Worst. Cartoons. Ever.

I wish they made a Nightwing spinoff instead of Static at the time.

But Nightwing was an experienced hero....wasn't part of the point of SS that he was a "hero in training"?

No, it was because at the time KidsWB wanted a show that starred an African American hero, and Static Shock was the perfect candidate to make a cartoon out of at the time.

It's the same reason Green Lantern was black in Justice League, (as opposed to using Kyle who was on Superman: TAS), and why Aqualad was black in Young Justice. The WB is very supportive of racial diversification.

I thought GL was John Stewart because they thought he was more interesting...

Bruce Timm and others said they switched to John Stewart because they wanted one black character on the cast.

Remember they couldn't use Cyborg because he was on Teen Titans which was airing at the same time.

^ This.

IMO, Static Shock was a good series. Not one of the top best DC shows, but still pretty enjoyable to watch.

John was around since the 80's though, I think race did have a part in picking GL for Justice League, were in the old Superfrends cartoon, they had to make people up lol.

the show is ten thousand!!! times better than the movie!!
if you even remotely liked the movie you will love the animated show!!
(the characters in the movie act totally different)

look at this kid...he does not smile!


now look at this....same character...but can you tell the difference!


also the action....they were only able to lift one rock with all those moves


this is just one little girl earthbender XD taking out several enemies alone

it's not the same....you gotta watch the show

1) the action (pure eye candy)
2) the characters (the girls are treated sooooo well)
3) the story....oh the story T^T

you know what I'm gonna stop my fangirl rant........just watch it.

[Slade]

I liked that aspect of it. Also, it was nice to have some diversity in the superhero line up. On top of that, I really liked the cross overs they did.

I always felt that Static, while not on par with Batman TAS, was a solid show.

Ugh, y'know what The worst part about the movie is? (Aside from the that Shyamalan wrote and directed it.) It had potential to be decent and enjoyable, but what can you expect from a director who knows how to suck all the joy and fun out of movie.

Are we talking about best cartoons now? I'm gonna add King of the Hill and second Avatar.

While a lot of cartoons today are rarely as good as ones in the 1990's and early 2000's, not all cartoons today are as bad, case in point : Busby
