How the movie will influence the comic book and the cartoon?

Somehow I feel the movie will influence the comic and maybe the cartoon. Back to the sewer was influence by the 2007 movie, April, Casey and The turtles appearance change to like more like their movie's counterparts.

I don't think it will influence the new comic and cartoon. I do think, however, that it will probably get its own comic series set in the same "universe" as the movie. A bit like the Transformers films.

The movie will be it's own thing, and it will stay that way. If it gets a comic like Bob says, that'd be great, but there's no way it's going to make everything else follow in its image.

We may see some elements getting slowly incorporated, but nothing straight away. As Bob says, we will most likely get a comic series based in the same universe as the film\s.
Some prequel type comics would be cool, like they did with the 2007 movie.

At PowerCon, Ciro said the movie folks were taking ideas from the cartoon.

Did he specify what ideas those were?

If that means anything more than the turtles' designs (as we've already confirmed the height differences & such) then I'll be surprised. Pleasantly, I hope.

IDW already has a comic going for its new series and the Nick cartoon, I can't see a third ongoing comic for the movies on top of that.

Its basically asking IDW to stretch themselves too thin and possibly lower all their TMNT sales.

I agree with CyberCubed... I think it would stretch IDW too thin to do a full on new comic series, but I could definitely see them doing more of a Micro-Series sort of thing with only like 4 issues as sort of a promo kind of foray... I think it would just be a comic book version of the movie with maybe a few changed up or "deleted" scenes, if you will... Just my 2 cents! I guess we'll find out!

***edit**** Or sort of a Turtle One-shot series- so 4 comics, each one chronicling a turtle, set in that universe, but a setting not necessarily shown in the movie- or an expanded look at a shorter scene from the movie. Just my prediction!

Its got to at least get a little prequel series. IDW did prequels for all of the GI Joe, Transformers, and Star Trek movies (and sequels for some) - while simultaneously running an ongoing comic for each one of those franchises. I don't know why people seem to think Ninja Turtles is a longshot.

I don't think TMNT's a long-shot, I just don't see 3 full blown TMNT comic series running simultaneously. But I do hope to be proven wrong!

i bet it will. idw loves those prequel tie ins, and mirage did prequels for the 2007 movies as well as an adaptation, like it did with the previous films.

Fast Forward and Back to the Sewers was a result of low action figure sales.

Maybe a couple of references to the movie here and there. A wardrobe change maybe for the human characters but I don't expect too much.
