The Leatherhead (2012) Thread

LH · 12-23-2012, 10:29 PM

This is a thread specific to Leatherhead as seen in the 2012 Nickelodeon series. Feel free to discuss anything you'd like, so long as it's about the 2012 character.

The 2012 Leatherhead is so far my favorite portrayal of the character, both in personality and character design. Peter Lurie did an excellent job giving the character a voice that can be both intelligent and savage, reflecting Leatherhead's fits of rage brought on by the Kraang's experimentation.

I haven't seen the episode he's in yet but I think the 2012 Leatherhead looks creepier than any other Leatherhead I've ever seen.

This topic should be moved over to the Nick forum. I like this Leatherhead since it just feels more like a large pet compared to the others and has a decent personality (Chicken soup reminds me a bit of the gumbo that the 1989 Leatherhead would enjoy). He also has much more fluid motion with fighting as he can take down many Kraang at once. He may look a bit creepy and have a temper problem. His voice suits this version very nicely. It also remains faithful to the Mirage Tales #6 story despite no presence of the Foot as his origin story tells him.

Sorry about that.. I was thinking that for the sake of Donnie's character directory that this should be here. But you're right, it needs to be in the Nick section.

If a mod stops by, can you please move this over to Nick? Thanks!

I like him so far a lot, but too early to say if he'll be even better than 2003 version. Now my biggest fear will be, like it was with 2003 LH, that he's gonna get killed sometime in the series.

*BubblyShell22* · 12-25-2012, 07:18 AM

I really liked his debut and think he's great. I hope we see more of him down the road and that he helps the Turtles out again.

That fear struck me as well. He did say he was willing to die to stop the Kraang from taking over Earth. Hopefully with the help of The Turtles that will not be necessary!

wait a minute!..I love the 2003 series and enjoyed that leatherhead very much..his role in the season 3 finale was a pretty great double episode in my oppinion..I havent been able so far to see all of the last season and parts of season 4, but where does he get killed?!?!did I miss this totally?
can somone tell me again?

*NinjaPug* · 12-25-2012, 10:38 AM

I think the poster meant he will be worried that he will die, much like he was worried he would die in the 03 series. From what I remember, Leatherhead didn't die in the 03 series.

*Ninjinister* · 12-25-2012, 12:05 PM

Yeah, ol' LH was present in the last episode of the series, at Casey and April's wedding. He cried.

*go_ninja84* · 12-25-2012, 01:29 PM

i was kinda surprised to see Leatherhead as a friend to the turtles i kinda like it

Gyt Kaliba · 12-25-2012, 02:08 PM

This was definitely a cool and unique look for Leatherhead in this version of the show. I like the way he seemed to move actually like an alligator too, especially his head movements. For some reason, it was a bit odd to see him and Mikey bond though. Maybe I'm just too used to what I've seen of 2K3 where it was mainly him and Donnie.

*BubblyShell22* · 12-25-2012, 04:15 PM

Just watched LH's episode today and I still can't get over how awesome it was.

LH · 12-26-2012, 08:50 PM

I watched the "itunes exclusive concept remix" today and thought it was funny that when they showed the "villians" concept art they included Leatherhead in the mix. Of course it was released long before the episode, so it was most likely to throw people off.

..and also, there is an episode coming up called "Enemy of My Enemy".. does anybody know the plot to that? Could this be another LH episode?

*CyberCubed* · 12-26-2012, 08:56 PM

Enemy of my Enemy sounds like someone who would team up with the Turtles against either Shredder or The Kraang,

It is possible its another Leatherhead ep where they go after the Kraang.

That's what I was thinking. Unless they introduce another character, I'm going to go with that.

*BubblyShell22* · 12-27-2012, 08:16 AM

Really? Sounds like a good episode name, and I'd love it if LH was in it.

*Lethal Lullaby* · 12-27-2012, 02:00 PM

Ah yes. Leatherhead. One of my favorite characters from the 2k3 series.

Can't wait to see him some more in this series.

LH · 12-27-2012, 02:45 PM

Yeah, It's nice to see Mikey finally has a friend too. You know, after the Chris Bradford incident and the whole "Nobody wants to be with Mikey" thing from "The Gauntlet".

Stinger911 · 12-29-2012, 12:03 AM

Nice episode. One of the funniest yet. Loved the scene where the other turtles are told that Mikey freed him from the chains and the camera pans to him holding teacups and looking innocent as can be.
