It's Disney Time, Warner!

Funny you say that. There are rumors dating back decades, that Bugs Bunny was Walt Disney's creation and that he went to WB to see about getting it published and they outright stole the idea from him.

I kind of would like for this to happen. If for no other reason to see if it causes DC to get their heads out of their asses. Maybe it would mean Wonder Woman would finally be treated as the equal she is in the Trinty of herself, Batman, and Superman.

So far, Disney buying Marvel then Star Wars has been a good thing. Just recently I read Disney will be releasing the original trilogy uncut on BD. Something that wasn't happening under Lucas' watch.

Then again, it could just be one more step in Disney becoming our generous and supreme overlord.

I for one, would welcome Disney as our new entertainment overlords.

Having Disney movies/cartoons, Marvel, DC and Star Wars under all one roof seriously makes me giddy.

Until they shelved all the properties that didn't fit into their bottom line. They're notorious for purchasing, and then burying, movies, shows, etc. just so other companies couldn't make money off of them. And it would completely make it impossible for any movie to get released unless it was 1. A Star Wars movie, 2. A DC/Marvel movie, 3. A Pixar animated picture, 4. A live-action adaptation of one of Disney's animated properties. Four or five types of movies, and that's all, forever and ever, because nobody could get their movie in theaters against them.

What an awful future that would be. Blech.

Meh, all of those channels have gone down hill in my opinion any ways, makes no different

Give me an example of one good serious DC series at all these past few years that your afraid to destroy? All of these new DC shows have been comedy, not very funny in my opinion
