

You might say this will never happen, but 10 years ago nobody believed Disney would buy Marvel or Star Wars, yet here we are.

Wait Time Warner and in the cable company?????
I thought WB owned them or is WB and Time Warner the same company????????

Something tells me that won't happen...

Well we never expected Nickelodeon to buy TMNT either a decade ago so...

Disney buying Marvel and Star Wars isn't the same thing.

No way this happens.


To me, the article actually makes it sound like they would screw up all those Looney Toon characters and the DC ones...

Apples to oranges. Viacom buying the Turtles doesn't gobble up the "Distinguished Competition". Marvel and DC merging would be HUGE! They are the Big Two of comics....TMNT is barely a blip on the radar compared to them.

The thought of Mickey Mouse and Bugs Bunny sharing the same papa just doesn't seem right.

It's Disney Time, Warner!

Yeah I don't think this is going to happen, either. Time Warner is way too big for Disney to usurp them like that.

Hell no
 

This better not happen! They need to stay seperate

This would be interesting if it happens, Bugs and Mickey cartoon series please:D

I agree with this.

As tiresome as the Marvel VS DC arguments get, I think that them sharing the same roof will only make it worse.

I hope it happens for the sheer craziness of it.

This would be pretty weird. More awkward than WWF buying WCW. Or Sonic and Mario starring in games together.

We could see Batman in Avengers 3 in 2018. Make it happen.

It was more interesting to me when fox was interested in it. Imagine Fox news and CNN being owned by the same people

Disney just needs to quit buying it's 'competitors' and just stick with making movies.

Someone once told me that the only reason that Disney even buys out the other companies (like LucasArts for example), is for the
visual technologies, software, and the like.

But Disney should still (in my opinion), stick to making movies.

its more like Mickey would become Bugs' papa

I'd rather them stay separate, really...but whatever happens happens. I guess we'll see.

If Disney thinks that a buy out of Time Warner will make their shares jump another $50-60 I'd say it's a definite possibility.

That's all it boils down to.
